Some of these statements may seem controversial to laymen or even subpar physicists. They are not controversial among actually competent researchers at all.

This is true.

Neither of these interpretations suffice to explain the self interaction of particles in the DS experiment or the Scarnhorst effect. They are also mutually exclusive with the claim that Nature isn't deterministic.
>> String Theory is very likely the correct general approach for the theory of high energy quantum gravity (and also other forces, otherwise known as the Theory of Everything).
String theory is one of several candidate theories that are all equally untestable while making similar predictions. Presenting your pet theory as superior or correct is unscientific, even though I also favor it.
>> Cosmic Inflation is likely the actual mechanism behind The Big Bang.
This is a non-statement as it leaves the reasons for inflation undefined. Did you mean to talk about dark energy, the curvature of spacetime or the cosmological constant?

>Nature is inherently continuous. Discrete theories or theories based on cellular automata-like or pixel-like concepts are blatant pseudoscience.
Apart from the fact that there are cool theories of non-commutative geometry which have no points as such, underlying this statement is a weird conviction of "naive" realism. There's no good reason to be biased against the idea that physics models we are able to describe would ever directly correspond to the world. The map (our language, math and theories), doesn't have to be the territory. You can guess that people will never find a physics theory of non-continuous structures and so there would not be a good non-continuous theory - but this doesn't mean that >>Nature is inherently continuous
We may not be able to come up with and word that has a correspondence to nature - just like Force or Temperature are found to be accumulations of smaller scale notions. We may only ever be able to speak in terms of coarse notions. Turtles all the way down.

Surprisingly I don't take offense with your other assertions.
Although in

I'm skeptical that either of those notions are good concepts (from the perspective of some human like physicist and his theories in 10,000 years.)

Eeeh, only under a somewhat narrow and restrictive sense of "energy." The Landau-Lifshitz pseudotensor provides a perfectly valid and consistent way of restoring a conserved Noether current corresponding to energy-momentum.
GR doesn't really break energy conservation, it just shows that our pre-geometrodynamic conception of energy needed a bit of revising.
LL is the unique construction satisfying the requirements to be in the spirit of GR, like satisfying the equivalence principle and deriving only from the metric.
The rest is based though

I got two questions:
> Conservation of Energy is just a good low energy approximation

How is conservation of energy related to the energy scale (here: low energy approximation)? I thought it not being conserved in GR was independent of scale.

Seconde question, I only know of Noethers theorem for theories that have a Lagrangian description. Does it also hold for theories which dont admit a Lagrangian?

Very wrong. String theory is the worst we have so far. It only shifts questions we have to different, less intuitive questions. Example: why are there three generations of fundamental particles? String theory: Because there are 3 odd-dimensional "holes" in the Calabi-Yau manifolds attached to each point in spacetime.
It's also not falsifiable (unless you mean m-theory, which needs SUSY).

Look at the hydrogen atom, the quantization comes from the bound states, but when you have sufficiently large energy you go back to a continuous spectrum. That's how you can get a discrete spectrum win a continuous problem: having a potential that has bound states.

nope. entangled particles influence each other's positions faster than light, through the pilot wave. thus the nature is nonlocal and realistic. this picture is compatible with relativity, simply because any entangled particles must first traverse the distance slower than light.

>Gödel's rotating universe, one of the solutions to Einstein's equations, violate Mach's principle. Not all the solutions of GR are Machian.
All current 'solutions' to Einstein's equations are partial solutions achieved by zeroing other parts of the field equations to make them easier. No one has ever solved them in totality, that is, no one has found the structure that satisfies them all. This structure would be our own Universe provided that Einstein's formulation was correct. The partial solutions are still useful because they can describe limited cases in the Universe or describe certain extreme scenarios, but the final solution is likely to have all properties our Universe has, including Mach's principle.

This is the daily cold war thread.

Platonic idealism vs dialectical materialism

Continuous universe vs discrete universe

Free will vs determinism

Established dogma vs based sperglords

Glow niggers vs Commie bastards

There is a conspiracy, singular, to enforce ignorance about the true nature of the cosmos.
Because knowledge is power.

Disinformation is an extremely effective method of control in this domain.

Take the premises into consideration, and see if you follow the conclusion.
1. There are groups and individuals with motive and opportunity to suppress education in physical science.
2. If the cost of suppression is lower than the profit of exploitation, knowledge is suppressed.
In conclusion, there is conspiracy to suppress education in physical sciences.

Only in the realm of mathematics can you understand a prophetic and precise view of the future. Thus: first, we postulate any number of point-dimensions in space. (This is the classic n-fold extended aggregate of n dimensions.) With this framework, time as commonly understood becomes an aggregate of one-dimensional properties. Applying this to the prophetic phenomenon, we find that we either are confronted by new properties of time or (by reduction through the infinity calculus) we are dealing with separate systems which contain n body properties. For the known prophets, we assume the latter. As demonstrated by the reduction, the point dimensions of the n-fold can only have separate existence within different frameworks of time. Separate dimensions of time are thus demonstrated to coexist. This being the inescapable case, our prophet's predictions require that he perceive the n-fold not as extended aggregate but as an operation within a single framework. In effect, he froze his universe into that one framework which was his view of time. This is the hack of the quantum phenomena and allows for a way a round probabilistic reality.

yup. but that does not mean there can be no FTL influence. depending on your QM interpretation's answer to bell's theorem, entangled particles could influence each other superluminally (instantaneously). this interpretation is compatible with all observations, even with relativity - because any entangled particles must first travel slower than light and entanglement is a one time trick, measuring destroys it. its as if laws of nature "conspire" to prevent actual superluminal communication even in the presence of superluminal entanglement influence.

Again, you're dumb. Do you know how a synchrotron works? Have particles go around a closed ring, with a magnet in the middle that increases in strength. You can make the magnet increase in strength fast enough such that, according to nonrelativistic physics, the particles should be accelerated to faster than FTL. But they aren't.
OR...
Did you know that, when radioactive isotopes decay, they shoot off particles at high speeds? So what you can do is fire a beam of radioactive particles very close to light speed, and as they decay, some particles will shoot off in front at a higher speed. According to nonrelativistic physics, some particles should end up moving much faster than light speed and you would detect them before light could reach. But you don't.

Unfortunately, this is not a logical conclusion. If, as we observe, particles get heavier as they approach the speed of light, or are otherwise impeded in their travel, then we would expect to see the same kind of retardation (and yes, I use this word in respect to you also) in the emitted particle. As yet there is no scientific proof of the claim that the path of the particle is retarded (like you) by relativistic effects and there could just as easily be some other effect responsible for this, including but not limited to an increased drag from passing through space, the ether, the higgs field (call it what you will and I'll still call you a niggerfaggot), and therefore we cannot legitimately claim at this stage that relshitivity is right or that you are not a collossal illogical faggot.

for not being a brainlet, let me just school you:
entanglement only causes "superluminal" correlations between measurements made on observations, or series of observations (like, e.g. measuring the spin of photons as 0 or 1 in a long string of 0s or 1s where one might hope to decode that string of 0s and 1s into a message) that are inherently random. the measurers only record a random string of 0s and 1s -- this random string encodes nothing, and only after traveling subluminally to one another can they confirm their measurements had a correlation. nothing in their measurements encodes information.

In the case of the article you linked, no such measurement is taking place. The photon itself is being teleported. But even if it were not so, there is reason to think that spin could be used to send information, as I will demonstrate, by way of demolishing the arguments of Mr. Flapdoodle here.
>a particular branch of history
>on a different branch of history
This seems to be suggesting that if a photon is measured with spin up then its entangled particle, no matter where it is in space or time (i.e. millions of years in the past) must therefore have spin down. This is ridiculous for obvious reasons, so he must instead be talking some other statement about relativishit. This is of no value to the debate, if the observed effect 1. casts doubt on relashitivity itself or 2. disproves it completely.

Conservation of energy doesn't hold unless you include gravitational energy. This is a tricky thing to pin down in GR, but the Landau-Lifshitz pseudotensor provides a satisfactory answer and restores energy conservation. This even works for dark energy, so that the increase in total vacuum energy of the expanding universe is balanced by a corresponding decrease in another component.
You can have two distant objects accelerating apart by dark energy, but in order to extract work from the acceleration, you have to somehow bring them together again which takes work against the accelerating expansion of space.
