Hmm... it seems to me, to be merely a 3D representation of the kind of graph where you scan for traces of specific atoms, which is making the "spiked" effect, rather than a representation of the boundary/shape of the atom itself. I forget what the name of that type of graph is called (I know, I'm stupid) but it just registeres a "bumb" when it detects the presence of a particular type of atom, y'know?

What about if atoms already are 4-dimensional? Because they already exist in time - electrons orbit them, etc. which couldn't happen if there was no time for it to happen in.

Well I did also answer the poll too. I chose the Pythagoral equation, as I think it's pretty neat. BTW - If that post offended you so much that you felt it important enough to include your own post, doing nothing more than requesting the deletion of them both- you should have just sent me a PM stating your objections. Antony.

Who's that book by? It sounds intersting.

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you mean, but as the dimension of time isn't a two-way direction, it can (and does) exist in the same place as the 3 spacial dimensions, all at once. Does that help any?

But... what about when they have to accelerate to get to the almost-speed-of-light? Each train will have to START moving, so would the G-force be cumulative according to the speed of the "reference point" - ie: the train it's on?

I think it would do, after all it's effectively negating the effect of "survival of the fittest". I'm interested in the logical descisions v. emotional descisions debate too.

My favourite equation? Eleven + two = twelve + one.

Possibly in a couple of hundred years, that's assuming if any project is even allowed to be researched - free from interference from ignorant godbodies with their biased objections.

I think the inertia inside the trains will be too great for anything inside to go faster than a crawl, even when all the trains are taken into account and their speeds, the cumulative total could never be light speed as the G-force would be too great for any of the internal trains to be able to move forward. It's all about G-force.

I think the closest you could get would be to grow them independently of the body, then graft them on after maturation. But that seems kinda icky. Not to mention there would be no nerve pathway connections, circulatory system connection and everything else...

Isn't it obvious? Noah's ark was a transport vessel to store cryogenically frozen embryos - therefore he could take two of each creature's fertilised eggs and get around the size problem that way. I'm sure the bible gives the specifications for a cryogenic tank, dosn't it?

What ethnicity were Adam and Eve supposed to be?

I've not read that book, what's a Meme?

To quote something I read somewhere: "DO NOT POINT AT THE CREATURE!" You could say: All people are animals, but not all animals are people.

I don't think that would be workable, the musculature required to manipulate the wings effectively would be rather disfiguring, I'd imagine? The density of the human body would mean the wings wouldn't work anyway as you'd still be too heavy to fly. It should be possible to enhance or change a part of the body that already exists in human physiology, such as growing a tail, adapting bone structure or even reproducing organs that are already a part of human anatomy - having 4 arms or two hearts for instance. I don't know much about human DNA, but if there was code for wing development, or gills, or electromagnetic sense organ somewhere, then you'd know what to modify - some part of a redundant gene sequence. But it would be far more difficult to create something from nothing. (NOTE: These are just my thoughts on the subject, nothing that has been proven yet.)

I was thinking about an idea that ther may be more than one dimension of time, which (like the fundemental forces) overlapped when the early Universe was so hot and dense, and after the Universe had expanded and cooled past a critical point, the two dimensions of time seperated, and so we notice the effect of only one temporal dimension. Although saying that, it could also be that the spacial dimensions could have been combined at the start of the Universe, to explain why expansion *seemed* to have gone faster than that which would be allowed by today's laws of nature.

I think it's the same kind of thing like if you were to drop a 1g weight and a 10Kg weight, they'd both travel towards the ground at the same speed, which is dependant to the mass of the earth. I forget what KPH that is, but bear with me. Even with a mass as superdense as a black hole/singularity, the speed it which it pulls anything towards it can't be faster than light speed, surely? (EDIT: I hope that makes sense, I know what I'm trying to say but don't know how to word it.)

I'm sure that the gravity of a black hole can't pull anything faster than light, it's just a reference to the escape velocity neded to break free of the gravity of a black hole, is higher than light speed. That same way that the escape velocity of earth is quite high, but not too fast that a rocket can't match it.

Does that make Adam and Eve brother and sister/father and daughter, or is Eve simply a female clone of Adam?

There wasn't a singluarity because all of the matter took up ALL of the space, unlike today's singularities which are in only one point of space.

Something's been puzzling me, why is it considered that at the time of the big bang, the universe started by expanding "normally" then, underwent a period of accelerated expansion, then went back to "normal"? Could it not have started out at the increased expansion rate (inflation from the very start of the universe at the big bang), before settling into the rate we see now?

Space is the distance between things, and time is the interval between them. Time and space wouldn't exist without any matter or energy to use as a point of reference for them, as the concepts of both would be meaningless.

I don't understand, perhaps you're using a definition I'm not familiar with...?

If there really are all these gnarhly influences in Gettysburg, how come there isn't a constant research lab set up there with regular papers published on these happenings? Surely it's like a scientific diamond mine?
