Steve, I think you are confusing logic with intuition here. Just because the concept feels strange and contradictory to imagine doesn’t mean that it’s illogical. The math is the logic. As we were discussing before, many theories in physics begin as theoretical, mathmatical models before scientists conduct real world experiments to test them against reality. The mathematical model is exactly what demonstrates that the theory is...theoretically, logically possible. Whether or not it comports with our physical reality is another story, but neither Grand nor Poly are asserting that it does. They’re simply showing you it’s a mathematically sound theory, and therefore, there is no logical contradiction. You keep saying it’s not logical, but you haven’t pointed out any failure in the logic. All you’re doing is saying, ‘I just don’t see how his could ever be.’ That’s simply an argument from personal incredulity.
