IMHO we are looking at two possible scenarios, The first is that this is a disinformation campaign and the drone is a fake RQ-170, or at least one with certain components removed or altered, that the US intentionally flew it into Iran to send the Iranians on a wild goose chase. The second, and...
I keep seeing reports about how all the planets similar to Earth in other nearby planetary systems are now being discovered. Since we won't have the technology to send probes or go there ourselves for some time, all we can do is look at them. My question is: Could we ever get better resolution...
OK, so time isn't cyclic but it doesn't have a beginning or end? I wasn't really thinking of a causal loop in terms of time travel per se. Rather in my argument I'm basically trying to establish a eternalism, wherein time and space are treated as a four dimensional "block" (like J.M.E...
I'm writing a paper for a philosophy elective on the Cosmological argument. One of my counter arguments is that a causal loop (treated as a paradox in the Cosmological argument in favor of a creator) is not a paradox if time is cyclic in nature rather than linear. I treat the fact that the...
I'm not implying that geophysicists don't do physics, that's just silly, but there are areas of physics (astrophysics, particle physics, special and general relativity, etc.) which I doubt would be of much use to a geophysicist. Nevertheless might be required learning for someone getting a BS...
I am currently in my third year of my geology degree which I am enjoying but I love physics too. I don't really want to be strictly a geologist after I graduate, more like a geophysicist as I've taken an interest in seismology after narrowly surviving the 2011 Christchurch quake while in New...
