no.
It's been proved as in proved with self consistent maths, and my little thought experiment up there.
If you have a completely random key the same size as your initial message, there is no logical (hence mathematical) wat to decrypt it, unless you have the key. think about it, you'll see what I mean.
oh I know that, but it is only a local theory, it doesn't stipulate that the speed of light (assumed to be in a vacuum) has to be an arbitrary given velocity, just that you will always measure it to be a specific velocity, regardless of your velocity or acceleration. It may have been a different velocity in the past, but right here, right now, you will always measure it to be the same, whatever you are doing.
see I don't quite get how this would affect Einstein's theory, since it doesn't make any attempt to say what the speed of light is, just that how ever fast you are travelling(and so on), you will always measure it to be the same.
the universe can still be around icen if we aren't. if all life ended tomorrow, the universe would still be here. the initial inhomogeneities only need to be very slight, and I believe they are a possible consequence of the inflationary period, though I don't know enough about cosmology to tell you why it is thought that this is the case.
yep. indeed. however we lack the theoretical knowhow to say for sure. As I say, QM and GR do not mix. My bet is on M-Theory - though I don't know enough about it to say for sure.
waves? waves of what? if it is the blackbody spectrum you are talking about, the emission is actually from near the surface of the event horison, rather than from within the black hole itself. granted there are still issues when considering the quantum mechanics of the situation though, as we all know that Quantum mechanics and relativity don't really like one another.
