I heard about that yesterday when I was flipping through the channels. It was on AotS, and they dumbed it down a lot and it got downplayed pretty quickly. That show's gone downhill since Olivia left, and now even more so with the loss of Kevin. On topic; quantum mechanics is not theoretical physics. In no way will an understanding of quarks and leptons help with understanding black holes (well, maybe, but it won't help explain how they happen).
I saw something about that. Honestly I was hoping that the discovery would have come last year when everyone thought the LHC was going to open a black hole, but if any significant discovery of the "God Particle" happens this year of all years, then... lol
Hopefully we don't screw this up and destroy all the Higgs bosons everywhere somehow, therefore leaving particles without mass, therefore we will all die. kbai 2012
If the find is valid and they do find a "Higgs Field" generating particle, next up is the graviton. The elusive bastard.
Forgot about graviton. Hopefully if we do find it, we don't create a super strong gravitational field that makes the whole planet collapse under pressure. Graviton however, would be more useful IMO as we are one step closer to creating artificial gravity in spacecrafts.
Hey, I just finished my GCSE's so I probably know hardly anything but from what I can gather, most of your ideas on time dimensions are incorrect, this jeopardizes your time-space theory. You see, from what you suggested there are multiple time 'dimensions' unfortunately due to quantum theory this isn't possible, see the first dimension as you explained is correct, time is a constant, or a one directional plain. But unfortunately there cannot be further dimensions as you explained because you cannot observe them when you are in the time plain. due to 'Quantum entanglement' One of the theories on quantum entanglement is that in every cell or event or stimulus (any individual thing) there are multiple outcomes of that individual, or parallels coexisting together, but as soon as you observe this individual all the other outcomes are eliminated from existance and only the true outcome remains. Because this is how the brain perceives it. Why would it matter if the brain perceives it or not? It could still exist? Unfortunately this isn't possible with dimensions. A dimension is when two different lines or events overlap and this is perceived as a new shape. Therefore a dimension is simply a perception. Suggesting there is multiple dimensions in time is saying that there has been a change in the constant and that a new version of the universe has been created. (so one time plain would be the original events and the other would be the new universe with all the changes) So in short, there cannot be multiple time plains or outcomes because as soon as you were to observe the new time plain it would cease to exist, eliminated. Only leaving the true outcome, our time plain. A dimension is a perception, if it cannot be observed it is not a dimension. Hope that wasn't too confusing guys. EDIT: Also as said, this isn't quantum physics, it's just theoretical physics with ties to some quantum theories on dimensions.
