Doctor, what do I have? "you have a submission syndrom, you are always doing what you are told to do. It is curable but you must do exactly what I will tell you". (adaptation from a comic strip of Philippe Geluck)

Jack the thief meets his friend Bob the thief parking his splendid Ferrari. _"What a great car you have, Bob, where did you stole it?" _"I didn't stole it" answers Bob _"I don't believe you!" _"Sure, I buyed the car" _"O, yes, you stole some credit card!" _"No, no I payed as usual" _"What do you mean as usual, you used a bad check!" _"No I told you Jack, I payed with money, cash" _"What??? Wait a moment, it was false money, isn't it?" _"No, I am not that stupid to steal false money".

I am afraid some people are serious about that claim. It belongs to the very very old belief that kings, tsars and other pharaons are delegations of some deity. One could even argue that the root of religion is to strengthen the basis of political power. Replace day-eetee by eetee, and you get reptilians.

12 foot? I didn't realize the Queen was that tall.

1. They don't have blue blood. From Wiki. 2. what is the color of reptile blood: red. 3. They are humans like you and me. They don't make eggs. French revolutionists killed them without noticing anything so strange. The idea of half-humans hybrids comes from ancient Egypt, maybe earlier. I thought people evolved since then.

Hey here I am again. So i learned you are getting to upgrade the Forum. That's great. Proposal: I would like to downlad entire threads. Would that be possible? I'd like to keep conversations on my hard disk, even maybe on hardcopy. If threads could be converted to some format like Word or PDF, that would be great. And that would be a première I think. Argh, this thread disappeared from "My content " list. It is very annoying...

You're the best.

Proposition: Is it possible in the thread list to put the creation date of a thread (next to or below the "started by"). It would be informative.

Isn'it possible to insert manually a thread into My content?

Again: I posted in an old thread (different responses to fermi paradox) but it does not appear under My Content. I guess the My Content list contains only fresh ones. Can this be solved in some manner? thanks

That's it.

Thank you for your clarification. But, if the expanding sphere represents a system of reference (is this the case?), the clocks in your graphs should expand at the same rate with the sphere, and not remain the same width as you are showing. As much as I can understand, your graphs show a clock reducing in size as time passes by.

I don't understand the graph. 1. It looks like a cube seen in perspective. 2. The center (the origin) coincides with a corner, It is a bit confusing. 3. If there is expansion, how does it come that the clocks are represented as these blue stripes? I would expect to see the blue part like a triangle (a stripe getting wider & wider) radially. Or I understand nothing.

I don't understand where is acceleration in your graphs. I only see uniform expansion, so I guess I am missing something.

Brilliant. I support this hypothesis. So, if I understand correctly, you are examining a concept in which all dimensions are expanding, that is our ruler of space is expanding and our ruler of time is expanding too. I call that a scaling theory and I support the concept.

That is also my understanding. I agree 100% "speed of time" is not a clear concept, as you exposed thoroughly, because you obtain a speed of 1 sec/sec, which means nothing. If you want to get something meaningful, you must invent the reverse of speed (call it "deeps") where "deeps" of time is expressed in seconds/meters. Then you obtain a meaningful concept where: for any spend second you must have traveled a certain amount of space. That is obliged motion, as observed. ----------------------------------- and if you consider that this motion must take place in the remaing 3 dimensions alltogether, you obtain scaling, either in expansion or contraction. That is my pet theory.

Welcome. Your avatar is intriguing, what is it?

No doubt about that. You are asking a lot but you don't take part to the conversation, why?

I got an obsession: where is Mr Rayon?

Well done Captain. Graphs have so many times a hidden agenda. One could add _Why separate catholics from other christians and on the other side put Sunni & Shia muslims together? _why choose black color for Islam? Because black is the color of death in a christian mind, or because black color covers everything else? I vote for the latter because it is a rule in these diagrams to use transparent colors* _the entire U.S. population has become christian, how come? * it is quite difficult to get readable diagrams of this kind because 2 colors by transparency make a 3rd color that you can not use in the legend for representing something else. For example if you use blue and yellow, you get green by intersection: you cannot use green for representing an entity.

Hum. I don't see any country right from the U.S. although the States are number 7 in the following list. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita After Qatar, Brunei & UAE which are muslim nations.

You can't be serious. So you believe that people in the southern countries don't work and that is the reason they don't get prosperous. source wiki In fact people in poor countries may work terribly harder and longer than in rich countries because of lack of productivity. It is not the heat that make people lazy. You must abandon the romantic image of the Mexican enjoying a good sleep next to his donkey. The Mexican is exhausted because he hasn't eat proteins for days and he economies his sweat because he has not enough fresh water to drink. He would jump immediately if you proposed him a work in the assembly production of Mercedes-Benz and he would work harder and not have the demands of a German worker.

If that were true then never would the anvcient greeks have ruled the Mediterranean till India, nor would the Roman Empire exist at all. Carthage was south of Rome and was about to rule out the eternal city. Egypt was also south of London. The Ottoman Empire was the fear of Europe for centuries. There are a lot of historical examples.

One has to observe that Klaynos & Swansont introduced in the discussion the concept that change in something can occur without motion. Swansont supported Klaynos statement that Why a change in energy level does not involve motion? It is not to Daedalus to prove that, it is to Swansont or Klaynos to support their argument.

Maybe you can find something in some old threads of mine http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/44134-the-pencil-universe/ http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/53438-hollow-disk-of-space/ http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/52836-scale-factor/ http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/46672-can-we-see-it/page__st__20 and last but not least from this Forum's Trash Can http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/43241-space-time-diagram/ O.K. well understood. But NEVER make honest statements about your lack of knowledge. It is intellectual suicide in this Forum. No need to lie, just don't say anything. That is my humble advice.
