how about the philosophy of science...? went to a very interesting lecture at Melbourne Uni, delivered by a Physics professor. It's about relating atom-splitting experiments to the big bang theory.
Here are some of the amazing statements made:-
- We only know about 4% of the matter in the universe. The other is made up of dark matter and dark energy.
- There is the first dimension (lecturer waves hand backwards and forward), second dimension (waves hand left and right), third dimension (hand goes up and down), and of course time is the fourth dimension. We believe there may be six other dimension accounting for the unexplainable behaviour of atoms at subatomic level. [Note: my paraphrase - but good lord, only six other mysterious dimensions...]
