Dimensions

I love their version of "Age of Aquarius" - haven't heard much else by them.
Thanks, you just reminded me of why I thought of that song when talking about dimensions earlier

the most promising "theory of everything" at the moment is so-called "M-theory" (a collaboration of string theory and super gravity after the two schools of thought relised they were really the same...). it bascially says that particles ain't point-like after all, but really small strings that resonate at different frequencies depending on the particles. i think.

superstring theory is the one that proposes the dimensions,

If you take a piece of paper and place your finger on it. You can move your finger around. Say, you couldn't take your finger off that piece of paper.
You'd be moving around within the second dimension.

Now, if you fold the piece of paper around, so that the tips are touching each other (forming a circle), you can move your finger around (still without removing it from the paper). When you move one direction, you will eventually return to the same point (from the other direction).
You're now moving in the third dimension.

Now. you can remove your finger away from the paper in a random direction. Imagine, if you will, that you keep moving in that direction and eventually you will return to the paper at the exact point you left (also from the opposite direction).
Then you'd be moving within a fourth dimension.

Time, I-time (which is imaginary time) to be precise, doesn't move from a to b. It is.
Say you watch a video. At 12 minutes into the video someone drinks a cup of water. Even though you experience the film moving from a to b, by the time you reach 48 minutes into the video, at 12 minutes that person is still drinking that cup of water.
So, to make that less than practical, even though you're reading this today, at the same time you're still being born. You just don't experience it that way.

And that's my version of quantum gravity for you. Basically...because it's all I know about the subject.
Oh. And there's something with someone's cat. Just don't open the box...or something.

the box has nothing to do with gravity (i think) - you have a radioactive particle with a 50/50 chance of emitting radiation. you then have a radiation detector attatched to a hammer which shall fall if the detector detects radiaton. if the happer falls (okay, so maybe it does have something to do with gravity) it shall hit a bag of poisonous gas. this set up ...[text shortened]... physics should be replaced with more maths. absolute proofs, none of this observation shindig 😠
