Rufus,

Thanks for the thoughts on black holes. Anyway, I'm not sure if the universe is aethereal/ethereal. I believe we can explain entropy, antimatter-matter, blackholes-whiteholes, universal expansion... All by the idea of two universes.

Now, I'm not an expert so I don't know all about QM and it's math or how it should be explaine. All I know I've either read on the intern, or from these forums, or from a pair of books I've read... For example, Heisenberg's principle of indeterminacy is thatwe cannot know the position and momentum of a particle because our own measurement of it will alter these numbers (we measure this by fighting photons (light) at, for example, an electron). Chaos theory is not directly linked to QM but is an important theory for physics (and recent discoveries since the 80s to know have explained how we can use the theory to explain also biological, sociological, psycological... themes), starts from the idea of fractals (developed by Mandelbrot), which are mathematical objects with infinite measurement and yet a real finite length. For example, the coast of UK is infinite for fractals, because you can be getting better and more exact at the measurement by using smaller and smaller scales, for ever. Chaos theory studies systems which are unpredictable and unstable, which are extremelly hard to understand for they can't be known themeselves to be how they are (tough math is needed). For example, somke comming out a cigarret can be said to be a chaotic system. The thing speciallists deal with is to be able of explaining how to use math for prediciting the smoke's way, if we know that there are infinite possible ways (for they are) but a finite space-time. Strange attractors are also studied by chaos, but I can't explain them, although I do understand them.
