I was wondering if consciousness really causes the wave-function to collapse, and if this is the reason why our behavior is not erratic. Thanks!

Interesting question. I would guess that, as the universe continues to expand, it cools down. So, the galaxies are not moving faster, we are just moving slower. Just a guess.

We are all comparable to bodies in an elevator. The earth, orbiting is the elevator, although it's speed is constant. I agree with what you said.

That sounds right to me.

It could definitely be caused by the first. I don't know about the second.

What kind? Classical? Quantum?

Not exactly. After all, singularities have density. I wouldn't say, I have zero hands, I must be a singularity. :p

Here it is from Wikepedia: The black hole aspect of the Schwarzschild solution was very controversial, and Einstein did not believe that singularities could be real.

These are some of the best physics jokes on the internet. Enjoy!

I find it fascinating that relativity suggested the existence of singularities, which Einstein considered to be prohibited by the laws of classical physics. He never excepted their existence. So, Einstein didn't exactly disagree with his theory, but something "resulting" from his theory.

Hi Meg! Pleased to meet you!

You should definitely learn geometry! It trains your brain to think in new ways, and is a fascinating subject. Some theories of physics, like the "General Theory of Relativity," are impossible to understand without geometry. You won't regret it!

Welcome to "physics forums!" Good luck with your PhD. That sounds really cool!

That is fascinating!

Today I learned that "Ah, Satan sees Natasha," when spelled backwards, reads, "Ah, Satan sees Natasha."
