He knows he's wrong, he's just trying to piss me off.

dimethyltryptamine, a hallucinogen that makes LSD look like a little girls drug. Similar in effect to what you were talking about.

Everyone would not be taking drugs if they were legal. Drugs being illegal is hardly an obstacle at all for people who wish to obtain them. Furthermore, alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine are all legal and potentially addictive drugs, and so is salvia. Yet we don't see everyone addicted to these.

It's just easier. Should automatic crossbows be illegal? If you're hunting something (or even shooting a discus), and you miss, you don't have time to reload before you lose the target. Besides, it only takes one shot to kill something.

No they couldn't. All those things are mathematics intensive, and mathematics couldn't exist without a number system.

Not a modern civilization. Things like computers could never be built without some way of measuring quantities.

Position in space-time is defined as s(t) = x(t)i+y(t)j+z(t)k, and velocity is ds/dt. How can this be constant if a <> 0, let alone be constant at c?

Wow, you really have no idea whatsoever what you're doing.

I prefer straight PDF. PS is the most typical type of LaTeX file, hence GSView is almost exclusively used to view LaTeX documents. There is a significant quality loss in converting to PDF, so you should really install GSView... but here it is: http://fafalone.hypermart.net/lectures.pdf

Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

Ghostscript/GSView I'm surprised you use LaTeX but haven't even heard of PS.

I didn't even think they made a splitter for the motherboard hookup, but I agree with Sayonara, 300W is definately not enough.

Studies suggest that the speed of light is NOT constant over time...

But light moves at C, and obviously moves through spacetime quite rapidly.

DMT

It's just by definition.

it's a compliment. initiative is always a good thing.

Yeah but any 13 year old who's interested in this stuff would have already researched it on their own like you have.

Please don't post the same thing over and over again. Thanks.

You can't really apply rigid body dynamics to individual atoms, since they're not really rigid bodies, as 99% of the space an atom occupies is electrons, which are standing waves. But as far as simulating molecular interactions, ChemCAD is the way to go. Hopefully your university already has it, or it's going to cost $20,000... and it's not open source.

Guns should not be illegal because they can be used for a crime. By this trend, baseball bats ought to be outlawed because of the number of acts of vandalism and lethal assault they are used for. Knives should be illegal, because you might stab someone with them. And of course, you can kill someone with your bare hands. Make laws against the crime, not the weapon... because the definition of a weapon is far too broad. (On a side note for Americans, felt-tip markers are illegal under the DMCA. This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.)

What do people like me do at 1:40AM? Read science articles of course! While browsing a collection of old physics articles Nature had a special on, I came across one of particular interest. http://www.nature.com/physics/lookingback/einstein/einstein.pdf Einstein himself explains how he came up with general relativity.

Wow, I've never seen someone be that far off in spelling hallucinogenic.

I'd give it about a year before humans in advanced countries started dying...

Parallel universes are based on alternate probabilities, those things are simply not possible, which the exception of me playing tennis well, which takes place in this universe.
