"Ben: Any theory that violates the law of conservation of energy is invalid since the law of conservation of energy is a fundamental principle of physical reality." I'm inclined to strongly agree with you, but many, perhaps most scientists wouldn't. For stability, the 4D universe depends on Dirac's infinite floor of quantum fluctuations (he thought particles). All this is tied up with why the massless photon becomes so important to scientists cosmologically...the 4D universe can't be finite. By the way, I would read what Bruce says lower in this thread carefully, because he is right. It is, I think pointless to deny the veracity of a concept (concepts, ie SRT, GR and QM) which have such experimental evidence to support them...whether their implications sound like fantasy- or not. I'm also inclined to believe that by 2050AD most automobile fuel will be alcohol, (as Brazil is on now) with the remaining petroleum reserved for jet fuel, grease and plastics. Americans will NEVER give up their automobiles- cars will become smaller, more efficient and more creatively engineered. The increasing cost of gasoline will make this happen natually because ethanol can be produced from corn for between 5-10 dollars per gallon, depending on the process and purity desired. Solar power is just too expensive, and most scientists now feel fusion is a lost cause...at least for the forseeable future... |
