    What happens when a ray of light hits the boundary of the universe?

    The only constant is change. The Universe is 'Infinitely Bounded'. - Just as explorers (hundreds of years ago) thought there was an edge to the world, contemporary scientific observations lead us to think we have found the edge of the Universe...Dark Energy anyone? From recent images...

    Is DNA's Macro Topology a Self-Referencing Spiral?

    I understand that all processes are reducible and consequently have begun at the beginning of the complexity. I appreciate many have done this before me (and better), however knowledge is a poor substitute to understanding and it is in furthering the latter that I make use of my time. I...

    Is DNA's Macro Topology a Self-Referencing Spiral?

    Hi Monique, I appreciate there are models which predict position of the genes - I hope to apply a conserved geometry (sequence of spirals) to the raw sequence and cross reference current predictions with any patterns in an 'idealised' secondary structure(s). The 5'3' characteristics between...

    Is DNA's Macro Topology a Self-Referencing Spiral?

    Done a bit more reading over the weekend and would like to apply the Ulam spiral to an actual dna sequence. Tried to Google an example but can't find one. Preferably the initial few hundred base pairs of a mapped genome. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly...

    Is DNA's Macro Topology a Self-Referencing Spiral?

    Thanks Mishrashubham - great article :) It seems that folding to the most conservative geometry is a facet driving many levels of genetic translations. Although the magnitude of combinations is almost infinite each 'fold' should in some sense represent a 'prime', analogous to number theory...

    Why faster than light is impossible?

    As your speed increases so does your mass (more energy, more mass). As you approach the speed of light you require increasingly more power to keep accelerating...makes it difficult to get close beyond objects with a small mass like protons & ions. Impossible to get there with any rest mass...

    Is DNA's Macro Topology a Self-Referencing Spiral?

    Hey MCat, Just been trying to get my head around the various layers - it seems folding and coiling is a considerably well understood facet of Genetic interplay - Initially I thought DNA was just reproducing itself in a more isolated manner with a background of protein soup, then I thought it...

    Is Infinity Just a Mathematical Concept or Does It Exist in Reality?

    Me neither, which is why you cannot find me saying it. I'm suggesting that without experiencing something it is hard for anyone to relate to or understand it. If your experience leads you to play with Mathematical infinities then I'm sure many can relate to those infinities. However the OP seeks...

    Is Infinity Just a Mathematical Concept or Does It Exist in Reality?

    Mathematical infinities are not Infinities when they are bounded by the context they were framed in. A circle can be considered a local infinity, so in a well understood regulated context you are right...not difficult. Knowing is not understanding - I know the configuration analogy (Infinite...

    Could Reformulating Gravity Solve the Dark Energy Mystery?

    From one hack to another. I do believe we have yet to define Dark Flow, Energy as the 5th fundamental force. I think because it is effective over such large scales we have trouble resolving it, although as with Copernicus...the tools are coming. Conservation (attraction, offset by repulsion...

    Is Infinity Just a Mathematical Concept or Does It Exist in Reality?

    An Infinite hotel filled with infinite people can still hold another infinite amount of people if they shuffle up through the rooms (i.e. people in room 1 move to 3, 2 to 4 etc). The finite mind cannot grasp the Infinite. Then again Maths is where you go for answers that the mind barely...

    Is DNA's Macro Topology a Self-Referencing Spiral?

    Cheers Andy :smile: Am I right in thinking that RNA is effectively the secondary messenger (runner)? - It would suggest then that DNA is more like a Library sending out books, so the RNA (book) would define the position of archival but not method (Alphabetical, Subject matter, Frequency of...

    Does Nothing Truly Exist or Is It Imaginary?

    Langauge is a series of small absolutes (definitive by nature and necessity) we interpret/average in a timely manner and go about our business. Nothing is an absolute. Philosophically, Infinity is an absolute (everything). Both of these states cannot change and retain their 'identity'...

    Is DNA's Macro Topology a Self-Referencing Spiral?

    Thank you Monique. Feels like you have kicked me in the head wearing a size 10 pair of knowledge boots :redface: I need to look at this idea of nuclear envelope, I'll wiki it, although if you have link to a source I would be in your debt...even more. It seems the mainstream depiction of...

    Does Nothing Truly Exist or Is It Imaginary?

    I concur, however I would term our Universe as the potential between the Yin/Yang. Distinct from but a product of. It seems the multi-verse theorists suggest there are infinite potential universes but ours is not so relegated. If they do 'co-exist' (multi verses) what separates them from us? -...
