This is what I'm really having problem with. How can something be made of nothing. If quarks are things that means it has a perticular lenght. If that lenght can be divided(any non-imaginary number), that means quarks or electron can be divided. Hence we can see what it is made up of. But suppose even if we find out that they are made up of something, then we will have to find out what those things are made up of. Won't we keep going in infinity? I seriously believe that we can keep going forever when disecting particals. And this is why we can 'grasp' the concept of infinity. Same thing goes for strings . They must be made up of something. Remember 100 years ago we thought atom was it, then came electron/protons, then cam quarks and now strings. What makes us sure that strings are final. I really believe there is no final here. But I can't prove it, its just a belief (yes i see the irony).
Bravo! Realliy nice explanation. This explains the mechanics of the speed of light and its effect on time. However, I still do not know (probably my ignornace) or cannot understand why the speed of light is constant . I mean why does time behave differently when its made up of the same 'matter' (i.e electron/proton) as you and me? Why will it travel at the same speed no matter whats the speed of the observer is?
Thats not true. Rarely newbies are better than experts. Its just that media often picks up on these kinds of rare stories. Of the thousand times when experts beats newbies, no one reports that. But once a newbie beats expert its in the news. So we only here newbie beating experts all the time.
With references like "With references like 'open sores software,' it's easy to believe that ADTI might be somewhat biased." its easy to believe that the summary of this arrticle might be somewhat biased.
I completely agree with you and almost every post which are along these lines. However, I have never heard a solution for this problem, other then not owning a cell phone. In OS market, if you are fedup with windows, you have Mac or linux. But with Cell phones, all the service providers are crooked! Does anyone have any idea on how to tackle this issue? Seriously, we do not have any 'alternative' or 'open source'ish kinda thing going in cell phones world...
may I ask why Apple building those software products into their systems isn't evil an monopolistic?
Sure you can ask, and sure I have an answer:
"In a 1998 meeting in which Jobs asked Adobe Systems executives to develop a Mac version of their consumer video-editing program changed his mind. 'They said flat-out no,' Jobs recalls. 'We were shocked, because they had been a big supporter in the early days of the Mac. But we said, 'Okay, if nobody wants to help us, we're just going to have to do this ourselves,'"
Love it or hate it, but yahoo is part of internet culture. Years from now when people will talk about internet revolution or digitial revolution (or whaterver its name is/will be), you can bet your ass yahoo will be mentioned (atleast in the footnotes).

and what are protons and electrons made of?
you wanna know what happend??? My daughter happend dammit!
oops...I meant light, not time.
