Speculations

In my opinion the deep meaning of logic, is the method that can help us to survive and flourish day by day in non-trivial ways. We as individuals and a part of a civilization can survive and flourish if and only if we develop our internal/external constructive dialog between us and our environment, in non-trivial ways. In short, logic is THE ART OF THE DIALOG that keeps and develops non-trivial complexity which is based on simplicity. Through this point of view, there is no room to scholastic methods that do their best in order to keep their abstract purity by doing their best to disconnect themselves from the non-linear and non-trivial complexity of daily lif…

I asked my friend if he believed that psychic abilities exist. His reply was, "It'd be cool if it did. I wish it exists. But I don't know. I can't say for sure." Then I suggested to him that we practice on our psychic abilities. I pulled out a deck of 40 cards (I took out the kings, queens, and jacks), shuffled it, and layed it on the ground. We took turns guessing exactly what it was, like 7 of hearts. For me, what I did was ask myself what color it was, then what suit, then what number. I don't remember the results of the first time we tried, but it wasn't too shocking. Sure, we had a couple exact hits, but that could be luck. Then my friend suggested that the…

Okay if time travel to the future is possible free will would not exist. Here is why. Imangine that one of your friends went forward in time one day and there he sees you eating ceral at 10:30 then travels back in time to the time he started from. There he tells you that you will eat ceral at 10:30 tommorrow. Now at 10:29 you have a choice to make eat ceral or not to eat ceral and according to free will you could choose either but since it is already known that you will eat ceral at 10:30 you have to eat it therefore violating your free will. I want to know what people think about this. crap i just noticed i posted this in the wrong forum can a moderate move this oh we…

Which do you think is the smarter sex? Everyone better vote, I went through 2 rough drafts to get to this one! PS: YT, hope I didn't give you a migraine.

There are many problems with the scientific viewpoint about how life on this planet started. Spontaneous Generation: The idea that non-life can become life. This theory was disproven by Redi and later more completely disproven by Louis Pasteur in 1864. I don't see how lifeless matter, without even proteins!, could become life. The first form of life that is suggested is the "microsphere". Even if it did exist and come alive, how would it evolve into anything else? If a change meeting of dead matter became life it would be so simple that it wouldn't have any kind of DNA or RNA or anything else needed for evolution to take place. And it would be so impossible that even i…

another of my recent LiveJournal entries, which i will just quote because it's easier and more structured than if i wrote it out again. this is also indirectly related to my fear thread that i just started here so any thoughts or criticism on chaos theory? i admit that i do not understand quantum theory currently, nor relativity, and that those theories could potentially change my theory/conjecture, but i am doubtful of that.

At the center of any elementary particle, there can be no physical laws. How can any particle remain the same and know it ? how can any particle possibly exist ? This concludes that at their core, elementary particles have NO LOGIC, NO MATH, NO PHYSICAL LAWS. TOBOR APE

What do you guys think about ghosts and "orbs". Scientifically explainable phenomenon? Or genuine spiritual activity..

http://space.com/businesstechnology/flying_triangle_040902.html Very interesting article. Worth a look. Most likely the US military at least in my opinion.

Isn't the equation of time [math]t=\frac{energyXspace}{oscillion}[/math] Oscillion being the frequency of wave rotation relative to other energetic forms. This is correct, right? Gravity is [math]G=\frac{energetic matter}{space}[/math], correct? Is there any equation for magnetism?

I’m sure everyone has seen the signs for “$5 Psychic Readings” in their town or while traveling elsewhere. What I wanted to discuss here were your thoughts on using psychics for more than just personal entertainment, more specifically in police and detective work. There’s been documented cases in the past where police haven’t been able to solve a crime, at which point they turn to a psychic for help. What I find the most interesting is when the psychics they hire actually solve the case. What are your thoughts on this? What about using psychics to help solve some of the current investigations (such as the Peterson or Hacking trials?) I’m not an expert myself o…

What event officially concluded in the year 1969? It began in 1947- Does no one wonder what sparked the government's interest? If it was merely Lockheed U-2A's and Lockheed SR-71's, the occasional aerial flare or weather balloon, would the unparalled expertise of the U.S. Air Force be mandatory? And what of the 5.6% unexplained sightings? What of them?

Emotional Energy: Let me introduce a new type of energy, I have discovered, which I call “Emotional Energy”. Emotional energy is a form of energy concentrated in the unconscious mind of man which gets activated by the feelings of spontaneous disgust, disappointment, desire, wish, sadness ,love or longing but with the condition that if any of these human feelings reaches a certain threshold value of purity. So it is the quality of these feelings which is important than the quantity, volume and frequency. The concepts of miracle, prayer (both positive and negative), “nazar” (I don’t know the English synonym), higher poetry, inspiration, true dreams, creativity…

Google some information on it. Basically some rabbis plugged the bible (in original hebrew) into some computer matrices of some type and found lots words related to important huge events (no examples needed, I think they found most history-book highlights). They claim that the events are found in areas to tight to be excused as simple statistical probability. So the only question is, are there any statisticians here who can find out what systems they used to find all this crap, and if it is in fact too highly improbable to be excused as a false alarm, or if the people studying the code are stretching the truth and making their own assumptions without making sure it is…

http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/WEBONLY/resource/sep04/0904nfus.html general question about pseudosci sometimes getting support for political reasons----notorious case of Lysenko "genetics" under Stalin what about the "Starwars" research under Reagan? the idea of building Xray lasers as weapons, and battle-satellites to zap enemy missiles can some kinds of research be supported because they give hope to some segment of the voting public, or get a big play in the press, and not for some more solid scientific reason? what do you think about the US science funding people bringing Cold Fusion research back to life. is there a good reason to do it? or is this…

I read somewhere That Jupiter was a Failed star is this the case

Please state whether you feel that Humans were created (or engineered) by an outside force (such as aliens) Or if evolution has made us as we are. Same with the development of science/technology...was it developed by an outside force, or did we engineer it ourselves? Please specify which and give an explanation and/or reference. Thanks

In the Book "The Mars Mystery" by Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval & John Grigsby, the authors present a theory along the following lines: Mars was once just like Earth; temperate lands and seas, with poles, an atmosphere, stronger gravitational and magnetic fields etc etc. There was a planet between Jupiter and Mars, which for an undetermined reason, was destroyed by a massive explosion. This exploded planet is now the asteroid belt, and killed off Mars. There is a lot of evidence to support their theory. 1) The asteroid belt is a vast ring of rock and debris in between Jupiter and Mars for which there is no logical reasons for it’s existence presented by NA…

I had another perpetual motion idea, and this time I made a 5 minute website about it. http://www.freewebs.com/frankthompson Could somebody please tell me why this won't work?

I saw this thing on the history channel, and several like it on discovery, about how almost every civilization before modern times claims that gods came from the sky and gave them information. These "scientists" were talking about the gods are aliens. I think that the people that made those programs watched the Stargate movie too many times. Which brings up the people also said the pyramids were made by aliens.

So many of us have wondered what is the truth of creation? Both Religion and Science have satisfying explanation for it , however both sides conflict eachother and No one really tries to put those 2 together and come up with solution. I have studied ancient sumerians - the first human civilization here on earth and they seemed to have just the right logical explanation. Sumerian knowledge was somewhat denied and avoided by media for some reason, I have rearly saw anything from media that talked about them. The sumerian tablets which were CARBON DATED to prove the age contain very controversial knowledge which seems to be LOGICAL. They explain the creation of huma…

The Egyptian pyramids were machines designed to produce clean non toxic, disease free water. The technology to achieve this feat, was remarkable to say the least. Water, the precious substance on this planet, could only ensure survival if it was sacred, that is not drawn from ground waters, and that included the Nile ! >

This is really wierd and would probably end up here anyway, so i went ahead and made it here. This is kinda an offshoot of a thread about photons being matter or energy. Matter and energy are the same thing. We all know that. Someone made an interesting post on the thread. He said there may be other forms of Matter/Energy. The photon is a blur between matter and energy, and energy and matter are different forms of the same thing. Gravitons are a blur between matter, space, and time. Does that mean space and time are forms of energy/matter?

I don't know, but I think I've had an out of body experience. At least that's what it seemed like, and it's happened more than once. I can lie down and I sort of go into a paralysis or something. It's almost like I'm asleep, only I can see everything around me. And if I concentrate it seems as though I can leave my body. I see myself and everything around me, and I can go into the sky and things like that. I know this is going to be met with a lot of sceptiscism, but that's what it seemed like. Odds are there is a scientific explanation to all this, but it is fun to think that we can leave our bodies and fly about to wherever we like. Anybody have any thoughts …

What kind of slip in physics could allow someone to breath under water? Could this be possible for a second? Please be open minded because believe it or not this happened to a freind of mine.
