Re: Ðикола 
"Eliakim,
I really can't address the entire post because, frankly, it starts out by stating how unreliable science is by referencing Michio Kaku in a positive light, a very mainstream physicist, and using his ideas as support for the proposition that science is somehow flawed."
---------------------------------------------------------
I reference Kaku (as I do all mainstream science) as inherently flawed. In this particular instance, I reference him in a positive light only in respect to the fact that he represents mainstream physics (and is, in fact, a kind of poster boy for science) and, therefore, a positive example to show just how flawed the system is--especially since he has a "little" axe to grind regarding how "eastern thought" may have been more correct about the "genesis event" and that this new paradigm may toss out ALL established thought in both science AND religion. That is not my conclusion. That is his.
Now, when I say "flawed", I mean it in the sense that the Standard Model can give us a great deal of success regardless of the fact that it cannot reconcile Microcosm with Macrocosm. In the words of a famous physicist, (and I paraphrase), there is an "aesthetic flaw" with the Standard Model and a strong feeling that it is not "beautiful". Also, in spite of the fact that the math is very "elegant", the fact is: we cannot make these formulae "fly".
Personally, I don't believe for a minute in the many-worlds hypothesis, nor the multiverse--not only for the lack of verifiable proof, but also because it is not beautiful and is chaos leading to an infinite number of variables. Even Einstein did not like the "god'throwing dice" analogy.
"Quantum physics is a wave/particle theory. General relativity, at least as it appliies to gravity and light, is a wave theory. Neither theory is strictly a particle theory. So the proposition that "the entire system based on particles" is false on its face thus making the rest of the argument somewhat irrelevent."
----------------------------------------------------------------
You're getting a little picky here so lets just say that the science is called "particle physics". The bottom line is that it is about MATTER. Whether wave or particle, it is about the effect of matter ON matter. Spacetime is considered more of a reaction to the ACTION of matter and the forces that surround matter.
As far as Everett is concerned, to me he was just a nerd. I remember when he sequestered himself in his house for months at a time to work on the problem without any distractions. To me, the "distractions" tell us far more about physics (and time travel) because as soon as you take "life" out of the equation, you are a mere automaton, spewing equations as if they are the real deal and not seeing what the equations really represent. This is one of the main reasons that I did not pursue mathmatics. They are undeniably beautiful. They are extremely elegant. And, they are no "fun" at all. In this sense, I saw computer programming as much more "fun". I could make the program "fly".
I have made it clear from the beginning that I believe that the properties of "space" are what determine the properties of the fundamental forces as well as the properties of matter itself. The longer link I posted about monatomic particles had a section in it that stated that space was being viewed in a new light and that it has physical properties that are "malleable"--much like matter. It is the only "substance" that can be said to exist unbroken throughout the macroscopic AND the microscopic worlds. Non-local experiments have shown this to be the case whether we want to believe it or not. When faced with barriers, matter will always find the "space" to get through to meet its counterparts on the other side.
I'm sorry I gave you the impression that I was going the way of the multiverse theory. As a matter of fact, I am far more radical than that. I appreciate the value of science. To many, I am a science freak. To others I am a religious freak. (to others I'm just a freak). I have no problem reconciling one with the other (even being just a freak). During the 60's, the moniker of "freak" was a badge of honor. I'm much more conservative today (being a grandfather and great-grandfather), but I still have pride in being a freak (standing outside of the box.) We may not be a Type III civilization (which is a fantasy to me), and we may not be able to harness the energy of even a planet, we have a wonderfully made mind that, as a microcosm of the universe at large, we are as able to send a thought from one end of our "universe" to another and it requires but a spark of energy do accomplish it. We understand less about THAT process than we do of the universal processes--yet it flies nonetheless without much effort on our part. Galactic energy is not all that it is cracked up to be.
