Math descriptions Math describes any systematic system. It may or may not have anything to do with the universe (ours). There's plenty of math...
FermiLab & Earth They'll keep getting: "One day older And deeper in debt!"
Superstring gravity According to string theory, the gravitron is one of the string modes in which the negative mass caused by its vibration exactly...
Trillyuns and Trillyuns... More bumph. There are 100s of billions of galaxies at most recent best guess, not trillions.:rolleyes:
