I was just thinking about how gravity by special relativity is a wave that travels at c, and correct me if I am wrong but theories think that the graviton could possibly be part of this wave. what if mass not only curves space time but also creates ripples in space-time and this is what we see...

Good question! Maybe this one should be left to the philosophers yet i somehow i feel that physics holds the answers to this question. I'm not that knowledgeable on string theory but maybe that holds the answer. I like the idea that the universe is a huge symphony at the uncutable but like an...

Does this mean then there is a relationship between the rate that time elapses and the curvature of space-time itself?

Is that true though? couldn't it be that if there is causality then one can always predict?

I heard that at the time of the big bang the universe expanded faster than the speed of light, can anyone back me up on this? and if it is true then does that mean that the speed of light is not the universal speed limit?

I guess it all boils down to the question of is it theoretically possible to calculate the exact postion of every particle and its vector then calculate what happens next. I can understand when one is calcualting for something like the control mechanisms you spoke of one need to consider how far...

Thats true but what we can say is that we still don't have a complete understanding of gravity if new theories are still being proposed to this day such as the graviton. So in essence we can say that we are still perplexed about why man/woman is attracted to earth. What do you think about String...

I understand that concept yet it still puzzles me the fundamental physics of why that happens. Doesnt string theory predict the Graviton particle as some kind of explanation?

I'm not sure about how to answer your question but i have a feeling the previous post has don't just that but have you noticed sometimes from the same vantage point looking at the same thing on different days the object can look slightly bigger or closer or smaller and further away. From my...

Can anyone tell me why my feet stay on the ground?

I've just finished reading Einstein's Biography by Walter Isaacson. There is a pasage that got me thinking about the way Einstein observed the universe and his distaste for quantum mechanics. Einstein is famous for declaring that God dose not play dice, basically what he was saying is that, even...
