  1. I like getting questions from non-physicists. It’s usually a challenge to explain physical ideas clearly. You have to avoid nasty jargon, etc. It forces you to rethink a problem and this usually takes you to the core of physical problems. In that sense the questions from non-physicists are much more important to me.

  2. Oddly ironic choice of quotes there, Dr. ‘Ask Me Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Quantum Mechanics, But Were Afraid to Ask’. 😉

    By the way, when are you going to give us ‘umm, not so smart’ people the answers to our ‘foolish’ questions? Oh, but you weren’t talking about us, right? 😉 You were protesting Overbye’s characterization of scientists, right? Yeah, yeah, that’s it…

  3. A mathematical why of the Big Bang
    Outline

    Let Ui be a set of locations of particles of the universe.
    U1xU2x …… xUix ….. a set of infinite paths
    (Cartesian product of sets of urelements).
    this set is equal to the void set by the
    negation of the axiom of choice.

    So there is no more space containing the particles.
    The particles collapse on themselves: Big Crunch.
    Then Big Bang.

    The Big Bang has taken place thus the negation of the axiom
    of choice is likely to be considered as a good axiom.
