Why are there only two types of electric charge? I'm asking as a total layman in science. I've started to wonder about this the more I watch popular science videos about the Standard Model of particles physics and about matter and antimatter. In particular, the various types of subatomic...

Check out this project: Breakthrough Starshot. Whether it can be pulled off, who knows. But its goal is to do just what you've asked about. https://breakthroughinitiatives.org/initiative/3 "Breakthrough Starshot aims to demonstrate proof of concept for ultra-fast light-driven nanocrafts, and...

Ah, thanks - the paradox is referred to as '"the information loss problem" in the original post and, as you mention, discussed in posts 33, 35, and 37. Regarding the resolution of the paradox, though, from what I'm reading, it has not been resolved. For example: "To resolve the paradox, one of...

Thanks, but I don't see the paradox mentioned in this thread prior to my post. Could you point our where? Also, I see several proposed resolutions to the black hole information paradox, but nothing saying it's definitely been resolved. Which solution do you mean...

Yes, that is pretty much what I thought. I think the OP question can still be valuable in that regard, if only as a kind of recreational thought experiment. For example, in a universe where the speed of light was variable and increased in the area around a collapsing massive object, wouldn't the...

Thanks for the responses! I was still a little confused, so I searched YouTube for a devil's advocate sort of video. I found the one below. (More commentary by me below the video.) Cantor's Diagonal Argument Applied to Integers - Fatal Flaw The video claims to find a contradiction in Cantor's...

Hello experts, Full disclosure: I am a total layman at math, nothing in my training aside from high school courses and one college calculus class. I'm sure a week doesn't pass without someone posting a question about or challenge to Cantor. I am not here to challenge anything but rather to...
