NASA Vs. Einstein

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

I think that the Unified Field Theory is part of it as well, but the "Theory of Everything" is also supposed to define the laws of quantum physics, astrophysics, as well as relativity, etc, etc.

String theory then?

Post Mon Mar 29, 2004 10:04 pm

In a sense chips. The Theory of Everything is just that, if you think about it String Theory is only a fraction of it, so is Unified Field Theory.

Put it in a game form. For TToE to research we SHOULD have String, UFFT and Chaotic Matter Theory.

So, nasa are gonna write a theory that defines everything?
Is it just me or does anyone else think that this wont work?

Post Tue Mar 30, 2004 12:45 am

Ok, it is practically impossible to define a therory of everything, one, because it will explain how basic objects act, therefore explaing how and why a human being acts, therefore, allong me to find my perfect girlfriend, and thats not gonna happen is it?

two: well, im out of ideas

Its not going to work, wishful thinking, etc. etc.

its not as simple as that dark reaper

Post Tue Mar 30, 2004 3:27 am

@arania, well It's not practically impossible
Remember Einstein defined something as large as Relativity with a simple made of three letters and a number, namely E=M.c²

Something like String Theory fits really well into everything in the Universe as we see it, but it relies on these particles existing that are too small to be seen with modern technology and indeed too small to be seen with any technology, and theories without proof just aren't science. Plus some of it sounds a little dubious, like the Universe having 7 extra "rolled up" dimensions

If your gonna talk the talk....you gotta know the maths

The weird part is that relativity was alway here before Einstien labeled it a therory. We experoment when we cook with spices. Somethings work, and some don't. But with gravity, light, heat ect, they already were here. We are just trying to put a label on it and likn them togeather. Gravity is my favorite. You take some rock, dirt, water and make a ball out of it, big enough, and you get gravity. But no one knows Why there is gravity. We can not yet understand the why of a lot of things. We as humans have so much yet to learn.

Very late in the day, I realize, but NASA's blurb is disappointingly incomplete. I guess it typifies the state of things over there of late.

That 11 dimensional universe, etc., That's all about the latest trends in String Theory. The point would be that if you were to talk to some of the String Theorists, they don't see that Einstein is being debunked at all. More, it is a matter of them picking up the cause of finding Einstein's holy grail, the unified theory.
