Indeed. But. "What next?" you ask... We're going to have a moon base within 20 years (provided NASA gets funding) which we will be able to rent out. Now what's better than that, you say? We're going to soon be sending a manned probe to mars... And after that... A mars base. After that, eh? We go explore Alpha Centauri's solar system. XD

I use multi-billion dollar military satellites to find tupperware hidden in the woods... What do YOU do?

^ Your kids will go to university on Mars, that's a given! ;)
^ ah mars, you could lift heavier rocks there than on earth...hmmm.
(flexing)
But seriously, isnt imagination from a parallel universe?
Good point on imagination.
The mind can entertain the possibilty of parallel universe. What about perpendicular ones?
Is the universe like cells, splitting in two alleles, and so forth, until an infinity of multiverses? Why not. Seems there's infinite space.
All this space stuff makes me smirk though; here's a good one, from Publius Syrus, 85-43 B.C.: 'Would you have a great empire? Rule over yourself'.
This say I will but the book in January - I need to update on string theory and I'm curious about what other fileds the author explore.
Or maybe it is something we can't perceive since it hasn't been revealed...
Stuff like flying.... Space travel... And the moon thing may be hard with the cosmetic rays... You would need to wear your suits the whole time... Going to school on mars would be a big joke.

Seems possible, it is in nature as u point out. But what gets me is the point of origins.
I think the reason for no point of origin is becuse it would be like trying to find the origin
of a circle already existing.

multiuniverses/extra-dimensional space...
I think photons hold the key for this door.
A photon is the only inter-dimensional traveler that I know of, ambiguously
at best, but a photon can be at two places at once.
Its massless state can not explain this, but a sub, parallel, perpendicular
or whatever universe / dimension can.
But we can not prove there are multiuniverses or exta-dimensionl spaces not yet
perceived.
Hmmm.. We need to come up with formless tool to explore the formless space.

Publius Syrus = philosopher?
'Would you have a great empire? Rule over yourself'
Does that mean; to create your own universe?? (I dont quite understand pls enlighten)
Its a very profound quote.
I know very little about the great philosophers.

Or a universe that's a bit soggy with rice milk and apple sauce....
Ah, texture.. Wet, limp, soft, and fibrous.
Yum
LOL.
Nice of u to spam tho..

This is a kool book if you are into physics... But it kinda keeps u in a box.
The Trouble With Physics: The Rise of String Theory, the Fall of a Science, and What Comes Next
by Lee Smolin
In this groundbreaking book, the renowned theoretical physicist Lee Smolin argues that physics-the basis for all other science-has lost its way. The problem is string theory, an ambitious attempt to formulate "a theory of everything" that explains all the forces and particles of nature and how the universe came to be. With its exotic new particles and parallel universes, string theory has captured the public's imagination and seduced many physicists. But as Smolin reveals, there's a deep flaw in the theory: no part of it has been proven, and no one knows how to prove it. As a scientific theory, it has been a colossal failure. And because it has soaked up the lion's share of funding, attracted some of the best minds, and penalized young physicists for pursuing other avenues, it is dragging the rest of physics down with it.
With clarity, passion, and authority, Smolin charts the rise and fall of string theory and takes a fascinating look at what will replace it. A group of young theorists has begun to develop exciting new ideas that are, unlike string theory, testable. Smolin tells us who and what to watch for in the coming years and how we can find the next Einstein. This is a wake-up call, and Lee Smolin — a former string theorist himself — is the perfect person to deliver it.
Until the day comes when we can test for parallel universes, we can only perceive one universe.
True?
