    Time.

    I like the question mark. There are times when I think I am not in agreement with myself to? aguy2
  2. I was sure I had a couple of current sites in my 'favorites list' that indicate that the phenonomen you alluded to doesn't seem to account for the apparent lack of anti-matter in the visable universe, but I can't seem to find them. aguy2
  3. I wouldn't be all that surprised if it isn't already being tried. Could you imagine 5 Michael Jordons on the same court! aguy2
  4. mr d, Concidering questions concerning 'anti-matter' galaxies you might want to check out http://physics.about.com/b/a/034824.htm Insane_alien and 5614 are right about 'anti-matter' and 'dark energy'(?). aguy2
  5. How about the question, "Why wasn't the post inflationary expansion more uniform?"; this was a question that wasn't directly addressed by the model of the model. aguy2

    Time.

    Concidering only our internal mental constructs a good case can be made that 'time's passage is accumulated'. But our preceptions of the universe aren't the universe. In the 'quantum' world of the very small the statement 'time's passage is accumulated' doesn't make sense, because in the quantum world there is no such thing as the 'passage of time', let alone a gain or a loss of such a thing. In the cosmological world of the very large, with an assumption of a series of oscillating/cyclic sub-universes, I can make a good case that in any given cycle the case is 'as space expands, time contracts'. The point being that it may be true that 'time's passage is accumulated' only in the minds of bipedal apes. aguy2 Ps. There apparently aren't any such critters as "memory cells".

    Time.

    1) Why does the verifiable nature of the passage of time at relativistic velocities seem so alien to our emotions and feelings? 2) Why do we maintain the persistent illusion that our existence is somehow 'accumulating' time, when every beat of our heart brings us closer to our demise? aguy2

    Time.

    Are you saying that such things as 'time', 'emotion', and 'feeling' are mental artifices, and thats all they are? If this were true, why wouldn't what little empirical evidence we have match up with and tend to support our mental constuct of time's nature? aguy2

    Time.

    The discernable nature of time I contend that the only empirical evidence we collectively possess concerning the 'nature of time' can be summed up as follows: "Time's passage seems totally dependent upon local conditions." This represents very little verifiable evidence, hence the possibility of discussions like the one we are having, where almost anyones guess seems as valid as another. Why is it that we all seem to 'feel' that we know what we are talking about, when we should all 'know' that collectively we don't know diddly from squat? Has the nature of time, that the physicists know, bear some 'real' relationship to such things as 'emotions' and 'feelings'? aguy2
  11. The man would be facing 2 challenges: 1) avoiding being poisoned by radioactivity 2) the consequences of nuclear winter He could either: a) find a power source and go underground b) head south while trying to avoid areas that had been nuked aguy2
  12. Does it say 'square root'? nonetheless Wouldn't the solution to the problem be more like: girls = two times? aguy2 bascule, do you happen to be a Californian?
  13. bascule' date=' Time [b']and[/b] money is not time times money. Wouldn't the 'solution' to this 'problem' be more like '2 moneys', seeing as 'time is money'. aguy2
  14. I was reading Revelation some other day and it dawned on me that it really doesn't give any indication who won. It doesn't even leave out the possibility of a negotiated settlement! Of course M.S. might say that there could be a 'stalemate' that leads to a war of 'attrition' and no matter how many of the 'forces of evil' were killed by the 'forces of good', the 'forces of evil' always had plenty of new recruit/replacements. To make a long story short the 'forces of good' finally figured out that by destroying the 'forces of evil' they were only offering up the victors as new recruit/replacements for the 'forces of evil'. So they decided to 'negotiate'? aguy2
  15. Wouldn't the effects of music on the emotions be more like 'augmenting' them? Or reminding us of past emotional states and then 'augmenting' them? aguy2
  16. Actually, I was more interested in the effects the turbulence has on the 'pulse' itself. Could the turbulence's influence on the pulse be akin to 'canister shot' or some other appropriate analogy? aguy2
