Chewbacca defense... What Jesus and CNN have to do with the FNC? Without pondering much over the question whether Fox News falls into the definition of "news", don't you think that the bias shown by FNC has at least quantitative difference compared to other similar networks. And even if it such does not existed, don't you see such bias as a problem in general?

According to me - no!

Even if his reasoning was right, the Bible doesn't say "God created the world in 5.47 days".

Perhaps we can view it as adaptation of our pattern recognition.

I really like to believe that he is just joking.

War is Peace,Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength

What will happen if the gravitational singularity inside a black hole, which rotates very fast, is stretched to a disk with diameter, greater than the event horizon? Is it even possible?

Which reminds me of Isaac Azimov's "Last Question".

Interesting, I was unfamiliar with comoving distances, and the comoving observer concept, the "Hubble flow", etc... But I wonder - if you average in some way the vectors (or tensors*) of movement for all "lumps of matter" in the observable universe, you will get one pretty [math]\vec{0}[/math]? Is this correct? * ajb, if I understood correctly one post of yours - tensors are more elegant way to facilitate relativistic calculations. However I don't think I have understood them very much and so feel free to correct me about it.

In everyday life, you are used to having a concept of universal movement. Things either move or remain stationary. However, it's important to realize, that this motion or movement in our daily activities, is actually a relative movement to the Earth. Which is the same as saying movement in the reference frame where Earth is considered stationary. Earth may be orbiting the Sun, and together with it - orbiting the galactic core, but it is experiencing no significant acceleration, which is something you can feel (and detect). So you don't feel the Earth moving, because it's moving at somewhat constant speed. For example, when you are in a train, you don't feel it moving if it is not speeding up or slowing down. There is no cosmic matrix to which, we can measure our speed. We can say - relative to the Sun we move with X speed, relative to the galaxy core, we move with Y speed. But we can't say we move with this absolute speed, because there is nothing that is absolute. P.S. It's true that Andromeda and the Milky way will intersect with each other, but due to the enormous vast distances between individual stars, it's unlikely that there will be much "crashing".

I found one of those lucid dream "triggers" pretty effective. It's the "see what time it is and then again" trick. Basically, when you check the time with your wristwatch (in da reel world), make a habit to recheck it very shortly afterwards. Once, i "woke up" ( ), got up from my bed, and then i looked at my watch - it was showing early afternoon, something like 14:25 for example. Then, as I checked it again - it was showing something like 35:65. Very cool way to realize that you are dreaming. This particular experience was very interesting for me, when I wondered why the second time the time was so absurd. As if my subconscious dream-weaving mind was trying to tell my conscious with it.

The term "permanent magnet" is used in specific context, meaning specific material. Otherwise nothing is permanent (or at least can't be proven to be).

He can measure his speed with relation to anything he wants. If he "sees nothing" in the Universe other than his ship, he can measure only his acceleration.

Can you give a real world example of the length between point P (present) and point F (future)?

If it is 3.5 MB bitmap (uncompressed image format, usually with extension .bmp), then you can convert it to either .jpg or .png compressed formats, and depending on what kind of image it is, you can achieve very good results with either. As to how, almost all image editing programs offer such option (for example Microsoft Paint).

You can use software such as FreeRAM Pro to make your other applications write their volatile data to swap memory, thus freeing some RAM just before you launch your memory hungry application.

Imagine, we are in a spaceship in Earth orbit. Now we turn the ignition switch and the rocket's engines begin to work. This means we have a constant force that propels our spaceship away, which results in acceleration (increase of speed over time). Now, you will say, it's only a matter of finite time and fuel to reach any speed. However, due to special relativity consequences, the more our spaceship's speed increases (relatively to Earth), the more it's mass increases (relatively to Earth). And therefore as the mass is greater, and the force remains the same, the resulting acceleration is smaller. When our spaceship approaches the speed of light (relatively to Earth), it's mass (again r.t.E.) approaches infinity, and therefore to actually reach the speed of light, it requires infinite energy.

vs. Can you find the difference?

Now these are pretty solid statements, forufes! You are generalizing and basically just oversimplifying. Watching the video footage from the raid, I can't understand, how can you not agree, that beating soldiers with metal poles, stabbing them with kitchen knifes and throwing stun grenades at them is not an honorable peace protest?! Before being accused of being pro-israeli, I definitely think that this situation could be managed much, much better by the IDF, but still, it's not all black and white...

Greetings with William Blake's "Garden of Love" : I went to the Garden of Love, And saw what I never had seen; A Chapel was built in the midst, Where I used to play on the green. And the gates of this Chapel were shut, And ‘Thou shalt not’ writ over the door; So I turned to the Garden of Love That so many sweet flowers bore. And I saw it was filled with graves, And tombstones where flowers should be; And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds, And binding with briars my joys and desires.

Our ancestors have been on a "whole food" diet for hundreds of thousands of years*. I've asked you in another thread - what makes you think that our digestive tract will be more suited to this hypothetical product, rather than a more simple and "normal" diet. * If you consider the beginning of our evolutionary history to be the beginning of our species that is. Else, it's in magnitudes thousand times larger.

Abiogenesis is the theory, generally accepted by mainstream science, but I think, you are implying a certainty, not shown by empirical evidence, considering the amount of time that this process took. On a different scale, the universe behaves differently. From quarks interacting with each other to relativistic space-time effects. Chemistry and chemical elements are simply human invented concepts, attempting to describe physical phenomena. So in this sense, they are quite specific and extending them like a metaphor to describe everything seems impractical to me. Wouldn't you agree that all chemicals are made of atoms, and all atoms of neutrons, protons and electrons, and then quarks and then... Another thing - most of the matter (that is the 4.6 % normal matter, not the dark energy and dark matter) in the universe is in form of plasma - no electrons. No electrons - no molecules.

It does not mention explicitly the mother or the child, so I would say the latter - the severity of the punishment is proportional to the severity of the crime (eye for an eye). The former interpretation seems rather far-fetched to me...
