    Conversation about defensive behaviour?

    From my experience, I now approach conversations with a gentle, but blunt attitude. That is because, like many others have posted here, you will never be able to understand the inner workings of other people. However, you do know how you feel (to a certain degree), and generally what is causing...

    Music Musical Chills: Do You Experience Them?

    Got lots of musical chills as well, though not so much now. But yes, there's other fields where you can get the good-feel chill as well!

    Is it plausible to do theoretical research while working?

    There's a huge gap between bachelors and PhD. I found that once I got into graduate level research, I was literally in a swamp or if I wanted to catch up to the "latest and greatest" it was tough to do so even spending plenty of time on the topic. Like the previous posts, there is indeed a huge...

    Solving an Impossible Problem - Frictionless Train Car??

    Oh right, completely forgot about the water being pushed from the left end of the train. I guess that means that the train just doesn't move?

    Hobby Electronics Projects: Essential Equipment and Costs for Beginners

    I was just thinking that if you didn't have cash and wanted to try an oscilloscope, those cheap 30$ ones might come in handy. But, I never really tried one out myself (bought a 300$ analog oscilloscope a while back and that's when I stumbled on usb oscilloscopes). Topher925 kindly remarked that...

    Uranus’ atmosphere – creative help

    Looks great. If there was some sort of 3D planet exploring simulation that has graphics like what you just drawn, I would totally buy it.

    Reason Behind Structure of Equations

    I also wondered about these relationships and tried to imagine/make sense of it all. But then again, you guys could be right in that humans are inherently unable to make sense of it without math. I mean, I can sort of understand mass*velocity is momentum, but once you get into velocity...

    Questions About Time Before the Big Bang

    Time and energy are interrelated IMO. Time exists if energy exists, but it would be hard to say that time existed in complete emptiness.

    The Life You Can Save: Peter Singer's Practical Ethics

    A very complicated question. I've skipped over the entire thread, as there is too many posts to read, so I hope I am not repeating another person's argument. I present hypothetical scenario where we only worried about the essentials. This might be good given the society we live in, but after...

    Hobby Electronics Projects: Essential Equipment and Costs for Beginners

    Equipments that you will probably want: Wire cutter, multimeter, soldering iron/solder, oscilloscope (you can get those cheap ones where you plug it into the computer), electrical tape, needle nose pliers. You probably don't need an oscilloscope yet for some basic projects, but will probably...

    Solving an Impossible Problem - Frictionless Train Car??

    Not sure if this helps/I will play the devil's advocate here, but I'm imagining that the train would actually be moving to the right. Given a stationary tank on frictionless rails, if you imagine the water flow from within the tank you will see that it flows to the right and down. The water...

    Does Time Truly Exist or Is It Merely a Human Construct?

    Actually, sorry. It was highly rude of me for posting my previous post. If we were to percieve time in a different manner, then I would only think that our brain will "simulate" time in a different manner as well.

    Does Time Truly Exist or Is It Merely a Human Construct?

    I am hoping I do not have to define "perception" as well. I do hope that people are understanding on where I am getting at with my question.

    Does Time Truly Exist or Is It Merely a Human Construct?

    So you agree that it is probable that we do not percieve a second in a simular manner? But since the argument has been switched back to the original... I am losing your argument now. Are you saying that time is one thing happening after another?

    Does Time Truly Exist or Is It Merely a Human Construct?

    Okay. Would a second be the same for me as it is to another?
