Thanks John, now I don't feel so bad. For what it's worth, my plain-English translations of the terms you mention: _mass_ = the intrinsic [its own] resistance to being pushed of something that isn't otherwise stuck down; _energy_ = motion, particularly as measured and accounted for in scienti

Mark, let me play with your postulate (plain English) vs your text YOU wrote. To be translated into plain language: Mass, energy, space-time, even 'matter'. (The last one SOUNDS like plain English, yet not in the context we use it.) Don't take it too hard. We are used to this lingo, after the 1000t

No. I don't know of any cosmogony that postulates a massive central point. They generally assume zero mass-energy. Well, OK, put that into plain-English. I think that in doing so you have to explain why the e=m.c^2 mass-energy 'equivalence' is not a problem. You can 'assume zero mass-energy'

Brent, how is this for whimsy: what are now called black holes, and apparently quite well verified [and totally not falsified], are conceived to be regions of space time in which gravity is so strong that nothing from within can escape. Each black hole is centred upon and generated by a mass

You could be interested by a paper introducing String theory as a syntactical logical structure by the "other Schmidhuber" (Juergen's brother Christof): Here: http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0011065 What are strings made of? The possibility is discussed that strings are purely mathematical obj

Hi, It was an interesting hypothesis, When we're talking black holes we should consider them as the sources of reduction of entropy; since when something gets into a black hole we have no more information about it and so the overall information of the world decreases and the same happens to entrop

I'm thinking there's some kind of similarity between string theory and depicting the world as a big CA. In String theory we have some vibrating strings which have some kind of influence on each other and can for different matters and fields. CA can play such role of changing patterns and of course
