Okay, this is WAY too deep for Newgrounds, but here goes...

What if you proved some mathematical or scientific formula, say E=MC^2 wrong? This would, of course, be a mathematical/scientific impossibility, but the fact that you have done it means that you have somehow done the impossible. Once you did something like this, it's possible that reality (as you percieve it) would break. So, in theory, it would be possible to "compromise reality" as it is seen in the Madness series. This, of course, would have huge consequences. Everything as we know it would change. Much like a bee that realizes that it's tiny wings should not be able to carry it's huge body, you would begin to challenge so-called "facts of life". Gravity would stop working, you could walk on water, time travel would happen, etc. Once reality was broken, you would (in theory) gain the ability to bend reality. How cool would that be?

Bees do not violate the laws of physics anymore than the Diesel Turbochargers do, right now computers have failed in order to accuratly predict the way they move. The theory right now is to think of a bee's wings akin to a helicopter than a plane.

Also, if that equation is proved wrong, reality will not break, it simply means Einstein was wrong and instead a new theory will be made.

I don't know what thread you read, but the paragraph at the top of the one I'm reading was a pile of garbage.

I don't know what's more hilarious, that you think noticing a logical inconsistency will somehow make gravity stop working or that you think this is so far beyond the minds of us Newgrounders.

Nothing is concrete, especially not our interpretation of how the world works. There is no way to completely know if we are right or wrong. You don't understand shit though. You derive your knowledge of the universe from a fucking flash cartoon and then you call the rest of Newgrounds retarded.

You wouldn't be altering reality.

Perception of reality would have been the only thing skewed....
(Either the existing perception, or the new one)

Its like saying grass is red.

Saying it is red does not change its color.... its altering your perception of red, or grass.

So... If my perception of reality is wrong...that would unmake it?

Wouldn't I just be wrong, plain and simple?

Even if it was possible to prove Albert's mathematical and scientific studies wrong, it wouldn't change or break reality in any way. We would just find out we were wrong.

Just because you disproved something that everone else that was right, it doesn't mean that reality would fall apart. If that was so, then it would've happened when it was found out that the world wasn't flat.

Bob - The world isn't flat
Tom - Yes it is, duh!
Bob - (Disproves Tom)
Tom - SHIT!! (Reality falls apart)

Reality isn't going to change, it was always as it was.

Wow. I thought you were being serious for a sec there. You took shit from a GAME and tried to apply it to real life? How exactly is that anywhere near to reality?

Good luck dodging bullets.

But they haven't. And even then, it wouldn't' be compromising reality, you would only be proving a *theory* wrong. Nobody has ever proved that it is correct in the first place.

You might as well ask, "What if someone could did something that isn't possible?" (it's a lot less words)
The fact is, you cannot do something that is not possible, because that contradicts what the word "possible" means. If you did something, it means it is possible.

If E=MC^2 was proven wrong, then reality wouldn't change, just the way we see it, well the scientists anyways.

you should honestly not ask questions like this till you realy understand what your talking about. The formula E=MC^2 (energy= mass*the speed of light squared) is only an explination of our perception of the physical world. Its not imposible to prove it wrong (extremely improbable that you could do it) but when proven wrong it wouldnt change anything.

The untill just a couple hundred years ago the common beleif was that the earth was the center of the universe (which at that time was only earth, the moon, the sun, venus, and mars). that was proven wrong but earth didnt fly out into space or implode into non-existance did it?

As well its been theorized that the laws of phisics may not be the same between galaxys so who knows, in Andromeda E could equal M/C^3. (that hasn't been proven yet its just interesting)

Scientific theories get disproved all the time. That's why they are theories, and not Laws. Scientific Laws, with more advanced technology can be proven wrong.

If you achieve something which was once thought of as impossible, it wasn't really impossible to begin with, you just didn't have the technology or knowledge or resources to achieve it at the time.

I very much doubt anything is too deep for Newgrounds, people just, like to say silly things,
Anyway, Err, i don't think it would.. The only thing that would happen is loads of scientists would start researching until they found the real solution and you would get millions of monies of your choice.
Hardly breaking reality.

So you're saying that you disprove a theory, and then shit goes to hell?

Theories are disproved all the time. Lamarck had a theory that animals wanted to change to improve themselves, and therefore changed over time. This was discarded by Darwin with his theory of natural selection.

Theories have pattern and process. If they are incorrect or incomplete, reality isn't suddenly compromised.

Your perception of reality does not alter reality. You are an observer of reality, if you happen to get it right or wrong, it doesn't matter to the universe. According to most theories anyway.

And btw, constant is not so constant.
