My first thought is that it's made of the same stuff we are. Processed more or less. It makes me wonder how much space is in me in that particular form. It feels good if I wave my hand thru it. Meditate, don't medicate.

It's like a chain letter I've always considered the financial system like a chain letter that can exist as long as everybody acts like it is a valid competent true system. Printing up money, selling stock by corporations, geez. Our country usually runs a deficit like every year like every...

When Clinton lied, it was funny Except for his wife. I’m not following the flow of this thread but just visiting the Physics Forum after a long separation and want to add my view of this topic. The real sadness is actually comparing a competent president Clinton (balanced budgets, shorter...

I have had more intelligent conversations in bars No one in a bar would seriously say I don't know about aluminum or new steel refinements unless they really drank too much. That is a pathetic statement. And by the way I have worked in steel mills and have had more intelligent conversations...

I bought a reel lawn mower today It is an old fashion kind without an engine. It is extremely light and easy to push because there is no heavy gas engine on it. But I have to admit, one of the reasons it is so light is that modern technology made some plastics for part of it. I'll probably get...

HI L, I didn't mean things haven't changed, I mean they haven't advanced, improved Sure farming uses trucks to transport tomato's, so what. A horse and buggy used to do that without polluting the ozone, maybe that would be an advancement if we started using horse and buggys again, it is all in...

I agree with the thread premise, we haven't advanced Sure there are little refinements like credit cards and computers envolving abit from TVs and phones. But nothing new or great. In 1973 my dad died of colon cancer and doctors said cancer would be cured within 10 years. Then in 1980's...

Like it was yesterday I've always felt that the coverup and denial by our government and the chemical companies was a war-crime it itself. A lot of birth defects and deaths should of been treated and studied but alas our government did yet another coverup. I remember in 1970, about 6am (still...

I should but I'm hesitant A 'sigmoidoscopy' doesn't check as far but can be done without drugs. A 'barium enema' x-ray can also be done without drugs but doesn't check as well. Same with a virtual-colonscopy although I haven't had one. I am hesitant about getting a colonoscopy because I tend...

first impression differences, temporarily cell shape is more flexible, less rigid, can't be taken apart and put back together as easily, most require constant power to survive, sometimes need computers help to survive although computers need cells help to survive. Interesting thoughts...

I think terrorists got what they wanted when Bush attacked a muslim country on phoney reasons. It got thousands of teenagers around the world hating the U.S. Instead of U.S. vs. terrorists, Bush is making this a regilion war, a muslim vs. U.S. war. I've been in a war and the idea that the...

Sort of, sure. I have limited free will when I chose to affect certain things, but many things I cannot alter at all, like saturn's gravity two centuries from now.

I quit eating animals 14 years ago to lower cholesterol levels at age 40. IT helped and didn't hurt my fighting ability, I still box and jujitsu for fitness. I quit dairy 2 years ago and starting eating fish about twice a week. Its a hassle getting protein without driving thru a easy fast food...

Possibility #1. Reason is not wrong. Possibility #2. Reason is right most of the time. Possibility #3. Reason is often wrong. etc. etc. etc.

I chose my orientation As a 53 yr old man I have dozens of sexual thoughts of women most days. Thats adds up to about 400,000 in my adult life. I have about 20 sexual thoughts about men a year. Thats less than 1000 in my life. I quickly dismiss these thoughts because in this society I don't...
