yes, phantom and zeus, yall are awesome. 
i live by the bible as well and i also believe that it is a foundation to build upon for everyday living. okay. CK9, you said that you believed in the Quantum foam theory, ive never heard of that one. explain. and could you also explain the hole big bang theory. cause the big bang theory for me is "God spoke, and BANG it happened.". hehe. i read that in a christian book store before.
I hope no one minds that i bump in a bit :unsure:
General note: There's so many theories and sub theories regarding the quantum mechanics so what i may say is probably agreed by some and not by others and will probably be incorrect in many ways because the thing with quantum is that you cannot predict an outcome, you can only calculate how something
could or
should react but it could do the exact opposite.
As for the entire world being filled with micro singularites, maybe, you cant prove they are there though but if you were to dump some antimatter into a micro singularity it would temporarily expand possibly opening a passageway to another "layer" of existance. If you were to pour a bigger amount into it though the hole would become so big that it would tear space time as Einstein talked about.
It could be illustrated like having a rather soft net and dropping a ball on it, the "net" (space time) would bend around ball.
If there is a tear in space time it would cause another "big bang", ordinary black holes are sometimes called tears in space time but not like that.
Storing antimatter would be very hard though and creating it is also very difficult, first of all you need one really big particle accelerator (there's one or two powerful in the US to do this) then you send a heavy atom at very high speeds through the conduit and also a single photon package, if you're lucky they will pass really close to each other and then the photon package will turn into a positive proton (normal)
and a negative proton (not normal) the negative proton is antimatter.
When the antimatter comes into contact with any other protons however they merge again and turn into pure energy, thus it makes containing the antimatter very difficult because it will literally eat any protons it comes into contact with.
Back to the future, ara, i mean the big bang.
Again it has several theories...
Theory 1: The universe as it is right now will keep growing and growing until eventually it will stop and start pulling into itself again, when the universe has become very compact it triggers a big blast (a super strong supernova, really big) which will disperse everything and the story starts a new. The theory states this process has continued over and over...
Theory 2: Before the big bang things were kinda like in a nebula, gas etc and then things simply heated up and boom. Im to lazy to go into more details on this one, read an encyclopedia.
Theory 3: Quantum theory combined with the string theory and the "fat lady" combining the different string theories. There are countless universes and possibilities (like a hypercube, it turns into itself. It's freaky to look at such illustrations) the universes are could be described as oval shapes floating close to each other waying back and forth in unity, the ovals dont touch each other though.
When however one of these ovals decides to start moving out of rhytm either because of natural phenomena or happenings inside the oval they will collide with other ovals. The result of 2 ovals colliding is like throwing a glittery snow globe around, the snow inside will disperse and the quick movements imitate a big bang resetting the universe.
Theory 4-59etc, there's alot more but theese are the only ones i've read about, and all three mentioned above could be correct.
So lets filter out the theories from facts
1: the universe is expanding, we can see this but cant prove why.
2: antimatter can and have been created in particle accelerators.
3: While the quantum thory is just a theory it is currently the best tool to explain why and how certain things work (how can for example a photon package from a laser predict a correct path without visiting both paths, buut that's another story)
4: The string theory is also currently the best tool to explain how certain things work but there's still no way to prove "strings" exist. It is only logical however to expect that quarks must be built out of something. And that makes you woonder, is there another step beyond strings.
But still nr 3-4 are just theories.
There wasn't so much about the quantum foam but hey, atleast it's a start
Zircon reserves the right to be mistaken at one point or two because it turned out to be a very long message... Also, dont think that i understand quantum mechanics, you have to be a nutcase (be so in tune with maths that it is basically your life) in order to understand that kind of maths, i just understand a small part of the verbal and text theory...
Sidenote 1: This reminds me of the dead cat in the box... :blush:
There was this guy that wanted to explain part of the quantum theory so he put a cat into a box, locked it (no airholes no water no food) he then waited for a month and brought his students. The cat would ofcourse be dead yes? But according to the quantum theory something isn't positive or negative before someone has seen it.
So he asked them, is it dead? Yes ofcourse a cat cant survive in there for a month... *disgust* He opens the box and out comes the cat with a big *meow*
:blink:
Moral of the story: The students thought in "2 dimensional" terms and took for granted that the professor would keep his word and keep the cat locked up, he didn't and thats part of how quantum could work.
(the original cat in the box experiment was just a random thought made by a scientists, certain people around picked up on the idea however)
Now we just have to hope that some mad scientist doesn't really lock up a cute kitten in order to prove that quantum could act exactly as predicted =X_X= :blink:
Sidenote 2: Above mentioned theories etc, are not really "down to earth" there's one "big bang" theory that's really big and i built upon loads of chemical reactions etc, i think i caught a glimpse of it in the library once.
