Neutrons escaping to a parallel world?
-
PhysOrg:
the loss rate of very slow free neutrons appeared to depend on the direction and strength of the magnetic field applied. This anomaly could not be explained by known physics. Berezhiani believes it could be interpreted in the light of a hypothetical parallel world consisting of mirror particles.

You got link there Chris? Sound interesting. (Not that I'm going to understand more than 5%...)

If you were talking about Keanu Reeves the actor, I would think you were discussing neurons escaping to a parallel world...

Looks like the link re-appeared after visiting the parallel world ;)

How so? In science, if the current explanation is wrong, adjustments are made to try and correct it. In theology, if something is wrong, it magically isn't because some guy thousands of years ago/a book/some old guy with a title/etc said so. Parallel universes have not been proved to exist or not exist, so they are still a possibility, even if they sound crazy.

Usually science formulates a theory and then there's a lot of energy spent trying to prove/disprove such theory. The fact that a theory is formulated does not necessarily mean it's the truth.
I agree. However, using other universes to explain that which we cannot comprehend seems like a cop-out. By that definition, so is religion. People are just waiting on the proof of their faith, which in theory they won't see until after they die and thus cannot be proven to those on the other side of the (living) universe.

Every religious person who believes in a higher being falls under this category, whether they like to believe so or not. The only difference between science and religion in this regard is that we take it as "fact" what the wise men say because they are "learned", whereas we take it as bullshit what the religious say because they are "ignorant". Science is ever changing, I agree. Unfortunately, religion is about the end game and that cannot be proven, IMHO, when it is infinitely far away. Religion will always be more about the why, whereas science is more about the how. I do not see them as opposites.

No, we take it as fact when they prove they are correct. Religion has no proof (hence the need for "faith"). Also, no one is taking neutrons escaping onto parallel universes as fact yet. Right in the introduction it says "hypothesis". That means it is an idea that has yet to be proven or disproven.

Unfortunately, not every one sees it that way. For example, people who refuse to believe the Earth is billions of years old, regardless of evidence presented, because their religion doesn't agree. And it will always be the weirdos who stand out and give the rest of a bad name (in anything, religion or otherwise).
