Actually the fork tips radius is typically too large for anything bad to occur, whereas if you fold aluminium, the local radius is like the size of a hair radius, hence the difference.

[Mcdonalds]

What are your plans for the 2016 election?

[Col. Khaddafi]

To continue exposing and fighting moral corruption. Specially on Internet. #TireGate

Our Children's minds are being poisoned with filth and corruption, and this aggression will not stand.

[Mcdonalds]

How do you plan to address the army if reddit ninjas?

[Col. Khaddafi]

enroll them in the Great Crusade against Internet Moral Corruption. Everyone can help.

[Mcdonalds]

Y'know for a mad scientist turned internet terrorist, your not very maniacal

[Zooligan]

I thought he said "manicurial"

[Blackhound]

the suns magnetic field has increased by a 130% over the past 100 years.

Why.

[Manders]

To continue exposing and fighting moral corruption. Specially on Internet. #TireGate

Our Children's minds are being poisoned with filth and corruption, and this aggression will not stand.

Now that 2016 is upon us and the human embodiment of moral corruption has thrown his hat into the battle for President of the United States, will you be amending this stance? Or do you have new plans?

If they involve a public tar-and-feathering of THE DONALD, can I help?

[( G_R )]

A great help

[Blackhound]

any idea on what was before the big bang ?

[Blackhound]

were the fuck did the matter and the anti matter come from in the first place.

[Stardust]

Energy.

[Col. Khaddafi]

God

[Stardust]

Like I said.

[Col. Khaddafi]

But seriously that's a great question, although impossible to answer in any way since time was born with the big bang itself.

It's the same than asked "why is there anything instead of nothing?"

[Col. Khaddafi]

Though the anthropic principle just answers that it doesn't matter since if there was nothing, there wouldn't be anyone capable of questioning why there is nothing instead of anything, therefore the question is superfluous. There is something and that's what we're at it.

[Stardust]

The anthropic principle is just a philosopher's way of saying philosophy is meaningless, which it is, but you don't need philosophy to tell you that.

To answer your question though, Blackhound, our best guess is that the universe is just one side of a spontaneous quantum creation. It's similar to how positrons and electrons are being created and destroyed before your eyes right this second, just on a much larger scale. It's already been shown that quantum-like fluctuations can explain the slight differences in intensity of the cosmic microwave background radiation (remnants of the Big Bang), so it's likely on the right track. Many scientists have taken that one step further to say that might explain the fact that our universe is basically 100% matter - a twin universe may have been created at the same time, made entirely of antimatter, just waiting to annihilate like that positron before you.

[Blackhound]

What are your thoughts on the Boltzmann Brain ?

[Stardust]

Quantum fluctuations require time-dependent histories of out-of-equilibrium recording devices, which are absent in stationary states.

[Blackhound]

Estimated time for random quantum fluctuations and quantum tunnelling to generate a new Big Bang.Because the total number of ways in which all the subatomic particles in the observable universe can be combined is 10 10 a number which, when multiplied by 10 10 10 56 disappears into the rounding error, this is also the time required for a quantum-tunnelled and quantum fluctuation-generated Big Bang to produce a new universe identical to our own, assuming that every new universe contained at least the same number of subatomic particles and obeyed laws of physics within the range predicted by string theory.

More simply, by this time the entire life cycle of the universe, from Big Bang to final energy state to rebirth, will have repeated the same number of times as all possible combinations of subatomic particles in the observable universe.

[Blackhound]

Discuss.

[Stardust]

When there is an infinite time to wait then anything that can happen, eventually will happen. Worse (or better) than that, it will happen infinitely often.

[Col. Khaddafi]

Maybe we should rename this thread to Stradust the Science Guy

[Stardust]

srsly

That's me.

[Mogadishu Jones]

Hey scumbag can you talk some about what it would take to travel into multiple planes of existence/dimensions, assuming such things exist?
