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...

Re: poll: should sputnick aka aristarchinexile be banned
so, should we ban him, or give him yet another warning? I count chris vote +1 , and mark vote -1 , the rest of you please post (for some reason real polls are disabled in the forum). I don't vote one way or the other. I was just questioning the process by which he re-emerged under a new identity. 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...

if your hole had a vacuum in it, you'd jump in one side and come to a brief stop exactly at the surface on the other side, and this would repeat forever. Forever is a long time. How can what you describe happen without mass expending energy? It seems to be energy would have to be created to reach t...

Re: Planet as large as its star
I think it's a wild guess that whatever is causing the fluctuations is a planet.
"Hey, that star is fluctuating!"
"Maybe it has gas."

All well and good, except for the fact (acknowledged by NASA websites) that then amateur astronomer Steven O'Meara observed the "dark radial features" in Saturn's rings and sketched them in 1977. His observations were widely discounted until the Voyager spacecraft produced photographic ev...

Re: Why APOD editors change my topic and credits
'NOW' must have a mathematical symbol because NOW is a pysical reality .. if it is not included in equations math will continue to add up to "maybe".

Why APOD editors change my topic and credits
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.

Re: Why free falling stones don't have a symbol for '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...
