  1. This forum is comprised mainly of people who care more about demoting others than in partaking, constructitvely, in discussions where their own and others knowledge can be increased. Those of you that are guilty of this will never contribute anything to science or civilization. You will never be demiurgic or do anything original. You will continue to regurgitate other peoples ideas and feel that you are intelligent for doing so. In reality, you are a hampster on a wheel. I pity each of you that your lives are such that you must come here and criticize others so that you may feel worthy. For those that have the ability to think for themselves, keep on keepin' on. Don't let these people deter you. If you stick with them you will only go where they go....no where! I depart realizing that I leave this forum neither better nor worse. I would not be so egocentric. Would you?
  2. No ass, muscles are comprised of particles.
  3. I'm sorry that your life is such that you just can't seem to not be an asshole!
  4. So, could this observance be related to such things as muscle atrophy, and degradation of bone density in very inactive people? Could a general lack of movement limit lifespan whereas the opposite generally increases lifespan?
  5. What techniques or methods do therapists use to guide a session?
  6. I was looking for something a little more focused.
  7. Very intersting, thank you, that is what I was looking for.
  8. Wow, great, yay, you already stated that. Are you a glory-hound or what! Look, if you are too bothered that you have already "stated" it then feel free to abstain. I wouldn't want to put you out any further. I may continue to asks questions that you have already answered in the past, and quite frankly I'm getting tired of your pissiness. Now, with regards to these particles who's lifespans are known and predictable, when they are moving with velocity are their lifespans lengthened or shortened in relation to their established lifespan?
  9. Or he can do it here and you can choose to ignore it vice let it ruin your day. Thanks, Intel, for trying to get us back on track. I'm interested in learning more on the particle accelerator results that back up the twins paradox. Can anyone speak on that briefly?
  10. Forgive me if I don't use the proper clinical terms here....Scenario: Someone suffers a traumatic event as a child. The person's mind has suppressed the event. There is an underlying and subconscious anger in that person, stemming from the event, but which can't be expressed in a manner related to the event because the event is being suppressed. What techniques could said person use to associate their anger with the event in order to express and expel the anger?
  11. I implore you not to react to me based on your frustration with PD. Let Peter go on his course. He harms no one. Who knows where his journey will take him. This forum seems to be populated more with curious layman than by qualified scientists. You could likely spend a lot of time being irritated by people's posts if you wanted to so waste your energy.
  12. First of all, my reply never inferred anything about arrogance. Just wanted to point that out so that we know who first made this a character issue. You assume, and wrongly so, that I don't bother to take time and effort to read and understand. I most certainly do read and try to understand. That is what brought about the questions. I will likely be able to answer my own questions, and satisfy my own doubts, with yet more reading . But it is also nice to post here so that people can help along the way. That is what this FORUM is all about: People communicating in hopes of furthering their understanding. Different people may take different routes in order to increase their understanding of things. That someone else's route is different than yours, even vastly so, doesn't make their journey any less credible or important. The proof is in the pudding. In this instance, it is not the journey but arriving at the destination that counts. Don't be so quick to discount someone's ideas. Often times, the most direct route is not the best path to a destination. Many breakthroughs have come on the heels of unorthodox thinking. Also, failure still furthers the effort. Sometimes, knowing which way NOT to go can be just as important as knowing which way to go. Such important facts can be gleaned from failed attempts. The fact that you are annoyed that people continue to state things which you disagree with, and who's discrepancies you've pointed out countless times already, displays arrogance. If someone posts something that you disagree with, and you feel obliged to "set them straight" with facts, that's one thing. That is being helpful. Becoming insulting with comments like, "you didn't actually know what was going on," only serves to demote people. Acting this way, when people may not understand what you are saying or choose to disagree, is arrogant. You could choose, once you have set the facts straight once, to feel that you have done all you can for that person and abstain. You choose instead to become insulting and condescending. The golden rule...if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all. Now, getting back to the orignal issue (and if you are not to bothered to be helpful), you mentioned that operation of a particle accelerator yields proof of the twins paradox. Could you expound on this for me, please? I'm interested. Do accelerated particles show either a prolongation or decrease in lifespan or something?
  13. Why is it that a couple of individuals here seem more intent on informing people of how little they know vice participating constructively in this forum?
  14. I doubt that I am the only person who feels this way. I will admit though, mine may be a more American view, and a right wing one at that. I find it appalling that people, such as junkies and those that are on unemployment, have the audacity to criticize government programs that are there to help them. It is never "enough" for them, nor is it ever convenient enough for them. Programs such as these should be such that people don't want to take part in them for any longer than they absolutely have to. Otherwise, why would anyone ever strive to become independent of them? Programs such as these need to be strict so that people cannot abuse them as has been done in the past. Bottom line, the old cliche'...beggers can't be choosers!
