Re: poll: should sputnick aka aristarchinexile be banned

Hello All, Every forum establishes parameters within which ideas or opinions are submitted and accepted. I have no doubt that with all the forums out there that thousands of individuals have been banned for one reason or another. Most of the forums state the same requirements for being a member in ...

Re: Should aristarchinexile be banded?

<<Bird banding (also known as bird ringing) is an aid to studying wild birds, by attaching a small individually numbered metal or plastic ring to their legs or wings, so that various aspects of the bird's life can be studied by the ability to re-find the same individual later. This can include migr...

Re: poll: should sputnick aka aristarchinexile be banned

Perhaps we should ban someone else, like Neufer, for his Shakespeare stuff (no, that's a bad idea, too, Neufer is the life of the Party and light in the darkness, but we could perhaps at least persuade him to get involved with modern American writers like Mark Twain?) Twain came in on a comet and w...

Science without Spirituality

A moderator has told me I must leave spirituality out of these discussions. As spirituality is spirit, and as science without spirit is a cold stone dead void, I think it's time I left the forum. I suggest to others on the forum who feel similar, and who (I am told by the moderator) have also been t...

I think it's a wild guess that whatever is causing the fluctuations is a planet.

So THEY can be nominated for the Nobel. It's MINE MINE MINE for discovering now x infinity = the Infinite Now as opposed to >t< the finite Now. I would like to nominate Astro for coming up with the >t< symbol which has been in use by mathematicians around the world for approximatley 24 hours now.

I was thinking a lot about these matters, and my spiritual readings suggest that it is because relativity is wrong in interpreting "now" as observer-based concept, and since relativity is wrong so must be BBT aka LCDM since it is based on relativity. The resulting vaccuum in science can b...
