My theory

[Gumby]

I think the only think superstring theory misses is on a purpose... they don't involve magnatism with it, inwhich magnatism shows reason for evolution. And gravity is related to magnatism but not the same as.

I don't think any theory proposed by physics will ever offer a purpose, only how.

And superstring theory doesn't have anything to do with magnetism, gravity or any other law of attraction. I was just saying that gravity, in a way, is electromagnetism.

All string theory does is attempt to make sense of the fact that even though both quantum mechanics and general relativity make sense on their own, they cannot coexist without something bridging the gap. Hence the apparent discovery of strings and extra spatial dimensions.

It's really fascinating stuff. I recommend "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene if you really want to delve into it.

One really cool thing I learned is about the origin of the universe, that at the moment right before "the big bang," all of the universe, everything in existence, compacted into a tiny mass, about one billionth of a trillionth (if I remember correctly) the size of an atom and then just exploded to create everything we know today.

everyone is the center of their own universe. someone can exist in my universe without existing in yours.

the world revolves around me... but it revolves around you, too.

I've seen a documentary called 'the elegant universe' and it talked about string theory. I agree it's a great thing to learn about and so abstract that it's hard to understand at some points. But I was wondering if there is a book by the same title too. Was that what you were talking about?

And you're mostly right about all of matter in that small of an area, but there was no time 'right before the big bang'. there was nothing, and with nothing you can't have a small object with a ton of mass. The idea of a big bang means that in an instant there was such a major amount of energy released that it started creating matter. Hense E=mc2... if you think of all the mass (m) in our universe and multiply it by the speed of light (c) squared... you get a big mother fucking number... and that is what was at the moment of the big bang.

The really cool thing i learned about it is that we are still able to measure radiation from that explosion today.

I don't mean to sound like I know everything about space, I'm just a dork that gets high and likes to think about that shit. But I do hope that this thread keeps going because I always love learning about new theories and hearing new ideas.

Oh ya and I've heard there are theories now that try to explain multiple big bangs, and that they are constantly creating new universes. That's some crazy shit.

[mellow mood]

well you cant admit all exist until you prove it doesnt, because you cant really prove it doesnt. so all is existing and at the same time all is nothing. we are all and nothing at the same time.

if a tree fall in a forest where no one can hear it, does it make a sound?
