  1. This is what I basically conveyed, but someone said I was of-topic for whatever reason.
  2. I second ajb Also, I feel that people try to couple qm and cm as if "because particles behave this way... then the macroscopic world must do that as well". I don't entirely agree with that disposition. QM and CM are two separate worlds where not everything is to be taken at face-value.
  3. I am an undergrad currently and am starting my physics class this semester, so I am not as well-versed as a PhD, obviously, but have been studying physics on my own the past three years. I have a theory that requires phD-quality help so that I can continue to shape it... or toss it in the garbage. I cannot mathematically describe this theory yet as it is something completely new and I haven' t had math for physics. Here it goes: It is my firm belief that M-Theory is not a very good candidate for the theory of everything for many reasons. It starts at the high, unobservable, currently untestable energies. The math is elegant in some ways, but I believe they are getting lost in it. The geometries are also very fickle. There are new dimensions added every time the math calls for it. In pertubative string theory, the topologies are wrong. We have diverging values that exceed the Planck length which cannot happen on a Planck scale, obviously. Thus, I believe a background-independent theory (Causal dynamical triangulation to M theory or LQG) might be better candidates. However, is it possible that we are hitting dead-ends and holes in our research because we are starting to theorize from the present conditions of the universe? What if we were somehow able to analyze conditions at Planck time (10^-43 s) and move forward from there? It is my hypothesis that Quark-Gluon plasma may have a key to understanding how the four fundamental forces evolved over time and began to "take shape". For example, in general relativity (a problem we have been having in uniting with quantum mechanics) you need mass, energy and light (E=MC^2). Since Q-GP was a plasma at trillions of degrees in the inital stages of the big bang, wouldn't that mean the force of gravity could be evolved after the first three (weak,strong,emag)? OR could it mean that gravity is solely an after-effect of emag? So many questions... Anyway, I think QGP is way more important than we seem to realize at this point in time. Further analyzing in cryogenics (gradual, extreme cooling effects) could show us how the universe and the four fundamnetal forces evolved it over time. Thus, it would be a much easier way of going about uniting them. What is your take on this? I'm open to all constructive criticism - this is science after all.
  4. Negative. In Heisenberg's time, there was no technology to more accurately measure things in the quantum world. There will still always be an uncertainty with any measurement macro or micro in scale. For example, electrons have a 90% probability of being located in a certain energy level around the atom. There will still be a level of uncertainty after disturbing or exciting the electron with a photon beam. Another example on a macro scale, I can put a penny on a scale an each time the scale will read differently for many reasons. There are no exact measurements. There will always be a deviation even though today we may be able to measure it more accurately.
