  1. Well written, thank you. I disagree when you say space is fundamental while time is not, I think they are both non-fundamental. IMO the basic concept is an event (not necessarily motion as you seem to have). Two events may happen at the same time or one may happen after another and they may happen at the same point or they may happen separately. These are fundamental things while everything else, including space and time, are invented by man. One uses time to deal with events that happen one after another and space to classify events that do not occur at the same place. Are space and time different? Sure. Is it 3+1 not 4? Yes. But is space any more fundamental than time? No, I don't think so. They are equally non-fundamental.
  2. Why do you think so? I think those guys are quite aware of what you said and still claim the probability is low. Looks like a nice paper, I'll read it. Thanks iNow.
  3. Papers are published by the experiments, that is why everybody in the experiment gets on the author list and there are no first author papers. But I must admit you are right, papers are in fact written by actual people, not "the experiments" Wow, you got me there buddy. Good job
  4. What do you mean? Fermilab has published hundreds of papers(well not Fermilab but its experiments). And I just noticed in the paper mentined above they study e+ e- collisions not p+ p- so its not Fermilab. Sorry... To stay on topic another cool fact: "stewardess" is the longest word you type with left hand only.
  5. In large collaborations when any paper gets published everybody in that collaboration gets on the author list even though most of them have probably never even read it. That one was probably published by one of Fermilab's experiments.
  6. By real cell I mean a cell that can evolve into a human being(and everything else). As I said I've read stuff which said the probability for the first cell assembling was basically 0 and I had some ideas(non-creationist) to still "explain" the emerging of life against all odds. But if the probability is in fact nonzero than my ideas are irrelevant.
  7. But is it certain that if we have proteins we will definitely get a real cell?
  8. I want to discuss it further, this is something I've been wondering about. So, I understand it resulted from chemistry, but what is the possibility of that? I googled a little and found some websites where it said the possibility is extremely small, is it really so? If it is then how come life still emerged?
