Re: Before Big Bang What?

What utter piffle. Your statement about 1 + 1 is ridiculous. The number .9... endlessly repeating is equal to 1. Why? well write this as x = .9 + .09 + .009 + .0009 + ... and then x = .9 + .1( .9 + .09 + .009 + .0009 + ...) = .9 + .1x so then .9x = .9 > x = 1 Don't you have anything

Re: Before Big Bang What?

You must be true to yourself, and if you are bored shitless, with such speculation of application of the physics we know, so be it! The Hugh Everett thing is so fascinating in itself, that it basically, if there ever a scintilla of evidence, this would itself change civilization and religion

Re: Before Big Bang What?

Understood, LC, but even statistically this'd be a one-off even, maybe 13.7 billion years ago. An event that occurred after trillions or quadrillions of relative terms. Yes, you've cast your physics pearls before this swine, and so be it. So, I will scratch off the BB.  Now if the Smolin

Re: The Supreme Court and the Electoral College

The LHC is back

After being off-line for several years to be upgraded the LHC is back and started doing science today. The protons in its beam are at 13.6 trillion electron volts, only a modest increase over what it was before but the proton density will be 20 times what it was when it discovered the Higgs and

Re: Before Big Bang What?

No Boltzmann brains (BBs). The instability of the de Sitter (dS) vacuum makes the probability for BBs very small. The problem with the BB is that if they exist we may not know whether we are BBs, or that I am a BB and all other people are phantasms of my mind. The problem is that if the dS
