Well, this thread is getting to be long, so I'll just say it:

Right on.

It's a waste because many companies probably wouldn't build more things with it, but just keep the extra money for themselves.

There's a special saying for people like you, and it's "your creating the world you want to live in". If your not going to bother to even put a tiny bit of energy into caring about other people, its likely people will treat you the same, so if that is truly the type of world you want to live in, you can keep acting that way if you so desire, but many people know better and know how a society works, so they at least put some effort into trying to support others. Being poor is not a genetic disease or condition, it is an economic circumstance someone happens to find themselves in. More black people are poor because they often still don't get as many opportunities as a white person. A white person will often get hired over a black person, probably because people like you happen to be a manager, and their ancestors were never educated after slavery was abolished, so they lacked education to teach to the next generation, and being poor, they could not send their kids to school since public schools use to actually cost money. Assuming black people commit more crimes when white people make up 70% of the US population, otherwise known as racial profiling. This is why restorative justice exists, because modern justice isn't infallible and it doesn't consider anything beyond its own set parameters. Do you think it's right for a person to go to jail just because they can't get a job and don't have enough money to go to school? The question isn't whether or not they were wrongly convicted anyway, it's whether or not their conviction was ultimately fair. If you think about it, it's kind of hard for black prisoners to not dislike white people.

When I say oscillation patterns, I more or less mean the evolution of their wave functions over time, or how I can actually model the physical dimensional coordinates an electron is likely to occupy over time, and with all the quantinization you have the specific orbitals that they have, that's why nodal surfaces are generated. Physical probability is any real probability greater than 0. It seems only one way it makes sense that electrons and protons don't combine if in fact they do come into contact with each other is because they don't actually come into contact because they oscillations just never line up the right way. It might have to do with some extra-dimensional mani-fold physics and time symmetry, because in mere 4 dimensional space, an electron should combine with a proton if it ever came into contact with it, since in 4 dimensional space, if I just run 2 waves into each other in a 3 dimensional tank of water, they are going to hit each other. Unless maybe there is some kind of weird ionization energy except with combining? But I don't see why you'd need that.

I'm not seeing how that works though, could you be more specific? Because I think even in modern theories virtual particles still have many properties or real particles, such as their speed limit being light. http://en.wikipedia....irtual_particle If they are massless but are comprised of energy, like light, wouldn't they only be able to travel at the speed of light and nothign more or less? Also if one appears but there's an instantaneous reaction, shouldn't changes also happen instantaneously? And how could virtual particles exist without a particle to generate them?

Are you serious? Ok, most basic but common example in the world: A kid born to rich parents in the US, a kid born in Rwanda where they are forced to become a solider. In the US, there are still remnants of the era of segregation, so a much greater percentage of the black population is poor and there's even still some discrimination at jobs and with stereotypes. I don't think you have any sort of degree in law. That's called racial profiling. Whether or not black people actually commit crimes, we can't determine, but we can determine they get convicted at a much higher rate, and it's because of scenarios like the one I presented where there's not much they can really do.

I already know entanglement is tested, I mean actually traveling near a black hole, which I don't think we have the technology to do right now, and I already know information isn't transferred, but the interaction itself should be instantaneous to all points of reference shouldn't it? I don't see why it wouldn't especially considering there aren't two objects to transfer information between and thus not break relativity... I guess I could see how many-worlds could arise from the paradox, but I thought even Stephan Hawking said that paradoxes don't exist in reality. Ex: What came first the chicken or the egg? Not a paradox, the egg came first because the egg was laid by a slightly different species, in other worlds, evolution.

I don't think this is a "its whatever answer you want" type of question though, I think this is a specific scenario that could even be tested one day. And like you were describing, information wouldn't be "transferred". According to the mathematics, two entangled particles "are" the same particle and thus information is not being sent between two objects, but rather there is just the undetirmination and determination of the single state of a single object which consists of entangled particles, and that doesn't break relativity.

I'm trying to come up with a general formula to describe irrational numbers, by using the general summation of (1/n) , like an infinite summation of (1/3) = .33333333333 = 1/3, which isn't irrational, but I suspect irrational numbers can be decribed by some sort of summation that modulates with a base 10 or possibly a base = to some arithmetic form of n as to have a different modulus every time and thus never repeat. Though, every time I've ever thought of some cool mathematical thing, it terms out some dead scientist thought of it 100 years ago or more, so I'm just wondering if this has already been done.

Are you completely sure you know what factorials are? I guess I could be looking at it the wrong way though.

The destruction of Earth is a misinterpretation of the Mayan Calender. The Mayan calender doesn't even just point to destruction, it points to the turning of a new world in the same context as the coming of the next day. The Mayans had said they went through 8 of these world changes, but the world wasn't destroyed 8 times since they've been around. The Mayan calender just states there will be something different about the world, and so far it hasn't been some kind of world-ending prophecy. Perhaps the calender even ends because they thought they would go to some kind of heaven.

Oxymoron Also, there's a double-entendre with "oxymoron".

If I have two particles and I separate them by many light years, one on Earth and one near a black hole, since their states would be instantly determined by any measurement via their inherent mathematics, wouldn't I instantaneously break the entanglement even in far different time dilations to any frame of reference (granted that I am not considered the actual light that would need to travel to a measuring device)?

So you can't escape a black hole using energy, so why not just teleport out? If a particle's probability extend's infinitely, then theoretically a particle could cross the event horizon while it's probability still occupies spacial coordinates outside of the event horizon and teleport outside the event horizon before getting sucked in again.

Robots don't apparently fit under the definition of life because they don't evolve on their own, they don't grow, they don't necessarily respond to stimuli, but I think after a certain point a robotic group could be advanced and complex enough to meet these criteria.

If you think everyone has an equal opportunity, you really haven't seen much of the world and you need more time away form the computer. That information wasn't even from me, it was from a seminar I want to where a minister of justice who now works in restorative justice who was a former attorney spoke about these issues involving statistics with races and the fact that black people are more likely to be convicted and sent to prison than a white person, and that was part of his explanation, and I don't see how its illogical. The places people are born in definitely matter to this. Many of the black people are probably mad that there are so many more black people in prison and the fact that they are more likely to get convicted (not prosecuted, convicted, there's a difference). There's also that recent Martin shooting, and things like that were happening to minorities way before that. It's also sort of a cycle. When slavery was abolished in the US, black people still didn't have the right to vote, and many people wouldn't hire them over a white person, and if they did, it was for low pay, and this was all pretty recent that black people gained many rights. Actually, the statistical reason that white people get raped in prison more could be because there are so fewer white people in prison that they stand out more.

I suppose those are logical answers, but people can still change their height even after they become and adult, like perhaps because of surgery, hair length, or maybe the shoes she wore that day, and even shrinking as you get older. I would say though that there is a more probably answer than that the tree has been growing at the same height as her. In fact, the tree's height changing doesn't have much to do with the position of the nail.

One day a little girl put a nail in a stem of the tree to mark her height. She has aged 10 years and comes back, but sees that the height hasn't changed. Why is this so?

No what I'm saying is that it doesn't take time for a gravitational field to exist where it is already existing in GR, but in QM, you need to constantly have virtual particles traveling distance over time to interact with atoms which is why it makes more since for gravity to be emitted from the surface of a black hole since time is stopped at the event horizon itself. In GR, if you stopped time, an already existing gravitational field would continue to exist, but in QM, but you stopped time, virtual particles couldn't travel distance over time and thus gravitational fields would stop effect you if you could remain completely still, unless I'm missing some weird time symmetry thing.

So I suppose its often distance from the center of the nucleus, and not its surface. I guess a better answer then isn't purely just because an electron's probability never reaches 0, but because the oscillation patterns of the electron and the proton different enough that even when an electron is in the nucleus their physical probabilities don't overlap.

There isn't much to suggest it's necessarily to sway it to being a dream though. I did give enough information, you just have to think about the parameters. I'm actually very surprised no one has gotten it yet, especially since someone suggested mud was all over his body.

Alright, I redid the math from scratch and it seems to match yours, so I'll agree with you for now and retract the statement and that converting all of an asteroid's kinetic energy to thermal energy via friction with Earth's atmosphere isn't the best option. I'm still going to get it looked over by an actual physicist though just to make sure. That said, half and half probably wouldn't be much better either, which leaves us with 3 other options: Blow it up completely Deflect it, Break it into pieces not small enough to transfer that much thermal energy but not large enough to actually cause damage, for which the only result would really be a vector map, the energy is still conserved, but all it would do in that form is simply push Earth or change its orbit a little bit or something and probably destroy some homes and knock down some trees. I suppose I could calculate the average volume and mass of each piece and see how much energy they carry depending on how many pieces its broken into, but then I'd also have ton consider the critical size for when it gets too small so that all of its energy would be converted to thermal energy, leading us back to the first problem. I looked into canceling out its energy, the highest energy nuclear device ever detonated, castle/bravo, only released 63,000 TJ, it it took something like over 700000 of them to equal the kinetic energy of the of meteor assuming the meteor calculations are correct. Maybe you can help with the "deflecting" thing since that's your theory. Maybe if it's speed is super fast, but it would have to be way way faster than the meteor to deliver enough energy to move 2.5*10^16kg of matter out of the way and there would need to be some way to push it at the right angle. If anyone else has any theories free to jump in too, this is just a speculation topic.

I think that's a little bit too complex... Like I said before, the machine doesn't care what species something is, like if it's human, it will collect it if it fits the parameters and there isn't 3 of it. But, the machine is running after the human and chasing him down, so the machine probably doesn't have 3 humans already. And a human covered in mud looks pretty different not only from a human, but from an ape as well. And I still never said that the guy fell into a puddle. The aliens didn't need to program it with all of the specific species that were already on Earth, all they programmed it to do is find animals that fit the parameters and get three of them, I don't get why peopel keep thinking this machine discriminates against newer species.

The reason black people have a worse rap isn't because people themselves are racist, it's because of how the prison is set up. Let's look at a situation: There are two young men charged with a crime, one is white, one is black, no one on the jury is racist, the judge isn't racist, and they will both get sent to prison for the same amount of time. They both get convicted and put on probation, and with probation there's some rules like you have to spend a lot of time at your house and you can't hang out with the people that got you in trouble, and you have to be in school. So, the white person simply goes back to school and lives at his parents house, graduates and moves on with his life. But, the black person is a high-school drop-out and doesn't have enough money to go to a college and maybe their parents kicked hi out because they wanted him to get a job, so he get's sent to jail or prison for not being in school. It's not racism, it's that the system itself doesn't consider the human circumstances people have, and it's not to say that there aren't poor white people, but there are more poor black people in the US than white. When you get accused of something, the justice system treats your entire life as that crime and removes the humanity from you.
