It looks like you have the qualifications. I'll take some time to read throughly your wonderful post, and your blog. I run out of time right now. Anyway: Welcome.

bolded mine Very interesting post. Where did you find the information about the hill under the pyramid? And where did you find that the ramp theory has been debunked?

Use the scientific method: _get to your mom a brand new kettle, let her heat the same quantity of water and observe the difference when pouring (this can be disturbing since we are talking about your mom, but you have to eliminate the case of deficiency in 1. human interpretation and 2. human hand stability) _something else that comes to mind is that some kettles are not made of a solid-block piece of metal but consist of a recipient of thin metal on which a solid thick plate has been collated as bottom. It is the case for most kettles designed for electric heaters (in contrast with kettles used for gas heaters). If this is the case, as I understand from the picture, then maybe the thick bottom has slightly decollate from the recipient. You can check that, when it happens the bottom is not exactly flat anymore and the kettle doesn't stand correctly right up on the electric heater. If you use such a deformed kettle, the heat will not spread evenly into the fluid, the water will boil in a peculiar way and after a longer time. This has no influence on the pouring though.

You wrote: Nature is essentially "lazy." If potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy (i.e. the potential does work on the particle) then this is reflected by a change in the Lagrangian: L=T-V. Nature doesn't want to do work (...) What I say is that this constatation is not compatible with the BB theory. A nature that "doesn't want to work" doesn't create billion of billion of galaxies full of burning stars. True. I don't care looking silly. That was me! My wife may agree with you. The neg was not for you, it was against the 2 positives who vote without thinking twice. The least action principle is the most disturbing observation. Following this principle, nothing would never start. What we observe in classical physics is a principle that works into a system that already flows. But to make this system flow, you'd need another principle, exactly opposite, that we observe nowhere. A principle that would say that nature likes to spread energy away, in conformity to the BB hypothesis.

hmm. The BB is not a natural phenomenon ?
-
You must be correct. Thank you.
-
The existence of the universe itself seems to contradict that "Nature is essentially lazy". The Big Bang is not a lazy thing.

what insect did that? see pictures below What do you think? Note: I don't know the answer.

If you could be God for a while what would your first acts be?
michel123456 replied to Alan McDougall's topic in Religion
Thank you. If you look at it from some other POV, one could say that human beings are little gods, since they constantly struggle to correct the natural misfunctions: _knowledge is not transmitable through genes so humans created books & schools. _medicine allows surgery and motherhood without pain. _men build shelters & homes to protect from rain & wind _medicine has made huge improvements against diseases of all sort _even elderness is now under the scope of science _humans try to eliminate deserts and create gardens where he installs _the other points are under scope. -

If you could be God for a while what would your first acts be?
michel123456 replied to Alan McDougall's topic in Religion
I would make knowledge transmitable through genes. I would share the feeling of pain between the one who suffers and the one who gives pain. I would put switches to eliminate pain at will. I would eliminate hurricanes, earthquakes, floods and all other natural disaster. I would eliminate diseases of all kinds. I would eliminate the situation of elderness, together with alzheimer and parkinson. I would eliminate the deserts and create a garden all over the world. I would distribute evenly natural resources all over the world (and not petroleum here, fresh water there and gold& uranium somewhere else) I would enlarge humans hands a few centimeters so that they can scratch their back. I would reserve my last point for another post and certainly not stop with only 10 changes. -

michel123456 replied to Alan McDougall's topic in Religion
That is confusing. Your first act would be to kill. All the people who believe in you (god) because they disagree with you (human being). -
Well, I think that's all relative. I am at the centre of my universe, so my universe is here (and now). Ineluctably, your universe is here and now too, only that's your "here" and your "now", not mine.

Mod: "PourMonBien, you made a very serious mistake! I'll punish you." PourMonBien: "what I have I done?" Mod: "Shut up!" (PourMonBien is shutted up) ...time passes by.... PourMonBien: "I did nothing, I was injust..." Mod: "Shut up!" Member: "PourMonBien should stop complaining!" Mod: "Right." PourMonBien: "I shut up." Pitiful example of human behaviour on all sides.

Excellent example. You can put that on my diagram and understand why you cannot observe "multiple frame of my existence receding from me". ___________ Oops, I didn't realize Aethelwulf had been banned (on his own request??). I'll miss you Aethelwulf.

Why we will never make first contact

I remember having read somewhere that as the signal spreads away, it loses its strength very quickly and becomes a "noise" no other hypothetical alien civilization could recognize. -
This below is a very rough spacetime diagram: The past is the low half of the diagram, the future is the half upper part. The present is the bold horizontal line. The observable universe (that is "everything") lies on the diagonals of the diagram. The present bold line is empty, only the red dot, yourself, belongs to the present. The future is empty, i.e. it is not observable. One could argue that the future does not "exist" since it is not observable. The universe lies in the past: everything except yourself is in the past.

I think you are wrong. I maintain my post.

Right. I should have stated "Wait a moment. The energy the Earth is made of was also created in the Big Bang. So, this energy has also traveled billions of Light Years. And so, what we are looking at very far away, at the edge of the observable universe, is our creation as well (and not only the birth of very distant stars & galaxies)." Though any material is made of some energy.

Q. Do things exist? A. Yes, things exist. (the universe exists) Q. Do things exist in the past? A. Yes, things around me exist in the past. The more away from me things are, the more in the past they are. Everything I can observe is in my past. Q. Do things exist in the present? A. Yes. Actually, only one "thing" exist in the present, and that "thing" is myself. Q. Do things exist in the future? A. tricky question. The future is not observable, so the answer should be "No". But the future is relative: we are in the future of Napoleon, and we exist, so the answer should be "yes". What's the problem?
