    Graduate Is space-time discrete or continuum?

    Great book its a little weird starting out but if you keep pushing on the ideas start to sink in I would recommend it. I'll have to look at his other work it looks quite interesting!

    Theoretically its possible if you had enough things to store information on. Except did this discussion turn into whether or not there are even enough particles in the Universe to store that information.

    Graduate How can Schrödinger's Cat be both alive and dead?

    Schrodingers was trying to show that the wave function might both collapse and keep going in separate universes but the experiment could be ruined if something as simple as cosmic radiation interacted with anything or if Schrödinger were watching the whole experiment would be ruined. In summary...

    Graduate Is space-time discrete or continuum?

    well technically there's no definite answer some physicists say that time & motion don't exist that every thing that has ever happened is simply all existing I would suggest Julian Barbour's "The End of Time" if you want to pursue this idea further its a good book

    Engineering Which is more prospective engineering or physics?

    So do you think either double majoring or majoring in physics and minoring in engineering because i would preferably be involved in the experimental side of whichever brach of physics i end up choosing and I heard that an engineering degree can help in experimental physics
