Null Physics - Science or Scam?

I'm sure they're "paying" to be in the magazine.

 

Science channel has a good show on string theories and multi dimensions. the thinking for it was that they could not pin point the movement of an electron, so common belief, now (again) is that there are atleast 11 different dimensions where different events have different out comes. As per before scientists who believed in string theory or the 11th dimension where shunned by the scientific community. Funny how that al works really. The show also goes into how the universe was created by two membranes that kept rubbing together, thus creating friction, getting hotter, and hence we have the big bang. yet it doesn't actually go into HOW the universe was created. I was dissappointed....

 

...do ya think?

Generally the standard is if they pay and it won't be offensive to the readers.

Car and motorcycle magazines are the worst…most actually sell articles along with advertising. Next time your looking at a car magazine, particularly a speed/hotrod type magazine try to find a product or shop mentioned in a write-up that doesn’t have ad space in the magazine. You simply can’t believe a word they have to say.....

 

You know i don't know much about stephen hawking nor do i really care. But what's the point of all these space theories if our damn governments don't even make an effort to go deeper into space? Not sure aobut you but it is really, and i mean really annoying too see all of these show about the universe, when we are still stuck here on this planet. Not saying iw ant to leave, i have no desire to travel into space, but there are a few people i would like to see, "go where no man has gone before".

 

My father and I were discussing this last night. They believe there are multiple "realities" and each decision you make takes you to another "reality" where you encounter the next decision. You're constantly weaving in and out of these "realities". My father theories that you make your decisions during your sleep, while you are dreaming, so it's not a conscious thing. He also got into the time travel theory using this as an example. I argued that time travel can't happen or people from the future would be here now. He says "what about people who can accurately predict the future" and I said that knowing something is going to happen and it actually happening are 2 different things. Like when a car is going to ram into you. You know it's going to hit you, but it hasn't happened yet. He says that this multidimension thing is the answer to de-ja-vu.

Either way, proving this theory about multiple "dimensions" would be quite the feat. Seems impossible to me, but nothing is impossible I guess How do you prove we live in multiple dimensions? Why would we in the first place? What good does that offer? Personally I believe we just live a linear life from start to finish. There is no jumping around, but each individual lives his/her own life and makes their own decisions. Sometimes (a lot of times) these lives cross and funny things can happen, but there are no multi-dimensions to existence.

About the original post, well it was an Advertisement right? Shouldn't that tell you something?

 

No one can say why or how the Universe began, and where the ingredients to support the 'Big Bang Theory' came from!

It's thought to have occured about 20 billion years ago so, what was there before that; empty space? If so, where did the empty space come from?

My conclusion is, we will never know the answers!

Since someone mentioned Steven Hawking, how many have read his book 'A Brief History of Time', or Carl Sagan's 'Broca's Brain'? Both very interesting reads.

Oh yeah, Null Physics, I wouldn't waste 60 bucks on it!!

 

So you think everything is masterfully planned?

 

Uh, what do you expect the governments etc to do? Even a trip to Mars, which isn't even in our front yard but rather standing on our toes from a cosmical point of view, is incredibly difficult to undertake with people aboard. With current technology, machines can do nearly ANYTHING in space better than any human person could ever do. Taking men into space (beside places like the ISS close to earth) is a complete waste of time and money until proper technologies for travelling huge distances are developed, and for that development, we don't need anyone up there at the current stage, it's all about (theoretical) physics.

 

The whole point of "Quantum Physics" is that "deep space" is merely an idea we made up our heads.

"Electrons" are seen as objects by our brains. There is no keyboard in front of you. Your brain made it up.

Space travel has nothing to do with these theories.

Some of you are talking about 2 different things.

I'm a quantum physics buff. I've read every theory out there. Quantum Physics is today what "the earth is flat" was in 1300's and 1400's. In my opinion of course.

 

Something, Anything! Why should we spend our entire existence here on earth waiting for things to come to us? I'd rather governments sent robots or whatever into space then nothing at all. Which is what it seems like is happening right now.

You know i had this great idea on how to colonize Mars a couple months ago. Basically send a huge rock to mars with a bunch of bacteria that can survive in such harsh conditions and some how help it facilitate and grow. Then turning the planet green again while speeding up the entire process.

 

Not a bad idea, except I don't think you really need to send the rock itself. However, I think we should verify that there is NO life on Mars before attempting such a feat.

 

I have not read the Null Physics book. I do not know what theory they're using.

My post was in response to other posts regarding string theories and quantum physics.

 

I give a lot to quantum physics. Much of what I've read I've used in my day to day life. It's sort of my religion you could say.

The main reason being that we all only have 5 senses to interpret the world around us. I think there is a lot more going on than we have the ability to sense. Or, how can we even trust what our senses tell us?

I've changed a lot of things in my life through meditation and visualization. I won't bore you with details unless you really want to talk about it.

 

Imagine it is 1850 and you have a great idea for a new kind of combustion engine, small enough to be put in carriages. What do you do? Sit down at your desk and try to develop that idea or take the horses out with your carriage, just for the sake of doing something? And robot projects and that kind of stuff are permanently undertaken, but timeframes in space are so huge that those probes are travelling for a couple of years until they reach their destination, which might seem to you as "nothing happens":

 

And to think that the people (most of us) who operate only with the 5 senses have the audacity to talk as if we know everything in the universe is the kind of despicable arrogance that scientists world over show. A lesson in humility is what they need.
