Thanks for your reply. You have slightly misunderstood probably due to my clumsy sentence construction. I agree with your last paragraph. I was of the impression that to probe the Planck scale would require a particle accelerator the size of the Galaxy or some such nonsense, but anyway I was not...
I can't get my head around it when theoretical physicists talk about types of branes and how these branes could be described in order to account for a cause of the initial creation event as it is now posited.
It seems to me that because it is obvious that we will never be able to get enough...
I'd forget about eps or other now arcane formats. If jpegs themselves are not good enough and I fail to see why that would be then the best universal format to use and why it was invented is to use a pdf. A pdf is not a file format as such but it is a container, it can contain vector or...
Yes, but what I have trouble comprehending, is that it's fine that gravity can be described as a field of virtual particles like the EM field, but when gravity is described as a curvature of space-time, does that mean that spacetime and the virtual field of gravitons are the same thing in a...
If mass is quantised and energy is mass why isn't energy quantised. It seems that it's possible to have arbitrarily small amounts of energy.
Then if energy does not need to be quantised, then what is the need for a graviton, when gravity is described as a curvature of space?
What do you mean by 'what is space'. What is an electron, an electron is something that has the properties of an electron. To know what an electron is you need to know what its properties are. Same with space. Space is nothing more than it's properties. So you need to know what it's properties...
If I may suggest a different approach to your question. The key word in your question is the word 'belief'. What you want is to 'understand'. Therefore it's a good thing to take something as you have done that you 'know' goes against accepted knowledge and find fault with it.
BUT, the thing is...
Why would it be? That would be equivalent to putting a refrigerator compressor inside the fridge. Except that the whole room becomes an extension of the fridge.
