  1. My reasoning starts with the presumption that one of two possibilities is true.

     

    1- Every individual you for example will experience life only on one occasion and never again... end of conversation.

    2- Individuality at least from the individuals point of view, is repeatable in nature (whether the individual knows it or not).

     

    The problem is that you are presuming it has to be one or the other. It can in fact be that both are true in a Universe with increasing entropy and a finite self life.

     

    Something may be repeatable but that does not mean it will be.

  2. It'd be a subset of everything available in Africa at that time that was the easiest to forage for.

     

    Probably nothing you are going to find in a supermarket, at least not in their original form. Some species of plants have also gone extinct as well.

     

    Tubers would be your best bet, some fruits maybe. Hard to know for sure what has been subject to artificial selection and what wasn't at this point.

  3. Install solar water heaters?

     

    Solar panels are inefficient if all you want is hot water. You lose energy by making electricity and then using that electricity to heat up water. Sunlight is quite capable of heating up water all on its own.

     

    Main issue with the towers would be that most of the available locations would decrease the amount of sunlight falling on the solar panel. Almost everywhere but the very top would see power intake cut by at least half. Flat stretches of land or roofs would tend to be better options.

  4. Are you suggesting the cleanest soil is in a place where they did heavy Nuclear Testing??? I don't think so my friend

     

    You mean the planet Earth?

     

    There are relative degrees of clean, but you won't find "completely unpolluted" anywhere. Good thing too, as certain heavy metals are critical for human life.

  5. I wouldn't say impossible, I prefer o think of it as meaningless. keep in mind relativity is observer dependent. We might come up with a different way to explain observational influences that provide a solution.

     

    Well, I mean impossible in terms of measuring zero. Frustratingly difficult subject to discuss.

     

    Extrapolating seems reasonable to say that could the photon have a perspective, that perspective would be that it took no time to travel no distance. Though you can't have such a perspective as the nature of that perspective forbids having it.

     

    Frustratingly difficult subject to discuss.

    :ph34r:

  6. I would jump all over someone if they insulted you.

     

    You yourself though made a statement insulting yourself. Others are allowed to reference that statement.

     

    I am kind of a " retard" when it comes to understanding things in a practical sense...

     

    The one person you cannot argue with is yourself. There is worse later on, but this example should suffice.

     

    My observation is that you have self esteem issues. I don't know why, on most days you do fine. You even managed to come across something most of us didn't know before this thread.

     

    Have some pride and realize the only one truly against your self-happiness is yourself.

  7. If I say, "Endy0816 is stupid." I would be breaking the rules.

     

    If I state "Endy0816 admitted to being ignorant". And Endy0816 did in fact make a statement to that effect; then it is a statement of fact. Statements of fact are allowed here.

     

    Your case is an example of the second.

     

    Now, I'm just going to ask that the thread be locked for everyone's sakes. The question was answered and answered well, so nothing more can be gained here.

  8. were not in the same frame of reference as the non existent frame of reference of the photon. we measure the photon according to our frame of reference.

     

    "In physics, a frame of reference (or reference frame) may refer to a coordinate system used to represent and measure properties of objects, such as their position and orientation, at different moments of time"

     

    if there is no time then there is no frame of reference

     

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_of_reference

     

    spacetime

    In physics, spacetime (also space–time, space time or space–time continuum) is any mathematical model that combines space and time into a single interwoven continuum

     

    if there is no time then there is no spacetime as well http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime

     

    GR and SR are based on geometric descriptions you cannot separate them to make a definition outside of those metrics

     

    Is it a case of trying to relate to a situation that is impossible to relate to?

     

    Been bothering me off and on.

  9. Don't over dramatize the situation. Many have made similar statements over the years. They are gone and the forum keeps going.

     

    Work on your behavior(which relative to many others is not even particularly bad).

     

    You are always free to leave, that is the very definition of freedom. If you choose not to then you willingly agreeing to accept community standards(codified by the rules).

     

    Now the thread probably should be closed as your original question has been answered. As the answer was one of the more interesting results of a speculation thread I'd even consider it a reasonably accurate speculation(a rarity here).

  10.  

    Right. But you have to remember that e is Euler number, not e elementary charge.

     

    So in our case it's (what we were talking about in #5 post):

    https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=h*c%2F650e-9%2Felementary+charge

     

    Yeah, garbage in, garbage out still applies.

     

    Mostly just beneficial in terms of speed and allowing Google parse your meaning for you.

     

    Can do: "elementary charge * e *1e5=" and Google can correctly parse it.

  11. I'm leaning towards a Big bang - Big Rip - Big Bang progression at the moment.

     

    Like a soap bubble that forms, expands and pops, but as it pops sets the conditions for more soap bubbles to form.

     

    Avoids the cross Universe interaction issue. Any distance to anything is infinite in the "above" Universe but at the same time in some sense it still exists(such as one can call that state existence).

     

    Kind of like the Universe as a Phoenix view, but without the need for a Universe Recycling Program.

  12. Outflanking in different forms perhaps. I probably need to go and reread it again myself. I was more enamored of The Prince at that age. I ended up reading Art of War less as a strategy guide and more as a historical account.

     

    If you must attack a walled city, remember a large wooden horse goes a long way.
