PBS NOVA - The Elegant Universe Part 7 of 7

[OHHHmar1]

so my conclusion after watching this? we dont know shit about this world! :D lets get working

[BrandonFound]

En Mexico, we have shoe-lace theory.

[superawesomefilm]

i got sparticles in my room, u guys wants some?

[InternetDarkLord]

@superawesomefilm Sure, you accept 6 dollar bills?

[DragonMan933]

@InternetDarkLord he probably has those to.

[MrSilvestris]

They'll need something ten times the size of Cern to just scratch the surface of something as yet unimagined.

[eddieisfiction]

@MrSilvestris more likely the issue isnt the size of Cern but rather the technology capability of their current equipment there.

[BrandonFound]

@NYRIKAN shutup.your ideas are wrong and your just being mystical.

[Bendertheoffender234]

what a waste of time, energy and intellectual capacity this science is. there is one planet / universe / reality/ to be saved. If mankind does proceed the usual way, that only universe we got, will become unlivable in only a couple of decades.  that is all that matters. additionally this report totally ignores the social sciences of social cognition. what a waste.

[nurfuis]

String Theory is a cool idea and it belongs in science fiction.

[SoulOfTheKnight]

Thank you for posting!

[kreigor]

Strings are the shape we comprehend very easily, they just use them to explain what we do not understand fully. The greatest hindrance to knowledge and the true understanding of what existence is the illusion their of. What i'm saying is maybe strings now but the cool thing about science is that it could be something else tomorrow. Science changes some people deal with it well and some not so well.

[papag000]

this is all bull... deep down we all kno god created the universe n we all come from adam n eve... its the truth.. i swear to god

[Palikka92]

I truly hope that you are a bad troll :D

[crneroses]

Go to hell.

[kreigor]

LOL i love how you ended this

[SuperMerlin100]

@papag000 The Adam & Eve story isn't even genetically possible.

The last universe male line ancestory. Meaning if we trace everyone back solely through the male line. lived no less the 60,000 years ago.

[culwin]

Those without timecube are educated stupid!!!

[PlanetPissEmployee]

We live 110 years, at the absolute most, and we're wasting our time on theories that might be wrong. Why don't we live to make today amazing, and not to see what a tomorow that might not even exist would be like.

[culwin]

@PlanetPissEmployee

Uh, human knowledge exists because we're able to pass on what we've learned over more than 110 years.  Living for today is nice, but tomorrow comes up pretty fast.

[kreigor]

well i see apathy is still strong

[jcborja]

Pseudo science?

[gaghielex]

cheap philosophy and science fiction...!!!

[Nothingreallyexists]

@gaghielex So what you are saying is that it is beyond your level of comprehension? K.... hows God treating you today?..... oh the irony.

[ashrive]

@gaghielex You mean religion right?

[jpwneo]

brian's facial expressions are a mix of Ross from friends and Seinfeld :)

[SuperGenericUsername]

Humans - How long is a piece of string? You calculate new ways to calculate only.

Consider:

Time is no dimension.

Three dimensions are all that is.

Temperature, is everything.

[LASALLIONSTALLION]

They need CHRISTOPHER LANGAN!!!!

Althought he rejected Academia as a young man and has become a Bouncer would you believe it. He has an IQ higher than Einstein. He spends time at home and everywhere calculating the universe and theorizing quantum mechanical formulas. He claims he's mathematically proven the existence of the soul.

Youtube him!!

PS: if they do take him in and he discovers amazing things. his life'd make a pretty cool movie.

[ottosantiago]

Its funny..we are made of the tuff of the universe. Maybe were just the universe trying to understand it self. Every single inteligent being in the universe serving as a neuron. Gets you thinking...

[kreigor]

gets me thinking that you read douglas adams

[ottosantiago]

@kreigor

Dont know who he is, but I'll look it up.

[matydrum]

@ottosantiago , I think so! :)

[gmarleyg]

@ottosantiago I share the same philosophy-imagination...

[Pontos59]

very intering stuff thank you for uploading this

[ProbablyConfused]

I love how my particle physics classes completely ignored string theory in favor of standard quantum mechanics. This would have been some much cooler (although practically useless at the moment.)

[ummagumma00]

String Theory is great because we will never be able to see them while at the same time the math supports their existence. What does this mean? It means physicists are entering the age of building their individual fame on notions that can't possible be experimentally proven......how else are they supposed to get chicks?

[chicken0317]

nice

[redwinet3]

Good luck with that journey! I don't think it's possible to figure out "this elegant universe", but I'm glad it keeps these smarty pants busy. It sounds like they all just keep coming up with a new idea to research to prove nothing but more new ideas! It all just hurts my brain. I think it is all meant to be a mystery.

[URProductions]

NO. Science has given us the framework to make wireless communications clear. If we stop now, nothing else will ever be clear again. Capiche?

[Inertialtronics]

Einstein's theory of relativity is beautifull, gorgeous and agree's with God existence more then that it proves there is a God. String theory? I have not seen scientists or physicists to say anything about God when talk about string theory, also dosnt prove it there is, not even a clue, everything is a damn chaos in string theory. There is only one photon in the universe and the universe is 1 photon as written in the bible: God is the light. Simple like crazy.

[tube630271]

So where'd that photon come from? Questions instantly

[omgbaby123]

what's a photon

[Airfresh0]

i'm sorry that people are so mean to you about the photon. lol. it's sort of like a light partical. it has proparties of a wave and a partical.

[KikiG1rl]

The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation also sponsored To The Contrary

[apostropho]

so what's energy?

[ssankoo]

A thing wich is in strings :D

[apostropho]

so what the hell are the strings made of?

[ikickazz]

i believe they said energy..
