follow-up question...if you were part of a scientific group from an advanced race, and decided to create a entity that had both a body and a soul for the entity...what would you use to make the soul and how would you implement it?

But I forgot something, you are talking about a early universe What if the universe is infinitely infinite and is here and has always been here, as a theoretical scientist you could agree that it is possible?!

Hello there! Hope you feel better soon!
I'm not learned in physics, but I do have a question if it's within your scope to answer.
Are all of these super colider experiments aiming at creating something of use (alternate power source, a new space age way to travel, etc.) or are they just for knowledge and fun? Also, what kind of bad could happen when these experiments go awry?
Thanks for any light you can shine on these questions, and welcome!

My dad and I have built old hot rods since I was a kid. We see these stories on vehicles that can run on distilled water. From what I understand from what science I do know (which is a few years of university biology only) some of the theories seem like they could be feasible. I'm not going to "buy" one of these systems over the internet, but with my mechanical experience, I wonder....do you think that this is something that is entirely feasible? And could a couple of "hot rodders" build one, without much ``science`` backgrounds?

Nothing, they don't exist.
String theory is definitely correct. It's not a "speculative" or "controversial" theory.
There are no other theories that does what string theory can do.
The same way I am sure there is no super-advanced arithmetic that the government is keeping from us! Simply, I know enough arithmetic to know what that would mean that that it is not a sensible claim to make.
There's really very little going on here. It's no different than water waves moving through two slits and making an interference pattern on a wall (you can do this in the bathtub!). The only difference is that the waves are probability waves instead of physical water waves. That's okay, though, there's nothing strange about that.
It's a little funny that when you "measure" it you don't see the interference, but it turns out that nothing funny is actually going on. What really has happened is something like "now the waves have gotten really narrow" and, for example, a really narrow water wave has no trouble passing through a single wide slit!
The only place something interesting happens is in the "measurement." It turns out--unlike what you read on these forums (and many other places!)--that this is just a convenient abstraction and doesn't mean anything special. It's just an arbitrary distinction between "before" and "after" that turns out is useful to make mathematically.
What is really going on is that interactions between particles "in the system" (arbitrary distinction) effect "the environment" (arbitrary distinction) in a way that causes the wave to become skinny ("localized").
So the wave-like-ness is just the fact that probability distributions can be broad (pass through both slits at once) and the particle-like-ness is the fact that the probability distribution can be narrow (fits through just one slit).
Nothing special at all!
Science is about details, not vague generalities. And getting the details right does make it right, by definition. To really understand what this means you should learn some symbolic logic!

Does string theory really predict multiple dimensions? If so, would these be the types of dymensions to harbour life, as ours does? Do you see a possability of communication or travel between dimensions?
The big bang...... they said on TV that a few secconds after the big bang the universe was already thousands of light years accross. How is this possible if nothing can travel faster than light? Surely it would have deen no larger then a few light secconds accross after that time? I personally don't beleive there ever was a big bang!

Actually, my skepticism is pretty much confirmed by the failure of the double slit experiment explanation...
almost had it right...however, the collapse of the wave into a matter behavior came from the photonic interaction...
(literally, observing did alter the state...but not magically..the photons created a reaction to the wave)...that is how it is explained in QP circles..not a narrowing of the wavelength.

Or a particle that accounts for the gravity force
