| That is not physics. That's your private classification system. Everything we know about reality comes from a sequence. For example: 1. Propose a theory. 2. Set up an experiment. 3. Start the experiment. 4. Stop the experiment. 5. Analyze the results. 6. Modify the theory to describe or explain them... |

| Philologos has a point. Homeopathy is not competing with science, but with Catholicism. Catholics eat bread and drink wine that they claim has turned into the body and blood of Christ. That claim is a lie, of course, but it doesn't matter because they're not being veridical. Homeopathy is the same k... |

| I don't see what the controversy is. Autism is both a gift and a disability. And it's part of who you are. And Greg, you are not "trapped in autism". If you can talk, then you already have free speech. If you can't talk, you should be looking for a speech synthesizer. It sounds like what's... |

| I've been wondering about what happens when an event horizon is crossed, and this is what I came up with: All of space is filled with chaos, but inside an event horizon there is only perfection. It follows that inside an event horizon there is no space. But what is a region without space? There are ... |

| Claire333 wrote "But you would not notice it because you and your clock would keep right on ticking." No it wouldn't. I don't know where you got that video from, but the math is simple: The proper time between a point (0,0) and a point (t,x) is √(c²t²–x²)/c. The speed is x/t, and if that equal... |

| The laws of physics have many symmetries. Why? A physicist would say because symmetry is fundamental. But there's a better explanation: symmetry prevents us from learning too much about the inner workings of the universe. A universe without symmetry would already have been destroyed by the physics e... |

| I don't believe Jesus was divine or the son of God or anything like that, but it's just plain wrong to sling rumors instead of voicing honest opinions. We aspies should know better. I don't see how you can conclude Jesus was attracted to anyone. He said to Mary Magdalen "Go and sin no more". He said... |

| The human eye can be miraculous without being entirely miraculous. I've never understood why God being perfect is supposed to imply that He created things perfectly. If He did, where would the incentive be to worship Him only? By the way, double posting isn't necessarily deliberate. Sometimes posts ... |

| I'm not sure what you mean by the God "of" a book. (This is beside the fact that the Bible is actually two completely different books.) A book does not own God. More importantly, a hegemony does not own God. There seems to be a trend these days to think that God empowers hegemonies. That is not what... |
