The Universal Fudge Factor
Wiggle zee energy ping.
That's RACIST!
This is one of those areas where I doubt anyone on Earth really knows what they are talking about.
I don’t care who you are, when you just ‘don’t know about what you don’t know’. There’s probably stuff going on ‘out there’ which we have no clue about.
Interesting theories though.
Sounds like dark bullshit to me.
I find the term dark energy troubling. It’s actually a form of energy not visible to humans. Our brains are wired to see only
A portion if the energy spectrum.
Hey.. we might just be ants compared to what’s out there, and if we are, I doubt anyone out there will bother to marvel at our advances.
Strikes me as complete humbug.
What long range observations can confirm is the existence of phenomena of the sort some physicists posit “dark energy” as a means of explaining, and, perhaps, the amount of “dark energy” such an explanation would require.
The problem is “dark energy” and “dark matter” are kludges, attempts to fix the failure of string theory on a background of general relativity to explain much of anything we actually observe and its ablity to explain lots of things we don’t observe. A correct theory of quantum gravity (or rather a correct theory of physics as a whole including gravity at the Plank scale) might well not need either “dark energy” or “dark matter” to explain the errant observations, as the aggregate effect of quantum corrections might well explain them.
My old boss, damn his soul, had it!
The Universal Fudge Factor
When it`s dark, my GF has lotsa ENERGY.
Articles like these, make it sound as though the theorists have cracked the major secrets of the universe, and yet, we still don't have a practical and functioning anti-gravity technology, or a faster-than-light drive.
Hawking sits around proclaiming that there's no afterlife, and pontificating about the weirdness of black holes, yet hasn't produced a theorem that can be turned into a practical technological advance of any kind.
I'm beginning to see people like him as little more than professional leeches of the intellectual class.
