advanced string theory

[BoilerUp]

Do you take it as a religious belief or a scientific belief? My understanding is that string theory is a scientific topic rather then a spiritual one. It deals with trying to understand the physics behind that which we observe, rather then any spiritual dimension of life.

The way that this is involved is because it unravels the beginning of time as we know it. It proves that the plane of existence is composed of an infinite number of parallel dimensions. It proves that the big bang, or the creation of our universe, was the aftermath of two parallel dimensions colliding. At least that is how I remember the explanation of it. If this is scientific fact, then it rules out the possibility of a god creating this universe.

bleh, What The Bleep Do We Know is getting annoying, so many young impressional college kids are practically making it their religion and talking as though it's the most amazing thing that ever challenged their brain. I'm not saying I disagree with the movie, because I actually agree with most of it, but it really only scratches the surface of what I've already read in some basic quantum theory and interestingly enough, buddhism.

Wise words old man. I've sat and listened to people going on about paths and stuff and quoting this film, made me laugh. It's quite interesting but there's a whole load of stuff they missed out, and instead decided to include some annoying story with this deaf girl going on a journey or something.

Fritjof Capra apparently has a film out depicted some of his theories
called Mindwalk, wouldn't mind checking that out sometime, he is one of my favourite writers. Anyone see this?

Christianity and creation are not beliefs that are in conflict with the Big Bang. You've heard the the joke, "I believe in the Big Bang: *Bang*... God created it." Well, not only is it not that funny, but it isn't even a joke. Who is to say that an infinite God could not use an infinite number of parallel dimensions outside of space and time as we know it to create a collision resulting in creation?

There are *a lot* of Christians that believe the "7 days" of creation in Genesis actually represent much longer periods of time. In fact, the zealots will never remind you of this, but if you look up the Hebrew word for "day" in the Genesis account you will find it can actually mean any length of time.

Most astrologers (Christian and non-Chrisitan) today believe in the Big Bang. That is a fact. It is not at odds with Christianity in any way, shape or form.

String theory is pretty much philosophy imho as it's almost unfalsifiable - we are unlikely to be able to prove it either way for the forseeable future.

In a way I somewhat agree, because most people do believe in a big bang of sorts, but there are those who do take the word very literally.

The problem that non-believers have with words of god, is that the story is always changing yet the book remains the same. It says God created the heavens and the stars, but when someone says "Alternate dimensions collided, creating this big bang"... the Bible doesn't say that happened. The Bible also didn't say that it *didn't* happen, So people will fill in with "Maybe God did it that way". I'm not saying there's no God, but I AM saying that Biblical texts are no more proof than mere observation.

I meant they took it as a belief system of infinite possibilities. You can't truly predict anything, because we can't prove that we are in a universe where it doesn't change. Therefore anything could happen after death. Anything can happen in life.

At least that is the way i took it.

WayOfTheLeaf, did you take your username from the Wheel Of Time book The Eye Of The World? If so that's awsome! I'm reading it myself right now.

[wayoftheleaf]

i took it from the entire series my friend i love it. read all eleven books on the upper half of ten times. Reading the first one again right now.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Entire series eh? So the leaf people are coming back, that's interesting. I'm only just near the end of the first book for the first time. Seems I discovered the series late. Please don't tell me anything though!

[wayoftheleaf]

lol i won't. I swear to god if robert jordan dies from the blood disease he has before finishing the last book i will do something insane. I have no idea what. But it will prolly be on television and make you go wtf.

The last book he said he didn't care if it was 2000-6000 pages and you had to carry it in a wheelbarrow, he is only writing one more.
