    Lisa says:
    going to make this a topic
    Mike says:
    lol where
    Lisa says:
    RC
    Mike says:
    =P
    Lisa says:
    "Mike stays up for 2 days and cracks string theory"
    Mike says:
    lol
    Lisa says:
    I took a heap of speed once and ended up laying in my bed for 2 days trying to crack string theory
    Mike says:
    lol
    I don't believe in string theory =P
    Lisa says:
    I do
    Mike says:
    i guess i haven't really looked in to it that much
    seemed kind of like they just assumed the existence of said strings to make things convenient for them
    to fit the calculations together
    Lisa says:
    well what do you suppose he smallest parts of the universe are made out of?
    Mike says:
    tangles of space itself
    Lisa says:
    then what makes up the matter?
    Mike says:
    those tangles group together somehow, perhaps just out of some underlying mechanic of spacetime's geometry, to form quarks
    Lisa says:
    perhaps vibrating straings of energy?
    strings
    Mike says:
    idk lol =P
    Lisa says:

    Mike says:
    i thought of the grid of space itself being created by photons as they pass through it, and some lingering energy left by the photons is left behind as dark energy, forming a backbone for space
    doesnt really fit in though with what i said earlier =\
    all just speculation though eh im far from a physicist
    Lisa says:
    me either
    but they say now that space has it's own "stuff" and how stauff reacts when it passes through it determins what it is
    Mike says:
    that would explain why the universe is accelerating outwards though, if the grid of "space" is created by lingering photons which passed through it, then those linger photons would still eventually disperse outwards and carrying the grid of space along with them, creating the observed effect of acceleration for all matter in the universe
    Lisa says:
    yeah, that is possible I reckon
    Mike says:
    scary though, if everything keeps accelerating, everything will be destroyed in a few quadrillion years
    maybe starting again then after that
    as a new universe
    Wait
    Lisa says:
    lol
    Mike says:
    if higgs bosons can be created through the collision of matter, then all matter accelerating outwards like that to the point of the speed of light might create higgs bosons upon annihilation and start over the universe again
    err i dont know
    Lisa says:
    I don;t know either
    Mike says:
    gotta research it more
    does anyone even know if its a good idea to even be fucking with higgs bosons? lol, could be throwing off some kind of hidden mechanics to the universe that we arent even aware of yet
    Lisa says:
    lol, we are going to do it anyway
    Mike says:
    man oh man theoretical physics is too hard to come up with your own conclusions about, because you can formulate all sorts of theories that are potentially accurate but then have to arduously do the math and calculations to verify/dismiss it
    Lisa says:
    well you don;t need to know maths to come up with theories
    if you have some basic idea of phsyics, like just how things work, and if you start thinking about it you can come up with reasonable theories
    Mike says:
    yeah but like, the varying theories regarding mass generation are all completely different -- some involve the inclusion of gravity, others dont, and only one of those theories is correct. And that's all the math physicists have been doing, trying to prove one
    like, they're all pretty valid, but in order to know the correct one we gotta do the math =P
    Lisa says:
    they could all well be wrong too
    Mike says:
    yeah
    Lisa says:
    all you need to do is look back in time at things we used to consider fact and then hundreds of years later we know they aren;t facts
    once we thought the earth was flat
    Mike says:
    but think though, they proposed a hypothetical boson with certain properties, and then just found a boson matching all those properties... I don't think they could be wrong at this point
    Lisa says:
    and that the sun and everything revolved around the earh
    *earth
    I don;t think they are wrong
    Mike says:
    yeah
    Lisa says:
    theya re building a more accurate collider, the CERN one is very random but they like it random so that they can capture and discover new things, the new one will be more accurate so that they can capture more specific particles
    Mike says:
    sweet
    ever think how this planet is actually kinda small?
    Lisa says:
    so instead of randomly waiting for a collision that lets you capture the higgs boson for examople, they can set it up so that the collision WILL produce that result
    it's tiny
    Mike says:
    yeah
    like, even just going off google earth, and seeing how big cities are from space, its a small world
