Speculations

Me and my dad came up with this interesting statement. Light is time polar. in other words time has two poles, positive time and negative time..... remember how light pushes a little on objects? light also pulls, but it looks diffenently if you think backwards(literally) would anyone please tell me what could be improved on this?

I have been receiving lots of strange pictures that were taken at Gettysburg. Most of them look like the orb pictures I posted in another thread. However, somebody sent me a picture that looks like nothing I have ever seen before. He said that he was in the Gettysburg cemetery, and it was very dark. He also said that his camera lens was clean. Does anyone have any idea what this picture could be?

If you look at anything macroscopic there is alot of random details. Like the leaves on a road, or the cracks in a wall etc. Why don't atoms have any random details? They are perfectly round with "points" (electrons) that circulate them. OK, they are not "perfect" but governed by quantum mechanical equations etc. But they seem so "unnatural" as everything macroscopic has rnadom details and atoms are perfect mathematical equations. True that even air and oceans don't have any random details, but the details are in the random measurements of pressure and temperature. Maybe we can't perceive the atom's random details. Maybe something is wrong with our descriptions... If …

Hi! I noticed an interesting thread on how to debate with a creationist. So I thought it would be fair to make one on how to debate with an evolutionist. Fair's fair, right? Here are some simple ways to debate with an evolutionist: 1) Some evo-supporters may get nervous about this topic, because they may think about some religion they don't want to join. Re-assuring the person that ID doesn't talk about any specific religion may help. 2) You may want to start by debating logically with the person. You may want to bring up the universes vast complexities, and that logically, it's an imposibility. Often, an evolutionist may say that logic is not fa…

PLANET-DISSOLVING DUST CLOUD IS HEADED TOWARD EARTH! http://tv.yahoo.com/news/wwn/20050912/112653720001.html "CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Scared-stiff astronomers have detected a mysterious mass they've dubbed a "chaos cloud" that dissolves everything in its path, including comets, asteroids, planets and entire stars -- and it's headed directly toward Earth! Discovered April 6 by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the swirling, 10 million-mile- wide cosmic dust cloud has been likened to an "acid nebula" and is hurtling toward us at close to the speed of light -- making its estimated time of arrival 9:15 a.m. EDT on June 1, 2014.

I guess this falls under the category of philosophy so I'm posting it here (sorry to the mods if this is inappropriate). I had a thought the other day: During our dreams, we can perceive ourselves in situations that are bizzare and fantastic yet think nothing of it. I once had a dream that there was a camel in my living room and I shrugged my shoulders about it as though that was normal. The brain must release some kind of chemical when we're sleeping that subdues the parts of our brains associated with shock and surprise so that they are inactive. If this is so, it means that our brains are capable of being in a state in which they can witness amazing and extraor…

The only thing that will be left to study in the future is philosophy. It is science that will end. Once all our practical scientific-technical problems have been solved, and we can manipulate all matter and ourselves infinitely, then only philosophy-metaphysics-art will be left, and that study will last forever. This study will lead to inventing any arbitrary science and art form as knowledge. Any sequence of signs and pictures can become an invented irrational mathematics-physics. Trying to understand metaphysical problems in philosophy always ends up questioning more fundamental assumptions as it proceeds. Why "understand" more or less ? Why use any form of logic …

I'm wanting some feedback on the book "Communion" by Whitley Strieber. I would really like to discuss this book and the strange realness to it. I don't know anybody else who has read it, and I am hoping this thread will find some who have. Opinions? Comments? Links?

I challenge any creationist(or anybody else for that matter) to attempt to find a single peice of logical and/or empirical evidence that suggests that creationism is true. I DO NOT WANT attacks on belief(this is not about belief but science), references to the bible(it can be made to agree with anything) or statements such as "i think evolution is a bunch of crap so creationism must be true"(if something is not A it does not necessarily mean that B is true). If this erupts into a flame war or personal attacks of any kind are made then i will ask for this thread to be closed by the moderators.

As we all know, life is based on cooperating events. At its very basic level living organisms consist of cooperating molecules, higher life forms consists of cooperating cells, ecosystems consist of a complex cooperating web of higher life forms, etc.. This leads to the Gaia theory where the planet Earth itself, and all its collective life can be considered a living organism. Life on Earth at all levels has become great a adapting to changing events on our planet, and actually plays a vital role in keeping the planet habitable. The mechanisms life uses to protect itself from threats and changing events is evolution (developing defense mechanisms and new tactics to ex…

why there is only 7 days in a week? and why the whole world, past and present, eastern and western hemisphere go by this? why not 8 days in a week? or 9 or 21?

Has the brain developed a random generator ?

Okay, well I am sure everyone here has heard of John Titor before. Well he stated that in 2003-2006 there were going to be massive man and nature disasters. Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Rita, War in Iraq, Volcanoes, Ect. They are all happening in the time period he gave us, could this help back up his accounts? What do you think?

First of all I hope I got this in the right place. I put together a bunch of information that seems to connect together in a way. Alot of seems like kook hoax mumbo jumbo... and I apologize in advance, but that is just the first impression that it will give you, but if you are interested in ufo, intelligent design type of stuff, this is for you to read. ENJOY! http://board.1111angels.com/viewtopic.php?t=3142

I hope I am placing this in the right forum... I always try to imagine worlds where life springs up, and try to imagine how it would have evolved. I wanted to hear what others came up with as well. I am not sure if this has been published anywhere, but im gonna go ahead and put forward this idea I came up with to start it off.. Imagine a world where the micro-organisms used only symbiotic competition to evolve , instead of the earthly mix of symbiosis, parasitic, and outright murderous forms of competition (I call this the "cain and abel" gene). These life forms all work together. You may use your imagination to invision what they would look like, but I pr…

I dont know much about relativity compared to einstien or people of that level but I get my way around. I dont know if I have ever read anywhere about this concept so it may be an intirely new theoretical idea. I was reading something interesting that another member posted and it sparked my imagination.. Please prove me wrong cause it scares me. "In the other experiment, a pulse of light that enters a transparent chamber filled with caesium gas reaches speeds 300 times the normal speed of light. According to the researchers, the main part of the light pulse leaves the far side of the chamber even before it enters at the near side! " I thought about it fo…

I have been reading around that there is still not a for sure explanation of the shape or kind of dimension the universe exists within. If I you back to the beginning where they claim all material was contained in one large ball so to speak. I would assume the mass would be beyond comprehension, also the size would be alot smaller than expected. The rotation of the of the object would be sickening fast, where the g-forces would be very close to the actual gravity holding the object together. When and if this bang occured it would of origanated from an intensly spinning object probably not even round but more of a oblong disc. When the material explodes and begins t…

I remember reading somewhere (in a few introductory university course text books, I believe) that science is founded on 5 principles, or "pillars", as I'm calling them. I can't remember what they are though. Here's my guess: 1) empiricism 2) determinism 3) repeatability 4) testability 5) parsimony Am I missing anything? What about reductionism? What about explainability?

http://www.weatherwars.info/ Oh dear. Take a look through his site.

Whats the best summery of all basic info that could be found at a liberary. Not for the study of any psuedoscience or metaphycical idea, but simple what book studies the entire subject the best?

I was under the impression that nothing can travel at speeds that are faster than light, but I recently read a small "blurb" in a textbook that made reference to Cerenkov radiation. It said charged particles in water travelled faster than light and gave off a blu glow. I also read that this was because the particles somehow outran their electric fields and travelled at faster than light speeds. I still don't understand how this is possible, as I thought the whole "rule" of nothing being able to travel faster than light was an absolute rule that could not be broken under any circumstance. Can someone explain this to me? (not just sending a wikipedia link , because I s…

Take 2 squares (sheets of paper) and slide them over each other at right angles. the intersection is a still point. But if you tilt 1 square (sheet of paper) and slide them over, the intersection is a moving point. If you tilt it to a very narrow angle the intersection will exceed the speed of light. Is this a known result ?

Ok, I'm confused. Am I the only one on the PLANET that sees that there is no clash between creationism and evolution? If one assumes the existance of an almighty God, who can by definition do anything He chooses, why cannot He use evolution as His mechanism for creation? The bible says nothing of His methods, just that He said "Let it be" and it was. Now does that say explicitly that there was a flash of light and there it was, or does it just leave out HOW He did it? And one last thing: the '7 days' thing has no bearing on this because how long is a day to a being that is eternal, that does not experience time, before there was a sun? PS: No, I don't necessarily agree w…

Is it true?

I think I have a strong telepathic connection with my little sister. Yesterday we became bored and so I organized a few games we could play to test this theory. Game 1: Four cards are laid face-down in a row. One person knows which cards are which. The other person must find a certain card. We played this game and I found the card three times in a row, beating the odds of one in sixty four. Game 2: Four cards are separated from the deck. One person chooses one card and concentrates on it. The other person must guess which card. Again we played and I guessed three times in a row, beating the odds of one in sixty-four. I did not think this was convincing enough,…
