Well I don’t know if it would be able to model or if it would fit any theory, but to me it seems that the idea you speak of here could be one method of manifesting multiple universes, oxymoron from hell there.

Oh yeah. Read it in the pre-release version of the script (probably in NatLamp). Wish they’d left that line in the movie, it was perfect!

I thought I saw one once but every time I looked, it wasn’t there

About the size of Al Gore’s ego.

neutrinos might each encompass a space larger than thousands of galaxies

They need to go on Neutrinosystem.

interesting theory, but it appears to me that it is more about “sphere of possible or probable influence”. It is misleading to say that the “particle is this big”... be really neat if the neutrino was not tied to space/time but to time...

OK, so I'm no quantum physicist, but it appears to me that this guy is equating uncertainty about where a particle can be, with the particle's size.

I get the feeling -- perhaps unwarranted -- that this definition of "size" does not equate to the dimensions of the particle itself.

Can somebody set me straight?

I think we’re gonna need a bigger universe...

Well, I view it philosophically, viz:
the Pythagorean says, "all is number", I say...
  1. How many finger am I holding up?
  2. What about letters?
  3. Must have been a big number that you smoked.
  4. What's the number for 9-1-1?

There’s also a topic to post about the Inflationary Universe (and it’s not even about the Obama Congress).

Nothin’s that big — except for Obama’s.

I guess they're going to have to build a bigger Neutrino Detector.

Where is the probability of that electron from my screen to read this at? I’m sure some of them have come back from other Universes. :) If you don’t know, make it up and get funding I guess...

Or photon. Sheet, maybe I made another universe just thinking about it...
