The military solves that issue nicely. 2359 is followed by 0000.

It is a rather odd convention. 12am is followed by 1am. Who came up with that?

No, she didn't.

When you derive the speed of an electromagnetic wave using the Maxwell Equations, there's no variable in it for the speed of the object or anything else. The only factors for the speed of light are the permativity and permeability of free space. So, if those changed, the speed of light would be different. However, it would still be the same for all observers. The only way to make C dependent upon a frame would be to somehow discover that the permeability or permativity of free space is frame dependent.

Did you try the Klingon word for Dilithium?

Done. I left it so that you could see. I suspect it's a new member whose name is a bit ironic.

Hello, and Welcome to Science Forums. Please read the rules to which you agreed upon registration and our STRONGLY encouraged Etiquette guidelines. If you don't like how the site is operated, you can try to be a bit more constructive. However, registering just to complain about us not stooping down to the levels of AiG is probably not going to give you much weight. I've been here for a VERY long time; if I complain(or anyone who doesn't appear to have joined just to grind an axe) it's considered. Then again, I'm a bit more rational in my complaints. You might also want to learn what evolution actually says before you go criticizing a straw man; It'll make you look less ridiculous. Luckily for you, I happen to have some useful links handy: What is evolution? Introduction to Evolutionary Biology And a long list of rebuttals to pretty much everything someone like you is bound to bring up.

Why on Earth did the OP get neg repped?

No. However, with the answer, you may be able to work backwards.

I asked the Oracle and she pointed me to that site. All I had to do was create an account and log in. Then it showed me the answer.

I went to see the Oracle. She told me it was at N 32° 06.360 W 081° 12.425

Yeah, it's fine to completely fabricate false stories.

How is that 'dubious'? How is debris with clearly visible airplane parts 'extremely dubious'? [citation needed]

I'm not so sure about that. Sure it was the excuse, but.......oil and desire to please daddy probably had more to do with it.

I didn't even know you could join through facebook.

"why" and "reason" both refer to the intent of a causal being. If there is no such being involved, then asking "why" or talking about the "reason" is nonsense.

Unscientific drive to explain the unexplained?

Why is a question of intent. If there is no intentional agent involved, then "why?" is indeed a silly question.

Mathematical theories are what we use to explain how. As for why, THAT is a silly question.

A half-blind monkey could find the towers without guidance from ground radar.

It should also be noted that other schools do this as well. The video lectures are also available free on both iTunesU and YouTube.

I'd like to be clear about this: I'm not talking about the fortune telling scam you see in newspapers. I'm talking about personality traits associated with astrological signs; maybe there may be something to it. What if the modern view of astrology is a bit off? I'm thinking that if we move away from astrology being about the effects of constellations on our lives and toward astrological charts being a complicated calendar, we might find a shred of truth behind all the mystic nonsense. If the astrological charts act merely as a complicated calendar, it could be that cyclic Earthly (vice celestial) events are at root. Is it not possible for temperature and the availability of certain foods to have an effect on fetal development? If so, then when you are born may well have an actual effect on who you are as a person. Ancient people may have noticed subtle personality differences between people born in certain times of the year. If these people were one of the MANY that were obsessed with the sky, then they could easy connect the wrong correlation as the causation. Then again, any such effect might be so small as to effectively not exist. If THAT is the case, then there is no hope for astrology.

You should check out this site. Not if you're not even to precal yet.

The forums are a bit slow. It'd be awfully nice if we had a way to communicate in realtime. Luckily, we have a solution for that problem. It's called IRC (Internet Relay Chat); it's a nerdier version of a chat room. You can access it through our site's java plugin via the Chat tab at the top of the page or this link. The program with which you chat is called a client. If you're familiar with IRC and have a real client (or want to use a different web client such as mibbit), you can manually enter the chat information. The server is blackcobalt.net and the channel (like a 'room') is #sfn. We also have a more relaxed channel that isn't really science related at all and it is #otw on the same server. Neither #sfn nor #otw are for instant homework help. In fact, most of the time the people in the channel are idle (they have their computers on and the client running, but they are either away or not actively using the chat). At the side of the chat window, you will see a list of names. Different clients have different ways of marking the differences in levels of power. However, all of the clients I know of do list them hierarchally with the people with no power on the bottom and the people with all the power on the top. The people on the top are the channel operators and are the equivalent of moderators on the forum, although the operators on the channel are not necessarily moderators in the forum. Below that, we have the people with what is called voice. That just means that they can talk if the channel is set to a moderated mode (which it almost never is). #otw uses another class of operator which is the halfop; they are like the channel operators, but their powers are more limited. IRC has a few features (none of which are to be abused): nickname To change your name on the chat, type '/nick <whatever you want your name to be>' without quotes and replacing <whatever you want your name to be> with whatever you want your name to be. register You can register your nickname for later use. This will also allow you to be placed on lists like the vop list so that whenever you identify (we'll get to that), the server will automatically give you the power associated with that list. To register your nickname, type '/ns register <password> <e-mail address>' without quotes, replacing <password> with your desired password, and <e-mail address> with a valid e-mail address. identify Once you have registered, you can identify yourself (which is basically logging in) and automatically receive any powers you are entitled. To identify yourself, type '/ns identify <password>' without quotes and replacing <password> with your password. action To do an action on chat, type '/me <whatever action you want to do>' without quotes and replacing <whatever action you want to do> with whatever action you want to do. The actions are just a fun little thing that doesn't really do anything but change the way text is formatted. There isn't a list of actions; you can type whatever you want. example: Instead of having <ydoaPs> is rolling on the floor laughing. I could use the action feature to make it render as *ydoaPs is rolling on the floor laughing. Those are most of the features you'll need to use. Have fun and remember nonscience stuff goes in #otw. As fair warning, there is sometimes [acr=Not Safe For Work]NSFW[/acr] material posted in #otw. If you happen to see anything particularly memorable in chat, we have an IRC quote thread.

That seems to be his justification.
