You excel at stating the obvious but are less successful at selling a pig in a poke.

I cannot believe JohnD is being allowed to so openly troll here. He badly needs a vacation from this place, and we need a vacation from him.

Since expansion is not the movement through space, how is that connected to Relativity? How is the passage of time modified by expansion? Are you saying time is modified both by expansion and relative velocity through space?

So you acknowledge that the body is alive, but cannot accept that any of the things that compose the body (heart, lung, cells) are alive. Again, you are only leaving the possibility that "life" has nothing to do with the actual body, and if that is the case, what option do you have but to believe that life is a non-physical entity floating around somewhere waiting to inhabit a physical body? Your argument is not convincing.

The only time travel show I can remember watching was Time Tunnel. And that was so long ago I can't even remember if I liked it.

So I suppose you were lying when you indicated you didn't know about why we might not be here tomorrow. If you are not a troll you sure are doing a good imitation of one. Of course it has. Do you think we've not observed people eating? Food being digested? Proteins being made? Where have you been the last 200 years? This is Biology 101.

Are you at all familiar with how the world works? People die. Every day. Often with no warning. That is why. Geez.

But they are not on their own, right? They are part of a larger structure? And the larger structure is alive? And the structure will not be alive without those molecules? Sure we have. We eat the apple, the apple is digested, the molecules are used to build proteins, the proteins are incorporated into the body, the body is alive. In a similar way we have discovered how molecules transform into a building. The ore is mined, the iron is smelt, the girder is manufactured, the girder is installed in the building.

Every atom in your body remains 'non-living' when looked at on its own. But they are part of a larger structure; that is, the body. The body is alive, and the molecules are part of the body. If you exclude molecules as being alive when part of a body, then you are essentially saying that life exists even when the body (i.e the atoms) does not.

Not quite sure what you are getting at, but we see the transition of non-living CO2 into living trees.

No, not at all.

Mmm. Sounds tasty! Any impact on your health from consuming foam rods as they break down? Allowing a slow drip from a faucet also helps prevent pipe rupture if ice forms.

Congrats on narrowing it down! My issue turned out to be the same. And the pipes are under concrete. My pool guy told me that they cannot run a camera because the pipes are narrow and there are generally a number of connections and turns, and since they didn't do the install they don't know the layout. In addition, based on the type of pipe used 20 years ago they know from experience that those pipes break down due to years of chlorine running through them, which is therefore likely the problem. Thus finding and repairing only the leak, even if they can find it, will mean I still probably have a lot of bad pipe that will just leak somewhere else sooner or later. They suggested digging it up and putting in a new line. Someone else may say otherwise but that was their take on the situation for me.

There is not time limit on curiosity...

Oh, sure. That's a great idea. Very simple.
