Speculations

Hi everyone! I'm a rather agnostic person myself and although I wouldn't completely rule out the existence of something beyond our universe, I'm usually quite skeptical about miracle claims. But then there are some stories out there that really are quite astounding. What do you think about this issue? What do you make of miracles? For instance take this story: http://www.cbn.com/700club/features/amazing/healing_marlene_klepees110501.asp The woman in that article, Marlene Klepees, had been handicapped since her childhood. She suffered from cerebral palsy, a disease for which there exists no cure so far. Throughout the years her condition worsened until she …

If you ever read this message,go straight to the bold text beneath. "Chance rewards its patient labours" as they say is true ! I chanced a fact during research in June 2000 that has enabled me to discover the complete brain power (Mental Quantum) of the human species or race(s). And the Mental Quantum (MQ) discovery has also led me to invent an excellent mode of revealing any event of interest as whether it is of the past,present or future with a tremendous accuracy;by using binary(base 2) codes which is purely mathematical. In summary this format is far accurate to be compared with any astrological,spiritual or computer-simulation predictions.But the only and…

Not sure where to place this, sorry...... Anyone seen this?

Let's start with a quote from the Wikipedia article! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biocosm So that's the idea... life plays some critical role in the structure of reality. I would like to think that life evolves into God and God re-creates the universe, but that's just me. Pretty wacky eh?

Everyone knows God is supposed to be "good" right? I was wondering, does is specifically state in the Bible (on, indeed anywhere) that the definition of "goodness" is morally benevolent, nice and kind, etc. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say God is "Good" in the sense that God is expertly competent? God said "Let there be Light" and there was light and God saw it and saw that is was sufficient, indeed more than adequate for his purposes... the light was good.

I am working on a site QEDQ and I'm looking for the most insane ideas in science, religion, and philosophy. What would be the top ten pseudosciences? So far I have TimeCube, Breatharians, and Phrenology

whats your imput? i have come to the conclusion that its scientifically impossible

This is one of those ideas you think of when you're drunk, and go 'that's it!' then wake up the next day and go...errr how the crap would that work, and why is it needed. Anyway, what I was thinking, if you have conservation of mass and energy, why not conservation of time, seeing as time has an intrinsic relationship with matter et.c Our arrow of time is perceived due to entropy...disorder, but what if there was a second arrow of time pulling back to create order. The asymmetry would be in the favour of our perception of time...but the second arrow creates a state so there isn't complete chaos. This is the kooky bit...consciousness is trying to attain order.…

I'm not sure whether this belong to this forum or the religion one, there's a bit of quantum physics here and there Prof Muhammad Mahdi from http://www.modernsciencefindsgod.com/ I am providing this information in hopes that some way can be found to use it in the battle against the atheistic, Darwinian concept of evolution which has destroyed so much of the original spiritual nature of human society, and help to bring the attention of the people of the world back to the increasingly obvious fact that God created this universe and everything in it. I was many years ago a university professor with a background in theoretical physics, but am now quite old and dying o…

No, not little green men. (Although....) UFO sightings fall into three basic categories. 1. Eyewitness, sometimes with grainy, out of focus pictures that prove absolutely nothing and add nothing to the debate. 2. Radar images. 3. Personal meetings with ETs. (Who seem genetically incapable of giving a straight answer to a simple question.) It was the Radar returns that interested me. Having spoken to many Radar operators both military and civillian over the years the only thing that can be concluded is that abnormal returns are not uncommon. These returns are of apparently solid objects travelling at enormous speeds. Some travel in straight lines, many do no…

Many of you may have heard of the relatively recent news about a British hacker, Gary McKinnon facing extradidation to a military tribunal in the US. For a few years he was able to snoop through computers at the department of defense, NASA, etc, etc, etc. He said he was searching for information about UFOs, secret technology as well as free energy technology! Even more shockingly he said he found what he was looking for, and I quote from a BBC interview he gave: "SK: Did you find what you were looking for? GM: Yes. SK: Tell us about it. GM: There was a group called the Disclosure Project. They published a book which had 400 expert witnesses ranging from c…

If we start with a hydrogen atom that is stationary, relative to our reference, the electron is nevertheless traveling with relativistic velocity. As such, the electron should be defining relativistic mass, distance and time due to its velocity, even though the atom, as whole, is stationary in our reference. So essentially the hydrogen atom is a combination of two distinct references. The electron is also hard to pin down in the space within the 1S orbital. This uncertainty of location is expressed by the Hiessenberg uncertainty principle. This principle is needed because there are two distinct reference affects, but we traditionally model the electron using only th…

This is something I have presented to the biologists, but they seem to be waiting for the chemists to OK it. So I went to the chemists, but they seem to be dragging their feet. Maybe they are waiting for the physicists. The premise is the hydrogen proton is the basis for life. It is even more findamental than DNA. From the perspective of the universe, the hydrogen proton or hydrogen is the main component of the universe. It is the most likely candidate for life. If we look at the water molecule, hydrogen is bonded to oxygen, with strong covalent bonds, among the strongest for a single bond. But in liquid water, the hydrogen proton is able to jump around from oxygen …

Is it possible to Know our own destiny.??? like when we have dreams or manic thoughts. If so it puts a new meaning to understanding where we are going????

Well its always worried me when the Earth might end due to global warming. I now think that the world is starting over. And the next 'World' you might say in 300 years will be blank and a ice age will happen. Its a weird thought I know but what if the world has done this before? and they were other people thinking this previously in the worlds history. Therefore why not plant a device deep under ground with a set timer for like 500 million years on the clock. Then errupt when the time has been matched. Its just weird how the whole earth could end and thats the whole exsistance of us gone. Maybe it's happened before. G-Wizz.

If man is in gods image. Whos image is the dinosaurs...????

I would like to present an interesting angle to ponder. The mathematics of special relativity does not make provisions for negative special relativity, since velocity squared is the same for both negative and positive velocity. However, consider this scenario. We are on a spaceship traveling a fraction of the speed of light to another galaxy. The special relativity affect is measureable but somewhat small. Because it is going to be a long trip that may take several generations, we decide to normalize our reference as the zero reference. The thinking is this is an easier way to collect data and when we return to the earth we can just translate it using the math. In es…

I ask this question because I met a kid from my school who is a street magician. He asked me to give him my dollar bill, he put his hands over it, and he made me put mine. Soon after there was my face on the bill and my signature. I still have the bill and I am tripped out. I just can't think of any way he could do that. He also took an empty beer can that was smashed. I watched the beer can straighten itself and fill with beer. This shit is crazy. I just want you scientists to explain this stuff to me.

As far as I can work out in my layman mind, If we could go forward in time to the point of 1 millisecond, there would be nothing, as time in effect, has not yet happened. There can be no future, because the now is the only time we can be in, if we could go back in time, we had already done it, as time cant be changed, you cant have 2 versions of the same piece of time.(There cant be 2 versions of 2nd oct 1960 @10.30 am), its just not possible. Does anybody agree????

First of all, just for the record, I am NOT a xenobiologist. Physcial Characteristics Chances are that a creature from a non-Earth like planet or from an ocean would have a psychology so vastly different from humans that the chances of common ground are so slim that I pretty much left my speculations to earth type planets. That being said.... Eggs and marsupals are pretty much precluded by the maturatin times required. In the case of eggs, tying the parents to some sort of nest also becomes non-viable and creates a distinct vulnerability. Cold blooded creatures are precluded by the temperature zone. Any planet where they could expand to a wide range would leave th…

The Australian government has highly advanced neurotechnology; it is currently being used by departments in the AFP. The technology enables them to have two way mental communications. They have had these capabilities for over a decade now and I have witnessed the misuse of the technology too many times. The technology is constantly being used to gather information by ears dropping on unsuspecting peoples thoughts, among other more serious acts. The purpose of this post is to generate discussion about how advanced technology is, along these lines, in the public arena.

Pure speculation as I walked home with my coffee, so don't think too much of it: Concept Device: A glass contianer is filled with a low density of a clear gas, two laser beams swivel on 2 axis much like the reader of a CD ROM. Laser one, is a simple coler/brightness beam. Laser two, is a higher powered ultraviolet beam (or infrared if you can get it to high enough energy, which may be a contraction with infrared by nature..I am not sure) Laser three, is another higher powered ultraviolet beam identical to laser two. Process: A 3D graphics system sends data for the 3D model to the base controller for the three lasers, which then target the poi…

Hey all, I have interest in this topic and I was hoping if the people at this forum could answer some questions. I have done some research online, but there is a lot of information so I may have missed the answers to my following questions: I guess the biggest question I have is what would be the most likely way we would intercept signals from another intelligent lifeform? Would it be with a radio telescope? would SETI be picking up on the broadcasts from alien television stations? how would this work? And if "Alien radio" is being broadcasted into space (like we are doing), how hard is it for SETI to pick up on it? How much of the sky and different frequ…

I just wanted to speculate a bit on the kind of dedication it takes to make 10,000 posts on an internet science forum. That kind of loyalty to the site and interest in the subject is pretty rare. And we're not talking about spammy kind of LOL=type posts. We're talking informative, knowledgeable, well-founded posts that have helped a great many people. I think that would be quite an accomplishment, don't you?

If we take 1 million monkeys and gave each of them a typewriter and they each type one word per minute, the chance of all of them combined typing one of Shakespeare's sonnet that consist of 300 words would take them 10 X 10^50 years <-that's 10 with 50 zeros behind it... "In a study published today in the journal Science, a team of researchers says the universe is between 11.2 billion and 20 billion years old." http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/age_universe_030103.html ..now the human DNA consist of 3 billion letters...how long do you think it took for it all to come about to form human life just by chance? Is 20 billion years really enough? http:/…
