Silvestru

Hmmm I see the discussion went in a different direction but for me the premise is flawed. What if I'm a psychologist, the catholic church, a stripper? I get paid. Where's the energy relationship. And if you say that I need electricity to power the lights in my office, I swear to God....

Hmm that's a bit more (and too) complicated for me but it has to do with gauge symmetry. Basically frequency doesn't determine charge. Actually as far as I know I'm aware, we don't know why some fundamental particles have the charge that they do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_theory

frequency

I have a dark joke in mind but I will restrain. It has to do with the direct proportion of sandwich ingredients to women.

So kind of like the pac-man map where you end up on the other side if you pass the edge? If you would make it spherical. Interesting.

Love it. I will put it next to my Big-foot action figure and my bag of Aether. They all sit on top of my flat-earth play-mat.

I don't know. Toys R us would be hesitant to create it as the sharp edges could injure the children. But the colors are great!

Then let me add Gunpowder to the fire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Great_Inventions The Four Three Great Inventions are: Compass - I guess we ruled this one out. Gunpowder Papermaking Printing

Yes but more of a request to mods to investigate. Also I don't understand the role of the pictures that the OP insists on re-adding. Actually I am super confused by this thread. I don't see what's the problem. OK, the Chinese spoon compass was crude... So what? Who cares to whom the invention is attributed to cheetaman? This nationalistic pride is dangerous. We are all children under the same sun. Arabia was for some time the "science capital of the world" between 8th and 11th century. Things took a left wrong turn in the meantime from a science point of view. Not sure how that relates to this thread but the randomness of facts seems to compliment the thread style.

If I wasn't sure that you are a sock puppet I would engage and ask you what your agenda is here. My Polar-sense however makes me think that you are a banned member who does not want to take part in a civilized and productive conversation.

I totally agree with you. But you mention : You made me think what other more productive things are there to do? I mean as a species. Aside from developing technology to explore the Universe and how it works? I really couldn't think of anything better from a science perspective. Of course there are things like World peace and all that but it's not much lower on the productive scale.

Well to be fair, we already know most of what we can know about ants. But if we discovered another civilization, even if it was less developed than us on a general level, it might have much more knowledge in other fields. Kind of how like each civilization here on earth had something to bring to the knowledge table.

Let me guess... You are Italian and you always lived with the idea that the compass was invented in Italy. You saw a mention that it was first invented in China. Anger ensued.

I never had an interest in Philosophy and actually all the subjects I loved in school were because the teachers of said subject was cool rational and patient. After reading some of your posts and this peer review part it made me want to include philosophy and subjects related to it in my short reading time. Give me a few years and I will come back and try to peer review. About "Notes to Gee" I agree with some but I have also seen people being against the grain and thinking and airing their own independent ideas. Even if maybe they are not correct, the members were explaining them in a logical polite manner and they were getting support with the additional corrections if needed.(this is a unicorn scenario but it happens.) Don't loose faith. This forum is gaining traction. I'm sure there will be people you will be able to have a fruitful conversation with in the Philosophy section.

The problem is that most of the times in science, you have a correct view based on observational data and you can have a wrong view based on too much tinfoil around the head. For topics like Politics and Religion, it's not so clear-cut. Which is the better party? Republican or Democrat? Neither What is the the speed of light in a vacuum? It's super fast.

Nice post Ken. Faith in human patience restored +1

Would Gravitons have an anti-particle as well? Or is it it's own antiparticle? (as Wiki and other sources suggest) So...they kind of travel faster than c? I am a bit confused. (after further reading I found the answer to this question: virtual particles aren't confined to the interiors of light cones: they can go faster than light but cannot carry information.) Would gravitons or virtual gravitons be "producing" the gravitational attraction? Why are they even called gravitons if not

Hello Forum, I need to create a SharePoint page and all is going well except I don't know how to add a drop-down filter like the one below. so when you click on the tiny arrow, it expands. I would appreciate any help on this. Thank you!

hehe we don't know for sure but yeah.

Sorry if hijacking but I was reading a paper about the theoretical mass of the Graviton. (Mainstream assumed to be 0, the below paper explained that is the mass would be non 0, it would explain the cosmological constant without need for dark energy) Cosmology from quantum potential: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1404.3093v3.pdf It's very short.

Why are you on this forum. I really don't understand it. If you want to brainwash people, these skeptical, reasonable folk are not your crowd. I can recommend the Trump party forum for that.

Well to give you just an example, a lot of this "evidence" that you claim is before Christianity so it technically belongs to the Hebrew and Islamic religion. L Ron Hubbard(Scientology) is very well documented historically and the guy wrote sooooooo much BS. It is without a doubt that he existed. Actually there are infinetely more chances that he existed that Jesus. Should we fall on our knees now and join Tom Cruise?

There are many models. I can give you examples of models that don't require a beginning. Also:

You are a teacher right?(that's a bit scary reading your comment) Evidences excavated by new Testament? There is far more "evidence" and historical artifacts in other religions. That doesn't change a thing. And about the last part, you can find people sacrificing themselves in all religions. Are all of them true? I made this point before but if you never heard about Christianity and I would give you the bible to read it, saying nothing about this book, would you just tell me it's a great work of fiction or would you build a church and pray to that "God"?
