theory of everything

The more we learn, the more it explodes. Maybe we should try a different approach.

the only goal and reason for humanity is to advance enough to go out into Space !! The other aliens have visited here for thousands of years..to guide us to that end. And/or..be able to travel into all the other dimensions that we have. There are 11

There haven't been new explosives discovered as a result of any discovery since nuclear fusion. I think there is little risk of a more powerful weapon being developed as a result of fundamental physics research. In any case the most powerful hydrogen bomb detonated was the 50 megaton RDS-220 aka Tsar Bomba. The fireball had a radius of about 4km, all buildings were destroyed in the village of Severny 55 km from the hemicentre, window panes were broken up to a distance of 900 km. There really isn't much point in having a weapon with a larger yield than this. So I don't think new knowledge will explode.

I don't think he was using 'explode' in the literal sense. Not sure WHAT he meant however.

So I felt free to interpret his post as I saw fit.

Would you like to Elaborate?
We can define as many dimensions as we want to (look at the more extreme variations of the string theory)...but waht other (spatial) Dimension beyond our three can you Access by which means?

Good luck on that one🙂

Let's see, if we shrunk ourselves down to Planck length size, maybe we can just step into those other dimensions......

What different approach? To not learn?

Maybe (correct me if I am wrong, Apathist) you are saying we should not stick our heads where it doesn't belong? Some knowledge too dangerous for mankind to know?

How do we know where our heads don't belong?

I think he is implying that whenever we go one step deeper, we find 10 more steps...a never ending staircase of knowledge. Something like division as a scientific approach will always ultimately fail to accurately describe the system...maybe that is what he is saying.

Can you define what 'it' is in that sentence? Does it for instance, mean the more we learn the more we realize we have a lot more to learn, therefore an infinite series of learning we would need to understand the universe or some such?

In lieu of common sense, experimentation.

This seems to be true. The more we know, the more we realize how much we don't know. This may explain why most of the really brilliant minds are also the most humble.

A different approach? Maybe, but I don't know what that entails.

We have to ASSUME that is what he meant. He seems to state his POV and then disappear, never to be heard of in the thread again.
