I'm a philosopher, and I dislike most other philosophers. I also don't like the academic discipline for the most part, I think a classical education would do. I've done more reading now than I ever did in school and it's all for enjoyment/knowledge. Philosophy is a tough thing to do well.

That's funny, but a more formal service I think could actually work. Feels like there are a lot of people drowning out there and as one of them I can say it would offer me some peace if I could come to some resolution on these ideas whether it be positive or negative. I didn't start researching...

@berkeman I've already gone to school, at this point I estimate it would take a couple of years at least to get to the point I need in order to do this myself (plus the badass math professor at my community college died, before the military I was majoring in math under his tutelage). Which from...

Well, I just wrote a bunch of stuff then deleted it when I got to the part where I was using analogy to make my point and came across an interesting idea. Is there anyplace I could pay someone who has the requisite knowledge of mathematics and physics to look at my idea and tell me any obvious...

I bet more companies would operate like this in general, and so would individual inventors if the patent system wasn't in place. But there would be guys like the man who invented this: The guy who invented this is a friend of a friend, and they always talk about how much money he's made from...

Was thinking about this the other day. Does anyone know if the patent process (edit: I meant in other countries) has any sort of use it or lose to clause to keep people from patenting stuff and just sitting on it? I don't know if I buy that it would inhibit creativity if the patent process...

Do you guys have any recommendations for a forum where it's a little more flexible? I mean I'm definitely not looking to get into arguments with people who learned everything from What the Bleep but I also would like to be able to find some help or discussion that doesn't need to take place...

Yeah don't worry I won't be straying from the paradigm again anytime soon.

Well, after doing my morning errands I'm still annoyed but less so. It took me like 3 hours to write and edit that post trying to be as respectful as possible to the forum rules only to have to have to summarily deleted. I will live.

Well, it got deleted as soon as an admin woke up. This is what I figured what was going to happen. Not that I blame you guys, as far as I know I didn't break any of the forum rules except the "non-mainstream theories" hence why I posted this asking before I even posted it. The premises are all...

So, I'm not here to peddle my pet theories. I came here for the community because my knowledge is, and always will be incomplete. I have a question, maybe multiple questions about whether or not this proof I'm thinking about will work. Basically if the hypothesis matches up with reality then I...

Thanks guys, very helpful. Asking accurate questions is very helpful, and I know sometimes I do not ask accurate questions. Plus it doesn't help that I am usually a mess of terminology but I generally know what I mean by something. Thanks again.

From the description of the atomic clock used in the H-K experiment it wasn't clear to me whether the cesium clock uses the same metronomic principle as the light clock. Thank you for the welcome. I definitely appreciated how easy the light clock concept was to understand, and why movement...

Hi, I went ahead and read through all the similar discussions and none are on this particular topic so I'll go ahead and shoot. I did find this topic as well, but my question is pretty simple. I think I understand how time dilation works, I read through the explanation here, this jives with the...
