Got it thanks

That's what I thought. Johnny's right. But this link was posted to explain bell's inequality. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the example but it says the odds are on Sally's side. See "Is this game fair to you?" heading at the following address: http://ilja-schmelzer.de/realism/game.php ...

Johnny and Sally sit at a table in their dining room. Sally tells Johnny to leave the room while she prepares a game. Sally randomly selects three cards from a regular deck of cards (half black, half red) and places them face down on the table. She yells at Johnny to reenter and tells him...

Thanks Jesse and James for the helpful explanations. I guess just a follow up thought on that: Lets say a star in open space was born 1 million years ago. So the radius of the stars light cone is the distance traveled by light in 1 million years? So all matter within this raduis will have...

Just wondering about the shape of a light cone. On the attachment below, if I were standing at A and pointed a flashlight in the positive time direction, it would form the cone show, correct? Is this cone a perfect cone? For instance, if I were standing on the north pole and pointed a...

didn't einstein call his cosmological constant his greatest mistake?

Just because an object is being pulled on by gravity doesn't mean it can't accelerate.

Basically it would have to reach the density of a massive star right before it collapses into a black hole?

Thanks i'll take a look. I just remembered reading somewhere that eventually the universe will stop expanding and recollapse. I'm not sure how a prediction like this may be made without knowing what is causing an accelerated expansion as of now and what force will hault this acceleration.

Thanks Dave.

Let's get back to the basics. What was the meaning of your original response to my first post? It sounded like you were saying there is a chance a baseball can travel FTL.

Your saying I did throw it and I didn't throw it. I don't understand. And since when can a baseball travel FTL? Do you have experimental proof?

What allows the universe to expand faster than the speed of light? What force will slow it down, causing it to start contracting on itself?

I have a baseball. I prepare to throw it. There is zero probablity that I throw it faster than the speed of light. Zero probablity event.

What else would it be comprised of? What makes you think this?
