  2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinational_state#Russian_Federation "Russian Federation Russia has more than 160 ethnic groups and indigenous peoples. The largest population are the ethnic Russians, who are Slavs with Eastern Orthodox religious traditions, while the Tatars and Bashkirs are predominantly Muslim. Russia is also home to Buddhist populations, such as the nomadic Buryats and Kalmyks; the Shamanistic peoples of Siberia and the Far North; the Finno-Ugric peoples of the Russian Northwest and the Volga region; the Korean inhabitants of Sakhalin; and the peoples of the North Caucasus.[16] Out of a total of more than 100 languages spoken in Russia, 27 have the status of official languages, the most widely spoken being Russian. More than 3 percent of the population speaks Tatar.[17]" OP said "someone born in Russia".. Only people who born after 26 December 1991, really born in Russia, the all others (=the majority of population) born in USSR.

  3. Do you feel there is something coming in the immidiate future? I asked because calling out "both sides" at a time when there is only one side seems like an empty platitude.

  4. Observation supports Ten 0z's stance but not yours. Your generalization has no basis, but yet 87% of US Republicans approve of the job Trump is doing, which includes the stuff that makes him a horrible, divisive commander (he isn't a leader of any kind). You yourself call him out while agreeing with anything you think sounds fiscally conservative.

  5. We all should, bigots have many faces. Which is why I included the word 'approaches'.

  6. I was born in Germany, but I think and dream mostly in English, having spent all of my adult life in other countries. It is only for specific purposes that I slip back into German - reason being that German has a much larger vocabulary, so sometimes it is easier to express subtle nuances in a language that has separate words for them. On very rare occasions I would also use other languages such as Chinese or Pāli, on account of them having words for concepts that do not exist in the European languages.

  7. That''s when it will be just about be equivalent to a human mind. I think having an internal dialogue is a defining step...It should be able create a sense of self and be objective from there .

  8. I don't really label myself, Ten oz; I have voted liberal, conservative and even socialist ( yes, we have more than two parties in Canada ), depending on the issues of the day. But I suppose most people on this forum would consider me a fiscal conservative because of my stance on excessive borrowing and runaway debit. You seem to think that invites a comparison to American Republicans and even D Trump ( in your previous post ). Maybe I should make a few comparisons of my own... Your American President has recently called our Prime Minister 'dishonest and weak'. Your former President R Nixon called P Trudeau ( father and former PM ) an 'asshole" Should I assumes that says something about the character and integrity of all Americans ? ( you are American are you not ? )

  9. OK, When you form a molecule of chlorophyll from atoms of Mg, H, C, and N, the "electron shells" of the individual atoms link up to form molecular orbitals. These have energy levels in much the same way as those of atoms but generally with more complex patterns of absorption and emission. In particular those of chlorophyll absorb red light and blue light. Fig 1 here http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/local/projects/steer/chloro.htm shows a graph of the percentage of light absorbed vs wavelength. (the details of the spectrum depend on the solvent, concentration, and so on, but the idea is the same. To a rough approximation you can say that a leaf is made of cellulose, water and chlorophyll. Water is colourless- it doesn't (significantly) absorb visible light over a distance as small as the thickness of a leaf. Cellulose- the stuff cotton and paper are made of also don't absorb much visible light, but the light is bounced off the surface to some extent. So, if you stripped the chlorophyll out of a leaf it would look a bit like wet paper. It's grey. If you hold it up to the light, some light gets through. On the other hand, some is reflected. Now imagine putting the chlorophyll back. Well, the green light in sunlight isn't absorbed by the chlorophyll so it's partly reflected and partly transmitted- just like before. But the red light and blue light are absorbed by the chlorophyll. So, only the green light is either reflected or transmitted. That's why leaves look green.

  10. I am going to try and answer these from a completely sceintific perspective, because I don't think they have been very well answered yet, no offence. 1. Science has conservation laws that prevent some things being created or destroyed. Mainly these are a consequency of symmetries in the laws of physics. For example, energy can't be created or destroyed, which is a consequnce of time translation symmetry of the laws of physics (the laws today are the same as yesterday). Particle number is not necessary conserved, though fermion number is. So electrons, for example can't be created unless a positron is also created, and they must "use" energy that is already there - they can't just create it. Photons however can just be created as long as there is enough energy. So the problem with the Big Bang creation is not really where does the stuff come from, but where does the energy come from. And indeed, was there a space-time background on which to build it? While we actually have no idea how the moment of the Big Bang happened (there is no data on this whatsoever) there is no reason to believe that it is not possible theoretically. Even if the moment of the Big Bang were the first moment in time, then one cannot apply a symmetry argument to time translations beyond this boundary and therefore (logically) can't insist on energy conservation. One cannot say "why" the Big Bang happened, but sceince does not attempt to ask why - it only asks how. 2. I don't think it is any easier of harder to be honest. (But see 3.) 3. God (that is, some being with power to change the laws of physics) is by definition transparent to science. Science relys on observations and only declares an obervation as valid if it is reproducible. If you do an experiment twice and get different answers, you need to figure out why by making more observations. And if you get a particular result only once and cannot reproduce it, you throw it away assuming it is faulty. Any act of God would be an irrepreducible event and not be interpretable with science. Science wouldn't even consider it. (This is in much the same way that an individual's actions are themselves not valid scientific events - it is only why you analyse behaviours of groups that you can then say something about individuals in a statistical sense.) 4. Presumably He doesn't have to abide by the laws of physics. To my mind, this is pretty central to the definition of God in the first place.

  11. So we went to the "Equality Parade" here today downtown Warsaw with our 2 year old. 30C mid day, a very nice combination of various political/LGBT movements forming a great party like function with trucks playing music, body painted attractive people dancing, etc. Our 2 year old decided that he's going to take charge of the whole thing. He especially wanted to go up dancing with all the girls in bikinis and boys with six packs in one of the trucks...his hysteria stopped one of the trucks and one of the dancer girls had to come down to calm him down which ofcourse didn't work out. So we had a fight me and and my girl and we left pissed all three of us walking with the stroller to the car. Family life is such a blessing.

  12. I just gave you an example in my previous post, Ten oz. Maybe you should read other people's posts before prejudicially assuming racism , hate and intolerance. Must be tough living in your world, where everyone is evil and you are the only one who's seen the light.

  14. I am polite, but too straight on communication and keep learning to talk with more human feeling. Referring to CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, Oxygen has intensity 1000 on both 508.182 and 525.795 wavelength, which is green, but I don't know on what III represented on reference. I cannot confirm on whether the intensity is strong or not, but GREEN wavelength is existed on chlorophyll based on your source. What about go back to the discussed issue? (learning to be more human :>) Thanks, to everyone very much for any suggestions (^v^) When above image refer to reflected light, could you please provide on what reference / theory is? and I try to understand more on your viewpoint. Thanks, to everyone very much for any suggestions (^v^)

  15. maybe you all can't but i can. I am not from your planet which you call earth. Here is how you do it , you can if you want control almost all things from this time on. Figure out your brain atleast the most possible , have advanced resources turn on across different planets. Put your copied into a computer brain into another physical object, Have the computer etc turn on at 1 year 100 years 100million years etc. and start up organic or robotic objects that you transfer the neurons into or brain of yourself or others. That is the basic most simple concept of controlling the future. Unless someone like me has already done it than you are kinda shit outta luck . because time is a funny thing. If you believe in a big band or in string theory ... You are not smart enough to think in real life terms. Like space wraps around and it doesn't go on endlessly ... that is string theory correct? hahaha so f'n dumb. I am trying to big crunch all things so there is no more pain and suffering , but i want there to be no more physical life ever again , infinite time/ space is very hard to wrap up. Almost there though. Infinite space , yeah but :: if you use senses and technology and the knowledge of everything existing at certain times and the present time it is looking possible. If you has vision . smells / taste . touch . hearing etc. sleeps comes back over time with technology etc etc. You can bundle it all together. my numbers show 663 trillion Intel. life forms out there. and yes i only count humans on earth not other brains of the other animals here. Anyways. Sorry for any insults or lining up some of your lifes. especially petra and Michael Schneiders in Winona MN. E.T. Loves you both. It's late and i can go into more detail . I got more knowledge like this if anyone wants and i'm looking for a job. Michael says. Electromagnetic waves that don't dissapate to control most of earth and radio waves basically to control the rest of the ones that are in planes outside of earth etc etc.
