I doubt it means there is anything wrong with the underlying basis of theoretical physics. The question that's interesting here is whether it's just an abstract mathematical convenience, or if it has a tangible connection to reality the way pi and e do.

I would go with the former on faith. I just don't think it's complicated enough that some of the smart people who have lived and pondered such questions would have missed it. Thus the intuition.

I'm not one of them but this question is well within my grasp meaning it's not that profound.

High school math and poplar science articles don't appeal to you, don't click on the thread.

Void argument fallacy.

But you are always reading my threads, so obviously you find them appealing.

Assumption of victory fallacy.

Explain to the board why this forum has religion, philosophy, and off-topic subforums if we aren't allowed to use them, according to you.

He never made any such statement, Sybil. Mantra 40e

Random words. No apparent coherency.

You can't order anyone around, little tyrant Hugo. You are a nothing.

Always reading your threads!??!? As usual you have a severely overinflated opinion of yourself. I was reading 63’s posts here, not yours. I responded to him, not you. 63 and I don’t agree on much but he’s really got you pegged .

For putzs like you to satisfy your ego is all I can decipher. This cesspool of a board is a collection of trolls mostly. And that’s why you post your BS here rather than in a quantum mechanics or physics board.

According to me? If you’re half as smart as you think you are, I’m sure you can repost where I said that.
