graybear13 Posted July 2 Posted July 2 "...I feel there is a fundamental point here. I feel helpless if I'm taken around a strange town of which I can't form a picture. We all need a mental map of the world showing where we are. Of course our picture will have many layers of which the physical description is only one. Nevertheless it is the bed rock on which all other structures are based. If we have secured the foundation, we have a measure of control over the higher levels. The physical laws that govern the universe are usually expressed in the form of mathematical equations. For most people , this has created a great barrier to understanding. But equations in physics are like the financial appendices to a budget: important if you are an accountant concerned with the details but unnecessary for general understanding of what is going on. The basic ideas in physics can be explained in words and pictures. I personally don't like equations: it is hard to keep track of all the term's in one's head and I find it cumbersome to to write them down(though I can do so on my computer using a language called TeX). I'm therefore always looking for ways to treat problems geometrically so I can see the answer in pictures, though that to has its difficulties: it is difficult enough to imagine objects in the three dimensions of space and one dimension time that we are used to, let alone the seven or more extra hidden dimensions that may be there, according to our unified theories of everything. Still, one can generally ignore most of these dimensions and and just picture things in the two or three dimensions that our brains are capable of visualizing. So I believe it is possible for everyone to understand the basic laws and forces that govern and shape the universe". STEVEN HAWKING Cambridge, July 28, 1997 It would be arrogant, if not absurd, to pretend that I singlehanded, could have put together a complete picture of the nature of the universe. That's your job. I'm merely here to point you in he right direction. You are barking up the wrong tree! Your big bang foundation is weak. My concepts are very simple and easy to understand if you would open your mind to them. No need for a complex specialist language yet. We can and I hope we will soon learn how to control earth's gravity and save ourselves. If not now when? -2
