Oh, if you can prove that a gluon is a universe then its scientific hypothesis. If you can't test that then it's not <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" /><br /><br />It's much easier to prove the existence of smaller galaxies of a lower fractal level than of the existence of superstrings, since superstrings are over 10 orders of magnitude smaller than what I would call galaxies in a fractal universe.<br /><br />Superstring theory<br />Superstrings = 10^-35 meters<br /><br />Cyclical Multiverse theory<br />Small galaxies of the next fractal level below us (eq. to 10,000 LY wide) = 10^(-22.52) meters<br /><br />Basically, to verify the claim that there are galaxies at a smaller fractal level, you have to verify what the constitution of gluons are, the particles which mediate the strong force.<br /><br />There is a huge difference in verifiability between String theory and Cyclical Multiverse Theory<br /><br />You would say that String theory is not science. AGREED.<br /><br />So the definition of science depends on our level of technology.<br /><br />A scientific discipline cannot exist unless its invented.<br /><br />Psychology is not <b>very</b> scientific, and as an empirical science, it is hundreds of years younger, but in the future it will be an almost exact science, like mathematics and physics.<br /><br />Science is not a label you can just write on with a permanent maker, it's organized knowledge that fluxes and expands with time.<br /><br />I do not believe in parallel dimensions, now that's really unscientific. I am saying that of course from the perspective that there is no such thing as looped dimensions, nor do I believe that parallel dimensions can intersect. <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" />
