Re: F=MA or E=MC2
^ interesting article, but it goes against your argument with aqua, where you debated (correct me if I am wrong) that mathematic can be used to explain the laws of physics, but should not be use to invent. The article you posted gives an impression that this two folks played with the probability theory and came up with the number.
BTW, I am not saying that multiverse idea is not a viable one. I mean who is to say that if an event (big bang/creation of universe) can happen once, it can’t happen again. In fact our universe survived on the principle that whatever happened once, can and will happen multiple times.
It’s not inventing mathematics. It’s called hypothesizing using mathematics. I see no contradiction. Yes, it’s probability calculations that we are dealing with.
