Phi for All

Part of the problem is that folks who don't read mainstream science probably won't read what's posted here. The methodology doesn't always seem intuitive. Some folks think it's all guesswork and they just want to toss their two cents in the ring like everybody else.

I read much more than I post. swansont is an atomic physicist working with the US Naval Observatory's atomic clocks. I thank him every time GPS works and my phone guides me to my destination.

Here's where studying evolution would really help. Eggs don't evolve. Evolution is the change in allele frequency within a population over time. So what happened was that a creature who was almost what we classify as a chicken laid an egg that became eggxactly what we classify as a chicken.

Folks, even in Speculations we don't bring up religion, and for several good reasons.

! Moderator Note That's enough! Stop posting garbage that's demonstrably false in our mainstream science sections.

https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/why-do-small-dogs-live-longer/ I'm not sure this reasoning is good. Some fruit trees live as long as some house cats. And some smaller animals live much longer than some larger ones, as CharonY mentioned. And besides that, trying to make humans bigger in order to extend life expectancy would seem to create more problems than it solves. Better healthcare, better nutrition, more attention to safety, all these things show a much better chance of succeeding. You like herring, do you?

Cats, in general, live longer than dogs. Small dogs, in general, live longer than big dogs. And yet the oldest trees aren't the largest. It's looking like your idea is incomplete. And like most phenomena, there is no single scientific explanation, especially for complex lifeforms (don't say "energy lifeforms" unless you're prepared to define this for us). There are lots of factors in this instance besides size. Some lifeforms (like cats) live longer because they live a more isolated life, and aren't as prone to disease as herd and pack species are. Some creatures live in stages where size has less of an impact than function. We're already getting so big that many babies have to be cut out of their mothers at birth. Bigger size means using more resources, and that's another "big" problem. I think your solutions are far too simplistic for the complex stuff you're talking about. I really wish you'd put that wonderful mind to use studying mainstream science rather than trying to solve all problems with a hammer you made yourself.

! Moderator Note Making things up isn't how science is done. Perhaps you need to start a blog somewhere. Everyone here is interested in discussing mainstream science.

! Moderator Note This isn't mainstream physics, so I'm moving it to Speculations, but it's got some problems you need to fix before it can be seriously discussed here. "Continuum" is actually defined by its wholeness, and the fact that it isn't divisible. Also, energy is a property of things, not a thing itself, so the universe can't be "made of light energy". Also also, using the non-scientific term "founding fathers" wrt the geometry of space is just confusing, so you may want to study some terminology instead of making it up.

! Moderator Note This is a mainstream science section. Please keep your pet ideas out of it. If you can support any of this, start your own thread in Speculations, please.

Love it. The two stories I'm thinking about most right now? That Russian tank that swerved to crush that civilian vehicle, and how the tough old man survived while his fellow Ukrainians helped free him from the crushed wreckage. I'm juxtaposing that with a story I heard about what the Ukrainians are doing to Russian soldiers they've captured. They're encouraging them to phone their families and friends back in Russia. "Let them know that you're safe and unharmed, because your loved ones must all be freaking out that you were fighting and now you're captured, right?" These are the kinds of things Putin can't stand up to. Right isn't always in might's corner.

He's also anthropomorphizing the universe, and we all know how much she hates that!

At T=1 second, neutrinos were decoupling to form the cosmic neutrino background, so we're past the "one tiny particle" state. Are you kidding? There was no Earth at the time, nor was there EVER an Earth where human bodies existed in a degenerate state of matter. You should study science instead of trying to make it up on your own.

Stop right here and support this sentence with actual evidence. This is the part you're assuming, the part that makes your reasoning circular.

! Moderator Note You need to focus on ideas you can support with evidence. Try to avoid lumping everyone in a profession together (all archeologists?! all geologists?!). Study some mainstream science (the early universe was tiny, and too tiny for stars and planets, and the matter that eventually became China was NOT scaled to fit). In other words, humans have accumulated a great deal of knowledge so you could study it, instead of making stuff up from square one.

! Moderator Note This is NOT logic, and doesn't meet the requirements for a science discussion here. You assume too much, and build on such fragile foundations. This is a science discussion forum.

You're using a circular argument that begs the question of whether reincarnation exists. The argument assumes too much.

! Moderator Note Our policy of not attacking people extends to all people. Focus on ideas and actions, please.

If you could first establish support for this idea that there is some kind of "artificial electricity that pervades the atmosphere", it might help others understand what you mean. What is "artificial electricity"? What things have this property? You get 5 posts on your first day, as a way to protect us from spammers, so tomorrow you can perhaps support your ideas a bit better? That would be great, thanks.

! Moderator Note Moved from Politics to Speculations.

! Moderator Note We don't need ideas from maniacs. We need supportive evidence, something more than your opinion, before we can discuss your ideas. Wishful thinking is NOT interesting enough for discussion, since anyone can make up anything they want, the way you're doing. We need ideas that are testable, that use reason and methodology to help us arrive at a hypothesis we can actually support.

! Moderator Note This is the Religion section of a science discussion forum. What you need is any kind of evidence to support this idea. Since it's describing an extraordinary claim, you'll need an extraordinary amount of evidence for it, especially since the null hypothesis is "the story of Jesus is fiction". Just making claims without support is hand-waiving, and it's not interesting enough to discuss. Do you have more support for this idea?

I don't understand what this means. If what was true? Why do you think zapatos was laughing when he asked you if you feel better? Either way? Which two ways were you talking about? I couldn't follow what you were talking about in that post. And the rant before that was very long and covered MANY points. When you're trying to make a point, it's best to come to it quickly, and focus on one at a time.
