WELL I'M SCIENCY-ER!

[Jojenga]

I made this thread for ONE sole purpose.

So that the following people can have scientific debates.

Pyro
Chaosky
Ira's Shadow
TailsDollFan
chanterla (when he gets back)
and anyone else.

So, let me begin the first topic so that all of you may have fun...and one i'm interested in myself, is your opinions on the String Theory.

Begin :3

[darkmartio]

Apparently I was not invited.
And also, I don't know much of the String Theory, I tried researching it, can Someone explain it to me?

Well... Part of the theory is that the things that make up atoms, Quarks and Electrons are made up of small 1 dimensional strings... Personally, I am quite rusty on the subject and haven't been doing too much research on it but it's what got me interested in theoretical physics and quantum physics.

[darkmartio]

Oh thanks. I'll research it tho.

[Razer]

I wanna have a debate about teleportation technology, but I'm not sure where to begin. What's the main problem scientists are having with such technology? Is it finding enough energy, or does it have something to do with money?

Theoretical Physics are fun, especially when it involves teleportation to unknown lands!

Anyway, look at this: www.ted.com/talks/brian_greene_on_string_theory.html

Extra explanation 1: Gravitons are the carrier particles of gravity and are emitted by all matter. They are the things that pull you toward other objects, and are best represented by a curvature in space-time. The Graviton belongs to a class of force carrier particles called Bosons.

(By the way, feel free to correct me on things if you think they're wrong. I don't just KNOW everything, and sometimes information is unbelievably hard to find.)

Extra explanation 2: Okay, so maybe this isn't so much of an explanation as an opinion, but I believe that different universes also have different numbers of dimensions. (I.E.: Instead of 11, it's got 2.)
Why do I believe this? It's a possibility! I've also heard of it somewhere else before...

Think about it: We only say String Theory requires 11 dimensions because that's what's we (might) have in our universe. String theory works perfectly well with any number of dimensions, but everything that occurs in our universe takes 11 dimensions to describe.
In fact, there might be universes with more than 11 dimensions. THAT is just pure speculation, of course, but it is possible...


Extra opinion: About there being mini Calabi Yau spaces everywhere, I have an alternative. What if the universe itself is a large Calabi Yau space? There's virtually no difference.

The only reason they say there are many tiny ones, is because we can't see these extra dimensions. However, who says we CAN see them? They would be beyond anything we know, would they effect us in a way we can perceive?

I generally think of dimensions as levels of existence, in a way. For instance, I mentioned in another thread that parallel universes exist in the same space we do, but are separated by other dimensions.

Here's an example:

You're trying to get from point A to Point B. However, Point B is blocked by a wall expanding infinitely in all directions. You can't get through it, but a ghost can pass right through it.


Of course, I have no clue what these dimensions are like. To put it into perspective, it's like not knowing what's inside the wall.

As you can see, I take a few liberties with string theory. Fortunately, my modifications are minor, and the same rules still apply.

I believe I covered pretty much everything. I would ask that you notify me of potential errors, because I wouldn't be surprised if I made quite few.

Do you know how hard it is to compensate for the mathematical equations in string theory (when I "took those liberties") without doing all the math?

...

Well, it's not exactly hell, but it's easy to get stuff wrong.



MR. PR- wait, what? This was on a normal thread?!

Wow... but I think I'll find a way to transfer this there.

Edit: For Razer's question, it depends on what type of teleportation you are talking about.

[Dornob]

Oh lord

My head hurts from reading all of this. ;-;

[darkmartio]

Oh and Ray, I think to create a sucessful portal we need a wormhole(Is that correct ChaoSky?), and we humans don't know how to, also with the dangers of appearing hundreds of years before or later, where(Could be in the ocean,space, or even in a rock). So I think those are the main problems. Right Chaosky?

[Chaosky]

Proper teleportation does require a wormhole, something we cannot make. The closest thing to teleportation we have is a process involving transferring the information of a particle to a photon and reforming it at its destination. I'll have to read about it again.
And no, it can't be used on humans. Or cats. Or ants. Or microscopic bacteria. Or even a moderately sized molecule.

Why not?
And also, was I right?

[Chaosky]

For starters, can you IMAGINE the amount of data that would be required to transport a human? With what we have now, it's like trying to throw someone to the moon.

And you were right in regard to wormholes, yes.

[darkmartio]

Now that we got that, what now?

[Pyro]

One way of "teleportation" would be to scan a being and copy all of its atoms into a massive database. One that could hold all that information and complex commands. Then you would proceed to find a place where you can rearrange all those atoms in order to form the being. That kind is very tricky and can be interrupted. That's why you would have a copy. Basically you are chopped into pieces and those pieces are thrown across space and rearranged... And that to me is like you die and another you is created... I would prefer a technique of a portal, a way to bend space and time...
Right now, we have no machines that can hold all that information to both copy a human, send a human to a place, rearrange a human, and still have a copy of the data of the human.

[hydroxianchaos]

I agree with the portal thing. I don't quite like the idea of copying every aspect of an object's matter and transfering it somewhere else, while the original is destroyed. Also, I want to talk about these "Gravitons" Chaosky mentioned. If all matter contains these, is it possible to rid an object of all forms of gravity and force? Would that mean the object's molecules would simply fall apart, or will they remain connected with each other and simply will not be affected by anything? Anyone wish to go into this further? I'm not trying to change the topic, but I would like to disscuss more on this. To elaborate, suppose these Bosons were somehow removed from, let's say, a ball. Would it dissipate or suddenly just float away? I know other particles keep atoms and molecules together or something along the lines of that.

[darkmartio]

Pyro, I don't think atoms can be copied.
