Well the 'orbits' would be interesting. When you go from one orbit to another you expend energy, and then leap to the next orbit, no cruising inbetween. Also the orbits are not circular, they are spherical, tear drops, clusters etc and some orbits even go throught the sun and out again.

Also you have a hard time predicting where the planets are, because at quantum scales you can only predict roughly where they probably are.

A single photon has then ability to push a planet from one orbit say Venus all the way out to say Pluto... and then emit photons as they drop back down.

See, GC. I was trying to spare you that but you had to keep asking. ~;)

:bow:

Gawain, if your theory was true, then it wouldn't be very good for the human race self confidence.... ~;)

This wouldn't be much different from the multiverse model and the idea that Universes can bud off other Universes...

Re: Gawain's Original Question:

Mu. Or, in local parlance, Gah.


Pappy:

Cool beans descrip on the orbits and stuff. I spent hours in chem class trying to get a sense of it and you summed it smoothly - w/o formulae - in 2 short paragraphs. I love a good "gloss" on tough subjects.

I believe that confirms my earlier suspicion that W' was looking to produce intelligent children with you, relying on her own genes for the "looks" dept. ~;)

Thank you :bow:

Quantum physics is a bit of a mind bender.

Can anyone really know what the heck anything is?

No, but you can have a better understanding, and hence go from witch burning to CD burning.

Yes because the definition of to be is given by us too. You know that your computer exists because you've it in front of you and you're using it? There's no point in phylosophy about the existence of things, because rational beings define existence themselves. Besides with the time who knows what's going to be discovered? Perhaps, just perhaps, somebody will look at this post 1000 years from now and say woooo this is really profound and take it like phylosophy (or perhaps he/she will laugh depending on the subject ~D ).

since i didnt receive an answer, I'll just quote myself.

Of course there's a point to ontology. I mean, even after 2000 years, we're still not fully able to give a logical explanation, why do you think they will in 1000 years from now on?

Wow. How many Gigabytes can you store on your average witch, anyway? Probably depends on the size of the branding iron.

Is it possible we're all just sim machines? Sure. I think therefore I am just tells me I am, doesn't tell you much about what it is that is me. Could be a physical body and a complex electrochemical reaction, could be an extradimensional economics sim.

Of course, if there IS a larger universe we're just a molecule too, then maybe there is larger scale life out there. And maybe they're wondering if they are just a small portion of some much bigger universe as well....and maybe they are.

At which point I decide that in the end, it doesn't matter very much.

And maybe there are lesser (smaller) universes inside of us as well

Smaller universes taste like chicken.

It's a fact.

Darn!

*blows brain out*

I think the most important question is: Are electrons inhabited? Is there intelligent life out there? Or in there? Is there intelligent life at all?

only me/us

And how do you know you're right.

I would say that the only thing that is totally wrong is saying that something cannot possibly be, like I just did ~:confused: Or something like that.

Living on something which is both a particle and a wave, and can't actually be pinned to one spot just gives me a headache.

:dizzy2:

When presented with questions like this, I always think to myself.... Is there any way to know the correct answer? Nope. Is there anything I can do about it? Nope.... Then moving on. ~D

[QUOTE/Eric Idle as the "Distinguished Gentleman in Pink"]
...The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,
In all of the directions it can whiz!
As fast as it can go -- that's the speed of light, you know,
10 million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.

So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth!
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space,
'cause there's "bugger-all" down here on earth.

So, can we have your liver then?[/QUOTE]

The Earth has been destroyed, and we are just a computer simulation of Earth in a satellite around Mars...

Sorry I misssed it the first time. My answer is no. Why would it?

Why?... it wouldn't be much different from surfing...

yeah, but aren't Aussies born on surfboards?
or something like that anyway...

Yes but grand part of those 2000 years the man spent in war, and science was put aside, for what, like 1000 years, and even more social science, that's still on it's birth. I think that all will be really different in the next 1000 years, is just my belief.
