Me and GDID are cybering.
that Hawking show tonight
all sounded like fluffy wank, like they just invent these grand 'theories of everything'they have fuck all evidence for because it might just explain one confusing aspect they don't know enough about.
I mean I know fuck all about this shit but they were going on about how the asymmetrical weak nature of gravity compared to the other forces could be explained by string theory and extra dimensions it travels through, but that only brings up the question as to why it would travel in these dimensions whilst the other forces don't?
And once they've explained how the the big bang they still have to explain why or how the sutff that lost it's symmetry came about.

last man standing was a good show last night, im sure you learnt a few tricks from the zulus conor
haha I saw a bit, that show bores me though
dudes get a weeks to train at some shit they've never done, then get their arses kicked, seems pointless!
Actually it seems it was his nurses who said Hawking had been abused by his 2nd wife while Hawking himself publicly denied he'd been abused. Meh
cnn
so apparently I was talking shit and it didn't go to court

oh fuck whatever as if you have a fuckin baldy about anything like this, jesus
i still haven't a clue what string theory is and I did read a couple of articles a few years ago so i should be an expert ;)
nah seriously they even bust out at the end that there is no evidence for the shit, they exist only as theories that go someway to explaining shit they are dumbfounded by.

eh not quite, they do know quite abit about how much of it behaves, they just have problems accounting for it and making sense of it in a unified theory.
are you gonna embarrass yourself by pretending you know what you're talking about?
cos I admit I don't have a clue about this shit
you're making out like physicists don't acknowledge the holes and limitations in all this shit. Fuck sake even Feynman who was one of the big-wigs said "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics"

Eh i'm not saying anything that they haven't stated themselves, but it's simply true that the theories being knocked out to explain massive gaps in knowledge are incredibly speculative and to be honest if philosophy was throwing stuff so grand and speculative out in this day and age it'd be torn to pieces.
And you aren't talking to TreeofJudas here, i don't demand that scientists pretend to have straight answers for everything.

it sounded like that was just what you were doing I'm afraid 
point taken
ps- gimme a shout tomorrow

A lot of it is wildly speculative, but they don't just pull it out of their arses, the theories are created to account for the experimental data we already have. The trouble is that we have no way of testing most of it, which is why so many physicists are getting all hot and bothered about the large hadron collider.
The program was shit, anyway, just repeated the same stuff they do on every program about theoretical physics. And the analogies were brain meltingly poor.

Well, yeah, that's kind of how the whole "science" thing works. What do you want, the meaning of life?

While watching that explosion again and again (with reference to the big bang) I could feel my astronomical knowledge draining away.
If by 'serious shit' you mean 'disgreeing with common sense in every thread', then yes. I liked it better when he was insulting.
I think we could come up with formulae for some users posts.
Revol, post= inverse of gc
where c is general consensus
Jack, post=inverse of pc
(its quite obvious what pc stands for I think)
(I don't know the sign for inverse, if there is one 
)
I just got back from traing so I'm catching the last half hour of this Stephen Hawking show
It all sounds great
I still don't understand most of the physics. But I really want to
