  1. How can we detect photons without mass ? In the experiment that was showing two photons hitting the detector when only 1 was fired through the slit, how did technology detect photons without mass to hit the detector ?
  2. Could a shadow ? http://www.phys.lsu.edu/faculty/pullin/sciam.pdf
  3. OP, yes I believe for our human minds it's "infinitely complex". We are resorted to best guesses.
  4. Could time possibly have a particle ?
  5. We currently have decent technology to insert foreign DNA into the genome of human cells (the newly developed CRISPR technology), so no need to turn to nanotechnology. However, understanding which genes allow the tardigrade genome allow it to survive extreme conditions and whether these traits could be transferred to other organisms with very different biology is not clear. Not all of biology is modular and can easily be transferred between organisms, especially properties that rely on the system-wide function of the organism. Tardigrades are not the only organism to be revived after long periods of time, so there may be different ways of achieving such properties. For example, plants have grown from 30,000 year old seeds: http://www.nature.com/news/wild-flower-blooms-again-after-30-000-years-on-ice-1.10069
  6. iPhone auto correct spelling, but yes back on point.
  7. http://gizmodo.com/frozen-tardigrade-brought-back-to-life-after-30-years-1753152359 Sorry if this is the wrong place for this post am only posting to get a few good responses if possible . Is there any way we could extract the properties in the gnome of the tardigrade and genetically engineer them inside of our own gnome ? Nanotechnology could be instructed to implement the genes ?. If we could we could probably stay alive through space travel. If anybody is doing there A-Levels don't listen to what I am saying.
  8. Maybe we think it's infinite because we can't reach further than space.
  9. I understand what your saying, maybe this wasn't the best thread on a Science forum. Your also right in saying I know less about physics than a professional scientist, on the other hand I still know enough about physics to grasp the concept of every book I have ever read on physics. I consider this closed.
  10. No argument, I just thought my topic/links where worthy of a talk about. My point was simple, in my 1st post I had no tangible evidence, the other day I stumbled across this article and it explains in depth how things we thought impossible become possible. Credible scientists, years of research put into this. It's as credible as anything we know about physics.
  11. You could try running in the opposite direction ??
  12. What I think is interesting is like in my original post I spoke very briefly spoke about a world that we as humans cannot fathom possible. These articles cutting a very long story short bring to light more "scientists" that agree that there are things we cannot think possible. Our brains can only go so far (think Steven Hawkins said something similar). If you read the articles you would know what I mean. It goes on to talk about the divide in intelligence from a chimp to a human, just like it has been proven impossible for a chimp to understand certain things like agriculture it's equally impossible for a ASI to explain certain things it might know to a human. The divide from ASI to humans could be equivalent to a human trying to teach a ant how life works. It's probably not directly connected to my 1st post but it's still a world that nobody can imagine possible, I didn't start a new thread because I didn't want to have two very unpopular threads lol.
  13. You never read the full two articles so I'd say you are in no position to say what is relevant to this thread.
