Hawking's Information Paradox solution

There is no way for you to know you silly little 4 dimensional beast. But unlike you god can travel through time (among other dimensions) and can see the teacup before it was destroyed so no information was lost to god. 10 dimensional beings have their privileges.Have you seen this?

Sounds a bit close minded cavediver. I like to think that it's possible, but not proven, and probably not likely to be proven anytime soon by the human race. "Pure bollocks" would be more appropriate for something completely disproven or out of the realm of possibility. This at least makes mathematical sense. But then the latest video game is all mathematically based as well but has no basis in reality so who knows.

I was not trying to pass off my beliefs as physics. Simply beliefs. Yes you may call it religion, but it's no more a religion than String Theory is at this point is it? I mean I can no more prove that >4 dimensions follow the guidelines on that site any more than you can prove that they follow String Theory or M-Theory.Also just because you can make up a nonsensical theory of sploorions doesn't make my statements or theories non sensical.Furthermore your assertion that String Theory is based on precise mathematics says absolutely nothing of it's validity any more than a drawing made in a CAD program. i can draw an impossible shape all based on precise mathematics but that certainly doesn't make it real now does it?I submit that not only must that site be taken as faith but the theories such as M-Theory at the forefront of physics as well. For now at least

For the same reason you and many others discuss theories or hypotheses that have yet to be proven. Actually they do have such a disclaimer somewhere on their site, perhaps you missed it. Because if you believe that they are more correct than the theories posted on that site or by me, you're either going to have to show some sort of evidence as to why you believe so, or admit your beliefs are faith based. If you have faith in the mathematics, say so but don't tell me that just because there are mathematical equations involved that it must be real. Did you understand what I meant with the CAD example? Mathematics does not prove a theory describes reality.

Again, I am not passing my ideas off as science or as fact, unlike yourself, who continues to call string theory science and implies that somehow it is any more factual than any other set of beliefs that aren't nonsensical. I question whether it is so, or merely a set of beliefs if it cannot be proven.My question remains unanswered: Is string theory testable and therefore science, or is it untestable and therefore merely a set of ideas, a belief if you will? So is string theory really a theory in the true sense of the word, or is it really only a hypothesis? Sure I'd love to hear that as well, especially if it ties in to my previous question of whether it is testable or not. It seems as if we do need a purely string theory based thread.Edited by Calypso, : No reason given.Edited by Calypso, : typos etc.

"To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean,
to ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and living,
in search of the answers of questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing,
part of beginning to understand..." Calypso by John Denver
