Back to Maths again

Okay, you have a point, i will have to rephrase my statement.

Maths can be used to prove or disprove a theory combined with our observations or experiments in the real world.

There has been no way of properly experimenting with gravity at a quantum level. Because the force is so weak the scale of the experiment we are talking about is ridiculously large. Apparently if we were to make an atom hold itself together through gravity, the atom would have to be the size of the universe.

Yet maths has proved many of the theories on gravity wrong. Admittedly we have to take into account our observations on how gravity works. You obviously know that most of the gravitational theories have produced infinite or zero results. This was calculated using maths. Then combined with the fact that we knew gravity did not function this way in the real world, we knew the theory to be wrong.

Higher Dimensions

I agree with you that a 2d being will not be able to interact with the 3d world. The energy needed to do this, as you stated, is the energy of creation. Which is why string theory is the closest theory we have to the theory of everything. It is also a theory on creation.

However if we intersected their 2d world with a pen they would see the effect of the 3d pen in their 2d world. This is why we still have hope that string theory may be proved one day, with out having to re-create a bit of the big bang. We may be able to detect "Shadows" of higher dimensions.

Physics has had its fair number of theories that were claimed could never be proved. In the 19th century they thought they would never be able to prove what the composition of a star is. The technology to reach a star and experiment on it was beyond them, and is still beyond us. Yet we can tell what makes up a star using spectroscopy, because each element has is own "fingerprint".

So our main hope at the minute is that we will be able to detect a "Fingerprint" from a higher dimension, because creating enough energy to probe a higher dimension is centuries ahead of us.

1+1=2 <- Can you proove or disproove it? No, it's a logical operation.
E=mc² <- Can you proove or disproove it? Yes, it's a theory and it can be prooved or disprooved.
There is no difference between these two equations.

x+x = 2x

And the reverse for the other equation, i will turn it into a number equation.

m=0
0=0*300000*300000

What is the difference between the above and your first example?
