Just saw a long documentary about string theory.Wicked stuff, a must check out.Program was based on a book called the elegant univers.

Im trying to think of an angle for a short explenation,but there isnt 1:lol:

Stuff like 11 dimentions and quantum stuff and much more.
 
saw some program aobut it a while ago, ppl have many different ideas...some scientists talked
about the 25th dimension or something lol will be a looong time though, if ever, before
we get an answer i suppose :)
 
best bit about string theory is they cant prove its right :lol:, relies on concepts that would make mathemtical sense but cant actually be proven.


Was reading about quantum knots at Uni the other day, similar (ish) kind of idea, an amazing theory but relies heavily on physical properties of electrons that we have no way to prove, as of yet. The potential in computing for quantum knots is really unbelievable though, not to mention in about 1 miliion other fields id well recommend googling it, or looking in last months New Scientist its a very interesting read.

Imagine if something as powerful as this was harnessed in our lifetime, would be fucking awesome, such an exciting time to be living in and most of the people on the planet dont even realise it. :mic:
 
p.s. If foxy is banned from this forum id unban him cos he could probably batter on about string theory for a good few pages, feckin physics n3rd :D

Would be something interesting in here instead of u lot bitch slapping about right and left wing politics :mad:

no i think well keep him out:lol:
 
What books are worth reading about stuff like this but not necessarily this? (interesting not complicated :P)
