  1. Depends on the energy range. This may indeed be true near the Planck range. The effect, even if it exists, is probably unmeasurable at our currently accessible energy range.

  2. Not really. Both require concepts that are unlikely to be available at the fundamental level.

  3.  @canonicaltom  Could be. I don't take either approach seriously. Or, lets put it this way, I have a feeling that string theory might be an approximation near the singularity of a black hole... but so what? That's completely untestable unless somebody is suicidal. Physics is not very enjoyable when you get torn apart by tidal forces seconds after you shout "Eureka! I was right!". I think the real solution will come from ideas like Nima Arkani-Hamed's and Jaroslav Trnka's amplituhedron. Now that's down to earth theory that starts with known facts and takes them to a new level.

  4.  @Vilohit-gy5kt  It must seem that way to people who had too much to drink. :-)

  5. Dude, why are you telling us that you don't understand either? We didn't ask and we don't need to know. ;-)

  6.  @gerbenhoutman9348  Stupid people who are voting for folks like Putin and Trump because they can't think straight. People very, very similar to you. ;-)

  7. Even if we could, what would that get you? He was increasingly wrong about physics after 1915.

  8.  @B3RyL  Not sure. It might have been brain structure. It's an interesting question for the neurologists... can a successful person be replicated? Maybe twin research can give the answer.

  9.  @B3RyL  I can easily find 100 smart kids and give them the best upbringing. No need to have a genetic clone of Einstein. Of course most of your brightest kids won't even develop an interest in physics and most likely your Einstein clones wouldn't, either.

  10. That only makes her boring. We are teaching this to kids in kindergarten these days. ;-)

  11. Dude. Time is that which the clocks show. We teach this to five year old kids. Were you absent from life that year? ;-)
