Our universe is all we could ever know. It grows every day. We know about how big it is. That doesn't mean that is all there is, though. So, can we ever know how "big" all there is... is? I don't think so. I think that's a hard no for us. Higher dimensional beings could discover it and conveys...

Sure, if you dropped a couple of atoms or even atomic nuclei into it together at about the same place and time. Before they reached the center (on presumably two trajectories to the center close to each other in time), eventually their nuclei would be forced to fuse, as they would be forced...

It is the dance of physics, laid out in the biggest lab ever. It is the best physics experiment ever. And through physics, we learn how to bend the universe to our will. Physicists: "It would be great to take some stuff, put it somewhere, and see what happens. We could learn a few things."...

Every single one of those people would admit they don't know how the universe began or how it will end. I promise you. Agreed on outside the box... that's how scientists get famous, after all.

I am wondering which scientists you are talking about. The ones I see and hear freely admit they, for example, have no idea what happened before the big bang, and possibly may never know. They also admit they have no idea how the universe will end. So, they admit they don't know how it began...

Okay, but I think you are approaching evolution from a slightly wrong angle. The Theory of Evolution has to explain, basically, two things: 1) Why are there so many species? 2) Why are they all so well-suited to their environments? The answer to 1) is that evolution happens. It just does. You...

But it isn't, it's just a safe bet. You are free to try to knock any of it down. everyone is, at all times. It is safe bet to accept the Theory of Evolution as true, for example. Very safe, indeed.

What you are doing here is accidentally falling into a trap of bad logic. When you start naming these specifics (of which you named several), you are describing the path to exactly what we have here, now. You are falling into Hoyle's fallacy, or Zeno's fallacies, by which reasoning one can...

While the walls, roof, and floor may be inflatable and flexible, the people and equipment inside won't be. So I remain doubtful. But I am sure that any risk I can dream up, these geniuses thought about twice before breakfast. So I will stay tuned...

As I understand it, any Moon base would have to remain in orbit, due to Moonquakes. These would shake to pieces any structure we attempt to place on the moon.

Privately funded...by whom? Even Space X is counting on big government funding for any of its proposed manned missions.

Your walk affected no other universes.

Which is precisely what people do.

Given infinite resources and time, it has to happen an infinite number of times.

That being said... It is religion-induced chaos they fear most.
