As a result, space is expanding *between* the galaxies where gravity can't overcome this mysterious force. Within galaxies (and our local group), gravity is quite enough to overwhelm it. Thus our little corner of the universe will remain bound by gravity, but the space between the large clusters will expand at an increasing rate.
When our little corner of the universe which is bound by gravity in a space of emptiness does collapse, the next big bang will be smaller giving raise to a smaller universe where smaller people might evolve. And who knows? Perhaps the last big bang was preceded by a much larger one.
I liked what you said about cosmic coefficient being a really weak force. That made alot of sense.
No kidding. I bought a new computer a few months ago because I needed a faster machine. It was right about the time all the stores installed Vista on everything. I use all sorts of different programs but my new and faster portable computer with Vista on it could only run about 20% of the programs I use. I actually had to order a copy of XP just so I could use my new and faster computer. Vista all by itself is nice and everything but it is more important that I am able to run the programs I need to run. Anyway, I told everyone I know who is not a newb with computers to be prepared to purchase XP if they are wanting to buy a new computer.
Most immigrant are here because the US economic system affords opportunities at all levels of skill that are far superior to those available in other countries.
Most immigrants are here because the U.S. economic system, which is controlled by business, favors immigrant labor over employing domestic labor. All that drama about not enough skilled domestic labor...that's just an excuse for actively recruiting cheap labor from other countries. Business taking the U.S. labor market as idiots doesn't make it so.
No. See, the U.S. Government, the American people and science don't go very well together because the American people value actors and actresses above all others. The American people are more interested in appearance than substance and the U.S. Government reflects that.
How can any argument against nuclear power being used in space be valid considering that earth orbits a huge nuclear reactor? I mean, if there is anywhere in the universe where nuclear power could be used, wouldn't it be in space?
I read somewhere that the bio part of biodiesel is best grown as a kind of sea-weed. Formula for best yield was sea-water, sand and plenty of some kind of sea-weed.
Traditional crop farmers are trying to be self-sufficient in regards to power. E85.
I work in an automobile assembly plant to pay my bills. Working at a job that requires no thought has its advantages for sure. For example, you can think about whatever you want to think about but just as long as you do the same menial task over and over again everyday. You can day-dream or think about physics or, my favorite, find some encryption and discover its cipher.
20 years ago, I started out reading the newspaper during my free time at work. Then I got board with reading the same stuff but with different names and dates and moved on to playing a board game called traveler. I really liked the spacecraft construction module but working in a factory, on an assembly line, is not a good place to meet others who have the same interests so I quit doing that and moved on to reading books. That's when I fell in love with Math. Now I read books such as Space Mission Analysis and Design (Larson, 2005), Rocket Propulsion Elements (Biblarz, 2001), Space Propulsion Analysis and Design (Henry, 1995), Spacecraft System's Engineering (Wiley, 2003), Genome (Ridley, 1999) and quite a few other math heavy books. When one of them starts giving me a headache, I might get back on the computer and write some PHP script or maybe get with/. and see what all the fuss is over.
BTW, while I got your attention, what do you make of the following quote?
The material withstood the shock pressures generated by the impacts of up to 250 tons per square centimeter. This is approximately equivalent to dropping four diesel locomotives onto an area the size of one's fingernail (http://www.isracast.com/tech_news/091205_tech.htm )
Anyway; yes, for sure working outside research and development all together has its advantageous for anyone with an interest in using creative thought. As an outsider looking in, it appears that more effort goes into forming accountable group-thinkers than goes into the search for solutions. Research and Development has basically become just redevelopment of what has already been developed and if you expect a positive change in development then it is better to get away from managed thinking. I might suggest that being a free thinker is better than being a paid thinker but then no one really ever gets paid for having that much fun and that's the problem.
The instant the U.S. Government "blessed" the private sector with HTTP, the internet became a foreign body. A foreign body relative to the U.S. Government is any body besides itself. So, stop trying to make the U.S. Government responsible for all the email scams, spams and bad-will in the whole wide world and that will make a spy agency such as NSA/FBI/CIA very happy.
So it is very importaint[sic] to disband those false lines of reasoning, force people to re-examine their ability to think criticaly[sic] and basically expose the lies so that people can not use them as a basis for decision making at some point in the future.
Sure, use the internet to expose the lies but not the truth.
I think you need to be forced to re-examine your ability to think critically and basically expose the lies you use to base your internet decisions on. Start with these "facts":
Iraq declared war on the USA in 1991 when the US led coalition forces entered what had been Kuwait before Saddam's army conquered it. After the coalition forces retook Kuwait and the U.S military had driven the Iraqi military all the way back to Baghdad, the coalition forces got skeered and left Iraq and the U.S. at war with each other. At that time, Saddam threatened to use the WMD that he claimed the US had sold him in the 80's, some of which Saddam had used to clear out some "trespassers" that had occupied an oil-field that the French had an "interest in."
The U.S. military, not really wanting to mess with Baghdad - fighting an insurgency and all that, decided to call a cease-fire, redeploy to Saudi Arabia and enforce no-fly zones in Iraq. FYI, a cease-fire is like the pause button in a video game; it stops the game from advancement without quiting the game. Any critically thinking person should be able to understand that a cease-fire is the beginning of a quagmire war, but most say that the quagmire part of the war with Iraq started after Bush won the war against Iraq. The quagmire part of the war between Iraq and USA started when the US called a cease-fire - in 1991.
Another, "fact" that seems to slip people's critically challenged mind is that, in 1995, Saddam made some veiled threats against the US that aired on TV's all over the Arab world and then in 2001 (exactly ten years to the day after Saddam threatened the US military with WMD) Osama Bin Laden and his militant organization carried out Saddam's threat.
What's that I hear? A question from the back? Is there "proof" that Saddam commissioned Osama and by extension, Osama's group to carry out attacks against the U.S.? Aside from all the indirect proof like how Osama Bin Laden leads an Islamist army that the US once commissioned to fight the Russians in Afghanistan and of course Saddam's veiled threat against the US while in the middle of a war against the US, what would an English speaking person that cares more about what a politician is doing in his or her bed room consider "proof?" Some kind of document with all sorts of fancy looking squiggly lines on it? If you are at war with your neighbor, do you leave proof that you told your kids to egg your neighbors house?
Hey, I know! We should have just pulled out of the Middle East all together when Saddam threatened to use WMD. Look how well that strategy worked for Israel!
Seriously, the best way for the US to solve the type of violence in Iraq is to do what was done in Fallujah - evacuate and go house to house. The current way of solving the problem is far to vulnerable to sabotage and really can't work. Another even better possibility opens up if Iran and Israel actually go to war. Are you sure you want to use the internet to debate this subject?
P.S. Now that the US government still doesn't have control of the internet even after all these times the US government has ceded control of what it does not control; I am still not terrorized by the NSA.
I'd rather finally explain dark matter to people with a good chance of understanding the first time... or better yet, how Einstein was wrong. The effect of gravity does not travel at the same speed as light. It travels much faster than light. When mass changes into energy, the affect of gravity disappears instantly resulting in a very large bang much the same way thunder follows the lightning (sonic boom). A similar study would be to observe a lightning storm. The area of the atmosphere that is occupied by the energy of the lightning bolt becomes suddenly empty when the bolt dissipates. The air rushes into the vacuum and thunder is heard. Now imagine matter is converted into energy. An object's mass gives it gravity. No mass, no gravity. His imaginary sun disappearing proves nothing and while his explanation is plausible, it's only because there is no way to disprove it. This was the same reason people thought the Earth was flat for so long. Human comprehension of all reality is bound by the relative speed of light to human observation. For example, once a star traveling away from Earth surpasses the speed of light it becomes dark matter as far as humans are concerned. The old saying that one has no friends when one is driving 200 miles an hour comes too mind here. Anyway, in 100 years humans will have less faith and as a consequence will be more reasonable which in turn will make the human race of today look even more stupid than humans were 100 years ago. In short, the human race will live smarter and longer than ever.
P.S. the reason why Einstein was so consumed with trying to fit his theory of relativity with the rest and the reason why the string theory is having a hard time coming together is because Einstein was wrong (and he knew it) about gravity traveling at the same speed as light. We may not be able to see the light anymore but we still feel the gravity. So that's where all your missing matter in the universe went.
The only real terrorists left alive after 9-11 were the head of al queda and bin laden (he was the financier of the attack, not the movement leader) and these "warriors" haven't caught them after five years.
...and that's because him and his gang are well protected by an enemy that you don't see, understand, or are willing to face. These people are not motivated to kill just because U.S. soldiers are in the area. The religion is what motivates them. Have you been paying attention to everything or just one side?
If the people really cared about their fellow man, they would control their appetites (greed, procreation, etc.) so that they would not have to operate on a credit or welfare social system which steals from the worker to satisfy the bum.
Since most of the general public will not exercise restraint, there are only two alternatives to reduce the economic inductance of the system.
- Let the populace bludgeon each other to death in war, which will only result in a total destruction of the living earth.
- Take control of the world by the use of economic "silent weapons" in a form of "quiet warfare" and reduce the economic inductance of the world to a safe level by a process of benevolent slavery and genocide.
The latter option has been taken as the obviously better option. At this point it should be crystal clear to the reader why absolute secrecy about the silent weapons is necessary. The general public refuses to improve its own mentality and its faith in its fellow man. It has become a herd of proliferating barbarians, and, so to speak, a blight upon the face of the earth.
They do not care enough about economic science to learn why they have not been able to avoid war despite religious morality, and their religious or self-gratifying refusal to deal with earthly problems renders the solution of the earthly problem unreachable to them.
It is left to those few who are truly willing to think and survive as the fittest to survive, to solve the problem for themselves as the few who really care. Otherwise, exposure of the silent weapon would destroy our only hope of preserving the seed of the future true humanity...
The employees of a business will use the government to get what they want. If that means being suspicious of you because that somehow makes the business a profit (read: commission), then they are just making the rules up as they go.
After paying a few thousand to a lawyer then it's "Oh sorry, we were wrong about our interpretation of the law but there really should be a law against reducing our projected PROFITS."
As far as manufacturing goes, I don't honestly believe that anyone on/. is that concerned about it.
How could you know if anyone on/. is concerned about manufacturing?
BTW, I am reading and writing this from my workstation (in St Louis) while 3 feet behind me is an assembly line full of minivans moving at the rate of 1 per 47 seconds.
It's not worry about doing wrong. It's worry about wrong being done to self.
Not much a camera is going to do to keep another from acting wrong to self. I would have suggested death traps but that didn't go over very well the first time around.
Think of a scale between zero and 10. The average on a scale between zero and 10 is 5 (5 is right smack in the middle)so then ~50% of the scale is below average.
Don't feel bad. It took me.0003x5/.015 seconds to get the joke.
P.S. it must have been faked because i personally didn't see it happen.
When a photon (a piece of light) is destroyed, it divides into two parts - matter and its opposite. This opposite matter reacts opposite of matter in every way. For example, anti-gravity. It cannot be directly observed by us because we are looking for matter. Look for the opposite of matter and you will find your "dark" matter.
A successful entrepreneur friend once said that, when starting a business, one has to know whether you're doing it because you want to change the world in a good way, or because you want to make money. It's one or the other, not both.
Seems to me this friendly and successful entrepreneur was justifying doing bad to make money. Not always but people vote with money all the time.
Who is going to protect the US from the Department of Homeland security?
The department of homeland security consists of about 250 million owners and operators that collectively call themselves U.S. Citizens. To bad most of them don't know about openness.

Also, because that would be counter productive. If the sheeple were raised up to be smart, they would not be so easy to exploit.

I think it would go a long way in straightening out the mess that education is; possibly, farther than school vouchers.

Just goes to show how strong and liberal the teacher's union is. Bust the teacher's union and eduction itself will benefit. School vouchers...
There are less sheeple in the U.K. than in the U.S. simply because the population of the U.K. is smaller.
... at least they are doing something about it.
See that super-massive black-hole over there about 350 million light years away? I bet it gets bigger in 350 million years from now.
