Here are some polls to consider:

Here are some polls a member might consider posting:

How do you think quantum theory and general relativity will integrated?

1) With a new mathematical model not yet developed
2) With a new approach of thought, similar to Einsteins Gedanken
3) With existing mathematical tools brought forward in a new way
4) With the study of blackhole radiation
5) With the study of photon energy levels moving through a gravity well

What do you think the fact that all galaxies and deep space objects are further red shifted the further away they are?

1) That we occupy the center of the universe
2) That the universe is expanding uniformly
3) That there is a process which causes red shifting unrelated to relative velocities
4) That the notion of velocity, with change of space over time needs to be inverted and that spatial movement remains fixed but time is contracting further away

Do you think tachyons exist?
1) No
2) Yes, but they will never be detected
3) Yes, they will be used for deep space communication but not communicating backwards through time
4) Yes, they will be used for communicating backwards through time


Do you believe the universe is fundamentally a mathematical object, or that our mathematics represents an approximation to reality?

1) The universe is a mathematical object which we will be able to fully represent
2) We only can approximate the universe with our mathematics
3) The universe is a mathematical object but we will never develop the mathematics to represent it
4) The universe is not mathematical, and the physicists ignore anything which does not match up with their mathematical solutions

When do you think cold fusion will be a viable economic way to produce energy?

1) Never
2) Within 5 years
3) Within 20 years
4) Within 100 years
5) After 100 years

Do you think the theory of everything will come from within the existing scientific establishment?

1) Yes
2) No, existing science devotes the most resources to the most obvious candidates for research, and it will have to be more original than this
3) No, existing science exists primarily to generate grants for those employed by the profession, not to further scientific thought
4) No, there will never be a theory of everything

Those are interesting themes for polls. You should post one or two. I think I'll post a poll soon, but I'm not sure of what about, maybe one of yours.

By the way, what are tachyons????

TinyTree;
Fascinating set of questions. I'm sure you have already answered them for yourself but if you would like to compare yours to those of another, I'll give it a bit of a go.

How do you think quantum theory and general relativity will integrated?

If you combine 2 & 3, a solution will involve a paradigm shift of our thinking that will allow the proper interpretation of the numbers and terms of measure.

What do you think the fact that all galaxies and deep space objects are further red shifted the further away they are?

Remove the word "uniformly" from #2 and take into account Hubble's constant.

Do you think tachyons exist?

Absolutely without doubt NO !!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you believe the universe is fundamentally a mathematical object, or that our mathematics represents an approximation to reality?

2) We only can approximate the universe with our mathematics
There will always exist the "Final Question": Did existence come into being or has existence been eternal?

When do you think cold fusion will be a viable economic way to produce energy?

3) Within 20 years After the TOE is realized. Antigravity propulsion will also evolve in this time.

Do you think the theory of everything will come from within the existing scientific establishment?

NO covers the answer, however;
If the TOE is not required to account for the absurd theological notions of the human species, it will be found outside the mainstream, but in all likelihood will be stolen and claimed by some ambitious unethical scientist.


I hope you meant these questions with some level of humor.
