I like this theory.

 

You know you have a shopping problem when you get texts throughout the day advising that your packages are out for delivery...and you don't remember what you ordered. Its going to be like Christmas morning when I get home tonight. :smt114

 

Some quantum physicists believe this is where dreams come from...that you are you in every universe, and your unconscious mind(s) actually tap into these other realms when you're asleep.

 

That would be great if I was experience alternate versions of things happening, only if I could tap into this.

Sounds like some Steven King sh!t, they need to make a good movie with this theory. I know they've done the alterneate universe thing, but not exactly like this theory.

 

The Brane Theory seems plausible, but one fundamental flaw in this hypothesis: There are no observational, or empirical evidence provided to prove that such a theory is viable. It's further evident when the large Hadron Collider constrained the large dimensional theories, which the Brane Theory applies.

While a good theory to provide, the Brane theory doesn't contain sufficient (if any) evidence to back it up. It's not just a matter of giving out an idea, it's also a means of testing -- hence the scientific method has to be applied.

 

its not a problem at all, trust me! it just means the stores dont carry your size or what you need and you have to order online.

 

Hence "theory"...none have been proven. Once proven, a theory becomes a law.

 

Pay attention to definitions 1 and 2 and look at the bold part carefully. When speaking of scientific theories, Definition 1 applies wholeheartedly, as are evolutionary theory, heliocentric theory, germ theory, theory of gravity, laws of physics, etc...all of which have been proven through the scientific method.

The Brane Theory applies to number 2, but it's also a flawed idea since when tested through some empirical status, it doesn't hold up.

There seems to be a problem with people not understanding the difference between theories in the realm of science and the everyday usage of it, which places the intellectual thinking into a convoluted influx.

 

We can copy and paste all day. You're smart enough to know a theory is not a law, although they are often incorrectly used interchangeably, any reputable scientist or physicist would CRINGE if you used them interchangeably in their presence. But since we're in the mood to google to prove points.......

"Hypothesis

A hypothesis is an educated guess, based on observation. Usually, a hypothesis can be supported or refuted through experimentation or more observation. A hypothesis can be disproven, but not proven to be true.

Example: If you see no difference in the cleaning ability of various laundry detergents, you might hypothesize that cleaning effectiveness is not affected by which detergent you use. You can see this hypothesis can be disproven if a stain is removed by one detergent and not another. On the other hand, you cannot prove the hypothesis. Even if you never see a difference in the cleanliness of your clothes after trying a thousand detergents, there might be one you haven't tried that could be different.

Theory

A scientific theory summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. A theory is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it. Therefore, theories can be disproven. Basically, if evidence accumulates to support a hypothesis, then the hypothesis can become accepted as a good explanation of a phenomenon. One definition of a theory is to say it's an accepted hypothesis.

Example: It is known that on June 30, 1908 in Tunguska, Siberia, there was an explosion equivalent to the detonation of about 15 million tons of TNT. Many hypotheses have been proposed for what caused the explosion. It is theorized that the explosion was caused by a natural extraterrestrial phenomenon, and was not caused by man. Is this theory a fact? No. The event is a recorded fact. Is this this theory generally accepted to be true, based on evidence to-date? Yes. Can this theory be shown to be false and be discarded? Yes.

Law

A law generalizes a body of observations. At the time it is made, no exceptions have been found to a law. Scientific laws explain things, but they do not describe them. One way to tell a law and a theory apart is to ask if the description gives you a means to explain 'why'.

Example: Consider Newton's Law of Gravity. Newton could use this law to predict the behavior of a dropped object, but he couldn't explain why it happened.

As you can see, there is no 'proof' or absolute 'truth' in science. The closest we get are facts, which are indisputable observations. Note, however, if you define proof as arriving at a logical conclusion, based on the evidence, then there is 'proof' in science. I work under the definition that to prove something implies it can never be wrong, which is different. If you're asked to define hypothesis, theory, and law, keep in mind the definitions of proof and of these words can vary slightly depending on the scientific discipline. What is important is to realize they don't all mean the same thing and cannot be used interchangeably. "

 

Damn you Amazon lol

 

I'm being an activist today. :smt023

 

I didn't use a simple Google Dictionary. I've even consulted the Oxford English Dictionary right in front of me, which also further proves my statement. Here is what is shown:

You've completely ignored the fact that theories, when used in the sense of science, and as defined by sense 1, they are held to be general laws and the reason why some of these theories have yet been disputed [correctly] is because the evidence provided underwent extensive careful planning through the scientific method - all of which have been factually proven. We're not using them interchangeably. I'm maintaining a consistent position on the matter, unlike those who take a grandiose limited definition of it in order to appease whatever gap they wish to create in their minds.

I've been debating this a lot and quite frankly, your statement isn't anything new that I've heard. Just limiting understanding on definition, semantics, and overall understanding of certain fields.

 

So anyone who's opinion differ from yours has limited understanding? LAUGHABLE "THEORY" YOU GOT THERE BRO! If I'm one of several people telling you this, maybe you need to re-evaluate...I'd quote Stephen Hawking, but it's pointless right now. You're hellbent on being "right"...smh

 

So, since when ignorance is considered a point of view? I'm merely given you a scientific, academic definition, while you purposely feign yourself into a diarrhea infested pool of denial.

And quite frankly, even Stephen Hawking would find humor in your statement too.

“Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?”
? Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”
? Stephen Hawking

The quote above perfectly explains the rationality of most humans nowadays.

 

LOL sounds familiar
I had one envelope and one package that was dropped off at the pharmacy next door.
I was surprised when the DHL man saw me down the street one day and called me by my name that he got a package for me.
I thought "He either likes me a lot or I order wayyyyy too much..." :smt081

 

Ding ding ding

Dude doesnt agree unless you agree with him.
I honestly cant wait to see what contributions he makes to science

 

When I was 26 futile ramblings were my thing too. And although I could throw around buzz words,and was actually somewhat smart, I often looked like an immature prick. Then I grew up. Wish you the best in your quest for cyber clout. I'll let my $90k+ and the M.S. after my last name do the talking for me homey #teamwinning!!!!!

 

Oh, you, I and several others all feel the same I see. It's youth...nothing more, nothing less.

 

Amazon, eBay, Victorias Secret...damn I even bought a portable charger for cell phones and electronics off of QVC last weekend. No.self.control. Between bras, panties, shoes, and now electronics...I'm keeping these peeps in business!

My UPS and FedEx guys know me by name also They're at my house at least 3x per week, so I take good care of them when holidays roll around!
