Or is this one of those examples of where QM and relativity don't mix?

But the HUP isn't some mystical force, it's the result of particles having wave-like properties and particle properties simultaneously. A wave doesn't have a specific location, that's fine, nothing wrong with a photon having wave properties and therefore not having a specific location, but how is it going form a particle-wave to just a particle at a single point where the rest of it disappears? How does the rest of the waving photon localize? I guess it can't be answered with certainty, but it would be nice to see an educated guess since things like strings and other higg's bosons are also basically educated guesses.

We're pretty far from actually "conquering" nature and other animals, as there are animals which can even survive nuclear blasts and there's tons of them. But, there doesn't really need to be a need to "conquer" all the other animals if we have the brains to survive without doing all that is there?

So since your not telling me what does happen, I'm guess you don't know what actually happens either, but if you don't know what happens, how do you know what I'm saying is completely wrong? Things like the antennae in cellphones can interact with radio waves, but radio waves are meters wide, so how does whatever a photon is made out of that spreads out over a football field suddenly shrink to a single interaction point when a cellphone absorbs it? What happens to the rest of the photon that was a football field long minus a single point?

Well there has to be something causing that warp in the fabric of space right? And we also need it to explain why gravity is so much weaker than the other forces especially in the sub-atomic world. It might help with unifying relativity and quantum mechanics.

So the dis-entanglement of particles happens instantaneously, but how can that be if I am in two different gravity potentials? What if one is on Earth and another is by a black hole? Would I still measure at the same "time" that the other one disentangled, and if I didn't, doesn't that mean it's not instantaneous?

Maybe all of the photon needs to pass into the electron to get absorbed, or maybe the photon changes to a different photon as the first part get's absorbed, which means that the thing you were saying would't apply because it's not the same photon once the first part get's absorb. If one wavelength of a 300 nano-meter photon suddenly disappears, is it a 299 meter wavelength or does it stretch out more to become a 301 nn wavelength? A photon has to travel only specific distance in time since it's speed isn't instantaneous, so there's obviously something going, but because of that HUP thing you just said, we know that energy can't be continuously absorbed from a single photon, so I think one of the two things I was saying is true or near-true, although how does a photon that's bigger than the cloud of an electron fit entirely inside an electron without part of it already passing through the other side by the time the end of the photon reaches it?

Maybe it wasn't telepathy exactly, http://en.wikipedia....lectroreception All people would seem to need a mutation of that to project those fields strongly enough like how you were saying, but I was thinking if there was a mutation with a that gave someone a heightened enough sensitivity, then they would be able to sense even weak magnetic or electrical fields. After doing a little research, it was actually 3-4 genes (4 may be the second mutation of the same gene), but they all control the cell cycle, so as I was saying, the gene(s) that control the cell cycle get altered, and that's why all cancer happens, since each cell has genes that control when it divides, when it dies, etc. Those genes are mismatch genes, supressor genes, and proto-oncogenes, or at least that's what I've found so far. The causes for the alteration of those genes can be different and the cell they occur in can vary. Some cells like muscle cells are missing one or two cell cycle genes which is why muscle cancer almost never happens.

But it's not just a frame of reference, physical things happen. If I traveled at 99.9999999% the speed of light, a piece of metal left out in the rain would rust if I traveled one second of what I count. That's not a frame of reference, that's the passage of time changing somehow so that physical aging doesn't physically effect me the same as the environment around me. But despite swan's comment about the speed of light looking constant somehow, I'm not seeing why time proportionally slows to movement. So what if space and time are mixed in an aether-like fabric? Again, I ask what moving has to do with that.

What is the exact amount of force of gravity needed to shove an electron into the nucleus? Or what else happens to an atom just before an object becomes a black hole? What's the gravitational force needed to force neutrons together at such a high force they somehow break down and fuse? Or, since particle's can't escape, what happens to the component particles of things like protons and electrons just before they get forced together or when they actually do get forced together?

I'm having understanding what your trying to say here. So.. the uncertainty principal says you can't base future information off of past information too right? Are you trying to say that "part" of a photon can't interact with a particle because then that would be assuming that you can base the location of the rest of the photon based on where the first part hit in the past? But a photon doesn't have a finite position so I couldn't anyway, and neither does an electron so there doesn't have to be past or present information, it's just all one single photon which is in of itself a wave which occupies a (sometimes) large 3 dimensional area. Wouldn't it be more like waves hitting in the water? Only part of the waves can meet.

Wait, so the electromagnetic force actually travels from the singularity of a black hole past the event horizon? Couldn't signals be sent in the form of pulses? Also, doesn't that mean that whatever the force carrier is for the EM force isn't effected by the distortion of the fabric of space which means you should be able to measure some property of it as a constant?

So your saying a clock goes higher off the ground, there's less gravity pulling on it due to less distortion, so the quartz crystals vibrating the clock can vibrate at a faster rate with the same amount of energy, but then when they return, since its the same gravity, they start vibrating at the same rate with the same amount of energy put into vibrating as before? Also, what about that traveling towards the speed of light thing? For some reason if you traveled near the speed of light (at least in conventional ways), then for some reason time would pass slower for you than for other people.

How? In the uncertainty principal things still have a specific 3 dimensional space which they can occupy based on specific mass or energy. A particle of light has a specific energy, so doesn't that mean it has a specific size? In fact, I'm pretty sure that the more energetic a particle is the less localized it is because of the uncertainty principal in the first place. Also, what "model"? I only said a photon occupies 3 dimensions, which you agreed with, and therefore because it occupies 3 dimensions and only travels at a specific speed, only one part of the 3 dimensional photon can touch something at any given time, just like only part of a bullet makes contact with a wall at first even though a bullet is traveling really fast. Are you trying to say that "part" of a photon doesn't interact with things? Because that's different than saying that a part of a photon doesn't "touch" something else. A low energy radio photon "touches" other objects, but it doesn't interact with them. That also reminds me that you said a radio wave can only reach and interact with your phone by only interacting with your cellphone and no others, but then how can other people listen in an a conversation your having?

That's what I was thinking, but then again cancer, which is mainly caused by the mutation of one single type of gene (which controls the rate of the cell cycle), manages to happen in millions of people. It's just one single gene that manages to get altered nearly the same exact way in many many people, so any residual fish DNA should also have a chance of mutating. Even if it isn't, there's probably some way to genetically engineer a way ourselves to be sensitive to electro-magnetism. I think birds are too, so both fish and birds, and over half our DNA is the same as in birds and fish. Even in something like a beetle our DNA is around 60% the same, but the ones that are similar are present in different amounts, so perhaps there are just lesser amounts of the residual fish DNA responsible for being sensitive to electro-magnetism.

But if it was purely based on motion and not something mechanical, wouldn't the clock return to normal once it landed back on Earth? I mean your not moving anymore, so the clock should return to the same rate, but for some reason it doesn't. Plus when people fly a clock in a jet, then that's further away from the Earth which means less gravity. Also, wait, making it go "faster"? I thought the closer you approached the speed of light, the slower the rate of your time flowed to other people. I'm asking why THAT happens, because if you fly a clock in a jet it will be faster since there's less gravity distortion due to it's height off the ground.

But then how can be true? If a photon takes time, then doesn't that have to mean that only part of it can touch something before all of it reaches something since it travels at a specific speed?

But why does a clock having more kinetic energy effect how someone else sees how many times a quartz crystal inside it vibrates? Ok, a digital clock doesn't use gears, it uses minerals and electrical signals, so when you move a digital clock near the speed of light, your seeing how many times the quartz crystal vibrates or how many times an electrical current causes an impulse. So how does moving effect that? I can see with gravity that it slows the passage of time at a higher gravitational potential, but I don't see why I wouldn't accurately count how many times a clock is vibrating its quartz crystal unless the measurement of time in that instance isn't due to time it all, its just due to mechanical forces effecting the motion of the electrical currents and minerals inside the clocks.

Well actually, I was assuming that the environment was static, but if the environment changes dramatically, then yes, something that was a disadvantage before CAN be an advantage then. But what about heart problems? Someone with too big of a body in proportion to their heart simply dies at an early age, that's it, how can that ever help them? How does being born with your eyes too egg-shaped help you in any environment? You would still only be able to pick up optical light, and you wouldn't be able to even do it well.

Ya know, it honestly takes a billion years for a pool of just the right chemicals to get tampered with just the right amount of heat as to cause life. I doubt scientists can prove it in a single lifetime.

Telepathy is like, hearing what other people think right? Well, humans evolved form fish, and fish communicate or at least send some kinds of signals through electro-magnetic waves, but I can't say for sure at all in any way since I don't have any evidence for it in humans, but perhaps there are mutations with the residual DNA from fish that are in humans causing humans to be sensitive to electro-magnetic waves, and humans also generate a bio-magnetic field as well as emit brain waves.

So when an interaction occurs with a photon, all of the photon instantaneously transports to the point where it measured, that's what your saying. If photons occupy 3 dimensions, then in order to only perceive photons at a 1 dimensional sphere (or point) there has to be some kind of instantaneous transport and/or destruction of the rest of the photon which was 3-dimensional units away from the point where the first part of the photon was measured.

Wait, I was already agreeing with that. All that demonstrates is that the dent in the fabric of space also effects time since things operate slower in a higher gravitational field. But what about time slowing objects moving? How does having more kinetic energy make an object approaching light speed distort the fabric of space more as to cause it's time to slow even if there's no other objects around it for 4000000000000000 light years?

Well what about radio waves traveling through solid buildings and hitting other cellphone antennae? When someone calls me, the radio signal isn't just directly transported to my cellphone, it travels through thousands of different things including other objects that will pick it up. They measure the radio photon way before it reaches me, yet I still receive the signal as if it hasn't been determined to a single point already. Are you trying to say a photon doesn't actually occupy at least 3 dimensions?

Quantum mechanics deals much with the small scale. For this reason, things are not distorted. Particles have a wave-function which extends indefinitely through space, however, there are specific places where particles like jump around the most, and those places are only a few nano-meters big.
