Inefficiency Converting matter into energy, beaming it to a remote location and then converting it back into matter is extremely inefficient. It violates the laws of thermodynamics. You would have to insert more energy at each step. How would this inserted energy be assembled? And how would...

Here's where I get confused. Define "infinitely curved space". Let's take a 2 dimensional example. Start with a straight line on a piece of paper and you are a dot on the line. Bend the paper until it curled upon itself like a tube. Now the line makes a circle and we have a singularity...

As I understand it, the photon will never experience time as anything more than a single point. Therefore, time will not exist for the photon. Meanwhile, it will occupy all space from point of origin to point of absorption. We observers, on the other hand, should see the photon travel at C...

Hmm... I stand corrected. That is still a very long time. If there is no evidence to show that gravity is a particle, why are we trying to come up with a quantom theory of gravity? Why not just treat it as a field, or as an extra dimension? BTW, anyone have a problem with the logic when I...

5 days, no reply. Am I to take this to mean there is no solid evidence that gravity is a particle? How about the question of the equivalence principle? Does it apply on the subatomic or quantom level?

There is one limitation I'd like to inject here. Creativity is inherently unstable, in our case at least. The greater the creativity, the more unstable the system becomes. This is the origin of the phrases "crazy like a fox", and "there's a fine line between genius and madness". It's in the...

There's no question that global warming is real. Even the oil industry accepts it as a matter of fact. http://www.scientific-alliance.org/news_archives/climate/bushcoversup.htm Once again, politics, rhetoric, and propaganda will probably win over facts, logic, and truth. The Scientific...

But Dr. Kaku also wrote that the mathematics of Maxwells equations all unify into a single symmetrical equation if you consider time as a fourth physical dimension. This is evidence that time is not "woven" at all. I have reason to believe the difference is not with the dimension but rather...

Singularities in the classical (macroscopic) sense are well established and a couple has even been found (or so we think). However, their presence in the quantom sense are not so well investigated. I still tend towards believing their presence, but until furter evidence comes in, I'll remain...

You forgot the other side of that coin. We must also act to prevent people from becoming terrorists in the first place. It does no good to neutralize terrorists when your methods of neutralization contributes to their creation. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying we need to do both.

I have no idea.

Current theories suggest a very long but not infinite length of time. They do melt away due to quantom tunnelling, but it would take billions or trillions of years. But has anyone insterted entropy into the equations? Certainly squeezing that much mass and energy into a small space would...

Give me an addy, Fox. I doubt it's worth anything, but I'll share it.

I see what you mean, and I agree and disagree. We're talking about the same thing but we're not. You mean a robot controlled by a program which learns to adapt to it's environment by modifying the logic in it's database. Whatever works, remains intact. Whatever does not work is given an...

Exactly my point. all existing universes are supposed to exist within the confines of superstring theory. Therefore, all existing universes are supposed to share the same n dimentions. To think otherwise brings one to conclude that either there are an infinite number of independent...
