dr sheldon cooper is impressed.
Ok. That was a really really dumbed down explanation. But given the complexity of the subject matter, I’m not surprised.
Are we still “here”? Did we get sucked into a black hole?
Fairytail for grown-ups.
“how the Big Bang created something out of nothing”
Then the “Big Bang” was the creator. That’s what it says.
Sorry bud. the “Big Bang” is not a sufficient explanation for the existence of the universe. If there was a “Big Bang” (there wasn’t) then the “Big Bang” was what happened to the universe after it came into existence.
Other ludicrous theories: “The universe pops in and out of existence.”
“there is a multiverse and our universe is but one of many”
“alternate universes”
Does this mean Obama is going to get another Nobel Prize?
I would guess that the number of serious physicists (not armchair phyicists or those with a political agenda) who believe that proof of the existance of the Higgs boson is the “death knell of Christianity” can be counted on two hands.
OTOH, there are probably even less serious physicists who believe in Young Earth theories.
Most simply appreciate the advancement of the science through the confirmation of a theory.
Stopped reading here. Major red flags. What other kind of physicist is there?
I’ve done quite a bit of work in quality, 6-sigma, auditing, and manufacturing. One of the issues I’ve repeatedly found with our engineers when delivering new things is that they don’t understand or apply gage repeatability and reproducibility when developing so when it gets to the floor we have to ask for changes to meet what the process can actually achieve and measure.
As a Physics major I cannot recall one time conducting GRR in a lab and most of the scientists I studied with or worked with later in life were remiss to spend costly lab time doing it either.
The only reason I bring this up is that I’m starting to wonder if some of the “unknowns” that we still have aren’t actually accounted for by the measurement process variation. If this variability failed to be taken into account in the core science (not in regards to heisenberg either) it would have significant impact to what is being said or assumed.
