Subnostr

MDB 2y ago

Nostr is designed for deep thought and introspection, unlike Twitter.

This morning, I sat down to ponder some unanswered questions that persist for our human species.

With the advancements in technology that are expected in the next few years, many mysteries will be unveiled.

What is dark energy, and how does it influence the expansion of the universe?

What is the nature of dark matter, and how does it affect the formation and evolution of galaxies?

Are there undiscovered fundamental forces or particles in the universe?

What can the study of gravitational waves teach us about the cosmos and its origins?

Is it possible to reconcile general relativity and quantum mechanics in a unified theory of everything?

How do black holes form, and what happens at their event horizons?

What is the role of cosmic inflation in the early universe, and how did it shape the universe we see today?

How do stars form, and what processes govern their life cycles and eventual deaths?

Are there other habitable planets beyond our solar system, and what are the conditions necessary for life to emerge?

Is faster-than-light travel or communication possible, and what implications would this have for our understanding of space and time?

How common are exoplanets, and what can they teach us about the formation and evolution of planetary systems?

What is the ultimate fate of the universe – will it continue to expand forever, or will it eventually contract in a "Big Crunch"?

I find that Minds (https://www.minds.com/?referrer=undisciplined) is even better for discussions that aren't specifically about Bitcoin or economics (for the time being).

Here are some quick thoughts:

It has to be possible to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity, although it might require fundamental changes to both theories.

Nothing particularly special happens at event horizons, in the sense that if you crossed an event horizon you wouldn't notice.

Black holes form when a concentration of mass is great enough for gravity to overwhelm the electromagnetic and strong nuclear forces that maintain separation between particles.

There pretty much have to be undiscovered particles or forces, because the ones we have discovered are insufficient to explain the universe we observe.
