Eric, I do agree with you that infinity is the loophole in science that all unbelievers will jump through, however unless you have a mathematical solution of a new whole math, I see no way other than science's present positions to resolve this. As Dave stated, at 10^-43cm or h Planck's constant, as the smallest measurement possible by science, anything below this level, except possibly thermal linear fields, would have negligable influence on our finite universe, and using the Hawking decay model, nothing of consequence changes at the macro level. Thus, we are only left with the skeptics against science, at these rediculously inconsequential measures, however I do think it worthwhile to pursue the scientific directions of discovery toward closing this final loophole of science___any serious scientific ideas? And BTW, everything between 10^-43 and R^80[i think] the size of the estimated macro universe, we have absolute understanding[as far as science goes so far] of, through the absolutely accepted laws and principles of physics, by the physicists and mathematicians working on the incompleted problem areas. It isn't complete understanding yet, but then again, nothing is complete. As Dave said, "We do know what we know." We'll learn the rest in time...
Regards,
Lloyd

I have no interest in proving that science can not disprove God. I have no interest in finding fault with science.
I have every interest in furthering science.
Since when does an integrated understandig of finite, infinte, relative, and absolute not have anything to do with science?
There is obviously "something" going on Dave. Why isn't there absolutely nothing? Do you know? |
