  1. No, I was viewing my mind viewing itself not just directly viewing my own consciousness, I don't know how else to put it into words, but if I can step back and see that from the point of view from my consciousness, then my consciousness can't be that, so consciousness is even more complex than I previously thought. I guess you could say its similar to viewing yourself looking in a mirror from a 3rd person perspective.
  2. I noticed that as I kept getting the higher and higher level of working out that my body didn't seem to need as much to recover, but this seems weird because doesn't larger muscle mass require even more calories to keep it alive? Also, I was wondering if there's some efficiency limit, or if there's some formula, and also about the correlation of this pattern compared to how larger animals use energy more efficiently.
  3. But that is long term because of that exponential capacity for heat that water vapor has. As more localized low-pressure systems form, more water is in the atmosphere to absorb heat, which in the long run will heat up the atmosphere more, and make it easier for abnormally large amounts of water to be deposited in rain.
  4. What are you even saying? The light from those distances gets stretched out some, and that's the only distortion I know of.
  5. You should read "Catcher in the Rye" by John Steinbeck, maybe that will answer your question.
  6. That actually seems to fit events pretty well. But, I think it has to be somewhat more complex than that, because just the other day I was able to objectively view the objective viewing of my own consciousness, and if I can take a step back from that objectivity to view it, my consciousness can't be that. It's just the same as "you can't be in the location you are looking at from across the room", so based on that, I think that consciousness is definitely a lot more complex than it is being made out to be, and with a tweak to the continuum thing, is sort of like time, almost as if it flows, but is always there and different for different perspectives. Sort of like, there's always a fabric of space, but how it acts varies according to different things. If I can step back from a part of a painting and see even more painting, then the painting must be bigger than the part I was previously looking at.
  7. But I thought that wikipedia article said they have characteristics of real particles, but they sort of "snap back" to their parent particle.
  8. Hmm, well don't virtual particles have the same wave characteristics as real particles? So couldn't they have interference with themselves or each other?
  9. Well, when Mt. St. Helena exploded in Alaska, the mainland of the US all the way to a little past the mid-west was effected. Thunderstorms in the region where I live start out their cycle close to the East coast which means less distance for the fallout to travel, and it was eve predicted that some fallout would reach the US. Maybe it's a little too far-fetched based on that one incident, but I'm guessing the ions from radioactive decay and charge things, especially since Americium batteries are already being developed.
  10. Good and evil are relative though, other animals have a perfect sense of it. If something's trying to kill them, them that thing is evil. If something's trying to help them, that thing is good. That exact principal is basically how humans have defined good and evil, by what is good and bad for humans. Although in the bible, I suppose it's what's good and bad for God's will, although in the bible, something that is bad for humans, like Satan, is still evil.
  11. Yeah. Why are there those concentrated regions of magnetism? And also, isn't that how sunspots occur, by the existence of these field lines warping and storing potential energy?
  12. Nope, most of the time cartoons are more violent. Playing a game of football? That's not nearly as violent even if it is competitive as actually seeing the image of someone's head chopped off or whatever, and further more its also time, or a constant exposure to violence that causes problems. Although, to be fair to nature, if you live in a more hostile environment, chances are that you need to be more violent to survive, but most of the time you don't need to be and yet cartoons are. Most other things aren't that persistent in violence.
  13. It's true, I bow down to the nothing I know about you. Although, I think he's sort of onto something, which is if the same mod keeps answering the same topic over and over again, they get tired of it and short with whoever they are discussing it with, which I've seen myself, so it's probably better if mods work in shifts on topics if that helps. Although its not really that their personal opinions get in the way of science ever.
  14. But a real bar magnet has those quantized lines, I've seen it.
  15. Well, it's already been proven that Earth's atmosphere in general changes over time, but I don't know about pressure. I was thinking more like localized air masses sucking up more water vapor. Heat moves air, and moving air has less pressure, so it can suck up water vapor from liquid water more easily.
  16. So I kind of get that particles have spin, but since electrons don't have classical spin as that would cause them to accelerate classically, how does the magnetic field actually move? And still, why are there those specific lines? I mean the direction makes some sense, but why quantized looking lines?
  17. That makes sense, and I think even Douglas Adams in one of his smart-alic tangents in his hitchhiker's series wrote "God: Proof denies faith and without faith, I am nothing. Other person: Ah, but the bable fish is proof of your existence, so QED, your not really here." Although, couldn't other intelligent animals have thought of a concept of some greater being? I mean if they've ran into humans who can either destroy their entire enviornment or help them greatly, there's probably room for interpretation.
  18. Pressure can also change water, so if there's large air-masses of low pressure, that will suck up water vapor more easily.
  19. Some lightning can be linked to cosmic rays, but I think it's just linked to super charged particles in general, because about a week or two after the nuclear powerplant incident in Japan where radioactive dust was released into the atmosphere, I saw super thunderstorms with a lot more power than I've seen in the past, literally two lightning strikes every single second, and now, the most recent thunderstorm barely had any, which sort of matches up with how the fallout settled and spread out more.
  20. That's not how it works though: If you experience more violence, then even if you consciously don't want to be, your subconscious will be. Life lessons should be taught from life, not cartoons.
  21. So does the reason a magnetic field from a bar magnetic look the way it does with having those specific lines because of the wave-characteristics of virtual particles? Like virtual particles sort of appear less in the spaces between those lines?
  22. The universe has no observable boundary, therefore it is possible anything we see is purely local in an infinite space, even the laws of physics might only be local to this section of the universe.
  23. Argument brings up points which can be discussed, its a way to iron out things.
  24. If time doesn't exist, how do events happen? There's tons and tons of evidence for relativity to the point where its taught in high schools and colleges. Swan is right. Unless there's a better theory, time and relativity is the best one.
  25. But saying time doesn't exist is like saying black holes don't exist. Maybe we can't see black holes directly, but what we can see is when a star gets ripped apart around a point of nothingness, so the only thing we can really infer is that black holes must exist. It's the same with time. Relativity works so well to describe things that time has like a 99% chance of existing. Also, with the clock on the satellite, the reason that happens is again because of time. It's because gravity distorts the fabric of space-time, and because the satellite is experiencing less distortion of the fabric of space since its further from Earth where gravity is weaker, the clock runs faster. I guess you can think of it as that it takes less effort for the same events to happen in less gravity than in higher gravity, therefore the same amount of effort will cause more events.
