cosmological theory

Well, as you know, most progress in physics has come from scientists getting doped up on amphetamines and screaming into the voicemail boxes of their rivals or competitors. This goes back to Newton and Leibniz.

I want to see your work with bodkins.

So what did he say? I bet Stephen Hawking will be pretty annoyed that his life's work has been surpassed by a college student...

I'm not a college student. I'm a human being. Trust me, there's a difference

haha I like stephen, I've read a bit of his stuff. He won me over in his prologue to "On The Shoulders of Giants" (a collection of first hand sources in the history of physics from Copernicus to Galileo, Newton, Kepler, et cetera to Einstein) when he made a snide comment against political correctness/gender inclusive language. something along the lines of "man, in the pre-political correct sense of the term, ..." haha I liked it and think he's kinda cool

anyway, I'm meeting with him tomarrow at 11. college is busy so we haven't had a chance to go over my idea yet, but I did give him a printed copy of it.

You're meeting with Stephen Hawking tomorrow? Sorry, I haven't read this whole thread, I just had to ask about this post..

[Aloysius]

lol woops.. I'm meeting with my PHYSICS PROFESSOR tomarrow... didn't intend to connect my thoughts about stephen hawking to that statement. lol a little misleading.

that'd be pretty awesome though.

I was about to flip out. that would be so awesome.. physics rocks my socks.. next time we hang out after mass let's talk about physics and philosophy.. over beer and pipes.

[Aloysius]

YES!

[Aloysius]

so my prof was really interested in the whole thing. gave me a couple names of some of the leading theories and such. basically he was saying how there are two mainstream cosmological understandings of the nature of the universe, but the leading people in the field are starting to look into a middle ground between them. He said my theory kinda would fall into that area that leading researchers are starting to look into the possibilities of

Very cool Al!
