I've recently developed a taste for lectures and programs about string theory. The concept of an 11 dimensional universe is impossible for me to wrap my head around.It's really exciting to live in a time when our science and science fiction seem to be becoming one and the same.
I think my siggy is haunted.

While googling for the scientist's name (I didn't catch it in the vid), I ran into this link:

Quite interesting stuff, actually.

Michio Kaku. I think he hosts science shows on the Science channel on Friday nights in the States.MGM wrote:While googling for the scientist's name (I didn't catch it in the vid), I ran into this link:

In high school I bought some Stephen Hawking books for one of the cafeteria ladies (for Christmas). She was smarter and more inquisitive than most of the teachers at school and she made a crummy cheeseburger. ^_^

I don't know if you guys know this about Stephen Hawking or not, but one of his more interesting theories is that he BELIEVES in extra-terrestrial life, and that we should STOP broadcasting all sorts of signals into the cosmos. Eventually, a more evolved and malignant species may locate us. We're best to "Lay low". LOL.
We're screwed.

I don't even like scientific implications. Science is silly to me because, I mean, yes, it's practical and one of the most important things EVER, but it's just measurements and observations on what we see. And what we see is probably not what it is. So in essence, science is philosophy with actual proof but the proof could be fake proof.
Science is fools gold for smart people.
I suck with words right now!

You guys should check out Journey to the Edge of the Universe. It's a very cool documentary with some amazing graphics and information.
I think this link only works if you're in Canada CTV.ca is picky about outsiders.
