Well, I finally found some good news regarding my theory of temporal uniformity. It looks like "Niayesh Afshordi, an astrophysicist at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada" has done all the hard work for me. Although I relate time as being a result of ordinary motion, the model proposed seems to be the concept I was trying to model. There are a few discrepancies, but Niayesh Afshordi is refining his model. Of course, this doesn't give credence to my theory, but it's finally nice to have someone professionally working on it However, it does sadden me a little bit knowing the mathematics has been structured beyond what I have done, but I'll keep working on my model to see how it compares.

I'd say these are Warehouse 13 agents lol...

Yeah, I believe it is fixed. Pages are almost loading instantly for me. Good job Cap'n!!!

This bioengineered bacterium is actually pretty cool, and has many practical applications. The most beneficial, of course, is the ability to fight disease, but we could also see bio-weapons being made with such a technique.

I haven't been able to read your blog lately. The page just won't load. It's quite disappointing too because you always have some interesting posts.

Thanks Imatfaal. Cap'n explained to me what was going on with the server. It seems that my blog is showing up again.

Yep... This pretty much sums me up lol

Will do! Thanks Imatfaal Edit: This is crazy!!! I checked to see if my blog, "Against All Odds", was listed, and it was not. I then sent Cap'n a message as you suggested. Then, I updated my blog entry, "A Window Into The Soul", to include the arrangement of the music I wrote for Externet, "A casa d'un drapaire", and my blog showed up in the list. So, I edited my message to Cap'n telling him not to worry because my blog is now showing up. However, when I checked the blog list after editing the PM to Cap'n, it wasn't there. So, I closed and re-opened my browser and now my blog is listed, but just now as I am editing this post, I went to get the link to my blog from the list and it is no longer showing up. I decided to test the list using a different browser, IE. I didn't log into SFN and went straight to the blog list. My blog wasn't listed. So, I logged into my account at SFN, and sure enough when I went to the blog list it showed up. I'm not sure if anyone else can see my blog listed. If everyone else can see "Against All Odds" in the list, then both, Firefox and IE, on my PC are having problems retrieving the list. If others are having the same problem as I am seeing my blog in the list, then it might be a problem with SFN's server not retrieving all of the blogs for the list. Edit: After checking multiple times, my blog seems to be showing up in the list for both browsers now that I have cleared the cache. I'm going to keep an eye on this issue to see if it occurs again, but it would be helpful if I can get a verification from others that they see my blog listed. I appreciate any help with checking this. I thought I was going crazy so I took screen shots of the problem: Here the blog is listed: Here the blog is NOT listed:

The comparison game. I know what you're thinking lol...

I've also noticed that my blog, "Against All Odds - A finite journey into the infinite", doesn't appear in the list. Of course, it's been quite a while since I've made of post. So, that may be the reason, but surely it should still be listed.

You have misread the article regarding the origin of the meteoroid. It's not a new type of meteor. The article clearly states that, based on the orbital parameters, the meteoroid might be from the main asteroid belt. The main asteroid belt is part of our solar system, and the objects it contains are not, as you have suggested, entering our solar system as we orbit the galactic center.

Researchers, Rajesh Rao and Andrea Stocco, from the University of Washington have performed the first noinvasive human-to-human brain interface. Here is the video they produced demonstrating their experiment. However, it's hard to tell what is actually going on. Nevertheless, it is still pretty cool!

I realize now that after having to write the solution for this challenge, that it was probably harder to solve than most of my challenges. Nevertheless, I am posting the solution because no one solved it, or shown interest in trying to solve it. I've attached the Mathematica 7 file for those who wish to download it. FactorMap.zip

I was joking and never intended for such correlation between the maps to be taken seriously. I was hoping the smiley hinted towards my intentions.

It's official. On August 15, 2013, NASA reports that it gives up on repairing the Kepler telescope...

Hmmm.... Has anyone else noticed a strong correlation between the following four maps posted on that website? Take a close look at Iceland, Norway, Sweeden, and Finland. Then compare North America, South America, Europe, Russia, and Australia. See what I mean? The data might suggest that alcohol consumption could lead to having sex at a younger age which increases the number of researchers who drink a lot of coffee...

Super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis Even like the sound of it, his breath is quite atrocious

This is about as religious as I like to get Don't worry! I'm sure there's a cure... Perhaps when we invent a dryer with a "fold laundry" cycle

While browsing Facebook, I came across a link to a very interesting website that has 40 maps that try to help make sense of the world. Although some of the maps are less than interesting, I found that quite a few of them are very intriguing. Enjoy!!!

Which is pretty much what I wrote:

After we finish collecting samples of Jupiter, let's grab a bite of .. on .. Earth

It depends on what you mean by larger. [math]-8000 < 7000[/math], but [math]\left | -8000 \right | > \left | 7000 \right |[/math] (assuming distance from zero or positive absolute value).

You are free to take a rep point away from John if you feel that way. Personally, I understand the satire of John's post. One of the biggest problems we have here on the forum is people do not clearly state their questions or answers, which leaves some ambiguity and can cause frustrations amongst other users. However, I also understand your point too, but it's always better to present your questions clearly. I believe John's intent was to encourage this deeper thinking when communicating (reading between the lines), and that is why I gave him the rep.

That's funny. I never thought about using zero or negative numbers. Of course, I tried to interpret the authors intent, but he didn't state that the number had to be a positive integer greater than zero. Positive rep to you for reading between the lines

The number 2520 is the lowest possible number that can be divided by all the natural numbers 1- 10. To find this number, I took [math]2^{a}\,3^{b}\,5^{c}\,7^{d}[/math] and figured out the smallest exponent for each prime that would allow the numbers 1-10 to be a factor: [math]2=2^1[/math] [math]3=3^1[/math] [math]4=2^2[/math] [math]5=5^1[/math] [math]6=2^1\,3^1[/math] [math]7=7^1[/math] [math]8=2^3[/math] [math]9=3^2[/math] [math]10=2^1\,5^1[/math] You can see from the above results that the smallest number that has factors of 1 - 10 is [math]2^3\,3^2\,5^1\,7^1=2520[/math]
