  1. I agree, it was a cheap red herring on my part but just over 50% is still not "love". Let's hold a similar poll for a country that is less full of itself like Croatia, New Zealand, Canada. I'm sure (just speculating ) that they will have better results.
  2. When did the world ever like America? Focus on Global average. But also check the only 2 countries on this list who do love America. Nigeria and Kenya. After all the racism, police brutality against black people and all the other stuff, Nigeria and Kenya are the only countries on this list that appear to have a positive opinion about US. (according to this debatable poll)
  3. What? Huh? I think I know who's high mate and it's not the latitude. Considering my above statement, I bet you do but the truth is: I'm not dancing.
  4. Hello MarkE, Don't limit yourself to youtube. If you want to find know more about this(Second Link) and also have some background (First Link) the two papers below will surely help. (I am currently going through the second one myself.) http://web.ihep.su/dbserv/compas/src/feynman48c/eng.pdf - Space-Time Approach to Non-Relativistic Quantum Mechanics R.P. Feynman http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1367-2630/14/9/095012/pdf - Matter and antimatter in the universe I really lack the knowledge and confidence right now to really agree or disagree with your post but I will leave a statement that I came across that: "physics is not time-reversal invariant."
  5. Future self is all I think of . I will surely look into index funds today. Are you using them as well? Haha, like Sensei mentioned and I forgot to, I live in Poland so some options here don't apply but I hope other members that live in the US can take advantage. Also it's the reason for the delay in answering.(Most of you are probably enjoying REM right now) I am not big on alcohol but I am essentially a man-child so I do have some costly addictions related to games and sports. Like Sensei mentioned, Poland is on the up now so a good idea might seem to buy real estate here - a plot of land, a small apartment. Sadly, without a loan, thats way out of my reach now so hence my original post. Anyway thanks to all, even though there have been no material profits from this thread (yet) morally and intellectually profits are flowing. Really, before I posted, I was thinking to myself to start a herculean beetle farm haha (with no market study ofc).
  6. Thank you for your answer. This is money that you don't necessarily need. Exactly to the point that you said, it feels stagnant to just save and leave it in a piggyback. This is money that is floating and even total loss due to a risky investment would not affect the survival of the individual. Although it would cause tears to shed.
  7. I don't think you understand what fertility is or you are not giving the right arguments for your case. "Staying in a kneeling position (while praying for example) increases the chances of pregnancy due to ....." - Would be a hypothetical example of BS that we are expecting. You give religious believe as your argument which I guess is "not even wrong."
  8. A republican who denies science? Why I never.... Your car wasn't built on the built on the principles of Christianity, and the knowledge to build the computer that you are using wasn't taken from the Torah, Bible,Mahabharata....
  9. Those are some big investments. I was thinking about smaller scales. And clothing takes a lot of time. I am searching for a one time investment kind of thing.
  10. Haha you flatter ALine, I did not mention that i live in rent so it's not exactly free of financial worry. Actually this worry is what makes me ponder. The rest of your post was very insightful. My problem is that I'm really hesitant to make bank loans to buy an apartment for example. I know it's a bad way of thinking as usually you end up paying rent as much as you would pay the bank for your own apartment but still, bank phobia is what I live with. To give you examples of other freaks like me, I am working in a corporation and I have a colleague who got sick of paying almost half his pay for rent (he earns a very respectable salary BTW) so he bought a Mercedes Sprinter 2014 and turned it into a house. He lives there and parks next to our job. He even has WIFI from it and does all the hygiene stuff at work.(corporation) It's a very hippie style but he basically pays nothing for rent. (I wont discuss the impracticality, legality or sheer wtf factor of this choice haha). If your only goal is to save money then he is winning haha. I like "stuff" too much so I could not do that.
  11. Hello, This is just an open discussion, I have some money (5K$) aside (I know it's not much but I'm 27 so it's a miracle that I even saved that) and I am curious what would you guys invest in or do to maybe increase it. I am not a fan of stock exchange so maybe nothing in that direction. (e-currency is also in that category) I want to do something productive but I have 0 inspiration. Feel free to share ideas on this topic even if they don't apply to me.
  12. Anyone who has seen Utopia knows what the solution to overpopulation is.
  13. How can you learn the unpredictable? Makes no sense.... I want to befriend the unclimbable.
  14. No, light would just travel a longer distance. This is gravitational lensing but the concept applies to your question. Light would not take the straight path and would therefore take a longer time to get there but it would still travel at c. Photons of light are not technically affected by large gravitational fields,* instead space and time itself become distorted around incredibly massive objects and the light simply follows this distorted curvature of space. *This might be controversial. Other members can weigh in on this. The rest of your comment is less grounded in the world of science and more in the reality that Alex Jones lives in so I won't address it. (but that's ok! It's speculation section, but you are high-jacking)
  15. Hmmm, I can't say anything about this but swansont does this for a living so he might give you more info about this.
  16. Don't worry, also you (correctly) posted in speculation so there is much room for discussion. Don't hesitate to raise questions like the above. There are members who are much better qualified to answer. Welcome to the forum BTW.
  17. is relative. c is not. The frame of reference is relative and the speed of light is constant. Speed of light does not have a maximum value. It has an exact constant value. That is c. "Speed of time" depends on the reference of frame.
  18. I fully agree that they are synonyms. Merriam Webster can help with that we don't need Hawking. But I just didn't want to get mixed up in subjects like the one posted by me. Apologies for the small high-jack Warped.
  19. I don't know. For me it's confusing to talk about warp of space time and not confuse with time-warp. http://www.hawking.org.uk/space-and-time-warps.html OP I assume was talking about the force of gravity. I am assuming the OP was not talking about time travel so I didn't want to get confused. Is this how the science community refers to the curvature of space-time? Space-time warp? I didn't know
  20. Curvature of space-time not warp. Technically it is a force. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction If you want you can keep it as "a consequence of the curvature of space-time". And no, there is no quantum theory of gravity yet but that does not mean there is no carrier. We just don't know yet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graviton
  21. hmmm.. a comma goes a long way in the above sentence.
  22. Same way Trump trumped Hillary. Through fallacious reasoning. Why do we never see people from other religions post these kinds of things? I read most bible related things just to debate with "true believers". I want to educate myself of other religion as well but I am powered by rage so there is no motivation.
  23. I'm sensing ignorance and lack of data but that's besides the point. Why do you think fear. What do you think is scaring me about the video you posted? (aside from the low quality of the execution)
  24. I think this is not the right forum for you OP. But I am sure there is a forum where you can discuss about this sort of fantasy. I am really not judging. I also enjoy a wacky conspiracy theory from time to time(maybe not quite as wacky as you like them) for entertainment value but this is not the right forum to discuss that. Definitely not in the Science section.
  25. Haha because I am a noob at scripts. Thank you very much all of you, I ended up making it through a calendar template in SharePoint. It does the deed for now so I will use it temporarily but I am paying very close attention on this thread for the future scheme.
