  4. So, on the idea of an observer.   There is NOT an observer that can experience two  events, happening at the same time AT the same time, if the two events are separated by a distance.  Light travel time prevents such an experience.  Most models include a super observer that sees the two distant events at once. 

    I disagree with this notion as it is not realistic.

  6. My wife, Nancy, passed away the morning of the 16th in her sleep. I am lost, I don't know what to do, I keep thinking I'll ask Nancy what to do then it hits me again.

  7. Its not a discussion if you dont listen. Its more like oppression is what I get from this site. Just like when people pretend that air is not matter and only see it as air.

      If you have science to post, post it in the forums. (unless it's on a subject where you're run out of chances to post something of merit) 

      Your problem in the past is that you don't post science, you post hand-wavy nonsense. No rigor, no evidence.

      Yes, you are in the moderation queue, and were informed when it happened 

  10. On my recent thread on conspiracies, it was posted in the politics section, and it was about politics. As I said in the intro, SOME conspiracies are true, eg, Bay of Pigs, Watergate, plots to kill Castro, etc. All accepted history, fully documented and undisputed. A full list would be huge. 

    So why is this SUBJECT treated as rubbish, when some of it is verified history? Some are rubbish, some are not. 

    Today we have a journalist murdered in the Saudi Embassy being discussed on the news. Is it rubbish because it implies a conspiracy?

      Closed in the forum means closed everywhere. Status updates are not a way around thread closures, or forum rules. And I was referring to the reason the thread was closed. It's not appropriate for status update.

      1. You should have asked for evidence, rather that reasons why you think one is true.

      2. This is a topic that should be discussed in the forums, not in status update.

  13. Moderator, can you explain this?? :

     

    When shoot an object from north (for example from Austria) to the south to a target in the south. Earth will rotate to the left when we look northwards. So aim left, because wile the object is underway earth will keep rotating to the left.

     

    When we shoot from north where ever we on earth are, to the south to a target. Earth will keep rotating to the rigth, when we look southwards, so aim to the rigth.

     

    it has to be :

     

    When shoot an object from north (for example from Austria) to the south to a target in the south. Earth will rotate to the left when we look SOUTHWARDS. So aim left, because wile the object is underway earth will keep rotating to the left (when we look SOUTHWARDS from the NORTH).

     

    When we shoot from north where ever we on earth are, to the south to a target. Earth will keep rotating to the LEFT, when we look southwards, so aim to the LEFT.

      I don't care if it's a joke. It's over the line and a violation of rule 2.1.

  17. So B.P Abbot et al of the Ligo Collaboration detected a signal 'sweeping' from 35Hz to 250Hz. More likely 36Hz to 216Hz, maybe the next interferometer built shall be able to pick up all the low frequencies from 3Hz to 729Hz.

      Software bug allows updates from banned users to appear. It's been reported. I'm deleting them manually, so it only happens intermittently.
