TrickyDicky, I think it is just a question as to how you measure quantum objects that decides whether you have a wave or particle. The word 'particle' itself is a misnomer since this is just a real world analogy to try to explain something that is essentially mathematical.

Well, David Deutsch seems to think the MW idea is correct because how else can you account for the processing of information in parallel as proposed in quantum computing? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Deutsch#The_Fabric_of_Reality

The Plank temperature is said to be about about 100 million million million million million degrees and it is the maximum temperature that allows physicists to describe how the big bang developed in terms of gravity and particles. Above this temperature cosmological theories break down, however...

In a nutshell, Godel's ideas mean that we can only know stuff based on what we already know. If mathematics itself can never be a complete description of phenomena (due to its axioms not predicting every possible consequence of them) then it follows that we can only predict as much as our...

At the end of the day, we can know nothing of 'reality' outside of or perceptual apparatus, which in effect, means we have to 'invent' (in a way) what we find out about our experiences with it. The experiments with which science uses to test hypotheses are themselves based on human invention so...
