Why is it difficult for empiricists to accept quantum mechanical probabilities as fundamentally unexplainable facts about the world?

I know if one where to go into one of these they would stretch as well as light and anything thats close now my question is do you stretch to the point of infinity or do you just dissapear?

I'm sure atoms have a shelf life of some kind, but i was wondering how long it would take from say birth, before all of the atoms of which you were made of would of been replaced?

This is interresting because it would mean that although you still exist you arte infact made of completely new matieral, you are a new you!

Physics can very accurately describe the behavior of the elementary particles that make up matter, but doesn't really say WHAT they are. They're treated like mathematical points. Is there any way to describe just what particles -are-? Concentrated energy? Vacuum field fluctuations? Projections from higher dimensions?

I know that dynamic equilibrium includes inertial forces unlike static equilibrium. But... then what else differentiates them?

Thank you, Steve, Phillip. If my question is correct, I am not confused anymore. In some books use E=1/2(Icm+Md>2) to give E(rolling)=E(rotational,CM)+E(translational). In my humble understanding, it is not a good way because the body turns about CM, the parallel theorem is not applied. By accident, the coincidence happens only!The explanation must be vice versa. In some case, for example, the circular motion of a particle also gives 1/2mv(squared)=1/2mr(squared)w(squared) by accident. However, the circular motion is different from the rotational. Right?
Thank you all for sharing with me, especially for Steve's sharing.

Why it can't be in square or even triangle shape? Is this related to refraction?

Because the rays we can hear are of 20hz to 20000hz & infrasonic rays are of less than 20hz. The 20hz rays are very loud

I am interested to know, your collective thoughts on whether you believe time travel to be even remotely possible, please ellaborate on your ideas, for example how do you believe it would be achieved, such as, folding the fabric of time back on itself in order to bring present and past back together. I look forward to your Answers!

So can it not be reasonable that God still created all that is here in this universe through evolution/physics despite all religions documentations which much of can not be substantiated? I think if you excluded all the religions of the world there would be more credible evidence of a God.

If there is no god where did everything come from? If you answer this question too, you better say something a lot more intelligent than the big bang theory, I do believe some people probably have an intelligent answer.

I understand that most Evolutionists believe in the Big Bang Theory. I have studied it myself and it's a fascinating idea, but I have two doubts about it::

1) If matter cannot be created nor destroyed, then what would there have been to go "bang"? And how did it get there in the first place?

2) If energy cannot be created nor destroyed, then what made the supposed "stuff" go "bang"? How did the energy get there?

Please try to be as detailed as possible as I am genuinely looking for an answer, and not trying to back you into a corner.

An astronaut 60kg stands on a tiny moon of mass 1.0x10^18kg and radius 1.0x10^4m. How fast would he or she need to run to put himself into orbit? could this be done?

What does it mean to put yourself into orbit? is it something like moon around earth? Please explain and provide examples.
