Speculations

i think that a black hole is gravity at its highest level (of course) and it is simply inverted light. The super star has accumulated so much mass by producing light that it cause the light to slow down enough to convert it back into mass inverting on its self, not by running out of fuel. Which produces a hole in the space faberic at speeds faster than light. the mass is infintely expanded creating massive amount of pull. This is base on light being mass at the speed of light and mass attracts mass

If theoretically, the Usa had to fight the 1940 german army, with their current army, how would they go about doing it? Assuming they wouldent nuke berlin, how would they go about doing it? I guess they would soften up all areas with persision bombing and cruise missiles, and then go in at night with night vision. Any other Ideas of the way it would be done?

What is time? http://www.britannica.com/clockworks/article.html We sense the passage of time in our personal experience and observe it in the world around us. We feel, think, and act in the flow of time. Einstein said, "Space and time are modes by which we think, not conditions under which we live." Time--the time that we know through clocks and calendars--was invented. The measurement of time is an ancient science, though many of its discoveries are relatively recent. The Cro-Magnons recorded the phases of the Moon some 30,000 years ago--but the first minutes were counted accurately only 400 years ago, and the atomic clocks that allow us to track the approa…

The thread How to live forever got me thinking. If we developed the technology to live for ever, or just be able to reconstruct a human being from the ground up (maybe using nano tech), what would life be like? If you could "save" you curent body and have it later be reproduced if anything happened to the curent one, would the threat of death still exist? Would a duplicate (rahter than a clone, this would be an atomic resolution replicant of you) have their own rights, or would there be laws that make creating a duplicate of a living person illegal (though it would still occure - knowing humans)? What would this mean for space travel (we could save a copy of a…

This was in ERic Schlosser's book "Fast Food America." Does think make anyone not want to eat McDonald's ever again???

Hello So here’s the real truth about ‘the truth about aliens”. Some time back I read an article about disturbing trends in science among them, 1) excepting theories as laws 2) perception that facts now known are the only facts, and that there is no further need to explore questions current science tags as answered. 3) Over dependence on technology to do our thinking. 4) Polarization of ideas And others, wish I could remember were I had read it to list a site, but it was some time ago. But as I’ve browsed through posting on this site I’ve often felt many of these trends seem to be alive and well right here. How many times have you seen here where a…

First, I am going to work out some funky variables that should be similar to how Drake's equation works, but for a completely different topic. Then I'll fail to even attempt the math, but its just an interesting idea I have.... basically, it works like this: 1) Post singularity, it would be possible to create not only synthetic consciousness, but by default, entire simulated environments 2) As part of a technology advancing technique, running simulations of near-singularity cultures can develop unexplored branches and tangents If 1 and 2 are fair assertions, then if we could take Drake's equation as a start, modify it to determine both how many near…

Has anyone ever heard of this...it sounded like a joke when I first read it. Cosmic Latte

Can someone please help me out with this one...do people seriously do this... http://www.lifegem.com/secondary/whatisLG2006.aspx ...On second thought, maybe it's not a bad idea.

I was reading Revelation some other day and it dawned on me that it really doesn't give any indication who won. It doesn't even leave out the possibility of a negotiated settlement! Of course M.S. might say that there could be a 'stalemate' that leads to a war of 'attrition' and no matter how many of the 'forces of evil' were killed by the 'forces of good', the 'forces of evil' always had plenty of new recruit/replacements. To make a long story short the 'forces of good' finally figured out that by destroying the 'forces of evil' they were only offering up the victors as new recruit/replacements for the 'forces of evil'. So they decided to 'negotiate'? a…

Something occured to me while pondering the nature of wave-particle duality and it's effect on the "double-slit" experiment. Could the Universe have an intrinsic shape that is determined by the arrangement of physical matter inside it? Because the x2 slit experiment has been proven to work with single electrons, but only where there are 2 slits instead of one, could the very nature of there BEING a 2nd slit somehow alter the fabric of (I hate the word) "ether". Unfortunately my vocabulary is insufficient - but I'll try my best to explain my idea. Imagine the Universe having a "template" for wave shapes and interference patterns, so that waves will flow aro…

Okay, here’s a thought experiment… Imagine a machine that’s both universal constructor and destructor. An enormous portal that deconstructs anything that touches it, but in the process scans and builds a digital copy of. It simulates what it deconstructs/scans in realtime and the simulation can interact with the copy in the real world as if the two were joined pieces of the same physical object. For example, if you were to stick your hand into it, blood would flow from your arteries into the computer simulation, flow through the capelaries in your virtual hand, then the blood would be reconstructed and flow back into your real veins. Now, imagine that you stuck yo…

Unlike thermodynamicists who managed to camouflage inextricably their false fundamental principle (see the two references in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_thermal_and_statistical_physics ), Einstein was not so successful in camouflaging his. He did try indeed in Chapter 22 in his "Relativity" but still both the expression "The speed of light is constant, independent of..." and the value 300000 km/s remained popular. It is not difficult to see that the results of the theory of relativity fall into three categories: 1. Corollaries of the false principle of CONSTANCY of the speed of light (the c principle). Examples: symmetrical time dilation, symmetrical l…

My Mars Dillema or Imagination ? I am a dutch Student and new to these forums, and I have no degree of Astrology or Astronomy, but i'm no idiot and a lot has happend in my life. When I recently read something about Mars and that many people, also highly educated, think that the change of finding life on Mars, even today gets bigger with the months I started to get exited and wanted to know more about this beautiful "red" planet and the stories that surround it .. So me being the kind of guy that likes to know more and more about things, being kind of filosofical, I started to gather more information about Mars and I started to brainstorm a little. I was ve…

There has been lots of confusion as to why matter is dominant over anti-matter, but either I'm missing something - or the answer is pretty obvious... If one takes into account that anti-matter exhibits the same characteristics of matter that is going backwards in time, we can safely assume that this is because anti-matter IS matter than is going backwards through time (as proposed by someone who's name I forget) - because the Universe only has one time dimension, almost all matter is propelled forward through time, and therefore most matter is NOT going backwards through time, and is therefore NOT anti-matter. If there were two time dimensions then of course matte…

http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0055/0055_01.asp Yes folks, that's right, the strong force doesn't hold the atomic nucleus together, Jesus does. Anyone who says otherwise is advocating "a desperate theory to explain away truth"

" You can't de-evolve. Evolution cannot be planned. Merely influenced by selective pressures of the enviroment " Why can't u ? The Piramid was build a long time ago by people, if we look at it that way, smarter then us, Cause we can't even duplicate it. So go learn how to build it, and if you have, go build it, and then you have proven that you have evolutionized. But that hasn't happend has it ?? De-Evolution is here, We were all spirits, going tru time and dimension, knowing no evil and we are now "ugly" dumb humans. ( take this with a grain of salt ok ) Don't believe me, you will when it comes out that we are from Mars and humans already exists …

Why is it that ID proponents look at modern complexity of any of lifes attributes & say it could never have been arrived at by chance but had to have had a "designer " ( usually their God ) . They totally ignore the power of incremental gradualism over huge time periods in bringing about change . It was 3.5 billion years ago the prokayotes evolved ( after an large amount of time ) & then another billion or so before an eukaryotic cell became functional . All metazoa ; that is ALL , came much later . To me this says an eternity of time was there for experimentation with molecular combinations to sort themselves out & produce a functioning entity which could b…

I have a question. According to Einstein and his theory of Special Relativity, the laws of physics are the same in all references. What does this mean exactly. Does it mean that if we travel near the speed of light, life on our spaceship would go one as usual (with mass, distance and time relativity) such that if we conduct experiments they would yield the same results as someone on earth. Or does it mean that all the ions in our body, by going near C, will give off extreme magnetic fields so as to disrupt our bodies, such that the ions will behave by the laws of particle accelerator physics?

I was sitting on my balcony this morning, having a merry old chat with my flat mate. When all of a sudden, I had it. Can a vehicle be built out of organic materials (preferably still alive); given intelligence via genetic programming and/or molecular computers. Then given locomotion by the intelligence in said organic materials, (probably some kind of plant, built/grown to purpose). What is the most likely form of motion from an ordinarily stationary life form, i.e. a tree. Is it potential energy stored in curled limb/s around a central axis, to give forward motion to wheels within the structure of the vehicle. Or could energy be tapped from the plants own resour…

What if the evolution of man was planned? What if the very apes of our ancestry were merely conducting an experiment into evolution? Is it not possible that as conscious beings on the dawn of evolution, a portion of the ape race diverted from the tribe to breach more extreme habitats in search of a greater understanding. With not so much as a control variable we may have embarked on one of the strangest journeys possible, the journey to another species. Could returning to a "primitive" state be what scientists have sought since the discovery of the homo sapien/sapien. Are WE the missing link, merely on an elongated road to a higher intelligence and back? If we weren't…

I'm sure most UK residents will have seen the adverts for tissues that "kill 99 per cent of cold and flu viruses", what the hell are they basing this claim on?

In a very general sense men and women both lie for the needs of the other. Woman lie with physical illusions like makeup, hair, pushup bra, colors, etc., all of which are intended to create an illuison of enhanced beauty. Men like women to lie this way. Men would prefer natural beauty but the illusion works better than the reality of being natural average. Men, on the other hand, lie via verbal make-up, to create an illuison of enhanced personna. Women like men to lie this way. Women would prefer the weathy, ambitious, loving, etc., perfect man, but the illusion will work better than the reality of being average. Women often take advantage of male lying when t…

Okay, here it goes, the universe is like a giant video game, when you (as a representative of conscioussness in the struggle against that-which-is-not-consciousness-or-controlled-by-consciousness) get to the end and beat it it just starts over again. Essentially, the universe is made out of two things: evolution and chaos. Chaos represents a set of unsolved problems in the universe, and evolution represents the universal problem solver algorithm which appears out of nowhere yet is somehow intrinsic! Yikes, how do you rationalize that? I guess you just say it's a spontaneous emergence of self-replicating order given the natural chaotic movement of the chaos, which t…
