yes what you said, god, does make sense.. I didnt mean to imply that if there is such a connection, then it can mean that I can, for example, make the sun go blue just because we were all once together.. more like, that we could theoretically understand the universal pattern by looking at each of its individual parts, or something like that
ok the vacuum fluctuations was a bit unrelated to what I had said before..
it was something like this:
quantum physics predicts that even in a total vacuum, there will be charges, so to say.. If I remember correctly, they explained it by saying if you put 2 metal plates very close and paralell to each other in total vacuum, there shouldnt be any measured electricitiy/magnetism because its pure vacuum.. but that what actually happens is that there IS magnetism/electricity measured, as a result of vacuum fluctuations. This is because of virtual particles coming in and out of existence.. Since in usual terms, the virtual particles are countered by their opposite, resulting in anihilation of both, then we dont consider their existence in our daily life, but for quantum physics they are very important, particles that dont even really exist, springing in and out of existence
so what I was talking about is sort of relating this to the whole notion of big bang, where the universe started in one single instant, from nothing, basically.. So I imagined if it might be possible that our universe is sort of like a virtual particle that appeared out of knowhere and at some point might be eliminated by it´s counter part, or not, who knows..
in any case, my point was that we can look at the big bang in many more ways than just ´ok the universe was all in a singularity, suddenly it appeared by chance and thats it, its all explained, you can all go back home ppl´
for me its sort of like explaining the formation of the images on the screen of the tv, by showing what happens on the hardware and wiring inside it, without realizing this doesnt say anything about the real source of the images which are only being captured there.
btw druglessdouglas, I have a question for you.. do you have any idea if the ´superstrings´ theory talks about octaves? I mean, do the patterns of the strings vibrating also obey musical octave scales?
