What are the top five unanswered questions concerning cosmology that you can think of?
1 - What came before the big bang?
2 - Is it possible to unite Relativity to Q theory?
3 - Are the basic units of energy strings?
4 - If strings then how will we ever know anything?
5 - Can anyone think of ways to test at Planck level Q states?
6 - If "reality" is composed of manifold universes, can information pass between them?
7 - If information can pass between manifolds what is the mechanism and content?
8 - Whatever happened to Mr. Bean?
9 - Is Benny Hill alive?
10 - Did the wife in "Butterflys" ever get laid by that creepy businessman?
Please comment or debate or add to the list. This is pretty much a wow kind of thread. Anything Cosmic is fair game. Except fair games. Those belong in the sports thread.
Oh yea. I forgot. Hmmm.... we need something controversial that will cause bad feelings so that people won't complain about this thread being here.
I say anybody who doesn't understand QED and tensor analysis is a sissy! So there...

I'll answer the first item on the list, because it is the easiest.
The answer IS.... (DRUM ROLL)
The Big Make Out!
ta dum!
I just got pm's that that is not nice. Ok. The new answer is "The Big Grope"! errr.... maybe the big "nice dinner and wine". (this is getting worser and worser... ain't it?)

4 8 15 16 23 42
How about number two then. Anybody???
NO? No? well... the answer is
"Yes. But if you go the speed of light you will come unstuck from the Planck level and explode into a Quark! And that's a quirk of nature that is quark dependent on relatively small energies. Up, Down and Color, none are so Charmed as the lucky bugger from Planck land!"
Number 5 is a trick question. Give Up?
There is a way to do it. But is you do it, you will cease to exist, so be careful!
Unless you are a commie. Then send in for a free instruction booklet and I'm sure you will enjoy line 38-b where it says... "Now, grasp the raw end of the fifty thousand volt transmission line and repeating the dialectic of your choice, and without thinking (which should feel natural) throw the switch."
