Physics Conceptual Question

[JujuFish]

Wow, I can't even read your posts, Nemesis 1, and it has nothing to do with how horribly ignorant you are. Please take a course on English grammar. It's a pain just trying to understand your sentences without even getting to your "creative" ideas.

DrPizza hasn't visited yet. Aren't you one of the other famed physics experts here? Or do I have my names mixed up again?

I don't know about famed... I have a degree in astrophysics and am working in condensed matter physics right now so I guess I know some stuff...

That's a little bit more than I've got. :Q

I'm working on a 4 year Mechanical Engineering Technology degree right now. I'm going to be 26 soon and starting to get really impatient about getting a real job that pays more than Walmart wages. Once I've got that going, then maybe I'll start thinking about physics.

In a world where I had loads more motivation, and lots more cash to spend on college, I'd probably have gone to college for something in nuclear physics, and likely into graduate school, hopefully for a Ph.D. I'd love to work on fusion reactors.
Or go the other way, and work on theoretical physics or something with astrophysics. This whole MOND thing has me interested. I've got various questions and ideas, but have no one around to say, "Hey, is this a stupid idea? If it is, tell me exactly why it won't work." But of course, a good explanation might be, "Take this course on quantum physics and think about it again." That takes time that I don't have, but that I wish I did.
A whole Universe to explore, and we get somewhere under 100 years to see it. Sometimes it seems like a cruel joke, showing the horse the carrot, and just as he's getting to actually smell it, a timer goes off and he's shot.

If nothing can escape a black hole . How does science explain the big bang.

How's your grip on higher-dimensional space? Have you done much work on 11-dimensional calculations?
At the Big Bang, you've got a little bit more going on than your ordinary black hole. A black hole has a mass about equal to a large star, as that's what it's made of. The Big Bang singularity, then you're talking about all of the matter and energy in the Universe compressed into something. From whatever other dimension the stuff from the Big Bang came from may have been what produced the "force" to push it here in the first place. I've read things about "branes" which I understand are large structures which exist beyond our Universe. Two of them collide, and the way this "energy" manifested itself was in a little bubble of what we perceive as spacetime - our Universe.

Cancer should be a no brainer compared to understanding Big bang or black wholes or folding time and space. hypothetical my ass.

"Understand" is a pretty big word though. How much do you want to understand something? We understand how the sun works - fusion in the core produces energy. Oh, you want to know exactly how a specific sunspot formed? You want to know how many individual granules cover the "surface" of the sun. Do you want to follow the path of an individual neutrino from the core to the point where it leaves the surface? Likewise, cancer. We understand that it is the result of genetic anomalies within cells. Understanding how to cure it - that's an entirely different level.
....and reading the rest of your posts, I think this is a waste of time. Maybe someone else will glean something useful from this though.

Born2bwire - the ignore button won't be powerful enough. Seems to me we need some sort of big blackish hole-ish thing.
