I think the universe is so damn peculiar and surreal, "it" manifested into what we call life just to play around with itself in a limited way. Because some action on a tiny spec of space is better than nothing. Or it could be eternal, there could be infinite universes, we'll never know what's really going on.

Kineth 11/02/17 9:32:52 AM #70:	JE19426 posted... FrozenXylophone posted... why would the universe have destroyed itself? Until the current theory, at the start the universe there was a 1:1 ratio of matter:anti-matter. When matter and anti-matter comes into contact they convert each other to pure energy so no matter exists. Interesting. Seems like it would stand to reason that matter and anti matter wouldn't have formed immediately from the energy explosion so that there would be enough time and distance for them to not be in close trajectories or proximities. Then again, there's also the possibility that we just underestimated the amount of energy that was present in the big bang and that this theory is valid. There's also the possibility that we just don't fully understand matter/anti-matter interactions. --- If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me.

CircleOfManias 11/02/17 9:34:12 AM #71:	JE19426 posted... WindMouseHanpan posted... No one, just making it more obvious how ridiculous their claim is. Saying the universe should not exist, when you don't even fully understand everything about the universe to begin with, is silly. It's like saying "plants should not exist" just because we've never observed them eating something to stay alive (carnivorous plants aside), before we learned that they absorb nutrients from the ground and make energy through photosynthesis. We don't fully understand everything about dark matter, the universe, etc, so it's quite a leap to say it "shouldn't exist" when we don't actually know everything about what makes it tick to begin with. There is some element or property out there, probably many, that we have yet to discover, which would shed more light on things. So what your saying is that you never read the scientists statement. The media does this shit all the time. Oversimplifying a statement and taking it out of context to make it sound outrageous for clicks. The thing that was actually found is that the reason for the universe's existence is not related to some fundamental difference in the absolute values of the charges of particles and antiparticles. --- Sick liaisons raise this monumental mark The sun sets forever over Blackwater Park <cite>CircleOfManias posted [p:889613384] in "The ...

MIKE MCRAE 29 SEP 2017 Questions of whether our reality is a simulation of something deeper have kept philosophers and freshmen awake since Plato was a pup. A pair of physicists sleep a lot easier at night now that they've shown that quantum weirdness involving twists in space-time can't conceivably be simulated, adding to a list of problems that The Matrix would have no answer for. Sorry Neo. Theoretical physicists Zohar Ringel and Dmitry Kovrizhin from the University of Oxford and the Hebrew University in Israel found a solid road-block to solving algorithms involving quantum-based Monte Carlo simulations. The short version is, it basically means we can't model the physics we know of on even the biggest computer imaginable. You're not in a simulation. Probably not, at least. Still with us? Ok, come on down. Monte Carlo simulations are computations based on random samples of a system. They're not particular to quantum physics, but they are useful for turning the fuzzy world of maybes into something a bit more predictable. For the most part they can help make short work of certain many-body problems systems involving multiple quantum objects moving about through various dimensions. Quantum Monte Carlo simulations are by no means perfect, though. A certain cancelling out of positives and negatives can arise, something referred to as a sign problem. Sign-free representation would help get around it, but the way to do this for a lot of physics problems remains unclear. In fact, for some it might be downright impossible. --- http://youtu.be/q2gO4DKVpa8 http://DemocraticUnderground.com/?com=latest_threads TrumpNews http://reddit.com/r/esist/new http://reddit.com/r/EnoughTrumpSpam/new <cite>Notti posted [p:890358343] in "The ...
