The space can be bent. I am firmly in the camp that everything is possible. Reason we aren’t in contact with other intelligent life forms is that we are too primitive. But things change a lot with every next leap
- PopePompus 8y agoNot everything is possible. There are things which are provably impossible. It is, for example, impossible to find an algebraic solution for general polynomials of degree five or higher. The things we know to be impossible tend to be mathematical, or a "real world" system exactly modeled by math, simply because math tends to be the way we conclusively prove something.
- negamax 8y agoMathematical/Geometrical fact: Parallel lines can never intersect. But will they not intersect if I bend the space? When you say on algebraic solution exists, that doesn’t mean no solution exists?
