Or, if you want a more up to date synopsis from Smolin of the current state of qunatum gravity, you can read his new paper here:...
tempusme said: You are misinterpreting the results. Spacetime is curved. See the following link for an explanation from Cal-Tech:...
Lucas said: Such "experimental data" would overthrow general relativty, Lucas. If this were the case, it would make every headline in every...
Beercules said: Wrong. The cosmological meaning of "flat universe" has nothing at all to do with the geometry of spacetime. It simply means...
That's because you obviously don't completely grasp GR. Quit thinking in absolutist terms. Also, you must consider that the universe is about...
Wrong. The quantum vacuum fluctuations were many orders of magnitude smaller than an atom. That would be correct, and is a long standing...
I have been informed that my link to the Smolin article no longer works. No fear, there are several other places where it can be found. If anyone...
Or you might want to try Rene Descartes, Cogito Ergo Sum. What you say here is nothing but regurgitated Cartesian Dualism, except in your case it...
You are behind the times then, James. LQG is string theory's biggest rival, and in my opinion (and many others) satisfies more questions about what...
I haven't seen this solution posted, so I will post it: [IMG] Basically, the above is an infinte geometric series but one that will converge....
Alpha said: First of all, the Planck length is not a "particle." It is merely a mathematical construct often used in conjunction with N-...
Zero said: You obviously don't understand Kant very well. Explain his noumena without the use of rationalism or reason (hint: it can't be done)....
This is only one of several paradoxes by Zeno. There is no such thing as "Zeno's paradox." He devised many.
" Indeed space... space is the absence of matter. " Ok, then you said: "But I do believe that to some degree there is energy stored in...
Thank you all for responding. Let me address each of you. First Ryan said: "If you want to be top notch at quantum mechanics, this is what you...
Hi, I am very interested in conceptual physics, and I feel that I have a decent grasp of the ideas behind relativity and a decent portion of...
Dinosaur said: "Even those publishing papers on such possibilities indicate that all the available energy in the universe would not be sufficient...
Not what the oceanographers and archaeologists have said in interviews. --shrugs-- maybe they lie?
Homer never once espoused any such story in any of his writings. You have Homer confused with Plato. Homer was not just one person, by the way. He...
lethe, If you're going to make a point, at least have the correct information handy when you try it. Thorne and those other "pop scientists" you...
