**************************************************** Shoshine, all, I haven't forgotten, this is a busy week/weekend... **************************************************** Anything you've got to say I'm interested in. M-Strings sound as profound as finding the COBE background radiation...

I say don't worry too much about what you choose. College is strictly to start you learning where your general stengths are. For example, you might think you're a great writer or have a great memory but actually you're outstanding in mathematics or management or whatever. I've switched...

Btw, I assume you guys all read that they found empty chemical warheads in Iraq. Saddam's time is running out: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=540&e=1&u=/ap/20030117/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq

************************************************* We are defending ourselves against Iraq because the oil that is the engine of the world's growth and our national security is concentrated in Saddam's backyard. ************************************************* Are you saying that you believe...

fyi: Every question that I had above was answered in one or other of the Advanced articles (in a highly mathematical way).

Thx for the link. Have you seen http://superstringtheory.com ? Great articles.

Sorry - here's another one: why do we have 5 string theories that seem to work? How does M-theory make that okay?

I've got a number of questions about what you just wrote, but I certainly don't want to coax you into your longest post. I heard a lecture just a few years ago about the various sting theories, so I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous. First question: what do they mean by "coupling...

No problem - I wasn't clear. But then it's hard to be clear in a few sentences. I just wanted to emphasize in the long term it will be a gross mistake to have action without communication and well thought out policy. What's sad to me (and this will date me) is that I can remember the first...

Sounds terrifying - I'm glad I missed it. You know that a lion can rip the skull off a gazelle with one bite. But is there anything so graphic as a scientific explanation of the fact?

Buffett's been right about everything else, I'm sure he'll be right on that one as well. And practically speaking, what's the difference in the fear factor between several dirty bombs and one suitcase nuke?? Mosquito Coast - here I come!

I'm not saying the end justifies the means, but I believe that, strangely enough, such a policy is the only hope to preserve our freedoms as we know it. If nuclear weapons spread throughout the globe, eventually they will be detonated within our borders. A simple dirty bomb is bad enough...

The only thing that I worry about is that future backpressure from the int'l community could be placed on us to slowly disarm which would imo leave our national security vulnerable. But one thing at a time I guess.

I don't think it has anything to do with #1-4 actually. You nailed the real issue in what you said: I think Bush has a No Nukes policy. But why can't he and a few of the other nuclear countries just boldly state that as a new global policy? Why doesn't Bush simply state "no new countries can...

************************************************** How about "This is a nasty guy who hates us and possibly has nukes/biological weapons, has used chemical weapons to kill thousands of his own people, and would possibly supply terrorists with those weapons to use against American civilians"...

************************************************** It might be like a man trying to understand woman and woman trying to understand men... We just might know but we don't realize it... ************************************************** I'm not sure I want to understand that one. I'd...

What I have read is that if there are alternate universes, then information cannot pass between any two of them. But maybe M-theory will modify that? What I cannot imagine is how anything can merge two seemingly disparate phenomenon as gravity and quantum mechanics. I'm sure that will be...

Yes, but what kills me about reading this stuff is that I'm dying to see the mathematics behind it. While I appreciate the high-level summaries and commentary, I want to see exactly what they mean by equivalence, etc. I have the feeling that one cannot possibly appreciate all this w/o seeing...

Nevermind - just answered my own question.

Interesting link. Question: does string (or should I say M-string) theory delve into/deal with the Quantum world?
