The Intelligent People's Thread

I believe I included that in my final analysis of string theory last night when I was sitting on the toilet for a few hours... uggggghhhh.... string theory.  Why the hell is string theory so popular?  No one has a single reason why string theory should be any righter than any other model.  The Classical model and String model produce EXACTLY the same results for all experiments currently within the ability of the technologies avaliable today.  String theory gets all the attention, but there's absolutely nothing currently SUPPORTING IT!

I do say, this man is challenging everything you have done Atomic Rooster!

I second that

Bell's inequality has one fatal flaw: if entangled particles do in fact transmit data faster than the speed of light, then hidden variables continue to be a viable quantum theory.  Since no experimental data has shown that entanglement reacts at less than or equal to the speed of light, I continue to believe that hidden variables are possible and quite elegant.  Besides, Bell was working in support of the Copenhagen view, the single most uninspired, boring, unelegant idea the physics world has ever concieved.

If you can express that as a 5-point bulleted list, your in.

Ahh yes... I believe I included that in my final analysis of string theory last night when I was sitting on the toilet for a few hours...
