it’s amazing to read scientific theories, postulations, etc, read about Einstien, Newton, and other super intelligent people, view the universe through their eyes and through the Hubble telescope, and then declare that there is no God....amazing
One has to ask - do these physicists and cosmologists truly believe that the universe is nothing more than the empty dance of atoms?
These people need to get with the program.
What we call “gravity” is a LOCAL PHENOMENA akin to the “surface tension” effect we see in water, except it’s acting in 3-D, not 2-D.

I have no love for eggheaded navel gazers who imagine multiple dimensions, and dream of invisible particles that dance on imaginary strings.
Ping me when these tax dollar sucking academics come up with an honest advancement in our understanding of the physical universe that leads to some practical applications in the real world.
I didn’t ping you in the first place, but nice try.
Astronomy Picture of the Day — Hints of Higgs from the Large Hadron Collider

Thanks! I also have a link up there, regarding how the Higgs’ masses preferred in various versions of the Standard Model had been ruled out before the LHC fired up.
Hey, that’s a lot packed into a small wikipage! :’)
Thanks TBP!
Ooh, these are keepers.
Nothin’ new there, as Einstein said, gravity is caused by gravity. :’)
I agree, and then there is a thread like this, dominated by knuckledraggers who show up to criticize what they don't understand and what seems strange to them. The workings of the Universe may seem counterintuitive, but it's because God created it that way.
Planck and Einsten came up with the quantum because of observed blackbody radiation and the photoelectric effect. The Higg's boson was theorized to explain certain types of rest mass. In some cases the observations came first, and in others predictions came first, but they all end up observationally confirmed. It's a strange but awesome Universe. The strangest thing about the Universe is that it can be comprehended at all.
Never saw that quote. If you have a citation, I’d love to see it.
Einsteins ideas, afaik amount to the following:
GRAVITY=SPACE=GEOMETRY
He didn’t really talk about cause, his results dealt more with observable and theoretical effects based on thought experiments.
His ideas amount to saying that you can nail a picture to the wall without ever saying anything at all about what the nail really truly is, what is the essence of being a nail.
No one can fault Einstein for his view. At the same time, no one can deny that the theory is made more whole by the extensions of Kaluza-Klein and basic quantum evidence.
As it seems to be turning out, his theory might some day be seen as pretty much a good approximation, on par with Newtons ideas.
And in one of the strangest twists in scientific history, I think we will discover that if you take Newton and toss in a little Planck, season well with a bit of Maxwell, you will end up with something better than Einstein.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize this was a private thread. My apologies.
With errors like that, it's no wonder they can't spell "hardon" either. (What do you think "SHC" stands for anyway? It's so ghey.)
Cheers!
