Plop plop fizz fizz...
Late at night and I am busy on a political piece, but I will divert a few neurons to this.
I am reminded of the passage in one of Feynman's books about psychology being "cargo-cult science".
At first blush some of this talk seems to be reducing physics to mush--playing with assumed bell-curve distributions of constants which cannot by definition be checked.
What was that about "not falsifiable"?? 95% confidence level is still (technically) not falsified...
The other odd thought popping into my head (ok, alright, one of *many* -- as other Freepers know only too well by now) is this: "God does not play dice with the Universe" by a strange paradox, is true--by this presentation, the Universe itself is itself merely the result of ONE throw of the dice.
And so within any O-region, it appears "God does not play dice" because all we see is one throw.
What happens when two inflationary regions "just happen" to be close enough to encounter or interact with each other?
What are the odds of such a thing happening?
And why didn't *I* get to live in the Universe where Reagan beat Ford for the GOP nomination in 1976 and Carter never happened?
Thanks, Snarks, for the article. Good to the last drop as usual.
Cheers!
Okay, listen up everybody, important safety tip: Don't cross the beams!
