• I Know How Silly This is Gonna Sound, But...

  
  Live and Uncensored! — Authority: 469
  I think that, with the ease of data absorption gifted to us by YouTube, we should all spend at least a little bit of time learning about string theory . Okay, you can believe in it or not, but consider at least that what we think is "impossible" significantly narrows our own personal possibilities. The mind ...

  KHdN - Kenneth Hynek (dot Net) — Authority: 435
  The notion of alternate universes (colloquially: “the multiverse”) is not a new one, though it has mostly been confined to the realm of speculative fiction…at least until recently. The multiverse concept has enjoyed more general recognition in the last few years, in its use by the New Atheists as an attempt to ...

  Integral Options Cafe — Authority: 438
  Well, okay, then, tell us what you really think. I like Penrose, though as far as I know he is still considered an outsider in physics and consciousness studies, despite all his contributions to the field. Maybe that is partly why I like him. Discover Interview : Roger Penrose Says Physics Is ...
