    Do Parallel Universes Really Exist?

    Oh why ever not chronos... :biggrin:

    Perceiving the expansion of the universe in daily life

    Expansion of the universe could be likened to something being slingshot. E.g. if you had a ball in your hand and threw it, the speed, distance and tracjectory are contingent on how strong you are (what force you can apply), the mass of the ball and any opposing force (none in space). The more...

    How does DNA know when to evolve

    Questiner. I know what you are getting at. You think there must be some inherent abiility for the body to communicate to the genes that "a new lung or less hair" etc is needed for the species to survive the ambient conditions. The fact that plants can adapt to their environment, or what is going...

    Is Human Evolution Limited by Physical Constraints?

    I would think that there must be a limit to certain aspects of evolution within the human body. Eg. height. If we evolve into heights of 7 or 8' then how will the heart cope with it. personally I think there is a limit to how tall we can grow. Intellect? apprently our brains are growing...

    How does DNA know when to evolve

    I would think that the DNA doesn't so much 'know' when to evolve, but rather, there was an accident in mutation and this accident or blunder was passed onto a portion of the offspring and it enabled them to survive a certain enviroment. The ones without the mutation just died off cos they didnt...

    Could Savant Minds Unlock New Insights in Physics?

    ok then, explain what a 4 dimensional environment looks like...assuming of course that the 4that you are saying that the 4th dimension is a physical manifestation...cos otherwise you are talking about us living in a 3D world with 'time' being the 4th dimension..and a 5 year can intuitively...

    Do Parallel Universes Really Exist?

    Parrallel universes exist? No! I am of the opinion they've hit a wall, run out of ideas and this is the best they can come up with, and cos it sounds intricate, complex and unfathomable...then it must be right!... We live in a physical universe, it is all explainable, its not complicated in...

    Revolutionizing the Universe: String Theory & Quantum Gravity

    I've been saying this for the last 10-15 years...and its not just the quantum theorists that need a massive re-think. So glad to hear a paradigm shift may be iminent!

    What is Compactified Extra Dimensions?

    Dave, if there was a cosmic scale 'nipple' I think (given most scientists are men) they would have found it by now. :biggrin: Im amused though... a man that can read a womans mind...what a pity you're wrong though. I actually think the balloon analogy is good enough for basic explanation...

    What is Compactified Extra Dimensions?

    Seeing a hose from up close or from far away does not change the state of the hose, its dimensions or how many dimension it has, so if a hose has one, two three four or even ten dimension that won't be altered by the observer being closer or farther away from it...its our perception that is...

    Why the universe is expanding faster and faster

    But enricfemi, if you can't understand the basics of the expansion then how do you expect to understand the impact of dark energy...never mind dark matter. If I were you I would familiarise myself with the mechanics of the fundamentals first, then move up a notch at a time. If you don't...

    What movies the particles of light?

    Light can be a particle or it can be a wave, any reasonable book will explain the mechanics of it, In space light has what is called wave-particle duality. the particles travel on the wave and the wave carries the particle. This is why light can travel through space. Sound hower has entirely...

    Expanding Universe: What Drove Early Universe Expansion

    The universe is continuing to expand from its initial big bang (you can think of it like conservation of momentum or inertia to make things easier... something that started expanding at the big bang is going to continue expanding). (Thought I'd posted a reply to this last week, but can't find...
