Ok. Apparently I'm in the QM camp. :) FYI, there has been further support of this Pauli-exclusion oriented view in studies of the neutron structure itself. Apparently it's more like an oreo cookie with a negative shell and negative core, with a positively charged layer in between.

Which is why most physicists consider QM to supersede GR in those rare cases where they overlap; as good as GR is, QM is better.

Testing QM and GR separately isn't the same as testing OP. If you want to test OP you have to predict what happens where QM and GR meet, and test that. These predictions have to be predictions that cannot be made by QM or GR. Only if you do that, you are testing OP. If you don't do that, you're just speculating.

Hi, WilbertK. In actuality, the field of physics does involve mathematical proofs of physical theories, i.e., physical theorems, such as the Penrose-Hawking-Geroch Singularity Theorems which proved that singularities necessarily exist per General Relativity and given attractive gravity. Likewise, the Omega Point/Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity theory is a mathematical theorem if General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are correct. As Prof. Stephen Hawking wrote, "one cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem." (From p. 67 of Stephen Hawking, The Illustrated A Brief History of Time [New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1996; 1st ed., 1988].)

Further, due to Liouville's Theorem in complex analysis, it doesn't matter what form of physics one resorts to, as any physically-realistic cosmology (e.g., one capable of incorporating Quantum Mechanics, since the complex number field is intrinsic to the mathematical formulations of Quantum Mechanics) must begin at an initial singularity and end at a final singularity. (As Barrow and Tipler wrote, "Initial and final cosmological curvature singularities are required to avoid a universal action singularity." See John D. Barrow and Frank J. Tipler, "Action principles in nature", Nature, Vol. 331, No. 6151 [Jan. 7, 1988], pp. 31-34; see also Frank J. Tipler, "The Structure of the Classical Cosmological Singularity", in Origin and Early History of the Universe: Proceedings of the 26th Liège International Astrophyscial Colloquium, July 1-4, 1986 [Cointe-Ougree, Belgium: Universite de Liege, Institut d'Astrophysique, 1987], pp. 339-359; "Discussion", pp. 360-361.)

For much more on the foregoing, see my article "The Physics of God and the Quantum Gravity Theory of Everything", and see the following resource:

the Omega Point/Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity theory is a mathematical theorem if General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are correct.
General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics aren't compatible. So if you assume they are both 'correct' then your argument is invalid.

You're taking these theories well outside the scope where they're applicable. This is beyond unscientific. It's nonsensical.

General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics aren't known to be incompatible per se. They are incompatible if one attempts to artificially eliminate the arbitrarily higher number of terms within the quantum gravitational Lagrangian and if one does not use the proper boundary conditions on the universe. For the details on that, see Sec. 3.2: "The Omega Point and the Quantum Gravity Theory of Everything", pp. 19 and 23-24 of my following article:

James Redford, "The Physics of God and the Quantum Gravity Theory of Everything", Social Science Research Network (SSRN), Sept. 10, 2012 (orig. pub. Dec. 19, 2011), 186 pp., doi:10.2139/ssrn.1974708; PDF, 1741424 bytes, MD5: 8f7b21ee1e236fc2fbb22b4ee4bbd4cb. http://ssrn.com/abstract=1974708 , http://archive.org/details/ThePhysicsOfGodAndTheQuantumGravityTheoryOfEverything , http://theophysics.host56.com/Redford-Physics-of-God.pdf , http://alphaomegapoint.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/redford-physics-of-god.pdf , http://sites.google.com/site/physicotheism/home/Redford-Physics-of-God.pdf

On this same issue, see also the commentary that I give in the following resource, in which are six sections that contain very informative videos of physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler explaining the Omega Point cosmology, which is a proof (i.e., mathematical theorem) of God's existence per the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics), and the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE), which is also required by the known laws of physics. The seventh section therein contains an audio interview of Tipler.

A number of these videos are not otherwise online.

Dear James Redford,

You play this out like it's a game. And because your argument is mathematical we're not even supposed to be allowed to argue against it. That's pathetic.

I'll come back to my initial point. In physics, nothing is ever proven. Every working theory is only provisional. If a theory, even one with a flawless track record, predicts something that we haven't yet observed (like the Higgs Boson), physicists will never say that that thing is proven to exist. That's just not how physics works. The thing (e.g. the Higgs Boson) is only said to exist if it has actually been observed.

So, the statement in the thread title is false. You try to keep us from seeing that by dazzling us with hours and hours of videos and lots and lots of links to articles that even most scientists will have trouble with. But that's no use. You've already lost. Your position cannot be defended by logic or maths. It can only be defended by observation.

Hi, WilbertK. If a physics theory makes predictions which are empirically falsified then that physics theory is incorrect as applied to the observable universe (at least it's incorrect without modification). However, the predictions made by the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics) have been confirmed by every experiment ever conducted. Perhaps said known laws of physics are wrong, but there is no experimental reason to believe so.

And as I already said, the field of physics does involve mathematical proofs of physical theories, i.e., physical theorems, such as the Penrose-Hawking-Geroch Singularity Theorems which proved that singularities necessarily exist per General Relativity and given attractive gravity. Likewise, the Omega Point/Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity theory is a mathematical theorem if General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are correct.

WilbertK.....do you notice any similarities between the description of the Cyclic Model of the Universe as given by Stephen Hawking in his book Stephen Hawking's Universe with the description of a seemingly similar thing by a near death experiencer?


.near-death.com/experiences/reincarnation04.html#a05

When I say that I could see or perceive forever, I mean that I could experience all of creation generating itself. It was without beginning and without end. That's a mind-expanding thought, isn't it? Scientists perceive the Big Bang as a single event which created the universe. I saw that the Big Bang is only one of an infinite number of Big Bangs creating universes endlessly and simultaneously. The only images that even come close in human terms would be those created by supercomputers using fractal geometry equations.

The ancients knew of this. They said Godhead periodically created new universes by breathing out, and de-creating other universes by breathing in. These epochs were called yugas. Modern science called this the Big Bang. I was in absolute, pure consciousness. I could see or perceive all the Big Bangs or yugas creating and de-creating themselves. Instantly I entered into them all simultaneously. I saw that each and every little piece of creation has the power to create. It is very difficult to try to explain this. I am still speechless about this.

It took me years after I returned to assimilate any words at all for the void experience. I can tell you this now; the void is less than nothing, yet more than everything that is! The void is absolute zero; chaos forming all possibilities. It is absolute consciousness; much more than even universal intelligence.

I have not read that book, so I can't really comment on that, but if I did see any similarities, what would you think was the significance of that?

O gods
Blah blah blah blah blah
Einstein could explain his theories in very simple terms in the book "Relativity"
Hawking can explain cosmology in very simple terms
I've had various quantum theories explained to me in very simple terms

Do I know the mathematics? Heck no, never will, but I get the POINT.

So strip it all down and explain to me how your "theory of everything" functions.
And your "theory of God" (is this the Christian God, by the way, or just some random "creator"? There IS a difference, you know)

Strip it down, explain it to me in "plain english"

Omega Point Cosmology is not considered part of mainstream physics. The physicists who promote it are considered more science fiction, than science. Also you have to accept evolution to believe it. You have to accept that evolution is on some kind of track to create ever more advanced, and more conscious, and more spiritual beings. Then if you add billions of years then evolution creates god-like beings. These god-like products of evolution then resurrect their ancestors, (we get resurrected and live in our future world) heaven. Does that sound like Christianity to you?

Where did you get this idea? This doesn't sound anything like what was previously discussed in this thread.

Actually, yes, it does. The book of Revelations talks about how all the dead will rise again (hence Catholic disinclination to be cremated), and that there will be a new, second, heaven and Earth. The scenario you describe above matches that rather nicely.

The whole argument runs, roughly, as follows.
(1) God refuses to prove that (S)He exists because proof denies faith and without faith God is nothing.
(2) Man then counters that the Omega Point is a dead giveaway because it could not have evolved by chance. So the Omega Point proves that God exists - but hence also, by God's own reasoning (see 1) that God does not exist.
(3) God says that (S)He hadn't thought of that (hadn't thought of 2) and promptly disappears in a puff of logic.

It's poor manners to plagiarise; if you're going to copy Douglas Adams, at least cite him.

It wasn't plagiarism, it was an homage, and I thought one obvious enough not to need citation.

Yep, derivative works don't require citation. Though that last part seems a bit convoluted.
