Big Science: The 10 Most Ambitious Experiments in the Universe Today

How can you say that these are "The 10 Most Ambitious Experiments in the Universe Today" when we don't know what, or who else is in the universe with us? :)

And why limit it to this universe? I don't think PopSci is thinking large enough! :)

in the universe? phh...tau ceti II begs to differ.

how about a follow up article titled
"The 10 most obvious problems with the title: The 10 most ambitious experiments in the universe today"

1. We KNOW that without a sahadow of a doubt that we can NOT even confirm what's located within the boundry of our own solar system yet, nevermind the neighbouring ones or the ones located in the nest spiral arm to the left or right of us, nevermind on the other side of our own galaxy, nevermind even accurately detect or even locate a planet in another galaxy....

2. We spend BILLIONS of dollars on theoretical science that can not yet be proven, we teach it in schools, and yet this headline ignores the well reasoned theory that there is other intelligent life out there right now conducting their own experiments that are even mightier than the ones we're doing....

3. We don't even know how big our currently exsisting universe is, nevermind even accurately count how many galaxy are out there.. so nevermind ruling out 2. in all of those galaxy that we have no clue about...

4. Popsci can not report on 'multiverse' and then ignore that possibility by calling our universe as THE, as in the one and only.. instead of "this universe".

5. .. go see number 1 and insert any one of the many extra points listed in that group of reasons all clumped together in one long running messy mix of strung along facts that don't quite make up a real sentance...

6. in all of the civilisations that may have existed, who's to say that one doesn't have a forever (or almost forever) running experiment that is still running long long long after they've been gone. (that would be ambitious indeed!)

7. what if this universe is an experiment in itself.. or if the universe isn't the experiment, but instead the container which holds the experiments which are actually the galaxies which each hold cultures of living worlds throughout them, where events are recorded and presented in a grade 8 science project belonging to an alien who had his daddy show him how to use his mighty universe tupperware container to cultivate these galaxy star clusters. (that sure would explain alot!! LMAO!!)

8. sorry my imagination just went on break..

9. what makes YOUR idea of ambition better than MINE? i say the coca cola vs pepsi blind taste test is the most ambtious of all! so there!

10. i'll take "sorry popsci but you're WRONG" for $200 Alex :)

... we now return you to your regularly scheduled programme

cheers, eh

Geez people! Let's not be so picky about PopSci's use of the term "Universe". There may certainly be other intelligent life - even more intelligent than ours - in the Universe, but reality is dictated by what is known. Today's reality is that we don't know of any other intelligent life in the Universe. Thus, in my opinion, it's not a stretch to use "Universe". I know a bunch of you will disagree with my intelligent reasoning. :)

By the way, if you do know of other intelligent life in the Universe, please enlighten me.

I think the more correct usage of universe in the article's title would have been "Big Science: The 10 Most Ambitious Experiments in OUR Universe Today"

Using OUR instead of THE limits both scope and absolutes.

Truly disappointing isnt it? Have no doubt the PopSi is right but we all might have a different opinion to what is ambitious and what should be ambitious instead. From here there is no other way than developing quantum physics and we could save mountains of billions of Euros (sorry dollar is dead) by not following the dead end Einstein / Hawkins physics. Project 5 might serve but truly we got to go beyond materia and remove time and follow endless dimension in holographic shape of the universe.

I think there is a lot of anger towards the scientific community. The anger stems from the "truth embargo" that all of science seems to be infected with. We know the military has their rules which can result in death if broken. Many of the suppressors feel it is their duty to do what ever they are told to do "for your country". They will prevent power from being distributed freely and equally because "knowledge is power" the truth (full knowledge) is being kept from us. We are made to pay for the outrageously expensive programs and for the guns that will kill us if we step out of line. So the great reality in our Universe is that we are being kept like slaves and told not to think past our wars and our bellies! Is that all there is? Pictures of alien cities on asteroids and moons can be downloaded straight from NASA and computer enhanced enough to convince the user that previously broken and barren terrain is actually a space-age city and that the inhabitants must be very much alive.

The Truth Sets You Free ! ALKALINE BATTERIES HAVE MUCH MORE ENERGY TO GIVE YOU, but you can't get it out of them. Joules testing reveals that there is more than 2x more energy in alkaline batteries that can be accessed (you could think of it as a 64 bit hardrive that allows you to normally use only about half of the potential capacity).
www.DoubleBatteryLife.com we use the patented circuit board every day in our flashlights everyday in our work! We GUARANTEE IT WORKS ! THIS IS A GAME CHANGER !

The Truth Sets You Free ! Did you know that we can get all the energy we need simply by temperature difference (huge in this world: IE STERLING ENGINE)> SOME PEOPLE have run 10' pipes up mountains and power their houses using wind turbines in the pipes, the temp difference is huge.
Did you know that the solar shingle co is being driven into the ground bankrupted as we speak, why: because oil monsters (0pec arabs) are driving them into bad ways. They buy promising alternative technologies and then bankrupt them deliberately. IE EV1, SOlar shingle co's Uni-SOl, ECD, and also the NiMH LARGE FORMAT 15 min recharge battery! Yes when you call ECD, and NIMH battery co's they don't even have sales departments???? Why: Because they don't want to sell anything but OIL !! OIL Wars fund their flunkies, now they want to make everyone use only OIL so they buy alternatives and drive them under; declaring them "not feasible" failures. But in fact its the opposite!

The Truth Sets You Free ! OPEC ARABS laugh all the way to the bank everyday ! Foolish westerners giving all their money away !!

You can some more exciting work which doesn't cost a fortune on my site, Seems we forgot to evaluate many basics cautiously enough before we sat down to write big grant proposals.

Ya know, this looks like a picture of an engineer to someones motor boat! Zoooom!

I know how!
Are All You Blind???
This is the way they say - That we use your money!!!
Few years ago I see "Governtment press conferance" 11-12 hour long where they give us to know that Alien worlds will give to us right to fly to other worlds if we destroy all nuclear weapons!!!...
All other is big lie...

just looking at those equipment makes me dizzy. But with the money that's been poured in them, I wont be surprised what they cant do.
