Another philistine/luddite calling a major-league physicist a "nutcase". Sad....Since my PhD is in this area of physics, I think I am a slightly better judge of whether this nut is a crank than you are.

more popcorn and beer needed at #61.....
I told you this would be a good show!
To: AndyJackson
That's even sadder.

Ahh, so perhaps you would address a question I've been pondering?... If the 'big bang' brought space into existence from some 'previous' state, would it be untoward to believe time (as we sense it) was also brought into existence from a previous state, thus there is a bubble of our spacetime (called our universe) existing 'inside' a more general universe?

Is this too easy or what am I missing?What you are missing is that these folks are nuts in a straight descent from Lyndon LaRouche and the Fusion Energy Foundation. According to their view the reason that we have not discovered fusion is a British plot. You see we all follow Newtonian physics, which the British wanted us to do because they then had mastery of the necessary principals of military science and could maintain their empire. If we were instead inculcated into the principals of the Gottingen school of hydrodynamics fusion would be easy - but on the other hand, cannonballs would no longer be confined to their approximately parabolic arcs and the empire would fall.
Continuing the consipiracy started by Newton, the next Blue Blooded co-conspirator is James Clark Maxwell who invented the flawed British version of electromagnetism. If would had followed some other theory of Electro Magnetism we would no longer be trying to understand the dynamics of galaxies in terms of gravitation, however well it actually works for that purpose.
I kid you not.

"I kid you not?"... Tell that to the cannonballs.

Guth's postulate of inflation suspends the 'laws of physics' for an 'another universe' event, yet Physicists are so very hesitant to postulate a 'greater universe' from which our spacetime bubble has arisen. Ask Michio Kaku how string theory can be integrated into current quantum reality and his answer is tantamount to assuming a greater 'multi-dimensional universe, albeit constructed with rolled up dimensions.
