Somebody said this to me

RE: Somebody said this to me
Phil, understand that I am seriously curious as to the conversation here and ANY information you have via links is most welcome.

The reference to Zen's post is that you seemed to think that both our posts were linked and they were not. Texting has such limitations does it not??

As I have saidregarding
Phil Wrote:In case anyone is really interested, the maths that Zen linked to is from a guy named Mike Adams and he claims to be a cell biologist. It doesn't really matter what one is since the math is clear but the problem comes when he doesn't take anything other than his limited knowledge influence him. By limited i am not "dissing" cell biology. I just mean he is ignoring entropy. For two widely separated particles (a high entropy state) he is claiming that they will be attracted into a low entropy state due to gravity. That isn't entirely true though. First off let me say that the reason a high entropy state (particles separated from one another) is much more probable than a low entropy state (particles touching) is simply that there are just many more ways for the particles to be apart than together. Next mistake is his failure to take quantum effects into consideration. Let us for arguments sake claim that the two particles are locked in a course that will cause them to meet when suddenly (as is wont to happen due to quantum fluctuations), a pair of virtual particles forms very close to one of the particles. One or possibly both of the virtual particles "bumps" into the particle and knocks it off of it's collision course. Not too probable but much more probable than what our cell biologist claims. Then there is the natural repulsion of electrons that occurs when electrons get close to one another. Pretty much in an expanding universe none of this will matter anyway since it is mostly a fantasy that two particles would ever meet.

IF you have any information that can direct me to any peer reviewed papers on the above topics I am very happy to read them. Big Grin Don't get impatient with me because I am not as informed as you on this topic. Big Grin
