I don't think so, most people would flounder if asked for a definition,
even for a commonly used word. Instead whe

I had the impression that this was already considered to be a possibility - that the
current state of the universe might be a false vaccuum (or something like that) which
could eventually drop into a lower en
By the way not worrying much because very high energy cosmic rays (that have
been recorded with energies even, on rare occasions, exceeding the
Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuzmin limit -- the theoretical limit to how powerful a
distant source cosmic ray can be) are hitting things (including our own planet)

behaviour (e.g. bee dances are complex but I imagine instinctive, like the
dear old spex wasp beloved of Prof Dennett. Animals (and birds, I think)

Yes I also wondered if this occurred in black holes, but of course we can't
find out well not safely, or communicably! If these energies don't
occur in SN etc then I certainly don't see us producing them in the near

the limit, which was, of course, all I was suggesting. If *anything* does
this, then the idea becomes highly unlikely, because it should have already
happened.

Some pretty amazing adaptive behavior with clear strategic awareness. It shows
what even a small fish brain is capable of (small as compared with a humans
almost 100 billion neurons)

Wow! Maybe the old cartoon representation of a light bulb appearing over
someone's head when they have a brainwave isn't so far off the mark.

Hi,
Has any one figured out how Hawking for that number and will you explain
it to us? Do energies of that scale even occur in the formation of black
holes?

For the second question, as Brent pointed out physical quantities go to
infinity (or more realistically to the Planck scale) in black hole
formation. In other words they probably go as high as the universe will
allow - but since they're (normally?) inside an event horizon, we won't be
able to obser
