I want teh kotor 3

Kotor 3: the revenge of the flying jedi dragons, brought to you by the number 4?

Saw Obsid was teason something, figured I should be back... Hi guys!

Thanks! A quick check tells me you were here long before me, but yeah, I know what you mean- I was a freshman in highschool when i joined here... Now I feel old... :lol:

Yup yup... Brown!

Yeah, sorry about your dog GD... Missed that one last night Thanks... Yup yup, somewhat unfortunately for my sleep schedule...

Or perhaps the longest not running...

This is the best thread I've ever seen here. You collectively win the internet.

Well, I didn't miss much on this front...

Nothing... I've missed trolling k3...

I came back. Finally. EDIT: And apparently Archie's the only one who left...

So aussieland finally did something good for the world... 'Bout damn time... Seriously though, mad props to the research team... And Krez, the thing with QFT is that it really only deals with special relativity, so it doesn't work with curvature and such... String theory does, but for the tme being it doesn't make a single goddamn experimental prediction, so it's not really a fully valid theory....

Definitely. The thing is, though, that its sure as hell NOT QM, so since GR requires determinism, I think those interpretations that fit in to that framework ought to be given special consideration.

Thread is tl;dr so I'll just say this: Spacetime isn't something that is believed in or not; that's the premise of religion, not science. Spacetime is real, but not necessarily in the sense that the table I'm writing this on is: it can't be seen, or felt. It merely is. We can measure it, and its effects- if that's an illusion, then your monk's right, but as far as I'm concerned he's wrong. As for the probabilistic/deterministic debate, we simply don't know enough about wavefunction-collapse yet to say anything definite. I personally think the notion of a probabilistic universe is a little far-fetched, but **** it, even if the universe is probabilistic, quantum effects go away on the macro scale, so its not all that unrealistic. Bohm (and for that matter, EPR [even if their math doesn't quite work, I'm talking about the idea here]) can't be ignored because Bohr said so- the math itself simply describes probabilities; it doesn't say absolutely that there is no way to determine which outcome will occur given knowledge of initial conditions. Remember, QM describes things as waves which in some sense can be described merely in terms of first-order derivatives and initial positions. Also, since GR correctly describes a larger group of situations [that we know absolutely have come to pass- i.e. star formation] it inherently ought to be given a deep, deep consideration.

I just got an iPad (typing this on it, so forgive typos)... The keyboard is meh, but eminently usable... The purpose if these tablets for the time being media consumption rather than creation- the screen is more for watching than typing , hence the inherent difficulty in typing on it... I loves it though... Also, it's shiny

Do you have tiger blood? I would if I was a millionare... I'd be banging 7 gram rocks, because that'd be how I'd roll. WINNING! The Vatican Assassin Warlock does not approve of your misquote.
