As a matter of fact, it has been recently discovered that there are people who have a different "consciousness:life functions" ratio than the normal 1:9. Somebody in Florida (I think) had a 15:85. I'll look for the article. And yes, gravity is a theory. But a theory doesn't just mean "imaginary." A theory, in science, is "a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, esp. one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained or a set of principles on which the practice of an activity is based." It's just a set of laws. Einstein explained gravity as a force that acts in the fourth dimension, basically. There's a big rock placed on the suspended cloth that is our universe. Place a marble on that cloth, and it will roll downwards towards the center of gravity of the rock that is pulling down on that cloth. The same thing goes for the planets being pulled towards the sun, only one dimension higher (added) with the law of conservation of angular momentum applied.* If we had a way to travel through the fourth dimension, space-time would be frozen from our perspective. If one were to measure the discrepancies of space-time itself, it would be evident that there can be individual differences in multiple timelines caused by changes in time itself. I'm sure you've heard of the Multiverse Theory (or at least seen it on Family Guy lol) but there are some well-respected physicists who suspect that the Multiverse may contain an independent time with a will of its own.
*There is another theory stating that because of waves/discrepancies in space-time, the planets think they are on a straight path to the sun, but the directions are all messed up because of the ever-changing nature of the universe itself. Although within said theory the waves would have to be constant then to keep the planets from eventually crashing into the sun or each other on their orbits (or at least constantly changing in relation to the current speed, direction, and location relative to the sun of each planet in the entire universe) and therefore the theory itself would be contradictory to the Multiverse; not that the Multiverse is generally accepted itself, but I've always had a thing for it.

This is way too serious for general chat :confused: I'm not very good when it comes to science.

Science is so smurfing boring.

I have a large problem understanding higher level physics. Can it be explained without using:
- difficult concepts
- mathematics
- physics
? Serious question. If not, where should I start? Don't be telling me to read hawking - I've done that already.

Evolution: (SPOILER)sad to say, but on our measly planet, we are the pinnacle of humanity. We're not going to evolve into something better. Maybe we really did evolve from cromagnon or whatever that guy's name is (homo dumbfoundus?), but we're going any further.
(you) say life on this planet has been evolving for millions of years. I say this planet has only existed for about 6000 years. Maybe life existed before this planet. Maybe we were dropped off here by the scientologists in a last ditch effort to save the remains of their civilization from impending doom. Maybe all that we know has been grossly mutilated by prejudice and tyranny and the superior knowledge of our ancestors from offworld is forever lost in the annals of time.
Fact is, men come from women (womb+men). That's how our race continues. Obviously, there must've been a first. But was that at the beginning? Maybe it was at the end! A time traveling spaceship that travelled along the moebius and arrived here on Earth. Who knows?
Astrology: I've never given any merit to astrology. Those fortunes you read from jack-nuts all over the frickin world are nothing but a running joke-of-a-scam. However, The Big Bang Theory had it's reputedly smartest character Dr. Sheldon Cooper explain that women are not alone in experiencing seasonal hormonal shifts... that men can "man-strate"... lol... If we take into account the timing of a man's "man-stration" or a women's time of the month, and factor in their date of birth and the equivalent information about the parents by whom they were raised. It may, in fact, be possible to completely predict a person's life because you'll know the decisions they'll make thus allowing you to predict where they'll be and whom they'll likely meet and what they'll do in those new situations. Of course, to think this far ahead accurately, you'd have to frickin' Sherlock Holmes!

Somebody explain to me how the big bang lead to a 3D analog of a horseshoe shaped universe.

You know what? This may have been a bad idea.
