Miss Mags Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Is this the quantum pub?:) Just loving the incredibly short abstract of a short abstract I ran across: In loop quantum gravity, spacetime emerges from excitations of an ultimate vacuum. > I am wondering if this is believable, though most things at the quantum level are non-intuitive, it just sounds so hocus-pocus. Anyone here have thoughts about this? dude, no edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck kottke Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 well it sounds great, but maybe I should look some info up in Dutch so I might understand it more :p though I'm very interested in space and the universe and all it's big secrets I understand, trying to translate and think deeply would be a headache for sure! I tried that with the Old English Canterbury Tales, though it gets quite intense. Enjoy and I look forward to your analysis. ;) dude, no edge I got out of that frame of mind, a softer side sometimes is what's missing. When considering the risks a proposer of ideas faces in this world: to encourage all who would dream aloud is essential if we are to progress.

chuck kottke Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 big huray for the long wiki articles on loop quantum gravity :blank: You should rejoice with great enthusiasm for in-depth Wiki articles on this most fascinating of subjects! :bliss: Interesting how 35 turns out to be the important number, the ultimate smallest size being 10 to the -35th, though perhaps in another base, -42 could be magical!

The Doctor Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I'm trying to get it, very short in Dutch, way too long for my non-scientifical brain in English :wreck: yeah that's funny, Adams had it wrong in the end, 42 isn't the ultimate answer :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleep on it, the answers will appear in a dream. Maybe! Adams was off by a good 7 orders of magnitude, but then it was all in good fun in his universe! :laugh3: (A planet with it's tongue sticking out, now that would be quite a find.)

The Doctor Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 yeah I think I'm gonna do that :) hope it'll clear my mind yeah, well I'd love it if they would find such a planet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 My lovely 2 weeks holiday is now over :( Probably the best couple weeks I've had off for ages until yesterday when I found out something harrowing for my cousin, I fainted in the spa-room (came around just before they were going to call an ambulance) and coming home hit a pothole wrecking one of my tyres. So I am now £250 lighter for 2 new tyres (as you must replace both on the same axle). At least it's only 3 days, then the weekend, then 4 days before a nice long weekend for Easter :) And hopefully I might be given some good news in the next couple weeks *cross fingers at getting a job which ends in 'manager'* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're allright there - from the sounds of it, nothing major, I hope. Tyres, yes, they are quite expensive, though your vehicle must take some classy ones at that price! Keep looking forwards to that next vacation, and may the light of good fortune shine favorably upon you!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
