A Light Take On The Gravity-Time Relationship

Ben Dover · 02-01-09, 23:51

I found this link describing a little on, well, the relationship of space-time. Thought some of you would find it interesting as I did. Then again several of you already know....

I like Brian Green, I find his whole elegant universe series pretty fascinating.

Funny how the state of the art of M-Theory being pursued as a potential Theory of Everything resembles some of the ideas you'll find posted at 'Topia in the Twilight Zone.

In fact, some of it sounds like what I've seen after smoking a huge bowl of Salvia, but before M-Theory and all the talk about branes, what I "saw" would've sounded more like the multi-dimensional stuff shamans or medicine men/women talk about.

It was that book that got me hooked on theoretical physics. Although it is a kids book I'd still like to check out his new book, Icarus at the Edge of Time.

It is interesting how people that know nothing of this topic come to write trip reports and it's like they have "experienced" or "seen" parts of some of these theories.

If only we could get Greene and people like him interested in our hobby, they might come up with that theory of everything sooner

Hell thats probably how string theory was created

I read about a nobel prize winner who attributed alot of his insights to lsd..He did work on DNA sequencing I think.

Brian Greene is brilliant,
ive got the elegant universe book, and also the movie...
and allot of this stuff would be/is considered "crazy",
but soon enough , this stuff will be just as well known and "obvious" as the rest of science as we 'know' it.

The truth is indeed much stranger than fiction. lol

Nice post!

Thanks Ras. You have some goodins yourself. I've been diggin your avatar. That book opened up many doors for me years back. I think I'll offer it to the book exchange, if I can find it...

Does anyone have any suggestions on recent books about "the ultimate theory"?

relativity still blows me away. there is so much weird stuff that has come out of it.

great post ben

That was Watson or Crick (I never remember which), and driving home from a party in a rainstorm one night he said he envisioned the double-helix structure of DNA in the pattern of raindrops on his windshield (I'm glad he didn't crash). He'd taken acid at the party and thought he was 'fine' to drive home but underestimated how long acid stays interesting.
