well you know how string and M theorists suggest that there are multiple dimensions we can't observe...

there might be an afterlife contained within one of these dimensions
i certainly don't mean a religious afterlife (thats fucking stupid)
but still, some form of afterlife

>> No.1645314

Stop implying we have souls or any other shit that can travel through extra dimensions.

Way to try and appease both Athiests and Thiests. Don't know if it'll work.

I find it hard to understand the idea of non-religious afterlife. Care to explain?

Here's how to appease everyone: God is real, and he loves you, and heaven is just a mega high for the last instant of your life, but it doesn't make a difference either way. There is no hell, but each individual must confront the wrongs they have done before going to heaven, e.g. Hitler would have to personally apologize to every person who's pain he's caused, every westerner has to apologize to the factory workers that make your stuff.

String theory is a model. It's like me giving you a chair that has no legs. I then say the seat and back rest will arrive later. Whatever I give you, would you still call it a chair?

We don't know what we're talking about. The state of physics today is like it was when we were mystified by radioactivity. They were missing something absolutely fundamental. We are missing something perhaps something as profound as they were back then.

just for the sake of the story, how does hitler apologize to the jews?
and how do the people involved in the manhatten project apologize to the people who are still fucked up from the radiation

They're living in luxury compared to the shit life they'd have if they didn't have a job paid for by western consumption. They should bloody well be grateful. Of course I don't want to work in a factory. So what? I'm grateful for what I have as well.

e.g. part of the DNA can be compared with Operating System Installation CD
it contains code to build up programs which are capable to run the hardware
normally this hardware especially the hdd doesn't contain any pictures, movies or music files

the DNA of the parents contains only the very essential informations - only to function

one step towards the scientific afterlife is to compress memory data from the parents
and storage this information in the DNA.
the children would be aware of the past of their parents.

but that doesnt make you live on, only the memory will be transformed

No I am an engineer. My problem with string theory is that it comes in an infinite number of versions. Even if we strict ourselves to theories that agree with some basic observed facts about our universe, such as its cast size and the existence of dark energy, we are left with as many as 10^500 distinct string theories. Thus, no matter what the experiments show, string theory cannot be disproved. But the reverse holds true: no experiment will ever be able to prove it true.

The basic string theories they teach at Uni have been disproved.

>> No.1645423

>>1645415
all major theories have many many derivations in this day and age, information is spread so rapidly that other physicist form their own takes on the theory

and i quite highly doubt that there are 10^500 theories, after all thats quite a few more people we have on our majestic speck of blue dust

Well, in many ways QFT can't be falsified either. All these modern particle physics theories are so "robust" they that can almost always be reformulated to accommodate any new observations.

This is part of the reason we call them "models" now.

Yo, dickweed, its called a hypothetical construct...we cannot measure or observe string theory AS OF YET. that is why it cant be proven true.

Think hard...think VERY hard OP. Once you die, your body soon decays, like....a fish...but as we are that we WILL die one day...we dont like this idea, it is a scary idea to die so we decide to try and form an 'afterlife' in which we can go on and basically live forever in many different after lifes.
