Matter is regarded as being constituted by a region of space in which the field is extremely intense . . . . . . There is no place in this new kind of Physics both for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality.
Until now, physical theories have been regarded as merely models with approximately describe the reality of nature. As the models improve, so the fit between theory and reality gets closer. Some physicists are now claiming that supergravity is the reality, that the model and the real world are in mathematically perfect accord.
I should say we know that there are many, many other Earths out there. We're almost certain that there will be upwards of a billion Earth-like planets in our galaxy alone, so there is no lack of real estate where life might happen, but what we don't know is how likely it is given the real estate, given a wonderful pristine planet like Earth how likely is it that life will pop up inhabited? We don't know the answer to that.
The Universe is not a collection of objects, but is an inseparable web of vibrating energy patterns in which no one component has reality independently from the entirety. Included in the entirety is the observer.
The thing about lucid dreams is that it's not like the real world where you are constrained by all sorts of things, including the laws of physics-you can do magic.
Science and the Ultimate Reality: Quantum Theory, Cosmology, and Complexity
A universe that came from nothing in the big bang will disappear into nothing at the big crunch. Its glorious few zillion years of existence not even a memory.
That's been our bread and butter so, honestly, we're not that worried about it. They've got to guard us too, and we've got a lot of firepower.
We just couldn't put them away. They just hung around, hung around. We had the lead. We had to put them away.
We have three games left (in the regular season) to give us some momentum going into March (Madness), which has always been our month.
I don't think you can shut down all three of us. If it happens, somebody (else) has got to step up. We do have the personnel to step up and score for us.
When the three of us are on, we're really tough. There are not a lot of teams that can keep up with us when we play like that.
You have to weigh the increased cost of electric service every month versus being without power for three weeks after a hurricane.
We run a 24-hour service (for passengers) and we also offer small-package delivery.
