The search of the Unified theory over yet?

Nah, but they've come up with some experiments that might provide evidence for or against string theory, which is a fairly major leap.

Yes.... Bah, realism. Claim there is no need to go to the stars, that thought experiments and theory can accomplish the same thing. Proabably right, but still...

Aristotle claimed that you could achieve everything through thought experiments alone, and look where that got him...
Besides, it's no fun without experiments! :D

No, they can experiment all they want; but no human space program. The whole 'manifest destiny' thing down the drain.

Hehehe, Aristotle. "Yes, yes, mythological creatures exist!"

Hehehe, Aristotle. "Yes, yes, everything is made from different combinations of earth, fire, air and water!"

You've been here for a year and seven months and you've only just noticed that?!

And then there's a different Platonic Solid for each of the "elements".

Speaking of that, have you seen the OotS where Redcloak makes the Chlorine elementals? :D

Horrible death, gasing. Had to remind more than a few idiots at the forums that it was a webcomic.

Did you watch Firefly, by the way?

I preferred the titanium elementals, personally.

I've seen the first two disks of Firefly - up to Jaynestown.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those. Now what about Fluorine elementals?

Have you guys heard the idea that physics is starting to reach its.. cusp? That in the next say, 300 years we'll have discovered everything that can be discovered and that there won't be much more to do other than to make our measurements more and more precise...

It sounds kind of ridiculous to me, but on the other hand it would seem like there'd have to be a limit, and in a hundred years or so it's very likely that we'll be able to make computers with more computing compacity than what's contained in the entire universe...

People have been saying we've finally arrived or will shortly arrive at a wholly accurate model of the universe and no further work needs to be done since Aristotle (and probably before that, just not written down...) and we've not stopped yet.

Have any of you seen What the Bleep Do We Know? It's one of the most unintentionally funny movies ever made.

What did this topic used to be part of?
I don't think there's a limit to physics.
Every new thing we invent can create new physics that is then possible to discover.
If that makes any sense.
Which I don't think it does.
Look, Queezle.
