Bulli:
intresting reading,
Therm i know there are no more atoms i was mearly saying that surely a student contains more atomic material than in 20 atomic weapons.
Certain theories are established as laws though, like gravity, which in our universe works in a manners which can be calculated and does not vary.
Sorry for being the eternal sceptic it just seems that nature rarely throws anything finite into the mix. PI for instance 22/7 yeah nice and neat but in decimal....

Well, there's no way of proving this (any more than we can prove anything else - we can merely say we haven't disproved it yet), and there are actually a few theories knocking around that suggest maybe gravity ISN'T constant! They can help explain things like accelerating expansion of the universe, which is what dark energy is also hypothesised to explain.

Ah, but pi isn't 22/7. It just happens that 22/7 is close enough to make it quite a useful approximation sometimes.
Being sceptical is absolutely right; it's only by challenging the received wisdom and striving to test our theories until they break that we make progress.
New Scientist also ran an article about 13 things in modern science that do not make sense. If anybody can't access the full article and wants to, then pm me with your email and I'll send you a PDF.

E=MC2 featured in a song called 'Einstein a go-go' by an 80's band called Landscape.
That is the extent of my input! :D

from your link to 13 things in modern science that do not make sence
2 The horizon problem
Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light
wrong wrong wrong with bells on and a cheery on top doing a lap dance
their is the speed of dark that will take you from one side of the universe to the other intently how very 1960's of the clap trap some prat with a PHD will write
