Brent I don't see dark bands as mathematically possible since these regions have 100% destructive interference. AGThey have destructive interference in a universe that satisfies quantum mechanics. How do you know there isn't a universe that satisfies Newtonian mechanics? or Harry Potter mechanics? Or Aristotelian mechanics? BrentSo now you're saying that everything *conceivable* is possible. But isn't that what you criticized Jason for? AG
Yes, I did. And above I'm criticizing you for not recognizing the difference between nomologically impossible in this universe under the physics as we understand it, and Tegmark's everything mathematically consistent happens in some universe.
