@viceanterra4 Well, math might one day allow us to realize why we have physics. But there is nothing physics can ever tell us about math.

@viceanterra4 Yeah, it's a theory. But it's a bit like seeing the aftermath of a forest fire and arguing about whether or not it was a fire or something else that caused the devastation. Just because it seems utterly obvious to practically every mind that sees enough of the scene, there will always be a few delusional imbeciles to point out that we can't be 100% sure it was an actual fire. The trees might have burned individually, for example, and it's only a coincidence that none aren't.

They act like that because there is a considerable amount of evidence it happened.
And yes the theory is our best explanation of how the big bang happened (it's still happening btw), just like Einstein's theory of general relativity is our best explanation of how gravity works.

Individual strings and particles can't be seen with light wavelength, colliders allow us to understand what's happened from analyzing the fallout.

Yet another dream ruined. :P

My microscope will compensate for this. Another advantage of the microscope is that it doesn't consume any power to operate as the collider does.
