May 9, 2012 - May you please teach me quantum physics and string theory theyre my great curiosities for my propensity for scientific work. Ialready know everything in Maths. Besides Im only 12 and the reason im trying to learn thsese stuff is because i believe that learning theses at and early age may cause you to unravell great mysteries.

May 12, 2012 - You're twelve years old, you do not know everything about math, I promise you, there is much to learn, some easy, some a bit harder. I do like your attitude, email me if you're interested in learning some more;iprovedtheriemannhypothesis@gmail.com - The Riemann Hypothesis, being the Zeta function, revolving in 3-Dimensional graphs and prime numbers - Simply a joke.

AllNamesWereOccupied Says:

May 12, 2012 - Unfair statement, who are you to judge those who put all their effort into helping others. Get rid of that pretentious attitude and start doing something to disprove that theory - People like you makes me think otherswise, hence proving your statement.

May 12, 2012 - The odds of an apple falling to the ground are so improbable that any mathematician should disregard it happening. But there are forces that makes it a fact, called gravity. There are other forces that makes life appear, and life will appear, and we have found amino acids on comets. You cannot calculate it atom by atom, for there are forces behind it happening. Fundamental forces, which makes it a must.

Hence why there are inherent faults with inter-univseral and inter-time travel. You utimately create an instance where matter is created and/or destroyed. The only thing that does make sense is a inter-dimentional travel where you step outside precieved dimentions in the universe as we know it, but do not alter the net balance of matter in the universe.

May 13, 2012 - I'm sorry, but the youtube would've blocked the expression, and probably the whole comment as inappropriate, so as to avoid the consequences I've intentionally "typoed"

VisCreed Says:

May 13, 2012 - Exactly.

CuriousGeorjay Says:

May 13, 2012 - Not necessarily. Life is a POSSIBLE result of all of the laws of physics (forces, QM, Relativity, etc.) being true, not a DEFINITE result. You speak as if life is required to happen. In no book has nature dictated that life must be a fact of the universe - it simply arises due to the random chance, the unpredictability of the universe. Since the development of QM, deterministic viewpoints have been abandoned. Mind you, this probability is quite low. Life takes time, and a lot of coincidences.

CuriousGeorjay Says:

May 13, 2012 - The example I gave has nothing to do with the exact processes FOLLOWING life. I was trying to illustrate that the probability of simple order can itself be EXTREMELY low, let alone life. The formation of AAs is a very rare event itself, even if you take into account the forces pushing things into place like dominoes. Once life starts, though, it grows exponentially. My point is that the initial "spark" is rare beyond measure. The apple no doubt falls - but only if it exists in the first place!

CuriousGeorjay Says:

May 13, 2012 - And lastly, if the apple exists, there is a 100% chance it will fall given the way biology happens to be structured. But the probability of an apple existing on any planet in the universe is so incredibly low that we can call our selves lucky for even being able to observe an apple. Your argument is on an Earthly scale. Mine's on a universal scale. On the scale of the earth, apples will exist. On the scale of the universe, we may be the only planet with apples. Thus, probability = very low..

AllNamesWereOccupied Says:

May 13, 2012 - Some biologists see life as the norm rather than the exception. The odds does not need to be as low as you say they are. There are hundred of billions of planets and hundred of millions of those can house life.The material needed to produce life can be found in other parts of the solar system (other than the earth), so the odds are that the earth is not the only planet.

AllNamesWereOccupied Says:

May 13, 2012 - If we would be able to rise in dimensions I highly suspect that there would be no problem to travel to another universe.

CuriousGeorjay Says:

May 14, 2012 - Check your inbox.

DoubleM55 Says:

May 14, 2012 - Interesting point, but how can we know if "traveling" between those universes is possible after all? Maybe there are other beings there, but laws of physics just don't allow interaction between different universes (or dimensions).

DoubleM55 Says:

May 14, 2012 - I think you are going too fast with your conclusions. We don't even know if (our) universe is infinite or not. And if it's infinite, than there is 100% chance that exactly the same apple exists somewhere else, and not just that, even "copy" of entire our planet and all people on it could exist on infinite different places. So it's difficult to talk about probabilities when there's so many unknown variables...

aesorn Says:

May 16, 2012 - cause there are soooo many different ones like billions, trillions or even more possibly other universes/dimensions that the ones with intelligent enough life will never find ours since most universes/dimensions are probably empty or unexplorable so what is the chance a smart enough living thing will stumble upon our universe and then find us in the vastness of space.. not ever going to happen .. most likely it wont that is:]

May 17, 2012 - Someone, please, make a three-second video clip of the guy at 1:14 saying "This...makes me feel...pretty bad."It would be unbelievably useful.

CuriousGeorjay Says:

May 18, 2012 - What you say is indeed true. But in all of the sciences including physics, we must make assumptions. IF we assume the universe is finite, then everything I said is on the right track. Of course if it's infinite then obviously everything WILL exist with infinite occurrence. What you say is obvious - what I say involves making an assumption. We observe our universe to have a 26b year span, which is finite. Could it be infinite? Yes, but we must follow observation; such is science.

May 27, 2012 - Is this Brian Greene? The elegant universe guy? He's like the spokesperson for string theory lol
