    Does something exit before receiving the name?

    I fear you lack a base level understanding of how the physical world works. Objective Permanence usually begins at about 8 months.

    Objective permanence is an important cognitive milestone reached when your baby begins to understand that a toy, parent, or other familiar person or item still exists even if he can't see it. First discovered by a psychologist named Jean Piaget, object permanence means that your baby is starting to be able to imagine or "see" a person or thing in his mind, even if it's not there in front of him.

    The world is amount of something, and human mind literally creates the world. If there's no human mind, there is nothing.

    Of course there is. Dinosaurs existed even though no humans were there at the same time. How did the human mind come to be if there was nothing there from which they could have developed?

    Then all the info I have found over 20 years based on Einstein's Theory of Relativity and many others in the scientific community are wrong and should stop the use of The Big Bang Theory that literally states "Everything started as a ultra small and dense point that expanded outward in all directions in less than a millisecond". And why did the scientific community recently state that they have observed the Universe still expanding? Physics is physics and when something explodes in a vacuum the energy goes outward in all directions. Regardless I feel that we should be focused on the planet and our behaviour.

    It's a shame you chose to ignore everything that everyone had to say.

    Some  kind of a book,play  or collection (?) about her later years coming out I think. 

    They played this version of Pete Seeger's song whilst discussing her on the radio with the author. 

    I have this song on my iPhone, albeit a somewhat peppier version she did.

  5. Soldiers deal with this issue all the time. They know there are foes out there heading in their direction who will try to kill them. They also know there are friends out there heading in their direction who will not try to kill them. I'm hopeful the soldiers are smart enough to identify their potential targets before pulling the trigger.

    What kind of answers should I expect for the questions "Where does dark energy come from?" or "Is it possible that the redshift of the furthest galaxies is not related to expansion?"

    Answers based on science.

    If there can be no incredulity, there is no science, only fundamentalism.

    Nice straw man. When you don't at least pretend to contemplate the responses you receive you paint yourself a troll.

    What proof do we have that expansion of the universe creates red shift?

    There is no 'proof'. There is evidence that receding light sources redshift.

    ...we cannot say "Sometimes the cause of red shift is expansion of the universe and sometimes the cause of red shift is gravitational pull (according to need)."

    Why not? We have evidence of both.

    Why would light that changed its direction millions of times have the same energy than light that never changed its direction?

     

    Good question. Can you show evidence that when light changes direction its energy changes?

  11. 8 minutes ago, tmdarkmatter said:

    In that case why should we still think that the universe is expanding, if all the redshift can just be because of this "getting tired" effect?

    Um, because there is no evidence of a "getting tired" effect?

    Our duty is to decide which of our behavior will have a negative effect of the future of Life on this planet.

    Then doing our duty kind of sucks given all the war, genocide, global warming, pollution, nuclear weapons, etc.

    No, your question includes inherent false assumptions, and your understanding of how the world operates appears to be badly lacking. 

    Maybe you've heard of WW2 ? Harry S Truman ordered that about 200,000 mostly civilians, women and children included, should be blasted or horribly burnt to death. With the consent of Winston Churchill. You can still find their statues all over the place. It doesn't say immoral on the plinth. 

    Quit trolling. It's unbecoming.

    Do you have any idea of how politics works? Do you think it's all done by public pronouncements? You seem to have a very simplistic view of the world. Israel knows how far it can go. It's all done behind the scenes.

    Can you answer my questions please? And if you can do so without belittling my knowledge I'd appreciate it.

    Absolutely morally superior. They are fighting for the freedom of their people. They are freedom fighters. Israel is fighting to keep what's been stolen. If you suffer a house invasion, you have the right to fight. So do they. 

    So if one are fighting for the freedom of their people, then the targeted killing of women, children and civilians is not immoral? Or is it just a little bit immoral?

    It's the US government that calls the real shots.  

    Are you saying they called for an invasion of Gaza? If not, what shots do you believe they have 'called' during this current situation?

    8 minutes ago, mistermack said:

    Maybe not, but the moral depths are firmly occupied by the state of Israel and it's US backers.

    But not Hamas? Do you feel Hamas is in some way superior morally to Israel in this exchange?

    Perhaps for the same reason that the dispersion of matter throughout the universe is not completely smooth and uniform either. 

    Why is the CMBR not completely smooth and uniform, in contrast to red-shifted light from distant galaxies, given that as you said "my hypothesis would have the same effect on all electromagnetic radiation including the CMBR."
