If this doesen’t get you thinking, nothing will.
Seen it before.
Amazing how patterns can perpetuate like that.
Holy shit.
I am wondering though…If the soul really is an entity that is apart, maybe it can propagate through the 10th dimension so you can will yourself to be anyone and anything. If youd bring your entire body, it could change universes and you d continue aging…but a mind is not such a thing.
so basically…you’d become a God.
I hate physics! Ill stick to hitting women with cubs and lifting heavy ass weight!! YA BABBY!!
Interesting. I don’t have enough time to watch it all now, but it’s pretty interesting what I’ve seen so far.
I had to watch it a few times to really wrap my head around it, but the people who came up with this concept must be downright fucking brilliant.
Jesus, that was pretty cool.
I’m a physics dude and if there’s one thing I learned by dealing with all this stuff, it’s that we don’t have a CLUE about the full nature of the universe, and the amount we know is FAR more than what we do know.
This is what gets me though about some people in the world. There is this kinda of thought out there, all highlighting all the ‘unknown’ things around us, that most of the world lives their whole life not knowing about or thinking about…all this stuff we can’t wrap our heads around, yet there are still folks out there that can say 100% that there is no God.
thanks for the link.

I can’t even begin to think about how much more complicated it actually is…that video wasn’t too hard to grasp, but I can only guess as how “dumbed down” it is.
And the people that thought it all up? Fucking geniuses. While I can say I understand the video easily enough, I wouldn’t have been able to cook even that up all by myself. Some of the more technical stuff (that these people understand/work with) loses me within seconds.
I wonder if String Theory pushes us up to our limits of what we can understand as humans. I don’t think humans have the capacity to understand everything about how the universe works…String Theory tries to explain the entire fabric of it.
I sometimes think physicist are biting off more than they can chew when they delve into this area of study, but it’s still worth looking at. However, it may never amount to anything…other than a bunch of interesting ideas.

Very true…I mean, as that video shows, the best we can do to THINK about the concepts are to collapse them down into things we can fathom…and for all the ‘brains’ we as a species have, we’re not hard-wired for this kind of thought.
Now, it’s true that mathematically you don’t NEED to be able to visualize or represent the ideas discussed (the math takes care of that) but really, it does reach a point of diminishing returns where we can’t KNOW what we don’t know.
But I just DIG those sorts of discussions - I first read about that stuff BEFORE flash videos and a lot of internet stuff, so I guess it fills in blanks for me.
This would mean a lot more to me if I was stoned.
My dimensions go to 11.

We have anthropic bias as human beings, we can’t absolutely discredit anything.
Science is based on what we CAN observe. Which is limited. (but useful)
Hence my agnosticism.

I was hoping someone would say this
10D is a useful abstraction but of little practicality since we can’t experience outside of 4D.
Let me introduce you to your intro quantum TA for this semester.

Too bad she quotes Brian Green.
wtf

11 points for making an ironic cultural reference.

Short on content, but I will excuse it because she is freaking hot.
Although, calling herself “Girl Einstein” is a turnoff.

150 years ago we didnt know that germs are the cause of infection and people thought God was cursing people for their sins. As science progresses it provides answers to questions once not understood.
That is what science is, an exploration of the natural world around us. Why does a complicated situation require a God or a creator to explain it? And further, why would a God design a universe so complicated? Just for us to figure it out?
Complexity is not evidence for creation or a creator.
Not to mention science has proven many things in the books supposedly written by God to be factual incorrect. But thats a WHOLE nother thread… Sorry for the hijack.
Also, it should be noted, that while string theory does have the word “theory” in it, it is, in actuality, NOT an accepted Scientific Theory… Really more of a novel idea at this point.
A rather unfortunate use of the word since it waters it down and causes lay people to think that a “theory” is just an idea or a thought, when in science a “Theory” is actually a very powerful concept.
The video was, just like string theory, an interesting concept… But I’m not holding my breath for the math to come in any time soon. I will be the first to sign on to the theory when the math, experimentation, and replication DOES come in, but until then its simply a hypothesis.
