British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law is the best known and most widely cited. They were part of his ideas in his extensive writings about the future:
  • 1) When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

    2) The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

    3) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Magic.

A law which I think is quite wrong. Once a people is sufficiently advanced scientifically (as are we), no technology, no matter how advanced, will ever be interpreted as magic. It will simply be seen as technology that isn't understood.

But those are religious nuts. I'm talking about scientifically advanced people. We are a scientifically advance culture that has a certain number of poorly informed people who lack critical thinking skills. They may see ghosts, but that doesn't mean everyone does. (Some of them probably think smart phones are magic!)

Sadly true. But when I refer to a scientifically advanced or literate society, I increasingly mean parts of the world more advanced than the U.S. We're not exactly leading the way intellectually these days. Not scientifically, not socially.

Man, I wish they could actually do that. Since the Shroud of Turin has already been demonstrated to be a forgery produced much less than 2000 years ago, it would be hilarious to see their faces when they clone a pig or some flower or whatever the actual pigment source was!

The Pillars of Creation. The Jesus pillar at right.
X-RAY: NASA/CXC/INAF/M.GUARCELLO ET AL.; OPTICAL: NASA/STSCI
The Cone Nebula would be the Jesus nebula? Come on! Can't you see that the rightmost pillar of the Pillars of Creation is the Jesus nebula? Look at his profile, looking left. There's the forehead, the eyebrow, the nose, the open mouth, even the beard. And his arms are outstretched. In this particular image he's got a red X-ray blob right on his cheek, but that is probably just a pimple. Admittedly his hair at the top of his head is a bit messy.

The Apathetic Antikythera

Post by neufer » Sat Nov 16, 2019 8:58 pm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metonic_cycle wrote:
<<For astronomy and calendar studies, the Metonic cycle or Enneadecaeteris (from Ancient Greek: ἐννεακαιδεκαετηρίς (enneakaidekateris), "nineteen years") is a period of an almost exactly 19 years that is nearly a common multiple of the solar year and the synodic (lunar) month. The Greek astronomer Meton of Athens (fifth century BC) observed that a period of 19 years is almost exactly equal to 235 synodic months and, rounded to full days, counts 6,940 days. The difference between the two periods (of 19 solar years and 235 synodic months) is only a few hours, depending on the definition of the year. When Meton introduced the cycle around 432 BC, it was already known by Babylonian astronomers. A mechanical computation of the cycle is built into the Antikythera mechanism. The cycle was used in the Babylonian calendar, ancient Chinese calendar systems and the medieval computus (i.e., the calculation of the date of Easter). It regulates the 19-year cycle of intercalary months of the modern Hebrew calendar.>>

Thanks for speaking Swedish, Art! What a compliment! :D :clap:

And congrats, you too, on achieving purer and purer concentrations of gold. 16K! That's so well done!

Because your 16.000 posts don't make sixteen tons, do they? 'Course not, but it's a great song anyway! :D
