    Graduate Multiverse theory, where are they?

    I don't think two universe can co-exist in the same time frame. therefore there is no "outside". and since time is infinite, so is how many universes there are. i think they interact like frames in a movie, the previous frame attributes to the current frame, which attributes to the next...

    Mathematica Are Our Thoughts and Actions Determined by Mathematics? | A Curious Inquiry

    What I meant was if a supercomputer made a prediction based on calculations within a deterministic universe, our free-will could defy its prediction! Ie, your neighbours alarm clock WILL be going off monday morning at precisly so and so a time... But, your free-will may entice you to walk...

    Mathematica Are Our Thoughts and Actions Determined by Mathematics? | A Curious Inquiry

    If this universe is deterministic, then a supercomputer could reveal any region in spacetime, including past, present and future systems existing within it. This would create a new chain of reactions not included in the original determination of the universe, and could only be a determined event...

    Mathematica Are Our Thoughts and Actions Determined by Mathematics? | A Curious Inquiry

    So, if this prediction were exposed to us, we could deliberately change it. I am thinking this is a problem. If so, what happened to the predetermined universe? is it the existence of multiverses that allows randomness? or undeterminability? I really lose hours of sleep trying to answer myself.

    Graduate Multiverse theory, where are they?

    It would seem that only a multiverse can allow a pre-destined universe to become uncertain.

    And moving at .07% the speed of light.

    Can computers only do what we tell them to?

    Hmm, it seems that not even the mind can be random. If it could be considered a computer.

    Undergrad Falling objects: help an ignorant fool

    The Earth's mass has something to do with its overall kinetic energy around the sun, which would effect it's gravity. And it's speed around the sun has something to do with the mass of the sun, which has something to do with ITS momentum relative to everything else.

    Mathematica Are Our Thoughts and Actions Determined by Mathematics? | A Curious Inquiry

    It simply was an argument i was engaged in, to prove that everything happens as a result of what happened prior to it, and whatever happens in the future, including our own thoughts and decisions, are part of a sequence of reactions dictated by the laws of physics. But apparently not. This...

    Mathematica Are Our Thoughts and Actions Determined by Mathematics? | A Curious Inquiry

    I am wondering if every one of my moves and thoughts are mathematically linked to the beginning of time, and that changing this long chain of event is mathematically impossible. A yes or no answer will do.

    Are Cell Phones Harmful to Your Health?

    Actually, a cell phone is more likely to save your life then take it via radiation, by a far shot. As you spend 5 minutes pondering this idea, you have already been exposed to thousand of different types of radiation, and therefore could be taking damage.

    Medical How can mnemonic devices like association and visualization help improve memory?

    The best way to memorize biology is to summarize every paragraph you read in your head before you move on to the next one. Eventually, before moving on to the next chapter, summarize all of the paragraphs you've just read in the original one.. By the end of the book, you will be-able to...

    Graduate Could Unbihexium Unlock Mysteries of Quantum Gravity Measurement?

    I think they used the lead piece because of its mass and density.

    High School What is the physical appearance of a proton?

    I am pretty sure protons would not emit any visible light due to its high energy level. I believe if any radiation emits from it..the electromagnetic fequency would be to high for the eye to perceive, unless it were the pain of your retna burning up..
