Fine. What's the question?
One thing I never understood about this movie... if they were so concerned about concentrating power in one individual, why did they send one of the remaining two to a place where he will have to constantly fight for his life?
And good point!
There were a lot of logical inconsistencies in that movie, but these days inconsistency is the rule and not the exception.
(What every happened with the woman with the rat? Where did she come from (what universe? and where did she go? Was there an ongoing relationship? If he could move faster, couldn't he also think faster? And if so, how could he have possibly have been caught by those normal moving and thinking 'agents'? Etc...)
Got to love the open-mindedness from which this scientist approaches the question. He, without evidence, has ruled out an option and formed a theory to suit his own pre-conceived notions.
Does that disprove the theory? Of course not; it is interesting, nonetheless.
there was a lot to not understand about that movie. Like why it was made.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a BIG Jet Li fan, but I mostly go for the stuff he did IN CHINA. Most of his movies that have been targeted for the US audiece have quite frankly stunk.
Have you seen "Fist of Legend"? It has some of the best fight scenes of any martial arts film I've ever seen!!!!
And when we manufacture a gene pool for them, are they going to get into debates over evolution or intelligent design?
One of the best. Too bad they changed the ending when they dubbed it into English.
The Answer to The Ultimate Question Of Life, the Universe and Everything
Don't you agree that the established view is that the universe best described by QM in the small scale and GR in the large?
Intelligent aliens refer to us as "apes with guns", an apt description, yes? They say earth is a school. Some never make it out of the something-for-nothing cradle(democrats), others see the light of truth and mature. The parable of the sower sowing seeds : which are you? The hard soil, the weed-chocked soil, or the fertile ground that brings forth abundantly? n/0=n and nx0=n is telling you a great truth about reality vs fantasy, are you hearing without understanding, or seeing without perceiving? For if you have the truth within you to begin with your heart will sing for joy upon first hearing it. Have you ever seen these mathematicians that constantly run off at the mouth about infinity being some THING that they, and only THEY, can understand...produce said infinity...hmmmm? Or, the emperor has no new "infinite" clothes, he's BUCK NAKED...as people laugh...and know that n/0=n...you can't get something from nothing...
Well, fso301, perhaps the writer(s) of those passages had something specific in mind (and perhaps not), but, whatever it was, it clearly has nothing to do with inflationary cosmology and multiple universes. In my view, anyway.
The Bible is directly contradicted by at least two mainstream scientific theories (The Big Bang and Evolution). If Christians can reconcile those conflicts between faith and science in their minds, as so many apparently have, then they should have no problem reconciling the Bible with the concept of a multiverse.
I know... the answer was far easier to come by than the question... so the mice tell us.
Don't you agree that the established view is that the universe best described by QM in the small scale and GR in the large?
Both stories seem to me to be absolutely identical.
What about it? I don't have a problem with Intelligent Design.
"...why the answer to life, the universe and the third moment of the Riemann zeta function should be 42..."
Weird.
