    That's it exactly. Scientists are totally random. It's like, "well, can't explain that, must be due to some supernatural being who hates homosexuals and idol worshippers".

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Wait, what? That doesn't sound like science at all!

    And @huevonkiller...they don't randomly add dimensions. The things they add are things that make the math work. A lot of theoretical physics is math ahead of the observational data, as our level of technology won't allow for observations on such a tiny (or massive/distant, as the case may be) level. So physicists create theories that work mathematically and future observations will either validate or disprove the theories.

    Yeah I'm just not sure it is possible to understand the quantum mechanics of gravity, and it has been around for a while (30ish years). The theoretical physics in this case is too arbitrary for me to believe, 10-26 dimensions? Meh.

    I'm not advocating accepting religion as science either. ;) I just think standards should be higher for theoretical physics, and science in general.

    the idea that a black hole can "explode."

    OMG! Scientists discovered more things they haven't explained yet, but explained everything from 200 years ago they wondered about!? WTF! work faster you dumb scienstists, GOD! 30 years is like older than like the Beatles... wait no... [green font]

    Haha ok, this isn't the theory of gravity. Relax no one is getting anywhere with this thing.

    Just because you're failing with a theory, it doesn't mean everything will be alright later. Further let me educate you on the details since you want to be so stubborn about it.

    Wow this is completely naive of you. Not every theory, especially this particular one, is fleshed out appropriately. I'd say this isn't even a theory and you'll see why below.

    You're upset with me about a religion right now, there's a bunch of bogus theories about the universe. Guess what, it might not be possible to understand the quantum mechanics of an invisible particle, that's not the biggest leap of faith.

    Uhm no, Jesus made the universe.

    Intriguing theory. Can you explain the math behind it?

    Pretty basic stuff. Jesus + God = Universe.

    That gives a whole new interpretation to the "big bang", I guess.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    i'm sorry, but I have to label you a fraud. Jesus + God has long been understood to be greater than, not equal to, Universe. Such a simple error pretty much destroys your entire mathematical framework.

    You're finished as a scientist. You'll never be published in any reputable Creation Science journal again.

    You know that Relativity was just a mathematical theory to start out too, right? Then they found data to support it.

    What do you mean by "invisible" particle?

    It just takes time man, they'll figure this shit out. More data and more computing power and they'll work it out. I will concede there could be some sort of Heisenberg thing involved.

    Gravitons are the invisible particle.

    Yeah it has a possibility of being real, but based on that article I'd say no.

    You mean Higgs boson. Though there is dark matter and dark energy that cannot be directly observed as well.

    The sun is like 99% of all the matter/mass in the solar system.
