If I prayed for something that couldn't be, like fix a broken glass, and it was repaired, that would be evidence. However, none of my prayers have ever been acknowledged. Thus, I'm skeptical, and the world goes on with bad men killing babies. I don't pray for such things; does anyone. If that's the work of god, screw him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bimbo36 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 The universe is a huge mystery to all of us , i guess it is ok to believe in a thing that has created gravity and all these electrical particles . Earth with a lot of weight is still not falling down is like one huge mystery in itself ...lol -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a positive thing that you recognise your ignorance on this matter. It is a negative thing that you think that ignorance extends to everyone else. There is still much that we do not understand about the universe, but a great deal more is known about it than you imagine. Just some pointers: weight is a measure of the attraction of the Earth for any objects on it. The weight of an object varies depending upon where it is on the Earth and at what altitude and upon the composition of the Earth, especially nearby, because all of these things influence the magnitude of the attraction. It therefore makeslittle sense to talk about the weight of the Earth. We can talk about its mass, which is a measure of the amount of matter it contains. Look at the articles on weight and mass in wikipedia and ask questions if necessary. But to avoid further derailing of this thread ask them in a new thread.

Bender Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The definition of weight is the force exerted on a supporting structure. Since Earth is not resting on a supporting structure, but floating around in space (free-falling around the sun, so to speak), it has no weight. As a general rule of thumb when something is a mystery to you: try to learn before resorting to fantastic stories, which have the danger of preventing future learning.

bimbo36 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Well i know it as gravity , but i don't know for sure how gravity works . there fore the mysteriousness . Massive objects bends space so lesser massive objects float around it ? How does mass bend nothingness , i have only seen documentaries in youtube explaining these things . but i have not understand what i have read in the books properly . I am not that old and i am only a computer science student Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not that old and i am only a computer science student No one knows how. ;-) but we can measure what happens when masses come together. Masses attract according to a mathematical equation. The force of attraction depends upon the masses involved and the distance between them... the further apart they are the less they attract.

I am not that old and i am only a computer science student All mass/energy bends/warps spacetime.....Note spacetime not space. Spacetime is simply the multi-dimensional framework within which we locate events and describe the relationships between them in terms of length, breadth height and time. The concept of spacetime follows from the observation that the speed of light is invariant, i.e. it does not vary with the motion of the emitter or the observer. Intervals of space and time considered separately are not the same for all observers. In GR, gravitation is described and reflected in the GR equations as the warping/curving/bending/twisting of spacetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you missed my signature quote, right below the original poem: Quote Life is the poetry of the Universe Love is the poetry of lifeYou do not possess belief, belief possesses you... I'm always open to new ideas, I just don't let them crawl into my skull and take a dump... “The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, but illusion of knowledge.” — Stephen Hawking "In every country and in every age the priest has been hostile to liberty; he is always in allegiance to the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection of his own." ~ thomas jefferson Religion evaporates in the light of critical inquiry much like the morning dew in the light of the rising sun...

Baron d'Holbach Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Sorry dude. No evidences for Moses. Never existed. No record of Abraham or Aaron or Samson or even David and Solomon.
