Are we closer to a Theory of Everything?

One thing I'm curious about is whether this supports the idea that the total, unbounded but finite universe should be about 2x10^23 times the size of the observable universe. It seems a little vague, but the main point of Hawking's Facebook post seems to be possible confirmation of primordial gravitational waves. In any case, if we can finally tie gravity into quantum field theory... Well, what next?

Well, what next?

We're going to disneyland.

We're going to disneyland.

When we figure out how to get to other solar systems in a reasonable amount of time, consistent with relativity and the as yet undiscovered laws of quantum gravity, and then actually travel there, then we're going to Disneyland. Right now we're still inventing the wheel to put on the wagon that will be powered by the engine we'll eventually invent to take us to Disneyland.

 

[Deceptive]

Can we make the wheel 30" and make the wagon look like a Caprice or Crown Vic?

Even if we had a viable option or idea on how with regards to propulsion, the public would be years behind in knowing. Abandoning the space program in the public's eyes would be a good cover. Although I truly believe we have no idea that it remotely viable.

Does this mean the iPhone 7 will be smaller?

We are generations from this happenning. I would bet the human race destroys or almost destroys itself because " my god is better than your god" before we come together to explore the universe.

I do have a theory of everything.

And I tested it rigorously.

It's wrong.

Should have talked to Jim Snover first

 

[James Snover]

This would come up when I've been stoned out of my head the last three days on cough syrup.

oldmodman: your Theory Of Everything is basically sound; you just need a way to tie it to some hot lesbians and I'm pretty sure you would have the Nobel prize in the bag.

Snover's where it's at! LOL!

Whatchu talking about Willis?

High school chem screwed me up since all I can think of is a parody of the mole song, "the universe is a number, have you heard, 2 times 10 to the 23rd. That's a 2 with 23 zeros at the end, much too big a number to comprehend."

That being said, I'll be interested to see what comes of this.

Feel better, then let us know what you think...

How did life come from non-living matter though?

If you have time to read, this wiki is a pretty good summary of the different theories.

Oh no...you did not just go there did you? Yep...you just went there.

This has just turned into another one of "those" threads.

bro, we all evolved from bacteria that grew in a hot spring or ocean vent. everybody knows that.

 

[DHG1078]

I assumed he meant other than the obligatory religious options. I threw out an alternative.

But how did that bacteria come to be. That is what my link talks about.

 

[MissionMan]

science bro. lightning struck and bam....bacteria. then the bacteria was like....hey, lets evolve. Ill be a lizard bro, you be a bro, bro. Then another bacteria said, ill be a donkey bro.
