Is it normal to be addicted to physics theores like quantum mechanics?

i see videos of lectures that explain the relativity theory the string theory the 4rth dimension and thinks like that all the time and i want to ask is it normal by your opinion?

  • In IIN the theory of relativity only applies to incest.

    The key thing about string theory is the word "theory". My first instinct was "that's a load of absolute bollocks". And that's still my instinct today. It's one of a series of supposed grand unifying theories and has only stuck around because there's been little experimental evidence to show how it relates to low-energy physics. As yet, it just doesn't.

    But this is the way physics works. It stumbles around for a bit, until the combined progress of independent physicists allows one of them to have a Eureka moment. Newton didn't really make a discovery based on an apple falling from a tree and it wasn't just Einstein sitting in a room, saying, "Oh, I understand it now".

    Don't get too caught up in theoretical physics. It's fun but nearly always badly flawed. The latest theory coming our way is that none of us exist corporeally but are projected into ourselves from the edge of the universe.

    Yeah, okay.

    Theoretical physics are the best kind, dappled. It leaves your mind to wander. It gives you something to think about differently and a tad deeper.
    Not just a bunch of hooplah eureka moments. If I misunderstood your comment, oops, if not, then ill stick with this.

    I'm a big fan of Michio Kaku. Nothing wrong with being white and nerdy.

    No but it is normal to improperly use the word "addicted."

    OMG I'm so addicted to clipping my toenails blah blah blah.

    ^ What? I have never heard of that last theory, what is it called?

      Check out this video (Horizon What is Reality). Truly fascinating. The bit about infinite parallel worlds blew my mind. That new hologram theory is featured towards the end

        I'd saw that when it was on and forget I'd even seen it. Much better explanation than the web page I found, and I'm also quite chuffed to be able to watch it again.

        Thank you. :)

        P.S. There was also a brief explanation in Brian Cox's latest series which was worth seeing.

      It's a bit too new to have a name yet. But essentially an Anglo-German project (GEO600) revealed some very strange results which seem to suggest that we are holograms being projected from a 2D surface (such as the edge of known space). Okay, I just found something which explains better than I can...

    ...that was intelligent til I saw the grade-4 grammar.
    P.S. Strong theory's nothing. There's some crazzy shit out there.
