Darkpassenger

I Just read you Power point you gave on a Introduction to general relativity It was some what helpful. also made me remember that i should have payed more attention in Math class. I thank you for posting that for me, any bit of info i can get to help me understand GR is alway greatly appreciated. Yes I did miss state what i was trying to explaining you are correct i should have said in 2 directions or more as in reference to the rubber sheet analogy even though this analogy dose not fully explain what it is that i am trying to describe maybe i will find some better way to describe what it is that troubled with.

Thank you very much for this linking me info on this subject i will look in to this book and will most likely order it in the next few days i am always open minded to new prospectives and ideas and if it is written the ways you said it is then i should enjoy it very much thanks again.

*Quick question what is this IIRC Wow never thought of the notion of a vacuum that repels it self it is a new way to think about it,that is if it holds and water. I am sure there is some technical reason that it is still call it a constant or it just stuck.

Sorry about being the second person to post this i try to look through the old threads and do a search but i don't go back any more then 3 pages.

Found some new info on Dark Energy and its possible existence Have a listen and Let me Know what you think. http://earideas.com/earideas/explore/show/60159/Study+Shines+Light+On+Existence+of+Dark+Energy *Scroll down mid page hit play button /adjust volume

Found this video after i heard about it on NPR's science Friday, its an informative LHC Rap thought some of you may enjoy. http://life.calit2.net/archives/2008/08/the-cern-large-hydron-collider.php

Trying to figure out who moved the two original posts from my thread to this new one, if you can you please send me a private message would really appreciate it.

Yes, i agree with the post above i not sure what topic you are on, it dose not relate to my original post in anyway. My post is about trying to understand why most diagrams show the space-cure in one direction on a d-2 plane, and not a 3-d ish observation on a plane at can give a better observation of just how much an object can warp space time. Also i have to disagree with your statement abut Einstein being the only scientist to use his mind to think through experiments without being testable and the use of theses theory's until they were testable. In fact some of our greatest minds have used this same thought and experimenting process , Newton, Maxwell, Hawking and may others all have used this way of experimenting. I also have to use this same experimentation because i don't have a strong enough grasp on the mathematics nor the tools to test my theory. This doesn't mean that that our theory are wrong it just means that until they can be testable that are just theory's and that is in my opinion better then to not have given them any attention at all especially when something seems so all encompassing like String theory it is just to hard to ignore.

Thank you very much for your reply. That info helps a good deal, OK so now lets say we find this new particle, how dose this Help us fill the gaps for the theory of everything. How dose this join the Forces of the very small and the very large?

I have dose some research on string theory and particle accelerators and The theory of everything. Unfortunately after doing so i found that i had used up all the space i had left up in my brain. so here is my dilemma i would like to know exactly what it is that will occur when the LHC comes back on line. After sends particles whirling at each other and then eventually smashing into one another creating tiny explosions. And after we collect the data from theses explosions. what exactly are they looking to discover that will "Hopefully" Make super string theory or M theory or whatever is the new theory on the block at the time, a viable and solution for the theory of everything combining everything from the very small to the very large. If you can please state you answers in every easy to understand statement, For i am still a mer Lepton and can not fully compute the far advanced language that you superior beings are talking in. Thanks

Thanks for you feed back, yes it must Be that 2-D plane with the 3-D object that keeps throwing me off. wish that the would just show it all in a 3-D format so that you can get the full visual effect of what is happening.

Having a Problem with warped space time Please tell me if i am wrong, in Books, mags, and on TV and videos i have seen the same diagram over and over again. they show a planet of large object that is warping the space time fabric like how a lead ball would warp the fabric of a trampoline. The Object warps the space time fabric in one Direction and that's it. My problem with this diagram is that in space there is no direction, you cant say this is up this is down and so fourth. Direction in space can only be relative, meaning you cant have direction until you make something your source of reference for direction. so i come to this conclusion since there is no direction is space, that when an object warps space time it must warp the space time fabric in all directions. The only diagram that i have ever seen that depicts what i am talking about is in the book the fabric of the cosmoses by Brian Greene. unfortunately he dose not talk about the Space time fabric being warped in all directions. so if i am correct then the poor/incomplete diagrams are the reason that i cant sleep at night thinking about minute details of diagrams would probably not bother anyone else. so i ask can you please tell me if i wrong or on the right track here,Thanks.
