  1. From the "Course Goals" on University of Toronto: Anti-vaccine Homeopathy Course Is Fine · · Score: 5, Informative

    "Question the priorities and approaches of mainstream western medicine through the lens of a more holistic approach to health."

    "Understand the connection between body, mind, energy, and spirit and how the interplay between these impact health and disease."

    "Intelligently address the concerns of those afraid of alternative medicine or skeptical about its efficacy. "

    Wow, this sounds like a nice university...

  2. Re:There's a relationship... on Study: Stop Being So Cynical, You Could Give Yourself Dementia · · Score: 3, Funny

    ... but is it cause and effect? Or effect and effect? Could the very high levels of cynical distrust be a result of some malady that eventually causes the dementia?

    You have just increased your dementia chances.

  3. AGE vs SIZE of the unverse on Record-Breaking Galaxy Found In Deep Hubble Image · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I am surprised to see so many comments without even one mentioning the difference between the AGE of the Universe (13.7 billion l.y. ) and the SIZE of the observable universe (radius 47 billion l.y.).
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe

    From the Wiki Article:
      The age of the Universe is estimated to be 13.7 billion years. While it is commonly understood that nothing travels faster than light, it is a common misconception that the radius of the observable universe must therefore amount to only 13.7 billion light-years. This reasoning makes sense only if the Universe is the flat spacetime of special relativity; in the real Universe, spacetime is highly curved on cosmological scales, which means that 3-space (which is roughly flat) is expanding, as evidenced by Hubble's law. Distances obtained as the speed of light multiplied by a cosmological time interval have no direct physical significance.[11]

    So, the light from this Galaxy actually traveled more than 13.7 billion years (I don't know how to make the conversion but probably around 45 billion ?)

  5. Re:I've been there on Help for an MMORPG Addict? · · Score: 1

    First of All u r not Agnostic!
    Agnostic and any kind of "believe" just don't go together.

    Agnostic is a person who claims that not only God but any other Higher Power existance is uncertain and unproven so he can't believe in it, but he also can't claim that there are no such Power. He claims that there is not enought facts to talk about the matter at all.

    And i just checked ur 12-steps program and the word Higher Power found in almost every step there.
    So u must start to beleive in it for the program to work.
