How does one thing affect another thing? They have to be part of the same thing otherwise it's an impossible problem.
My guess is that if we keep digging we'll mostly just find feedback loops and fractal relations.
G: But they are annihilated immediately. Maybe they are tiny explosions? Maybe everything that exists is an explosion of sorts? fast ones and very slow ones :)
S: Somehow they are being created faster than they are being annihilated?
G: Maybe the same, with the energy of the "little explosions" pushing outwards in all directions.
S: Yes but then it would become thinner. We need new particles to maintain density.
G: True. Dark energy is the most insane concept - the natural state of the closest aspect of reality we know to nothingness is unbridled expansion and the only thing that checks its tempo is gravity, as in the early universe. I have an image in my mind of space expanding ever faster in the late universe as matter thins out ever more, faster and faster and faster until an unknown threshold is broken and there's another bang, not from one spot, but from everywhere (as posited). Of course this begs a question about a new law of physics involved with the break point.
How perfectly can you seal it? NASA's clean rooms seem to have a bit more going on than a jar, an oven and a hot water jug :)Serendipper wrote:So how about a mason jar of dirt with lid and ring in the oven at 350 for a while, then fill with boiling water to the top, slap the lid on and wait 5 years?
