Natural Science 301 Guidelines
This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.
As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

That said I believe in Intelligent Falling although I'm willing to (grudgingly) conceded that there may be some micro-gravity.
I'm always still in trouble again

Originally posted by Sparko View Postyeah I think they would first have to figure out what "space" actually is before we can figure out how it can curve. We currently just know what it does, not what it is. We do know what it isn't. It isn't an aether or a physical substance because of the Michelson-Morley experiment and the like.
"QFT was historically widely believed to be truly fundamental. It is now believed, primarily due to the continued failures of quantization of general relativity, to be only a very good low-energy approximation, i.e. an effective field theory, to some more fundamental theory.""Any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from trolling."
