Is the opening of the NOVA program a Calabi-Yau space? It is actually best seen in the closing credits of every current Nova episode. ow.ly/bgOKn I've always wondered if it was meant to be one. |

In what sense does the universe have an outer edge? @RonMaimon, a function with an infinite number of variables? Hey, that sounds like causality. All of the possible values for all of the possible variables within the manifold of spacetime. Am I mistaken? You assume that I have enough back knowledge to make sense of these pages on Wikipedia. I do go there. That's how I got the basic definition of Hilbert space, but it still didn't serve to explain what it is for me. What you said was a lot clearer. |

In what sense does the universe have an outer edge? @RonMaimon: I see. Does it describe particles in superposition then? Its all quite a bit foggy. I'm starting to realize how people feel when I talk about technology. It is the Math that keeps me from really understanding. I'm trying to visualize these very non-intuitive ideas. |

In what sense does the universe have an outer edge? @RonMaimon: You mean like particle wavefunctions? Like how a particle exists as a wave function throughout all of spacetime? Like probability waves? I'm still unclear. |

In what sense does the universe have an outer edge? Ok, I have an answer, albeit still very foggy. Suskind's surface is, in fact, the cosmological horizon? I thought it also might be the surface around any arbitrary region of space. I take it Hilbert space is a generalized form of Euclidean space that can have n dimensions. I can kind of see what a density-matrix is, sort of. I don't know what de Setter space is. I don't actually have a degree in any of this. I really need to finish reading "The Road to Reality." |
