re hi Hellfire: fristly I think I better say a bit more -in the least what's confusing me the question in my veiw, is what is or what accounts for a geometery!? I personally don't see how a geomeretry can be deviod of all, even surfaces are something, and i dare say surfaces are constructed...

Hi all, I have a question according to Vilenkin's proposal using GR one borrows the notion that geomerty is not fixed can be distorted, he then goes on to argue that one of the sets or distortions of geomerty is empty thus no geomerty (absolute nothingness) is that truly possible? I thought...

It seems to me, not that i have read the thread totally, that at the beg of this thread. Time is cusality, need it be so? currently and i ask the physics mind people hear help me out or correct me if need be, time is defined to be the lenghts between points (however certian elements need to...

can these things go together, for me - how can one have free will without excerising the abliity to use there will in actions, that not to say that all actions thus are a result of ones will, for example other peoples might interfere, or even other events, but there seems that on some level and...

Ok Drchinese and nightlight you too seem to know lots, so if you don't mind I am going to take lessons from you, while I do know bits and peices of QM and EPR, I don't claim to be an expert, my maths is awful so please try to aviod or help me around it, and my degree is in chemistry so i might...

This could be rubbish but let's play around with something here: I amssume you mean the following...unless you meant the thing before. "this form of logic captures the statement, "the universe is not just black and white" although one can just view it as white and various degredations of...

re and of course dilithuim does not exist - crystals however if i remmber in theory dlithuim either exists in theory or we have found it or at last in theory there is not reason why it should not exist in the gas phase... i think to do with molecular obital theory? o been so long

You see here is the problem I have with the EPR, and that is the universe does not need to be local (from what I read). In the many-worlds, interpration... the bell experiement and its variants I assume, there will appear of form the prespective of the obervers that the EPR is real, but...

not quite true, while electrons are Fermions, (Pauli exclusion principle. ) At low temperatures, bosons CAN behave differently than fermions because an unlimited number of them can collect into the same energy state. known as condesation pairs of electrons on the other hand can act like...

thunderfvck we all due respect, you come across has if you seem to have been correct, or that ones aim was tp prove you wrong... your wrong on both accounts.

very boardly speaking Inteligence is defined has ones ability to adapt to new seneros... ITS NOT, what you KNOW! of course Inteligence comes in many forms, and with that many ways of testing so even the best IQ tests, should be treated with a pitch of salt.

what bits don't you "understand"? Russ, I don't think that all mirco-evolutionist (creationists) hold that all creatures were created at the same time, to these people all it means is that God created one species then anther etc, and most reject the notion that one species changes into...

RE: monique I know been a while, sorry "I've done the calculation before myself...it does indeed appear that Adam was born/created in 4026 BCE (see All Scripture is Inspired of God and beneficial, published by Jehovah's Witnesses if you want to see exactly what proofs there are for this)...

this sounds like "we" homo sapien sapiens had inteligence first, this is an error. also other apes and even primates in some ways have greater inteligence of sorts than humans. for example there memory span for remmbering squences of flashing lights is on averge better than ours.

Has suggested by I fellow postee, talk origns is an excllent resource geared for all readers from very different backgounds! was once part of the newsgroup learned a lot. also some good books of evolution, by "biologists": are: the self gene By Richard Dawkins personaly I don't...
