I was watching this terrific lecture by David Tong and there was a section at the end from around 50:12 - 54:00 that I found particularly fascinating. I am very much a layman when it comes to these topics and my question may be silly, but what sort of ideas are there that state that all the...

OK, so I saw a video of someone doing the water to wine trick and just had to learn it. There are apparently a few different ways that this can be done,...but settled on this version: http://imaginationstationtoledo.org/content/2010/11/water-to-wine/ It's absolutely great, but for some reason...

I am a Physics Nerd and a filmmaker. I have a short film that takes a look at how strange physics can be especially under certain conditions. Wanted to open up with a quote from a well known Physicist that conveys how mind bending physics can be. Doesn't need to be anything too long. Don't...

It seems like there has been a couple of times in the history of physics when we have observed something that seemed to break the rules of accepted theory. What do think were some of the most surprising discoveries in the last 50 years or so that broke the rules of what what we thought was possible?

This may be a bizarre idea, even idiotic idea but could you move sideways through time? I have heard that time may flow differently in various places. We experience a forward flow of time whereas some other planet in our universe could experience a reversed flow of time. However, if time is like...

I am curious to hear some theories on how we might communicate with an alien race with math. Let's say that there is a one way line of communication between the two of us. We don't have the luxury of showing each other writings back and forth trying to figure out how to communicate. They know...

Let's say that negative mass existed, what might it look like? Could it look like an ordinary rock stuck in the ground? If so, what would happen if you tried to move it around? If it moves in the opposite direction it is push then wouldn't it be impossible to move it in any direction? Would it...

Thanks for the link to the book. It looks incredibly interesting, in fact I just ordered it from Amazon. So is there no good way to create a traversable wormhole? I had the idea that this character travels to this other Universe in the end. This fact was going to be a bit ambiguous within...

Hey thanks so much for the response. This is exactly what I need. OK, so using entanglement probably won't work then. So to go along with what you said, is there anything interfering with the idea that they could track specific objects (like a human) from their Universe by consistently opening...

So I have been working on a sci fi script, and I wanted to run a few ideas past you guys to see if they hold up. I have never taken a physics class and most of what I have learned is from internet articles and Michio Kaku. So I certainly don’t claim to be an expert. ☺ I have taken all the...

I just saw a BBC special on m-theory and in the last minute of the show one of the physicist mentions that it could be possible to create a universe in a lab that could detach itself from ours as it expanded. He didn't elaborate beyond that and I wonder what kind of mechanics would be used to...
