    Can cosmologist mathematicians compute all the way to absolute nothingness?

    Something like the CTMU perhaps?

    Quantum Fluctuations and the Origin of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

    Well, how about pair production in the multiverse? That is to say, a 4D white hole and black hole pair form in a higher dimensional space. Because they are pair produced, they exist in perfect equilibrium at t=0. No quantum fluctuations. They would interact with their surroundings but the...

    Does spacelike separation have anything to do with non-locality?

    The cause-effect relationship of timelike events is fairly self-evident. But I was wondering, do non-local effects of QM "synchronise" events that are separated along spacelike intervals? Could there be some kind of co-dependent arising, such that if event X happens in one region of the...

    Is there intelligent life out there? I have a strong argument that says no.

    Hey, he said intelligent life :-p Your arguments are fair OP but I have contentions. Consider if there were life on a zillion different planets all springing up and evolving simultaneously with Earth. All of them looking for intelligent life and lacking the tools to easily discern its...

    Kinematic equation looks like a Taylor series

    This is correct. Of course, the higher order terms vanish very fast so we don't really need to consider them. And yes, it is a taylor expansion of sorts except a Taylor expansion involves summing from 0 => infinity. It follows because in order to get the position, you need x(t=0), then add on...

    Is there more to the universe than what we can see?

    There is no way to falsify the existence of anything beyond the "observable universe" so for all intents and purposes there is no saying "certainly".

    Are Food Phobias Affecting Your Diet Choices?

    I think your brain is trying to tell you you're doing too much maths.

    How does a given wave acquire it's frequency ?

    Through the relation e=hf. Given a certain amount of energy due to be released (say by an electron changing state) the resultant wave will simply have that frequency.

    A fast fly hits a train and then ?

    I doubt much of the energy would be released. Most likely depends on the material properties. What kind of bonds would even hold tight at that scale?

    Help me restore to normal sleeping hours

    You can either gradually shift your pattern or snap straight into the normal cycle by sacrificing a day. The latter needs a lot of committment; just stay awake for 2 days straight and fall asleep at exactly the time you want, using caffeine as necessary. You'll then have to somehow force...

    Is This Perpetual Motion Machine Really Possible?

    Well at least the laws of statistics are broken, given that the cat always hits the ground instead of butter. I think we have an infinite improbability drive here, not a perpetual motion machine.

    Why do we say motion is relative?

    Plain and Simple: Because it is. You're Welcome.

    Does it matter if I turn my computer off?

    Completely incorrect, the whole point of the multitude of fans and heatsinks in a computer is to disperse as much heat generated by the components out of the case as possible.

    Photon Bandwidth Frequency Limit: Determined?

    When the wavelength hits the Planck length then not much more can be done.
