It's a (kinda) joke. Don't worry about it!

i'll try not to. as long as it doesn't come near me with semtex taped to itself i can ignore it. am i allowed to consider string theory as barking?

 

I

Its still a free country.

doggy cheese? not dutch mountain doggy cheese? also know as emad.

 

thanks.

i hate the phrase "thought experiment" too.

 

Not sure about string theory. I am sure that Bohr's model of the atom is a loooong way from what actually is there, though.

Doggy ahhh i

 

i did some crystallography once. there seem to be gaps in atoms, but i can never see through them.

Well i

 

right, i'm off to spend the next 389 minutes in an alternative universe or dimension or something.

 

No need to amplify, but it never phased him.

"I'm a frayed not."

 

I'll have a stab at it.

1. Yes. Infinity is just that, every possibility ever imagined, every choice you could have made but went the other way, every alternative to everything ever could potentially exist elsewhere. But following that model, there is also universe where that isn't the case, cool eh?

2. You're confusing the universe we live in with the multiverse theory (infinite number of infinite universes). The universe we live in is finite, even though it is immensely vast (something like 99.1% of it is empty space, not accounting for dark matter and other unknown forces) it has an edge.

3. Inifinty means that all possibilities are granted, there are no limitations, it's why it annoys so many scientists. Like, did you know there are as many odd numbers as there are even and odd numbers combined? On the face of it it sounds really daft, there are two different types of number which you could arrange into two groups, so how can adding both together give you more than one of the group? It's impossibly true.

Because radiation gets weaker as it travels, hence why we didn't really feel the effects of Chernobyl (it only got as far as North Cave). As that wavelength gets wider, the strength of the wave becomes weaker. The stars look like an enormous ball of fire, but they're actually a constant nuclear explosion, so it's radiation heat we are feeling, as opposed to the heat you feel from your radiator, which requires particle vibration to move.

The theory of Dark matter is interesting, I think it carries a lot of merit, to write it off definitvely without proof isn't very scientific of you. You're welcome to an opinion, but if the scientific community as a whole still believe it exists (me being one of them), I don't think it should be written off in such a blase fashion.

 

I'm not a fan of Brian Cox, at all. Not only 'cos he sounds so gormless. I think he would be better suited as a Shakespeare scholar. But he'd still sound gormless.

 

I used to Bragg about my crystallography...until I discovered I was not on solid ground.
