Wow.. The three of you have made some very, very valid points since I've looked at this last.
Bluewolf? You're right, dude. We don't have the ways or means to prove or disprove "string" theory. It's just a tidy way of making sense. If you view each each atom of every element and each law of physics as a "string", you make those of us that are musicians as well see things in a new light. Each string plays a note, each chemical compostion a chord... Affected by gravity? Harmonics... Who knows? Maybe if we could "see" in the same terms that we "hear", perhaps a distant galaxy is a symphony? Can we prove it? Nope. Can we dig it?
Heck, yeah.
JoAnn and Bob? Oh, you are so right. As much as I admire the theories of cosmologists, I feel a lot of times they do things in ways to validate themselves. Chances are pretty good that Stephen Hawking isn't visiting this forum, so I will admit that I've read all his works. Some things I find quite thrilling! And others? Dude... You borrowed someone else's ideas, added your own to it, and the came up with a mathmatical equation that no one short of an idiot savant can understand.
But just because I don't understand them doesn't means they aren't solid.
And you other guys are right. We would be no where without the visions of free thinking!
