  1. Re:monkeys on Six Monkeys And An Old Saw · · Score: 1

    Speaking of Monkeys and Copyrights...

    Eminem refused to grant Wierd Al permission to parody Lose Yourself.

    I thought "Odds are the copyright holder will think it's okay if the parody isn't radically controversial" just kind of needed to be illustrated. Even though it's the original artist that is controversial the idea applies.

  2. Crighton who? on Search for the Missing Universe · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Okay, check this out. Thomas Young proved around 1801 that light was a wave using a double slit experiment in which light created an interference pattern. However he was flooding photons into it. In 1989 this experiment was done again with a twist. Only one photon at a time was sent into the detection area, but the same pattern emerges. So what is causing the interference? And couldn't this interference also explain why we "think" 90% of the universe is missing? Couldn't it simply be just a macro scale effect. I leave you with references other than Michael Crighton: http://www.fnal.gov/pub/inquiring/questions/light_ dual.html http://physicsweb.org/article/world/15/9/1 I might have only a passing interest in science, but I do try to discern between legitimate sources and science fiction. As Dirac is said to state that each photon is interfering with itself it has also been postulated by multiverse theorists (such as David Deutsch) that the interference is coming from photons in parallel universes. Since we really don't have a complete understanding of quantum mechanics couldn't it be possible that the so called "missing" 90% is just the effect that parallel universes are exerting on this universe?

  3. 90% smells funny on Search for the Missing Universe · · Score: 1

    Please, Correct the ignorance you are about to witness. Could the missing 90% simply be parallel universes affecting the "known" universe like in that photon experiment? I apologize for my lack of information on this subject. This is only a curiosity to me since I would die many thousands of times before the nature of the universe would ever challenge my existance.
