Hey Hotplay, you wanna go smoke weed with me out on my roof? ;)

Or are you about to write it??:rolleyes:

 

psh, no, i did write that. promise. ;)

 

 

 

 

 

and SURREEE Saffire.... lol.:P

Hey Hotplay, you wanna go smoke weed with me out on my roof? ;)

 

Judging by what she wrote, she already has.:P

Getting HIGHHHHHHHHHH, running wild among all the stars above!

lol I just said that because of how crazy this thread was getting... honestly I've actually never gotten high in my life!

 

Earlier tonight one of my friends offered me some weed and I didn't take him up on it. I'm a wuss, or I just wasn't feeling in the mood.

Youtube is a brilliant tool.

Much like Rick

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

I make me laff

Well we've gone from talking bout God's dodgy dice to, "Dude, did you ever like, totally, smoke some weed?"

 

Nice, 180 degree turn folks! :D

*slow 90 degree roooootaaaaation*

double post

Anyhow, this thread is PROOF POSITIVE that the infinite improbability drive is working quite well in the Heart of Gold.:laugh3:.

Back to the actual thread's topic: The answer is out still. Some predicted that randomness occurred a minute fraction of a second after the big bang, but the stop-action cameras were wayy too slow to catch it back then! But they did catch the Green Flash of the Sun, however...:P

Still searching for the restaraunt at the end of the Univverse!

Randomness is seen in: radioactive decay, dice, snow on TV, and what else?

Um, Chuck, I find all your posts interesting but, seriously, what's up with the psychedelic mash-up of colors?!

I reckon it might have something to do with LSD!!:rolleyes:

^ Why Mark, I really hope you never get to sit on a jury...

 

"Yeah, *sure* he's innocent" :rolleyes:

 

Y'see?

No LSD Mark. - cc. colors:jester: - good god Jamie, it's just to liven up this place! :P

But on topic, if ever increasing numbers of states (in the common vernacular, entropy, or disorder/chaos) is driving the universe, then how does randomness relate to this? :hat:

I think the answer will come when we see the first results of the huge particle collision device that is supposed to go online later this year.

 

But I suspect there's more to gravity than meets the eye. Also many physicists think there are more than 3 spatial dimensions in the universe, and that some of the extra dimensions we can't see are actually quite large - like approaching 1 mm. Apparently gravity has a way of trickling through these extra dimensions.

 

I'll find the article, I was reading about it earlier today. It's quite interesting.

:rolleyes:Oh, you mean the one that's going to create a black hole that will suck up the Earth, or at least Switzerland?:laugh3: Jamie, I'd stay off the planet while the lights dim when they fire up that baby.. :P

Yes, I do recall something from Sci.Am. or Public Broadcasting on it.. The article would be nice to see - yes, if you find it, I'd be interested.

Now, if only I could get the magnetron in the microwave oven to create a black hole.. hmm.. how much juice would it take to do that??:lol:

Gravity boots are made of dark matter.:P

To answer the original question:

 

No, God does not play dice with the universe. Zeus does;)

I thought that was chess!:P

Parcheesi actually:)

^ Well Chuck and Jay, you two dudes have got it all figured out.

 

Or do you...?

 

THAT is the question...

 

:thinking:

You got questions; we got answers! Maybe not correct answers, but hey, whaddaya want for free!:P .. & it seems like even "string theory" is really more like the imaginary tales of Lewis Carrol than any commonly accepted scientific theory. I personally subscribe to the "bubble theory", as it just conjures up a sudsier universe.

What's your take on the whole picture? (please, no triple integrals; just the nuts and bolts..)

Parcheesi was being played by Zeus and Athena? Didn't know that. Thanks!

Parcheesi is such a fun game! I haven't played that in years.

 

Anyway, yah, I think I prefer string theory, but it makes me wonder what strings are made of. Pure energy? I like the idea of extra spatial dimensions because it opens up the possibilities for there to be "real" ghosts, spirits, heaven/hell, etc. It's more fun to think about. ;)

:oOh no.. that's right - those strings have got to be made of something.. Hmm:thinking:.. string, string.. string cheese?:laugh3: No, let's see.. Um.. they're just pure energy. Yea, Yea, that's it! But what the heck is that then? Loops of pure energy, like a wave bent in on itself? It can only be guessed at. I had at one time thought that energy which got "captured" by a field formed a reverberating ball of energy, which then took the properties / became what we perceive to be a particle, but it was only a way of imagining what the ultimate bits are made of. Maybe we're looking at it from our perspective, which limits the view somewhat.. Trying to define the ether is a pretty "out-there" thing, and what we perceive today to be strings might actually be something else. Einstein thought light was made of particles, and his research showed that to be the case. Other scientists then thought light was a wave, and their research showed this. So, which is it? Well, it depends on the perspective, and interaction. Wavicle was the best way of putting it. So, disturbances in the dimensions of the universe may allow for the strings?

That's a possibility - after all, what are we, and how do we interact? Extra spatial dimensions could accommodate a number of possibilities; but I can live without the ghosts - too spooky for me!
