Hey /sci/guys. Out of all the natural laws, which do you guys think might be broken by SCIENCE!!!?

Or maybe there have been a few that have been broken already? Anyway, thanks for considering this for a minute.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 13 00:56:09 2013 No.5897613 >>5897609 >how do you figure that? If you can get a universe from nothing, you can get energy from nothing. Pretty sure that's exactly what zero point energy is.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 13 01:00:40 2013 No.5897620 >>5897613 pretty sure you're wrong 1. nothingness doesn't exist 2. energy didn't come from nothing 3. zero point energy isn't energy from nothing, it's just the lowest possible energy state matter can exist as

Anonymous Sun Jul 14 18:19:34 2013 No.5901181

>>5901106
The amount of information needed to completely describe a system.

If you have a beaker full of a liquid A and a liquid B, you can track the positions and number of molecules in each beaker, or you can simplify the system by saything that everything in beaker in beaker A is liquid A and everything in beaker B is quiquid B. If you mix them together you lose the ability to simplify the system.
