Apparently We're Holograms

[irishlaw77]

All the words make sense in this article, but the concepts are way over my head still. Anybody have sufficient physics skills to understand/explain what this guy is talking about?

I put this with string theory. No matter how much I read about string theory it doesn't make sense. Maybe it's physicists joking around in the locker room.

Where's EastonPA at when we need him???

 

[ACamp1900]

here's my formula...

1.) Los of degrees + free time - physical contact with oposite sex= Y

Y= embitterment

2.) excessive grants from those who don't know what they are actually funding+ Y= X

X= string theory and falling flat the fuck on your face through some made up galatic rabbit hole.




Acamp+X= groundbreaking research

where's the honorary degree mothaf*&a!!!!!!????

where's the honorary degree mothaf*&a!!!!!!????

One of the world's greatest mysteries, to be sure.

More on the subject.


And here is "string theory summarized".

I liked your string theory summarized the most.

Michio Kaku - My favorite Theoretical Physicist (yes, I have a fav theoretical physicist, lol) He is on the History Channel alot, and has a lot crazy things to say. Check him out for more string theory. I do enjoy listening to him and what he has to say.

If you check him out, it would help to have an open mind, but I think he's great.

I say we get the boys in the labs at ND working on this. Send a receiver in an invisibility cylinder on a post pattern. Oh, and make sure the receiver has contacts (that cover his eyes completely) that match the color of the turf to solve the "floating eyes" problem.

Maybe Bill Nye the Science guy could come up with a way for our QB, and no one else, to know where that receiver was ...

I don't want to be a hologram.

M theory is even crazier. Parallel universes!!!!! Oooohhh

This guy and that black guy are on all the space shows.

I like this guy as well--he's able to communicate ideas pretty well. Here's an interesting way of visualizing 10 dimensions from another guy that is pretty good:

Yeah tha "black guy" as he is refferred to is on the Daily Show a lot. Once i get started watching discovery i can't stop. There is just so much trippy stuff on their and they sell it well.

I cant remember his first name, but his last name is something like de la rossa or something like that. I believe he is from New York. He is good too, but I think Michio is the man.

If you smoked the shit I did, EVERYONE would feel like they were a hologram. I have always thought I was a hologram

I think the very people who come up with this stuff DO smoke the very stuff you do.... that's why they come up with it...

Good point. lol
