Hi:
Hey, I thought we were on the philosophy of science...maybe even
philosophy! You really had some interesting thoughts!
Scientifically I'm interested in verification
of concepts from the field and the technology which comes from a better
understanding of the universe. We both "know" the equivalence
proportion! (E=mc squared)
That formula is the only mathematical expression known commonly
by people on the street, but one scientist referred to it a little "devil"
it is so conceptually complex.
I'm excited. We have a gang of people at Cern
right now who are determined to find out where all the antimatter is- or
what happened to it. The fact that the speed of light is measured the same
in a vacuum regardless of the motion of the source or observer tells us
something about cosmic reality. So does the 43 Arc Seconds of precession
in Mercury's orbit each century which cannot be accounted for by Newtonian
mechanics. Flat space says something about the dimensional nature of
cosmic reality, as does acceleration outward.
When all the pieces are assembled, I think the S7 dual universe will come out smelling like a rose, but scientific
disputes are settled in the field. My opinion and 25 cents without proper
verification will buy me a cup of coffee.
Nevertheless, lets not forget the point of my
original note; OBSERVATION of the universe is the core of the scientific
method- and even scientists can be occasionally caught guilty of "not
looking".
Best Wishes, Sam Cox
A problem in cosmology is that it rather
demands a comprehensive understanding of everything. A detailed
understanding of so many scientific disciplines is involved, any serious
cosmologist always winds up looking silly about something. However if
the concept is sound, further investigation will bolster and further
substantiate his idea.
