I think I understand what Snoopy is getting at. I am well on my way to getting my Physics degree now and as much as I love theoretical physics, when it came right down to it, I found no good practical use for it. So, I decided to focus on the practical applications and decided that Nuclear power pla...

I know exactly what you mean Spidey.

EDIT: I guess what does it for me is going back to the very beginning. An explosion of pure energy that over time assimilates itself into a living, breathing ecosystem. There's too many examples to delve into.

Actually, the theory of evolution is a scientific approach to the knowledge of our Creator :) Therefore, even the name of the topic of discussion here can be called incorrect. Exactly, and it irks me to no end that the 2 have been made to oppose each other. It's all about mechanics to me, seeing in...

Well, the DNA itself does not change, only what parts are expressed. For instance, they found dormant sections of DNA to be activated in space and vice-versa for active sections. They have even said that 97% of DNA is "junk", just there taking up space. I myself say the code is written in ...

I believe in Evolution but not in the sense as it's given. I think the very main catalyst for Evolution is atmospheric then "everything" evolves or expires within the conditions set by that atmospheric change. So, if we ever do physically observe Evolution, it will be something that happen...

Man, I miss the 70's. Back before all this wonderful technology, people used to go to their grandparents every weekend and have huge dinners with all your aunts, uncles and cousins. People would drink iced tea outside in chairs under nice big shade trees and tell clever and interesting stories to ea...

Since were finding quotes: “Let me give you an example, the kind of money we’ve poured in,” he said. “So the most dangerous — sorry, the safest city in America is El Paso, Texas. It happens to be across the border from the most dangerous city in the Americas, which is Juarez. Right?” “And two of the...

how does one become a multi-millionaire on a govt salary.

Ask Harry Reid!

You know, if the jeweler had spent time training himself with his weapon that would not have happened. A safety makes good sense as does keeping a round in the pipe. Anyone that is going to carry should holster and fire their weapon repeatedly until it becomes second nature. 99% of the time the safe...

Our current environment does not produce long-term thinkers. "The Government" is made up of your peers and neighbors. How can we hold them and therefore the "Government" to a high standard we do not hold ourselves too. The Government is not the problem, it is the consequence.

The Russian Oligarchs, or Oligarchs in general are very clever, although I myself don't see how they pull it off. They have given the Russian people a common enemy to vent their frustrations on.

You know, if you go back and study history from the end of WW2 till today, there has really been the proliferation of 2 main ideals. Communism and forms of democracy. One based on rule by the State and one based one rule by a majority. Anybody who thinks that just magically ended in the late 80's an...

You really are ridiculous Ferno, I know you don't realize that, but you are.

Therein lies the problem. Transference. Just because it applies to you does not mean it applies to everyone.

Bigotry is taught by the parents Again, this is something someone told you which you have no personal experience with or children of your own. My youngest son was never taught anything but that all men were created in the image of God. Yet, at this moment he chooses to be an atheist and dislikes bl...

I can concede most of that, but that also has a great deal to do with where you live. Of course, out here where I live there was little to no threat, but in some of the more congested cities it was viable. I don't think Will's a racist. I surely am not, in fact, I actively break down barriers on a p...

There were riots over Rodney King, there were riots over Trayvon. Now, I'm not sure if there would have been actual riots over Obama not being elected or not but there surely would have been dejection. What's absurd about you guys is how you make personal attacks without ever acknowledging the possi...

Woodchip, dangit, that is not what they said. Don't make me have to kill you.

Hehe, Foil must feel honored to be named among the heavyweights!

Lol! To me it looks like the fascination with Obama goes to the extreme's on both sides! EDIT: I only say this because the threat of Russian and Chinese dominance is growing and now becoming evident even in the mainstream media but I know this thread is gonna be about the love/hate relationship of O...

Maybe so Slick, even though I have read that had the Senator from Nevada encouraged it, he would probably have gotten great consensus to turn a great portion over to the State of Nevada. Instead he uses it for his own personal investments and runs roughshod over his own constituents to do so. His gr...

First off, I'm not here to defend Bundy although I do think the issue is much larger than him. I also am not talking about that particular piece of land, except as to how it benefits Reid in some of his business dealings. 85% of Nevada is owned by the Federal Government and Harry Reid has been in of...

flip

Harry Reid is slick. Now, instead of everyone discussing if he stands to benefit personally from these land grabs we are discussing 'domestic terrorists.' All the while he has been so-called representing his state by signing off large portions of it to Federal ownership, his bank account is blooming...

Now, not that I really know what the push is, but considering waveforms can be depicted by the unique shapes each one creates AND acoustic levitation, it seems worth investigating I think there is something to it, but my thoughts are nowhere near organized to satisfy childish challenges.

Well, He is giving us the brain that we choose.

Edit: But He gets to choose too

You know Ferno, one of the things I enjoyed the most was the brainstorming sessions. Take that picture for instance of using sound waves to cause the water to levitate. I like working within a body. It's more fun that way and you get to feed off each other, which is how it is supposed to be. I guess...

I understand it fully too, because most of my early school years until we moved to the kudzu I was in Target and Enrichment classes. We were given curriculum and then asked what we thought. Not multiple choice questions and answers but were taught critical thinking skills. Yet, because of an abusive...

Ok it's obvious the guy is no scholar, but I think what he was trying to do was compare different types of slavery. The slavery of forced labor and becoming someone's property or the slavery of being given bare subsistence with no real prospects. Both types look at that race as a people without much...

And just to set the record straight, I do not mean to say acoustics in the strictest sense of the word but to take the concept and transfer it over to the interaction between gravity and electromagnetic waves on a cosmic scale. I've learned that playfulness with words is a big no-no here! EDIT: LOL!...

Well, I definitely do not know how the physical and meta-physical were conjoined, but I do believe that our choices can determine which parts of a gene are activated or put to sleep and this is done through chemicals and then that activated portion of the gene is also inheritable but with the abilit...

flip

Well, my point is that gravity can obviously be overcome by acoustics. I didn't mean it in the absolute sense either. It's hard to conceptualize physics anyways and with this crowd I try to cater to the lowest-common denominator, because more than likely acoustics do play a role in helping our Unive...

flip

Although, If I was gonna define them ;), it would be anti-graviton acoustics. EDIT: In fact, As Spidey pointed out in another thread, there has to be a counter-part, even to gravity. A pull and a push. Now, not that I really know what the push is, but considering waveforms can be depicted by the uni...
