@ Dandy

Wow... I was going to read all that but me brain committed harry karry after the first sentence... :D



Really?
What was so upsetting in "I didn't vote because my favourite theory isn't listed."?
 :D
All the best,

Nah... it wasn't "upsetting" more like "mind numbing"... :D

Anywhoo, "String Theory" is the biggest load of bullocks since my grannie had a theory about her thread collection... ;)

In this case I recommend to read a bit further into Heim theory - perhaps HT/EHT are more appealing to you than String theory...

I believe the Universe is held together by the force of annoyance, while the forces of happiness and bunnies counteract them. Thus I'm doing the universe a favor by being grumpy and miserable.

You may thank me now.

One of those inspired by Heim (among others) was Nassim Haramein. His website http://theresonanceproject.org/    has papers for laymen and scientists alike. If he is right (and the LHC may well establish this at least in part quite soon) then we need no weak or strong force at all. I like his way of looking at things, take a look if your interested.
Just for the record, I'm about half way through a BaSci(Hons) at the moment myself. It's an open degree with a lot of physics and astronomy (some astrobiology too), great fun.

Thanks for the link, mate!
I will read about that more in detail later on.
It certainly sounds interesting at a first glance.
But where did you get it from that he was inspired by Heim?
All the best,

Dandy

He mentioned it in one of his lectures, I only remembered because I looked up Heim afterwards. He mentioned a Russian physicist too but the name evades me. At the time he was talking about the scientists that inspired him being the ones that realized the "vacuum energy" was infinite or at least huge, rather than thinking of the vacuum as empty. Heim was of course, one of these. Haramein finds the way that most physicists simply ignore the vacuum energy ridiculous. So do I, for that matter, Einstein explicitly stated that the nature of the vacuum energy would have to be understood to give us a theory of everything.

Sorry what urks me is that everybody has missed the key fact that Hawking accidently uncovered Flat Dog Theory in his attempt to explain dimensions using the representation of a two dimensional dog.  In doing so he actually uncovered the conundrum of the universe. Such a beast would in fact fall apart because of the division of its body into two parts by it's digestive tract.  String theory Pfft.  Flat dog Theory is something you can really get your canines into...

What ?  no Pancakes..

String theory is the result of physicists 'dropping' acid. :rolleyes:
