@Leadfoot,
Quote:I know enough to see that even our best scientists sometimes miss the obvious, so I don't begrudge you your theories on physics. But I also know I don't know enough to finish Einstein's work and come up with his Grand Unification Theory. My best guess is that we will either come to the end of physics and complete the Standard Model but remain perplexed about where it came from, Or, come to a dead end due to our inability to build a LHC large enough to explore the next fundamental particle. It will then be declared 'unknowable' (some are already saying this) but the belief that it's all a result of natural processes will remain intact.
I don't think you believe this, because of your past posts. I think you believe in a designer. All designers imagine an image in there mind before they arrange the parts of what they are building. There is only one way to arrange the particles, antiparticles, force carrying particles, bosons, etc. . . to get the universe we can sense, measure, and sometimes predict. (quite accurately, but not perfectly) The math we need to describe everything might be nearly impossible to do because, we cannot measure perfectly, or compute such a complex fluid system. (It would be like perfectly predicting the weather mathematically.) But, you can imagine the same image as this designer, just like you can imagine the atoms and molecules that construct our atmosphere, that make our weather. It says, "Ask and you shall be answered, seek and it will be given to you." The period at the end of that sentence means, "end of message". Don't add to that sentence:
except when you try to understand the answer to, "why is the fine structure constant what it is, or how does gravity come to be?" then you won't get an answer.
I think you believe that, the designer himself will show you the answer sooner or (without a doubt) later. Or, maybe I misread you.
Anyway, Einstein's work will never be finished in this age. but I agree with this.
Quote:That Einstein was uncomfortable with quantum theory attracted much attention and there have been many accounts of his reservations, some trying to locate their deeper sources. However these different accounts may vary, there is no doubt of Einstein's principal objection. He believed that the quantum wave function of some system, the ψ-function, was not a complete description of the system. Rather, it provided some sort of statistical summary of the properties of many like systems.
Which makes me wonder why he said this:
Quote:No man can visualize four dimensions, except mathematically … I think in four dimensions, but only abstractly. The human mind can picture these dimensions no more than it can envisage electricity. Nevertheless, they are no less real than electro-magnetism, the force which controls our universe, within, and by which we have our being
What, were the many "like systems" he was assuming there had to exist; if they were not compacted multi-dimensional universes, interacting with each other?
