Less poetry, more substance, paullesq.

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.

paullesq responds to me:
quote:
The big bang a single beginning denotes a single process.
But the Big Bang is not the end-all/be-all of cosmology. After it eneded, other processes took over.
You seem to be suggesting a return to a Newtonian visualization of the universe where if we just knew the position and momentum of every single particle in the universe, we could then predict everything that would ever happen.
Alas, quantum mechanics showed us that the universe doesn't work like that. Not only is it impossible to know the position and momentum of even one particle with sufficient accuracy (let alone all of the particles in the universe), but it is also the case that randomness affects its behaviour such that we cannot truly predict its behaviour in the future even if we could know the position and momentum.
