We already have a spacecraft that has left the solar system. No need to wait for the distant future, we could have already sent dead people on their way to another star. Please be specific with some issue preventing us from traveling to another star that we will never overcome. Wow. Not even sure how to respond to this one.

I suspect that if our star was going to no longer be an energy source for us in the relatively near future that we would begin work on an inter-stellar ship for people. I don't see current physics stopping us.

Your continued misuse of the English language is another factor making it difficult to have meaningful discussions with you.

You asserted... You don't really need to prove "that volume of an object equals the volume of space it is occupying." I don't see how 'the volume of an object' is relevant to your assertion

You are speaking of "nothing" as if it were "something". i.e. ""nothing" occupies five feet of space". "Nothing" does not 'occupy'. You can no more assign a size to "nothing" then you can assign a color to it. Saying there is "nothing" in a particular five cubic feet of space is not the same as saying there is a "nothing" over there with a size of five cubic feet.

Can you fill in a few more details please? I'm not sure how you got from one to the other.

You didn't.

Science at its best!

LOL!

I suppose science has already disproved life on other planets and planets in other galaxies since we've failed to find any evidence for them. Perhaps one day you can post something other than 'life sucks'.

Interesting. When people claim that religion contributes to things like radicalism, homophobia, terrorism, etc., you tend to dismiss their claims by suggesting that people have those tendencies anyway, and if they didn't blow things up in the name of religion they would blow things up for other reasons. It would follow then that perhaps religion is not the cause of humanitarianism, but that those people would be humanitarians whether religion existed or not. To repeat Phi's request, do you have any evidence that it is "religion" that is making the contribution, and that without it, those humanitarian acts would not have occurred?

What types of contributions are you referring to?

"Psychiatry does not exist" "Schizophrenia does not exist" "a psychiatrist simply says you're nuts, gives you medication, and ruins your relationship with family and friends - forever labelled as insane."

You've been attacking psychiatrists and Psychiatry since the OP. I questioned your motive but did not attack it. I also questioned the logic and rationality in your posts.

I thought it was because...

For you to think that psychiatrists have a goal of curtailing the lives of patients rather than trying to help them shows how far out of touch you are.

Why? Because anyone who doesn't think like you is mentally ill? https://www.space.com/22758-mars-colony-volunteers-mars-one.html

Perhaps he is referring to the following where 58-71 and 90-103 are pulled out to keep the table from being nearly twice as wide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_tabl e

Just because psychiatry didn't work for you is no reason to lie about psychiatrists. You are not being rational.

Whose goal do you believe it to be?

To have any hope of winning over others, you really need to quit complaining and focus your efforts on convincing people that your IDEAS are correct. Answer questions, address concerns, provide additional data, work hard. If you are unable to convince anyone you are correct, then you have either not provided a convincing argument, or you are wrong.

Given that you are not concerned with historical accuracy, that your response to the reason for gathering this information was vague at best, and that you are showing unapologetic bigotry, answering any of your questions seems risky.

Depends. Can you rank those troops for us based on their quality of life prior to being used as suicide bombers? Can I ask why you are hunting for the best triggering mechanism for a suicide vest? Sounds like we are getting into dangerous territory.

What do you mean by that?

Not in the 1860's. Another trigger in his other hand?
