There is no explanation for how an entire reality full of Matter can be created out of nothing...

The implication of the new subatomic physics was that certainty was replaced by probability, or the notion of tendencies rather than absolutes: «we can never predict an atomic event with certainty; we can only predict the likelihood of its happening»... This directly contradicts the mechanistic model we explored above, and it implies that a subject such as normal birth needs to be looked at as a whole rather than its parts...»

But he says the inconsistency almost certainly reflects a problem with the measurements rather than strange physics.

Rather than using substances known as metamaterials to hide objects in plain sight, some scientists instead want to use the strange materials to build windows into worlds with fundamentally different physics.

Professor Aneta Stefanovska from Lancaster University, who has been studying the physics of biological oscillations for over 20 years, said: «Combining the technique to noninvasively record the fluctuation corresponding to cerebrospinal fluid and our sophisticated methods to analyse oscillations which are not clock - like but rather vary in time around their natural values, we have come to an interesting and non-invasive method that can be used to study aging and changes due to various neurodegenerative brain aging may begin earlier than expected.»

Guth: Let me add one other thing that could be seen at the LHC, which I think would make most of us unhappy if it's seen, but we could see evidence for more fine tuning in nature than we've already seen in the cosmological constant; and that would be taken as evidence for this multiverse, anthropic picture where the laws of physics are not determined by fundamental principles but rather by a wide variety of things happening and certain things selecting for life.

But the crazy thing about empty space, weighing something --[well,] there are many crazy things — it produces a gravitational repulsion, rather than the attractions so the expansion of the universe is speeding up; but this stuff is so mysterious and inexplicable — completely inexplicable right now — that many physicists have been driven wild and mad and have changed what we might mean by fundamental physics by suggesting, for example, that the fundamental concepts in nature are not really fundamental at all, they are accidental; they are an environmental accident; that the are many universes and we just happen to live in the one that has the values it does because if you changed it a little bit then we wouldn't be living.
