SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the feasibility of creating matter from nothing, challenging Einstein's conservation laws. Participants debate the implications of the Big Bang Theory (BBT) and its apparent contradictions with established physics. Key points include the transformation of energy and matter as described by Einstein's equation E=mc² and the concept of the universe's total energy being zero, as articulated by Stephen Hawking. The conversation highlights the ongoing mysteries in physics and the theoretical nature of current scientific understanding.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Einstein's theory of relativity and the equation E=mc²
  • Familiarity with the Big Bang Theory and its implications in cosmology
  • Knowledge of the law of conservation of energy and matter
  • Basic grasp of quantum theory and its relation to gravity
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of the Big Bang Theory on the conservation of energy and matter
  • Explore Stephen Hawking's theories on the universe's total energy being zero
  • Study the relationship between gravity and quantum mechanics
  • Investigate current theories on antimatter and its properties
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, cosmologists, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the fundamental laws governing the universe.

Ok, the Standard can NOT say that new theories are falsified through contradictory evidence. Where did you get that from?

What "Standard" are you talking about?

Anyway, you are wrong. If a theory makes a prediction, and the experimental evidence contradicts it, then the theory is wrong. It's just that simple.

Yes, I agree with you that the Standard Model does contradict with many devaiting theories. But it does not give reason to rule them out as wrong.
New theories can not be compared with the Standard Model. I'm sure you'll agree with me that you can not use one thing to prove a totally different thing wrong. It's like saying my birthday isn't the real birthday, because yours is on a different day.

You need to learn to read. I specifically said in the last line of my last post that a theory cannot be falsified by comparing it with another theory. They are falsified when compared with contradictory experimental evidence.

Experiments really don't mean anything. Oh, wow, the Standard Model is backed up by experiments that agree with observational data...ITS A THEORY! Sure, whatever, Tom.

Incorrect. Experiments mean everything. In science, they are the final court of appeals. If a theory doesn't match observed reality, then it's wrong.

Tom:
Incorrect. As I said above, you can not use the Standard Model in contradiction with proposed theories to rule them out as wrong. Nothing is falsified just because it does not go in accordance with the Standard Model.

Again: Learn to read. I did not say what you think I said.


Wrong. Experimental data is not what makes a theory concrete.

Again: Learn to read. I explicitly stated that theories cannot be proven, although they can be verified.

You can not compare experimental data either, because it relies on the theory itself. Which is just like comparing theories. So, yea. :-p

Incorrect. Experimental evidence is not a theory. It's the thing against which theories are tested.

Well, I told you to knock it off, but for some reason you have seen fit to keep acting like an idiot. So this alias of yours is going to be banned along with the others, and so will any future aliases.

Good riddance.
