Sciene Talk

I've always loved science, particularly physics. Most of the videos/ articles I look at on the internet are about quantum physics, or cool science facts. TED Talks are great for this as well, and channels like VSauce on youtube. I stumbled upon a cool little article earlier, and it's something I've heard a couple times before. http://blog.theuniversesolved.com/2009/09/27/how-to-walk-through-a-door/ Basically, it says that if you were to infinitely try to walk into a wall, eventually one of those times you would walk striaght through it. Or "phase" through it. This is because almost all of the atoms in the universe are made up of 99% empty space. Including, you, and the wall. So if you were to try and infinite number of times, one of those times the empty space in your body would line-up with the filled space in the wall, and the empty space in the wall would line-up with your atoms meaning you would pass straight through it. I love reading theories like these. Any others anyone wants to share?

Science is fun. I can't say I'm too big on Physics though. There are some abstract physics concepts that interest me, but I never got into it much. I do like what I've seen from VSauce. As for my thoughts on the walking through a wall. It would seem that the wall has to be infinitely thin as well. For every layer of matter, it would just make it that much harder. And you could also have other problems such as getting stuck in the wall because while we are mostly empty space, the matter portion of both us and wall is constantly moving.

The major problem, especially when dealing with Physics is that you are dealing with realm of study that are based upon theorems. These theorems are nothing more then "ideas" that "work" but are not proven. There is A LOT of things in theoretical science that can be proven mathematically, but can not be achieved in reality. These things are even further muddied when you take into consideration that you can technically "prove" or achieve anything when you have the ability to adjust the variables at your own leisure. It's a perverted "Machiavellian" way to do science where some groups "tweak" the means in order to justify the end they wish to see, made only easier by fast computers, and programs designed to reach a predetermined conclusion rather then a result. BLAH. But due to the fact it is dealing with atoms, I can almost guarantee that what you are talking about is based upon Quantum Physics... which is amazing to read and study: BUT the truth of the matter is everything we think we know about physics breaks down on the quantum level, Even the theory of general relativity ceases to work on the "small" level. Which makes it all the more intriguing. But yet again, there is a lot of math that in theory works on that level, that can not be proven, or even tested due to the fact it is currently beyond our means to do so. AND, if physics has shown us anything over the past 70yrs.... the more we think we know, the more we don't.

True, it's all theoretical, but I think that's what makes it so interesting. It could be right, or wrong, and discerning for ourselves is the best part I think :3
