This is actually a good observation. Do we really need more than the four rules of arithmetic to express other constructions in hypercomplex algebras, or can we find ways to represent every operation in terms of the four rules? See web article on quaternions...

Yes, you can travel faster than light. You just can't travel faster than light "locally". But, global FLT is possible. You can "jump" from one spacetime point to another spacetime point across the universe, but you take your local environment with you, so you still travel slower than the...

It's all speculation ! There may be no big bang. Because the universe is expanding today, doesn't mean it was always expanding in the past until some singular point is reached looking back. It could very well be like a spring: oscillating. Maybe the universe always existed, always just...

No. If no energy enters or leaves the system, the particles must have the same energy, and the same momentum. If you increase the volume, the same particles simply strike the boundary at a lower rate, and this causes the pressure to drop, but also causes the temperature measured at that...
