But i was watching a program on discovery about the stars, dark matter, anti-materie and wormholes. I love the theories, but aren't they going too far? I was listening to a scientist, pressumably one of the smartest people of the world and he was talking nonsense. He was talking about alternate universes and that we can create them in the future with some device. My only question was, where do we leave another universe? Look, i know, i'm not so smart and we need people with vision. But where is the line between interesting theory and woohoo?? |
I don`t think you were able to accurately judge what you saw. Those Sciency tv series are made to amaze people and obviously only unimaginable things will blow the viewers mind. He was just speculating this has nothing to do with science and it isn`t how science works. That you can create another universe theoretically if this and that is correct are just logical conclusions based on the theories if you had some parameters fullfilled. Science is about small steps discovering the truth bit by bit and correcting theories constantly. Obviously scientist realize that they have something fundamentally wrong. Because they can`t bring relativity and quantum theory together eventhough both theories are proven 100 of times to be correct. Yet they play by totally different rules that have nothing to do with each other.
The multiverse theory is just a way to explain things were we haven`t found an answer and actually its one of the better theories out there. As it does explain quite alot. It would explain the uncertainty of the quantum states and why they act as irationally as they do. And some other things we saw in the background radiation inflation it would also explain why our universe is finetuned for life to emerge without having to use god as an explanation.
Also in what way is this discussion not suited for work ?
