Reading Ideas

We as human beings live on our home planet earth in the Milky Way galaxy in the vertigo cluster of galaxies in the ever-expanding universe. The universe is described as all matter and energy, including the earth, the galaxies, and the contents of intergalactic space, regarded as a whole. The universe was supposedly given birth by the big bang, but before the big bang what was there nothing. What is nothing according to the dictionary it is the absence of all matter. When you visualize this in your head to most complete darkness will appear, that is our interpretation of nothing but pure darkness is still something. The word nothing in reality does not exist because no matter how you visualize the word it is always something. Ask yourself now has anyone in the history of the human race ever truly seen nothing. Like religion, it just something used to cover up our absence of knowledge in that certain field. No one truly knows what’s outside our universe for all we know we could live in the imagination of some other being, or in a highly advanced computer program (The Matrix). However, no matter what we do or how far we progress in technology we will truly never know. String theory and other theories will not answer this either, you ask why? The reason being how can we say a system of math and equations upon equations that we created govern this universe.
Who are we to say this is how the universe works and these equations will answer all the questions of the universe, they don't. The people who believe this are idiots, they can't just agree that things are the way they are because if they weren't we wouldn't be here to talk about it. After all the time we spend, talking about where and why we live it all comes down to the same thing why? If a man came up to you and he said he would tell everything there is to know about the universe all the answers to every question about where and why we live would you want to know? At first you say sure why not but then after awhile you think if I were to know everything what truly would propel me forward. So next time you look up at the night sky ask yourself what is it we live in and let your mind dive into thought.

Well, asking about "before" the big bang is kinda funny, because if big bang theory is right, then when you trace time backwards, the singularity of the big-bang would stretch time indefinitly so you could never go on beyond "time 0".

As to nothing, the space between atoms is nothing, except for some quantum bubbles, but they don't fill up everything.

Well, the "the universe is how it is because in any other universe we couldn't exist to ask why it is the way it is" thing can be shown quite nicely when you ask yourself "Why is it that we live in a 3-dimensional world". In a 2-dimensional world, nothing complex could survive, because in order to survive it needs to consume matter, and it would have to have some kind of digestive tract, which obviously goes through the body and would split the "being" into 2 parts, which makes it reeeeally difficult to survive. And in a 4-dimensional world, the attraction between atoms would be to strong sop we would all explode in a nice flash of light. Sure, there could be exceptions we can't (or maybe can) think of, but they are usually very unrealistic.

And well, nobody says that those theories are "The one final theory describing everything", they are just the most probable description of the universe we can come up with untill now.
Like, newtons physics wasn't "wrong", they are part of the theory of relativity when you act at slow speeds, but the theory of relativity describes many things and results better than newtons physics could ever do.
So you can't say that those people are idiots, maybe they don't know everything or just a part of the true thing, but their theories describe our universe quite well.

When you want to solve 3rd grade equations, you come to a place where you have to take the square-root of -1, which obviously doesn't exist. so some mathematician just said "Well, square-root of -1 is 'i'"
and obviously, nobody has an idea what i exactly is, you cant' have i metres or something the like. but when you calculate on with i, you come to a solution without 'i' in it that fits the equation.
so it works. you get the correct result. so why should you care about not knowing exactly what 'i' is, as long as it works.
what I wnat to point out.. it doesn't matter if those scientists are right or wrong or idiots, as long as their methods work, you have to think practically.
People once thought the world was flat, and it didn't change anything to them, because they wouldn't benefit from thinking it is round. the people bakc then that insisted on it being round were called idiots/psychos or whatever else. today many people couldn't live with thinkieng that the world is flat.
So, imagine in 100 years we have something in our everyday lives that just works when you accept string theory. nobody would call the phycicists idiots anymore.
but well today you can call them idiots, because it doesn't make a difference, practically spoken.

just my 2 cents.

"The wise have always said the same things, and fools have always done the opposite"-Schopenhauer

I really like what your saying and in some ways I agree with you, but ask yourself this how can we as humans believe that a system of math which we created abides to the universe. Did we create the universe? How do we even know if the number five is really, what we make it out to be? A great example is the theory of the perfect number in nature; although I don't know much about it supposedly if you were to use this equation in any circumstance in nature, it will always work out to this one number (the perfect number). An example would be to plug in the number of seeds in a sunflower or heartbeats per minute in a pigeon and the answer will always be the same number. This obviously is all false in fact its just a equation that has a anomaly where no matter what number is put in it will always come up the same. A scientist just made an equation in which this possible. Therefore, we do the same thing to answer the questions of the universe. For instance, Einstein's theory of special relativity was ground breaking at the time it explained how exactly or universe worked. The problem is the equations explained the universe at a large scale as being smooth and flat perfect, almost harmonious but then when the universe was looked at a subatomic level using his theory it was seen as chaotic a lawless environment just the complete polar opposite of the universe at a large scale. The reason is Einstein's equations in special relativity were not done correctly do conjoin the universe at a large and small scale at the same time. Soon after a man by the name Brian Greene brought the idea of string theory where it supposedly fix this problem, now in reality all they did was go back until the equations fixed this severe issue. The funny thing is in the documentary shown on PBS about sting theory they actually show a scientist erasing Einstein’s equations and just writing new ones until it all worked out. This is what I mean, how can we believe in something that is just fabricated to work. My professor used the example it would be as if I couldn't finish a puzzle because ten or so pieces were missing so I made pieces to fit which in turn completed the puzzle, get the idea. I really get your point but it’s just so obvious that it’s all bull. Like you said in a couple of years another lead scientist well come out with an equation that brings the universe both at a large and small scale harmoniously together but cancels out the controversial topic of 16 dimensions that is brought about in string theory. The process will essentially go on and on never ending until we all realize the stupidity in this and until that time, there will never be a true ideal nirvana.

When you want to solve 3rd grade equations, you come to a place where you have to take the square-root of -1, which obviously doesn't exist. so some mathematician just said "Well, square-root of -1 is 'i'"
and obviously, nobody has an idea what i exactly is, you cant' have i metres or something the like. but when you calculate on with i, you come to a solution without 'i' in it that fits the equation.
so it works. you get the correct result. so why should you care about not knowing exactly what 'i' is, as long as it works.

there is more magic to it.

e^(i*pi) = 1

I really like what your saying and in some ways I agree with you, but ask yourself this how can we as humans believe that a system of math which we created abides to the universe.

everything started with Pitagoras in greece, where they discovered that math equations reflect the laws of the world. you should read about Kant, Descartes and other philosophers. they wondered what is the true source of knowledge.

some thought that experience is the only way to learn the world. others thought that logical thinking is the way to go.
the more reasonable came to conclusion that the very basics of mathematics are reflections of real world fenomena, and as long as you follow the math logic the laws you derive in maths will apply to the world.

but it differs with every philosopher.

Einstein's theory of special relativity was ground breaking at the time it explained how exactly or universe worked. The problem is the equations explained the universe at a large scale as being smooth and flat perfect, almost harmonious but then when the universe was looked at a subatomic level using his theory it was seen as chaotic a lawless environment just the complete polar opposite of the universe at a large scale. The reason is Einstein's equations in special relativity were not done correctly do conjoin the universe at a large and small scale at the same time.

NOT true. einstein simply couldn't accept that the world is ruled by random factor.

e.g. take the radioactivity - it happens when e.g. uranium atoms decays into smaller ones, emiting some particles in the process. the law of expotential decay states that every radioactive substance, like uranium, has a certain half-life period. after that period 50% of the uranium will decompose and emit radiation. no matter how much you take, always 50% will be gone after half-life period.

but this law does not tell you WHICH atoms will decay. it just says that the half of them will decay after that time.

I really get your point but it’s just so obvious that it’s all bull. Like you said in a couple of years another lead scientist well come out with an equation that brings the universe both at a large and small scale harmoniously together but cancels out the controversial topic of 16 dimensions that is brought about in string theory.

the problem of our science is like this -

maths is a purely theoretical construction, that fits reality numerous times.

physics is a rounded-up maths that fits reality even more.

take for example a formula for adding speeds. classic physics say that V = V1 + V2 , but theory of relativity says something like that:
V = (V1+V2)/(1+V1V2/c^2) so that c+c = c (c = light speed) and you cannot go faster than light.

the first formula is just a rounded-up version of the second, since with low speeds V1V2/c^2 is close to 0. that's common in physics. also the more complex theory, the more round-ups that you get (since the formulas get easier to compute). that's probably where the mysteries start to appear.

also take note that physics may be lacking certain scientific instruments to describe the new things that is discovers today. maybe that's why we have strings, multiple dimensions etc.
