You start up with JQKAJQKAJQKAJQKA , cut once to something else, reverse the cut (ie pretend to cut but actually chose the exact place to end up with the same as you started with), deal: 1st 2nd 3rd 4th player 1. j j j j player 2. q q q q player 3. k k k k player 4. a a a a Read down column one then two etc and you will see that the original order is still there. In fact with this trick the cuts don't even have to be that clever. Just make sure that both time you always cut to an ace (last card you pick is an ace) and the order will be preserved

The numeric string 010271 appears at the 1,135,207th decimal digit of E The numeric string 3141593 appears at the 7,550,758th decimal digit of E The numeric string 667408 appears at the 1,984,196th decimal digit of E. The numeric string 167262 appears at the 5,185,365th decimal digit of E. I call shenanigans - my birthday, Pi, G, and M_p all in first 10,000,000 digits of Euler's for 8 digits you need more patience The numeric string 01021971 appears at the 32,524,228th decimal digit of the Square Root of 2 The numeric string 31415927 appears at the 22,527,250 decimal digit of the Square Root of 2. No point in doing G as we are only sure to one (ish) part in 10thousand The numeric string 16726219 appears at the 36,596,663rd decimal digit of the Square Root of 2.

Misquote - this rejoinder was addressed to Halley when Newton was questioned about religion. The Einstein quote is pruned a little - the paragraph starts with the line Which rather dulls the impact So one quote was wrong and the other was so far taken out of context as to mislead

In the absence of any proof I treat it with the same amount of credence that I give the ancient Greek heroic epic sagas; I think that, bearing, in mind this was 2000 years ago in one of the most war torn parts of the world that it is very very unlikely that any incontrovertible proof will arise. On the issue of the Creator - he could easily show us that he exists but either decides not to, or does not exist. We can never prove that there was not a prime mover behind physical creation of the universe - but again in the complete absence of any proof to the contrary we will continue to believe that there was not. cross posted with Bender. plus what he said.

Because it would be wrong. The space is expanding in between us and them - they are not moving through space at a relative speed greater than c

! Moderator Note 1. You're tripping on mushrooms - observations are invalid. 2. Psilocybin is - I believe - not strictly legal for general public in most of the jurisdiction that matter to this forum. 3. This is neither physics nor neuroscience Thread locked. If you must open a thread about consciousness then either psychology or philosophy forums are the place - but let me say this; threads which rely on a special knowledge withheld from those who do not have resort to psychotropic/hallucinogenic drugs tend to be seen as soapboxing

Just less than the speed of light. Always less than the speed of light. A third party observer might measure a gap increasing at greater speed than light could cross - but the relative velocity through space is less than the speed of light

Let's get off the topic of moving faster than the speed of light - even (especially) as a thought experiment. It is not possible and contrary to known physics - any conclusions will be a bit pointless.

1. If you think that you have solved it as in you have realised ( or even better produced a full analysis which shows) why it doesn't work then maybe if you are interested in setting up a dialogue you could start talking to an academic. But it is not a new problem and has been shown not to work in many different ways - so do not expect any real kudos 2. If you think you have solved it as in shown why it works then really do not bother. It DOES NOT work and the vast majority of academic will just spam bin anything which say that you can get energy for nothing. One or two slightly odd academics do collect false free energy ideas for a giggle - but you do not want to get in their "crackpot's folder" https://youtube.com/R1gDOyQDRxM?t=16s

Frankly, right now the Onion is as serious as most of the mainstream press. We do not have anything of the complexity and professionalism of the Onion but we do have the Daily Mash. To be brutal we (in the UK) used to mock the USA for having an infantile bawdy sense of humour and failing to appreciate satire and irony - now the situation is almost reversed. Even "highbrow" comedy in the UK is pretty puerile compared to that of my youth - and we have little that compares to the daring yet still political humour in the USA

Here is the paper http://www.spacetelescope.org/static/archives/releases/science_papers/heic1706/heic1706a.pdf I think Strange is correct and their phrasing is extremely sloppy. What they mean is that the event took place 1.2billion years prior to our present observation - which of course is not 1.2billion years from now but much much longer (8.24 Gly I think) I think this means "1.2Gyr before the situation we are currently observing"

! Moderator Note Ok - this thread has run its course. It is abundantly clear that the OP has scant understanding of the basics of mathematics, physics, and cosmology - we do not provide this space for people to blog their latest fantastical pipe dream. The speculations forum exists to allow members to test their idea - but these tests necessarily rely on compatibility with current theory, mathematical consistency, and the possibility of empirical evidence and comparison to the data; this speculation does not even allow the possibility of such testing. This thread falls well below the standards required for the Speculations Forum and is now locked. The OP does not have permission to reopen a new thread on the same topic.

! Moderator Note The argument and evidence provided by the OP both fall short of the standard required in this forum. Thread locked - you do NOT have permission to reopen a thread on the same topic

Cancellara gone and now Tommeke - Spring will never be the same again

Something which can be so easily explained as an artifact of the number system is not that interesting in my opinion. But then most of the stuff I find interesting I don't really understand

Sorry - but don't trust any network unless you trust and know the person administering it. Password security for WIFI networks is very very poor (it's the meatware end that lets the side down) and once the nasties are in then they are snooping, sniffing, and phishing

! Moderator Note Off-topic and not the way science works. Do not hijack discussions with tangential remarks and please be aware that the "refute or confirm" gambit is the tool of the crank. If you can replace the core of your argument with " a teapot orbiting the sun somewhere between earth and mars" and not really change the import, validity, or evidential value of your claim then perhaps it is best to not make the contention in the first place Do not respond to this moderation within the thread.

epura? Does it mean projection, transformation, or correction? Each of the diagrams has a line which is transformed in some way (A-->A' etc.) with a point in the middle of the line being the ones the OP is interested in

When it was really tough Hinault was unstoppable - he was a bit of a brute was M. le Blaireau. I presume you guys are still in a state of national mourning for the retirement of Tommeke - I so wanted him to win PR; but fairy tales sometimes don't come true
