Sorry Bert I missed your last post because I was into the last reply.
I was just reading stuff on particle pairs and personally I think they need a bit of a rethink.
I get impatient that we don't know everything yet but it is amazing as you point out just how little time really we have spent upon these matters... a blink in time really.
How do you teach someone to think... I think I think and although I may draw incorrect conclusions (or correct maybe) but I certainly think about things and without being intimidated by all the smarts that say I am incorrect... I at least think about what is before me... unfortunately I am a little old now and have little learning in the areas that interest me most.
Still the net makes things somewhat accessible maybe too readily available such that one can read and read more without maybe really taking the time to digest what one has read. I always take the time and think about the proosition I am being asked to accept... I cant accept inflation for example and would think that by others going along with it that we may miss something important...
It is probably just me but there are some propositions which are seen as most acceptable that obviously no one has really thought about..they have merely nodded accepted and moved on...
I dislike string theory..because it makes seemingly unsupported statements without any scientific back up... and all I can see it does finally is set out the math to enable all the particles to be "navigated" ... in fact I am never really sure what it is that string theory is saying... it sounds as if it is the explanation of everything..but at the end of the commentary I still find little has really been said...
The Elegant Universe got me off side with the reference to the man originating it..Suskin or some name similar... being the next DrA..get your own life and fame mate .... and original ??he lifted the formula from someone else.. and to hear one of the "äctors" apparently a scientist say...We should be able to in theory (does he know the meaning of the word) communicate with other intelligent species by using a gravity wave... how far can you let something be stretched before you say enough...well we cant find a gravity wave yet... and finding one will be remote given the distances they must travel to reach us... so what does this guy suggest,,,morse code using super nova or similar major cataclysmic events... geez ..how can folk not think that wild statement thru... its waffle ..nonsense but those around nod and except this crap as if it were supported science... think a little and one could reject such as simply out of hand...
Still I have no idea about string theory I doubt that even those involved dont know and no one is game to say so for fear they will be seen as dull...
The whole thing reminds me of the Emporer with no clothes trip.
So coming up with an incorrect conclusion having thought about the facts is much better in my mind to simply accepting everything because someone else has had an original thought and you can not be bothered to try same...
But they will find HB and then everything will be set in cement... and they will find it ..it is only an adjustment of the instruments away with that sort of cash outlayed... but I wont be happy unless they get a jar full of them..a blip on a tv tells me nothing.
