Not only did they not have any principles saying that it was impossible, they also had evidence that it was possible. Unless you thought that birds only came into existance recently.

Net acceleration anyway.

It is equal to 1/(infinity) seconds.

Quite true if you want to talk about the orbit as a simple harmonic motion!

Only if you define the positive direction as being 'Away from the sun', which seems silly. The earth's speed, ignoring tidal effects, friction and other such minor interactions, will remain fairly consistent throughout the year, or at least have a consistent cycle.

Indeed. Like when rolling a die, you may never get to 6.

The cat can do what it likes, the superposition still exists from our point of view. Remember, folks, that observing is any method of discovering whether the cat is living or dead. Find the center of mass of the box, shake it a bit, call in a psychic. These all count as 'observing' just as much as opening the box.

I. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. It's stationary when it begins. We were talking about it on the slope. You said that it didn't have a horizontal component of acceleration on the slope. Resolve parallel to the ground, please. (The angle is there because I've just pasted it from another thread) Similarly, I hear you say that's impossible for the earth to orbit the sun, or for there to be indivisible particles. Put words into my mouth all you like, I have an exemplary understanding of basic mechanics.

That's an acceleration, is it not?

If there's no horizontal acceleration, how does it move down the slope?

What?

Can you clarify the question? I suspect it's because of the inelastic collision with the ground, but can't be sure that's the answer.

This doesn't matter in the slightest for Special Relativity. It matters for General Relativity, but that's not what you're talking about.

Or, stated more generally, the absurdity of applying QM to macroscopic events.

The earth is accelerating. The sun is not (in this little system anyway).

None and never.

I really have no idea what this means.

Changing the wavelength can be done (doppler shift, for example). And you can't really piggyback radio and visable light, because visable light doesn't have the properties of the radio wave that let it be transmitted for the distances it is.

It doesn't need to. It works perfectly alongside it. Only in that it doesn't describe everything, but then it's not supposed to. Is Quantum Mechanics any less useful because it doesn't describe how creatures evolve?

The ruler represents the rest frame of y.

I think you mean that it is 'being replaced as the acceptable minimum', rather than 'being over taken'. I would definitely recommend 3200, but 2700 will cause fewer problems than cutting corners on CPU/MB.

The Halo 1 problems depended on the card; for example, whilst the Radeon 9700 Pro is many times more powerful than (say) the Geforce 4400, the latter runs Halo 1 much better than the former. It's Gearbox's fault, they made a terrible conversion. You do realise that, by and large, those are either running on 5 year old engines or are conversions of games running on 5 year old consoles? (Give or take a bit for sentence symmetry).

Half Life 2 and Doom 3 run perfectly happily on my laptop, which has a lesser graphics card. The 5500 is actually a reasonably good card, it just wasn't cost effective compared to the radeon 9800 pro. And if Halo 1 is anything to go by, not even SLI'd 6800's would do the job. For the upgrades, you're not going to find them particularly cheaply. The best way to go, at the moment, is propably a Sempron 3100+, Socket 754 Motherboard and a stick of DDR2700/3200.

You appear to be confused. If people say 'I believe in god', I don't say 'lol ure stupid, god doesn't exist', only if they make empirically refutable or logically incorrect statements do I argue.
