Please no jokes and don't treat this lightly. It is a very deep concern for me and if I have to go elsewhere to find answers, I will. Bettina

Would you please explain your feelings when you encounter someone that triggers it. Can you feel them? I want to know as much as I can from other people like you. For example, do you ever get sick? When are the worst times, etc. Bettina

I haven't been able to find any forums that deal with this without trying to tie it in with reading minds. Let me know please. This is a big problem for me and I need a place to go that have others like me. EDIT...If someone knows of another place, could you please post the link? Thanks Bettina

Thank you Martin for the PDF's. I will be reading those in bed tonight. Martin....I don't mind being corrected like Cadmus did. So, no fighting please. Your all ok with me.... Bettina

Well, if your serious, then look here. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/generalscience/5mysteries_universes_020205-1.html

If you mean do multiple universes exist, we don't know. We could be just one "soap bubble" floating in nothing, or one of many joined together at some event horizon. I don't think anyone here is going to be able to help you in this except offer there own opinions, or places to go for other opinions. Remotely gaining any knowledge of this is impossible. Good luck? P.S. I have a lot of fiction books dealing in this Bettina

I can't get any of them But I love it! Bettina

There are good people here....just give it a little time.... Bettina

Not quite.....it really says this For the theory that fits our data, the Universe will expand forever. (The nature of the dark energy is still a mystery. If it changes with time, or if other unknown and unexpected things happen in the universe, this conclusion could change.) __________________ Jonathan aka 5614 --- The funny thing about common sense is that it's not very common

"New space" ? I don't think thats right. I thought it was the same space that is just expanding like a balloon. I read somewhere that it was the dark energy that was thought to be causing this expansion and no new space is being created. Bettina

Geez....Please tell your doctor about this anyway. I read about kids our age dying on the field because of something that was missed. It wouldn't hurt to be sure. Bettina

Kool..... Geez..... for someone private, you sure talk a lot. I loved your post. I understand what you mean now about privacy for your daughter and I respect that. btw... I NEVER go with anyone other than the 4 friends I've always gone with. We may split up at the mall in two's, but we watch out for each other. We go home together. Thats our rule. Our parents all think the same, and we stay as a group. I never gave out my email on any forum, just to my school friends, my dads friend, and his work. I'm not allowed in chat rooms or instant messaging. I really wouldn't use them if I could anyway. I really live in a nice neighborhood, and have great friends. Thank You, and I'm still sick about Jessica. It's not a happy time for me. Bettina

I agree. When we make statements like I did, it is based on the current thoughts. Consider a scale which tips both ways. If the evidence is strong to tip the scale much farther to one side, then that model is considered the accepted one. It doesn't mean its set in concrete. Right now, the model is for a non collapsing universe and thats what I believe now unless the scale changes. In fact, I found some old cosmology books that had the scale tipped the other way, but they were old. Bettina

Why is space expanding so hard to understand? All scientists agree that it is. And, isn't this expansion caused by the dark matter/energy that cosmologists still don't quite understand? Bettina

Yes, but it was just a closing statement. Your main comment was in italics that I answered. What guy are we talking about. I made it clear what should be done about both types. I want the man who killed Jessica to die by the hands of her father and mother. I think I made that clear all along. I don't know. He hasn't done anything that the police could talk to him about. What do you think should be done. I will just consider him a predator type and stay away from him. Bettina

I don't know what you mean about setting a trap for me and that statement you made above doesn't make sense. If you would like to discuss this you can do it without setting "traps". The predator that killed Jessica was a sexual predator of the worst kind. He kidnapped her from her own bedroom and sexually tortured her for two days before killing her. She was only Nine. He was her boogeyman and I know exactly what she was feeling and thinking those two days. How much she cried. How many times she begged him to stop hurting her. How many times she called out for her father. How she tried to fight him in the end. I think about her all the time especially while lying in my bed and I will feel it for weeks. I want to see him die. I want him dead and I'm proud of the way I think about him. I can't treat his punishment as lightly as you can. The man in the store I mentioned is also a predator. What kind I don't know. Should he die? Of course not. Maybe he gets his kicks this way and wouldn't go any farther. Maybe he was the type Coquina met that didn't rape her or worse.... kill her. Coquina is lucky he wasn't the monster type. I want to know if you think I should have trusted the man in the store? Let me know your opinion. And no....I'm not mad at you at all. Bettina
