Hmmmm. I've probably a bit more to think about I suppose.
I just thought that this sort of situation kind of rubbished the Copenhagen Interpretation and brought the "Many Universes" interpretation of Everett more to the fore.
Its one thing to talk about an electron being in two states or a...
Just wondering about Schroedingers Cat experiment.
While in box, Cat is both alive and dead until you open box and measure it according to the Copenhagen interpretation. Thats fine.
But if you replace the cat with a human, then the human also is dead and alive until you open the box and...
Put simply, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, as predicted by theory.
But space (the medium through which everything is travelling) itself can expand faster than the speed of light.
Thanks guys.
That basically fills in the gaps for me.
I basically knew already what you just said about Newtons theory implying instanteous propagation of force but never tied it in with why Einstein starting thinking about a more general theory of relativity.
So basically I have always wondered what motivated Einstein to move from Special Relativity to General Relativity.
Anyone care to tell me what was going on in Einsteins mind after he completed his Special Theory of Relativity?
I have done a course in Special Relativity, understand it and I...
I think you might be interested to read up on Max Tegmark (of MIT) and his theory that the entire universe is at its most fundamental level just maths. I really like this theory. Simple and beautiful. Probably will never be proven or disproven. If he is wrong and his theory is rubbish then...
We could be a long long way off a complete and self consistent TOE even with the major advances in all these physical theories like String Theory, so I'm not sure we are in a position to even ask the question "How does Godels Theorems impact on a TOE" never mind answer it yet.
Maybe you might...
