There's a short story that addresses the planned creation of a micro-universe in the book Vacuum Diagrams by Stephen Baxter. If I recall correctly, it did not end well. I belive that one of the races that evolved in the universe figured out what was going on, became enraged, and attempted to destroy our universe.

That's what we should really be doing: find the aliens that created our universe in a lab, and then decide to wage war against them.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Erm... This sounds like playing god alright. Without any solid idea on how to control this power, I don't really see this going well.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
The least that could happen if something goes wrong is that we just blow up the planet and possibly the solar system.
That's very interesting though. Reminds me of the Futurama when Professor Farnsworth created a universe inside a box, and then there ended up being many other universes. Most amazing jew boots |
Let me explain. No, is too much. Let me sum up: Will they pull this off? No. They can't even be sure if it works or not, they can't measure it. Is it a cool theory? Oh hells yea, and one that may one day lead to all sorts of interesting discoveries. Stop acting like the sky is falling on your heads and show a little interest in progress. If you want to avoid risks at all cost, go be Amish and build a fucking barn. The rest of the class wants to create a motherfucking universe What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD. |
Oh yeah. This is so going to kick those anti-cloning ppl into high gear.
FELIPE NO |

Didn't the Ancients in Stargate do this once?

I know that, but just because there's a short story about robots coming to life and killing their creators doesn't mean it REALLY HAPPENED. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD.

That's because it's called Science Fiction, you fucking ponce. The better sci-fi writers knew how humanity would make science work in the first place. Asimov always felt that the problems of progress would be solved by wisdom, and as a result put out the Three Laws of Robotics.
If we created a universe that operated on a time-space continuum more advanced than our own, and eventually a species would come into being that would recognize that their universe was created in a lab of ours, then sure why not? Stranger stuff has happened, and it's been perpetrated by humans. That problem doesn't exactly apply here, though, becuase as soon as the mini-universe breaks off from our own it stops existing within our universe. It won't be invisible in a lab or some shit, it'll have its own space-time continuum. To us and the rest of the universe at large, it won't for all practical purposes exist. I was speaking idiomatically. |
As cool as this sounds, I'm still pretty worried. I mean I don't wanna wake up one day and then STOP BEING. I haven't even gotten laid yet and the Japanese wanna risk blowing up the universe.
I'd rather they just find Zohar and make a colony ship escorting a super bio-weapon called Deus. At least THEN I know I'll be reincarnated, albeit artificially, with super ether powers and giant mechs. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Hey, if this does go wrong and destroy the universe, at least it will be quick and painless :P FELIPE NO
I forgot my old sig...

You say that like you've experienced a universe-destroying event before. We don't know! It's all theory and numbers that might not even exist!
It would be pretty rad if it was like some totally euphoric feeling and then PLOOP. BAD END. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Oh, actually if it somehow destroys our universe, then it essentially means it didn't conform to any of our current theories, so it might just as well stop time completely after distorting space in ways we cannot understand in the entire universe for a few moments, enough for us to feel it, and thus essentially freeze everything in an eternity of unimaginable pain.
EDIT: Seems like Kurado posted before I did. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Those Japanese really have no limit to their genius. I'm sure tomorrow they'll create a machine that instantly creates full-scale pyramids, and the day after discover to secret to teleportation. :biggrin:
A far-out concept, this notion of a mini-universe existing indepednently of our own. Can't say I really understand everything stated in that article, but I have to agree with the other posters in the respect that science has only evolved from risks taken. This would be no different. And hey, if it does go wrong, at least we'd most likely die instantaneously. At least I hope. How ya doing, buddy? |
It should be noted that the other "risks taken" involved injury to the inventor or scientists in question. Even when they dropped the H-Bomb, there was only a fear that it would destroy the Earth's atmosphere, not something that could wipe out our entire section of the galaxy, if not the universe.

Well there is another possibility . . .
IF the Christians are right and their God is the God, then He might come down and say "HEY! You are NOT allowed to do that, fuckers! RESPECT my AUTHORITAH!" and then send Japan the way of Atlantis. Who knows, maybe that's what actually happened to Atlantis, if it existed . . . How ya doing, buddy?

If nothings observable anyways... let just play it safe; lets not make one and say we did, mk? oh, and in your notes, be sure to mention high radiation, fields, instability, and w/e will keep you crazy scientists from trying things that affect our fabric of existance. I don't like this idea one bit...

No, you have to think that anime scifi is the real reality and we would just make one small step towards this sophistication. Japan being the initiators of course.

Haha, and you wonder how our universe was created? :P
Even though they're stating that it wouldn't affect our universe, imagine if they were wrong. That'd be a neverending nightmare. FELIPE NO
[RIGHT]

No kidding. But look on the bright side, we will probabley not know what happens if the universe does end. Most things in the universe happen to fast for us to percieve with our own senses after all.

Interesting theory. Although there are somethings that should not be tampered with....and this is one of them. I mean they may say that it won't ruin our space-time continuum, but what's to say if one number/symbol is in the wrong place or they forgot something? I mean it's happened in the past, but if this thing goes wrong with this exsperiment, it's going to be on a MUCH larger scale.
As I said, it's interesting and it sort of creeps me out a little. But I won't loose any sleep over it :shh: .... There's nowhere I can't reach. |
