I'm just being introduced to the theory of LQG, but I have long been a proponent of M theory (or superstring theory, or whatever you want to call it) because of the mathematics. I read in an earlier post a question about the unification of gravity and electromagnetism, and would like to note...

General relativity seems to work just fine, I think all we need is a modification of the way either space or particles work at quantum scales. M theory is, in my opinion, the most promising candidate at the moment.

Strange Sun-like Object... Any Ideas? A few days ago, my family and I were stuck in a traffic jam on the expressway about an hour before sunset. There were no clouds in the sky and my sister pointed out what appeared to be a small sun a quite a bit to the southeast of the larger one. I have...

Gee that's a tough one... what if we can't tell them apart? :wink: Here's an interesting one... Jennifer Granholm or Tom Daschle?

It all comes from the Latin word 'radical' as into radiate. That's also how the element radium got its name.

That's true about the windows. Besides, if you're that deep underwater, everything outside would be pretty dark wouldn't it? Oh well, maybe they're for claustrophobic people . I think powering trains with electromagnets is a good idea. Certainly faster and probably more environmentally...

If EVERYTHING were bigger, including atoms, than I guess it wouldn't matter. If everything were bigger and atoms stayed the same size, everything would have more atoms, and be more fragile. From that perspective I guess atoms are just about the absolute scale of measurement.

There is a developing theory that the Universe may be shaped like a three-torus, the mathematical equivalent of a rubber cube that's bent so that all opposing sides are connected. This would mean that the Universe is finite, but does not have the problematic edge that's included in most...

I think that there is almost certainly life in our Universe other than on Earth, and there is a good chance that there is at least one other intellegent species. However, knowing what we do about the laws of physics, it is highly unlikely that we'll contact each other within the next thousand...
