"Nothing" is one of the questions much like "infinity", I find myself questioning these supposedly two "real" expressions. Logically they both make sense.
Lee Smolin just thinks he discovered a way to disprove Godels theory. Just today. Have not had time to read yet. More to come when I finish reading it.👍
I miss stated my thought. I meant to say it would take the energy contained in all the universe to see those details. That still does not change the incompleteness theorem. Unless we can view the whole of any system we can never know everything about the system. We are as Sabine says "LOST IN...
I read that the energy we would need to probe these small scales is about the energy density of the universe. And if Kurt Godell is right we will never be able to totally understand our universe because we cannot observe it from the outside.
A free photon can have any wavelength and energy; no discreteness there. Just because something is quantized, or fundamentally quantum in nature, doesn’t mean everything about it must be discrete.
The idea that space (or space and time, since they’re inextricably linked by Einstein’s theories...
What makes us believe we can represent an analog universe with digital representations? We can only know the radius of a circle or it's circumference with precision because Pi is an approximation.
