Technically, science can't be "wrong". The scientific process can't be wrong because it never truly claims to be "right" it just says "this is most probable, according to the current data". The PREDICTIONS of scientists may be totally wrong, but science tells us what is most coherent with the data. When data is scarce, science can't create a complete picture, and when scientists try to extrapolate or try to determine the missing pieces... SCIENTISTS (not science) can be mistaken.

I've read the book fairly recently, and I have to say. Worth it 100%! I've always had a love for the future, and particularly physics. Michio is the best author I have found (so far) on these topics. I own most of his books as a matter of fact. Michio, though, never says anything is "impossible" in his book, he simply puts them into classes of IMPROBABILITY Class I being possible and close to reality, Class II being possible but not within out reach, and class III being impossible according to our CURRENT understanding of the universe, and if proven workable, would shake the foundations of modern physics.

IMO, it could be completely possible. There's no data (yet) that says that the brains CAN'T live, say, 1000 years past its bodies due. Another way to achieve virtual infinite life, would be to do a sort of "Brain-scan" and then create a silicon based replicate.

I now see your second point as well, that even though they have the same 4th power, the 2nd power is variant, and therefore not equal to 1. Thanks again.

Oh, I understand now. THANK YOU. Phew, it was bugging me. Let me see if I got this straight... the square root of -1, to the 4th power = 1. BUT taking the fourth root of 1 = 1, -1, i, or -i NOT both. So i doesn't necessarily = 1 or -1 What else could, to the fourth power, equal 1 other than 1 and -1? i seems to be both positive AND negative. (Which very well may be the point).

So? The 4th root of 1 is -1 or 1. Neither would work.

I don't understand. All I did was take i, put it to the 4th power, and took that number and found its 4th root. Shouldn't that, in the end, equal the same?

i = [math]\sqrt{-1}[/math] i[math]^{4}[/math] = [math]\sqrt{-1}[/math][math]^{4}[/math] = 1 [math]\sqrt[4]{1}[/math] = i = 1 Therefore [math]\sqrt{-1}[/math] = 1, but that would mean that 1*1 = -1 Which is impossible. How is this? Did I make a miscalculation? Or is this really a paradox?

How many times is the public gonna freak out before they realize they're ignorant?

Seems rational to me Beings that that always seems to be the case!

I was surprised to see you talk about the flexing in your ears, for I too, have been able to do so for as long as I can remember... Tell me, do you hear a sort of "rumble" when you flex? Also, I did some research awhile ago, and found that the theory is that one could potentially control the tiny muscles attached to ones ear-drum, creating the rumble as the muscle doesn't pull consistantly.

Halo is pretty fun. But it's not the best programing wise... I've seen some very great games, like OBLIVION and BIOSHOCK. Thanks for all the help. I've produced many personal theories and am now on a steadier path. Anything else is (Of course) still very appreciated. Garrys mod is has the best physics engine EVER!! you can do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING!!! I even made a gyroscope!!! Look up some projects by people on youtube.com...

Thanks BIG HELP. I especially liked the simulations. Any one know of any others? I'm trying to find gravity games specifically..

What's enthalpy? Why do they produce heat (kinetic energy)? It's just a reaction. And what happens to the heat when you have an endothermic reaction? (these are not homework questions, I was just curious. I'm only 14 you see).
