What do you mean by "imaginary time"?

Great, and Yes. Done. I finally understand what you mean and again REALLY I think I have misunderstood your meanings. BTW, thanks. And one question again, if I have the power to think of -1 as a learning process, then what about the others? Will they think the same? They just likely feel the same, not absolutely. Just saying.

So, when we reverse the inflation, and the universe will be much smaller than now and time will be reversed. I think so. That is my hypothesis but without evidences. I welcome anyone to falsify my hypothesis. You see, after Big Bang, the universe inflate and expand and time runs forward into future. So, when we reverse the situation, the opposite happens.

Great, you seemed like understanding me even better than my mom. I am not only starting this thread for myself but for the others that were being hurt in this forum due to just simply a (or more) -1. I know what you mean, i understand. i really understand but I don`t think -1 is the only way to learn things like that but teaching you lessons behing every -1. There should be other ways and can still produce the same effect as what you say, and at least not that hurting. And why not just ban the user when a certain pre-set limit is achieved. Let say -5. If someone gain a total reputation points of -5 or worse than it will be automatically being expelled or have their membership terminated. Then, the problem is solved. I am most welcome here? How can you conclude this fact without showing me any prooves? I think I am the most hated member in this forum for posting hurting posts and topics like this one-Why Reputations?... And I seemed to have annoyed many experts, moderators and administrators.

Do you think it is economical?

You know, your words: "You received one more negative reputation point and it hurts you" scares me. I did thought I am being -1 again. Ok, so I won`t interfere adults` matter, is that ok? But, wait a minute, adolescences and adults share the common "space" in this forum. Why don`t the administrators create a brand new forum specifically for teenagers but under supervision of adults. Then, no problem of interference. If you say I shouldn`t interfere adults` matters. This means I shouldn`t create this topic at first, and this is what you mean? Because reputations system is adults` matter and adolescences cannot interfere and speak but only use the system.

I think time is just simply a measure of the expansion of the universe. As time passes by, the universe continue to inflate and vice versa.

You must wait till quantum computers are all the rage then only it is possible to estimate which is powerful. I forsee the future as the quantum computer will be functioning with a faster speed if compared to today`s computer. The function won`t change that much, just quicker and quicker and more complex calculations involved can be solved but human brain will still dominate the creation of quantum computer, at least before intelligent automatons take over humans` place and duty.

Lightnings flash everyday. Can lightning be a source of electricity?

Ok, thanks. In other cases? Does it fit the bill anymore? Yes, I agree with the fact that sometimes -1 is the best option but there must be a way that is exactly the same as -1 but at least not that hurting as -1 although the message is the same-tell you what`s wrong with you. Punishment is always needed but can be in different ways and different magnitude.

Ok, that is a moderator`s job. I understand it. So, no more alternatives? Why don`t just ban the user and that`s all. Keep advising is just a waste of time for those offenders.

Ok, dude is not that rude and harsh. Anyway, don`t think of smiles all the time. It is not the problem of smiles, it is the problem of your altitude and expectation.

How can it be possible that a post can be made by more than 2 users/posters? So, it is very clear that every posts made by a poster clearly reflects his/her personality except his/her account is being hacked. I know that members give positive and negative feedback on the post itself and not the poster but when we trace back to the source-it is the poster. It is also ridiculous for a poster to have 2 personality. For example, poster A posts harsh words and inaccurate scientific theories in a thread but then he post another post with clear and vivid explanation about religion or other mature science fields and get +2 reputation points in the second post but -2 in the first post, so offsetting each other and you get zero. This is very unlikely to happen.

Kidding has a limit. Not exceeding the limit is ok but when harsh words like stupid, freak and dude are entering. Then things go wrong.

Good sugggestion but that signature is just to reminding me of not asking for reputation points. So, be humble. Ok, it is ok. I will change my signature. What do you mean by I am doing well? I am just a secondary school student, anyway. The same advice as Mr.Ophiolite`s. So, no sorry but thanks. Thank you, Mr. Phi for All.

There are separate things but same source-you. They criticize your work because it is you who have done it. It is your problem that leads to your work being criticized.

No kidding, Dear Mr.Phi for All. I am serious. The word freak should not be used too. Please take others` feeling and perspectives into consideration. Thanks.

A theory without evidences? Are they still finding evidences?

You mean I am ironic?

I think there must be other alternative ways to produce energy apart from heating quicklime. The sun is a good one and it is readily available, at least for another 4-5 billion years.

But the post is made by the member. The member determines the quality of the post. Why don`t just ignore it? Then, no more neg-rep and saves time.

Try not to use the word stupid, Mr, Phi for All. It hurts as you can refer to the post "Why Reputations? It hurts..." and there is a section about the usage of the word "stupid".

I meant the real physical bombing but that was just an expression and now I will be more careful whenever I post/reply a threat. I am not a bad student anyway.

You mean I had reach the border of Science. Then, I should push the limits.

So, we can understand more about Pluto.
