the cat is an example of the superposition principle not the uncertainty principle.

I wish I could have some peaceful place to work quietly but everywhere I go, there's rapists raping me and gangstalkers gangstalking me, and people electroshocking my penis, anus, butt crack, perineum, feet, and testicles with their short range EM transmitters in the rooms adjacent to my potential workplace. I have hardly a moment to think peacefully.

String theory is based on the idea that determinate physical trajectories look like strings when you draw them in spacetime. (They are lines.) Due to physics' Hamiltonian nature, the things the trajectories (strings) can do are only the higher dimensional analogues of what ordinary strings can do in classical mechanics. The only thing classical strings can do is vibrate so string theory says everything is like a little vibrating string. If physical systems weren't Hamiltonian then the strings could do other stuff besides vibrate. As far as any experiment has shown, however, physics is completely Hamiltonian meaning that all physical systems are described with single pair of conjugate variables: the generalized position and the generalized momentum.

>Photons don't exist.
I think you mean, "Individual photons are not perfectly described by wave-packets."

It is infinitely big. As the complement of a neighborhood of the origin, asking where it starts doesn't make sense. To answer that, it would have to be the complement of a set with a least upper bound. Any patch defined by a radius of the origin such that the radius is less than some natural number is said to be a patch in the neighborhood of the origin. The naturals have no supremum, so the complement doesn't have an infimum.

The universe is 13.799 +-.021 billion years old. The radius of the observable universe is 46.6 billion light years across. Nothing can travel faster than light. Something's not right here.

Probably not. Even if you examined the behavior for time in the neighborhood of infinity, its actually t - t_0 which contributes to physics rather than t by itself. For any physical amount of time, proton probably won't decay. It might for an unphysically long amount of time, but that is unphysical.

Time is that which clocks measure.

It's that the matter in the heat death state should still gravitate. Since a finite amount of time has passed since the big bang, and this is always true at any time or place in the universe, the separation of any matter-energy densities in the universe can be at most a finite number of meters. Gravity is a force with an infinite range so the heat death state should collapse to a singularity. This singularity was also the initial state but the entropy has gone from a minimum to a maximum, and that imposes a philosophical dilemma.

God is one of those people who sees that the big bang is clearly unphysical and doesn't see any need to say, "Big explosion!!!," instead of, "This region of the early universe is not accessible with modern telescopes."

interesting

In high school, I had my English teacher in 5th period and my friend had her in 3rd period. He paid me to write his paper. I wrote it, and then I edited to make it better and turned in the same paper as my own. He got a 95; I got a 76. When I was in college, I had two different professors give me a B final grade when I absolutely earned an A in English 1102 and Anthropology 1101. All three of these people that cheated me were women, and I also cheated at times to make my grades better. Making a cheat sheet is a good study activity, and it was rare that the cheat notes I created actually helped me on any tests. Overall, I think those two B's I got from those two freshman level stupid bitches hurt my GPA more than any of my cheat sheets helped it. I'm pretty sure actually: their cheating hurt me more than my own cheating helped me.

I've never once seen a criticism like, "Maybe your tone wasn't pleasing to them and that's why they rejected you." However, I have seen very many times, "Have you seen the absolute garbage that gets published every month? If your research isn't even that good then no wonder you didn't get published."

The reason garbage gets published is because it's all about the prose, not the science. The science matters, but not as much as the prose.

I think you should replace the phrase "big bang theory" with "big bang conjecture" and then also change the acronym.
