2017-04-13 at 8:33 AM UTCI'm good at bringing very difficult technical concepts down to a normal level of understanding. I'm happy to answer and explain any science related stuff!

2017-04-13 at 8:37 AM UTCwhat is technically wrong with TDR? is it the same thing as spectral, or more like Sploo's disorder left untreated for decades?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

I'm sorry, this is a scientific thread and TDR/SpectraL/Sploo's retardation is beyond the current scope of human knowledge and reason.
Although I can speculate. -

Okay Johnny, put down your lollipop and papa Falcon will tell ya:
Everything is made up of smaller things. Like your Lego castle is made up of Lego pieces. And the Lego pieces are made up of small pieces of plastic, all very tightly joined together. Those are called molecules. And those molecules are made up of very simple pieces called atoms. These are very tiny; so small you can't ever see them, even with a microscope. And atoms are made of even tinier pieces called subatomic particles. And those subatomic particles are made up of even smaller things, which scientists think might be points, which means that they are so tiny that they aren't big at all; they are not wide or long or tall... At all!
But some other scientists now think that they may actually be shaped like strings, rather than not being long at all. The reason is that by doing so, they can explain things like gravity (which is why all things fall down), why it really exists. The way these strings wiggle and move is what makes everything happen the way it does.
But there's a problem; you know how we have up/down, forward/back and left/right? Well those are 3 sets of directions we can go in. We also know time has a before and after, so in a way, that is a fourth set of directions we can go in. But for the strings to be the explanation for everything, the universe would need 10 sets of directions altogether. Can you think of what these might look like? Well you probably can't, because we only really know three of them, and time. Nobody has ever seen a fifth or sixth or whatever set of dimensions. And that's a problem, but some scientists came up with ways to make it work, that is to say that they think all these other directions are so teeny tiny that nobody can see them, and in our daily lives, we can't really feel their effects.
But there's another problem; many different scientists who all think that everything is made up of these tiny strings, have different ideas of exactly how to make it work. That is to say they have different theories about the nature of these strings. And all of them don't agree, and all of them don't explain everything.
So some scientists came up with a theory called M-theory. This theory was meant to take all the other theories, and roll them into one. This would mean that M-theory CAN explain everything! And to top it off, M-theory gives us one extra dimension, creating a total of 11. And if we can find some way to test it, it will mean that our entire universe is made up of these tiny strings, and there really are 11 sets of directions!
Now back to baseball, you scamp.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
