It seems you have the picture messed up - check it again please? "A ball is emitted vertically upward at a speed of c=1000 m/s (v<c)," who checks to see if it is vertical? if it just not quite vertical for the external observer how is he going to adjust it?

1 chance in 39 of being lucky! not good odds.

You can guarantee that is happening.

You tell me the role the Pope made to this thaw in tensions. When you realize the role of the church your question seems unnecessary.

enlighten us then!

If you ever discovered a true anti-gravity machine, one that was able to bend spacetime in the local area, you would end up using the same mechanism for propulsion as well. You'd just have to make the spacetime fabric the right slope in front of you.

What do you know about my wives and girlfriends? WAG = wives and girlfriends

Is that traveling towards us for 13 billion years? They have not reflected off anything then came back to us?

The anti-gravity device means that it was able to cancel gravity between it and the Earth. A magnet is like a magnet and the Earth is also like a magnet isn't it? A craft could be made like a magnet too.

If there was no gravity and your device was like a magnet I think it would move in the Earths magnetic field. The trick would be to make it move in a useful direction? Magnets tend to align and move to the lowest energy position so you'd find yourself drawn to one or other magnetic pole. They are not a good place to end up in my opinion.

Something weird happened 2,000 years ago so you can't say it doesn't happen.

Is faith dependent on the Bible being correct?

If it did happen I bet he'd say, "why didn't you turn the clock back and make me 18 again?". I'd say, "But then you wouldn't have memories of your grandson Moontanman". Outcome: Moontanman had to be removed off the scene as well.

I believe it near impossible to sort out all the permutations of that post.

That would be unconvincing wouldn't it? That would be a type of reincarnation situation, and they aren't that convincing from what I've seen.

As Ophiolite says that would be so unusual, that NASA would be unlikely to admit it for they'd suspect UFOs. Either that or the supplies arriving out of the blue smash a hole in the ISS and then bringing the whole mission down. But it was a good idea, no more difficult than the Feeding the 5000, or parting the Reed Sea. Have you said "Amen"? Which Monday was it? Do they have Monday's on the ISS?

So when you accept proof, it will no longer be a matter of belief. What is proof then? What sort of proof do you need? Proof that I accept may still be not good enough for you. So you must say what sort of proof you need. (Like has this proof already been done.) Beside what has already been done there is a possibility that that "someone" is you!

That borders on a contradiction doesn't it. "accept the possibility ... but believe it is impossible" You can't have it both ways. It may be rare, I'll accept that. ...and you are a poet and don't know it.

That is not dissimilar to me. But when I asked for proof I got what I considered was an answer, but you have already dismissed this aspect as delusional (which amounts to an opinion really). Stalemate.

But none of what is being discussed is science. It is mere garbage, mere opinion. What is the scientific basis to it? Take Edearl's comment (above) for example: "I didn't loose my faith; I tossed it like a stomach full rotten drugs." That's not science. It is more like creative writing.

I am surprised a question like that is allowed on a science forum.

I was trying to comprehend what an evolving physical law might be like. Is it always through a coefficient? (coefficient = k) F=kMA where in todays "evolved" world that coefficient is 1.

"The time" and time are different things aren't they? "The time" relates very much to the Earth. Whereas time is the difference between two "the time" readings

Evolving laws and constants? Force nearly equals mass times acceleration evolving into F=MA! that is new.

That must be an original thought. I have never heard about it before. Thanks.
