Thank you for your input, Claude!

Chronos, thank you for your input on this topic. I believe I have a better grasp on the subject now. I also completely reject the notion of "intelligent design" and see no reason to place a god figure into the equation. But I like what you said. . . . "events are impossible to predict, but...

I am only interested in what is scientific.

Well, that's what I was getting at. To the layperson, a colliding galaxy would be incredibly chaotic. But if I am understanding you all, even in the apparent disorder, the physical laws STILL must be obeyed, . . . thus in time, the order will prove itself Also, to me, a star would appear...

Interesting. I am asking because I thought that the universe was pretty chaotic, but through that chaos, order can form, . . . again due to the force that makes [for example] snow flakes seem uniform. Reason why I am asking is because, on a christian forum, they say the universe is...

I'm not sure if this is the forum for this question. Anyway, I was wondering if the universe has orderly, chaotic, or has a measure of both? I see aspects of order when it comes to the nuclear force that tends to have order to it. However, I can't help but find the inner workings of a...

Well, . . . . not to offend anyone, . . . but I don't really equate professional sports with intelligence. :redface:

Ah yes. . . . . the "balance bracelet". One of the most ridiculous infomercials I have ever seen in my life. Completely fake and obviously paid actors that they "found on the street". It is the "Criss Angel" effect [in that he uses his own people as the "wow-ed street people"]. Making the...

It has been stated that as something approaches the speed of light, time slows down for that object. Since light photons are traveling at the speed of light, does that make them even older?

Yeah, that's how I was reading it, myself. The stories of "how it took away her pain in her shoulder when she started wearing it" seemed a lot like [as I said] the "snake oil saleman". The merchandise LOOKS nice, for someone who is interested in dark grey/black shiney beads, but if such...

I don't mean to resurrect a relatively dead thread, but just yesterday I came across a place that sells magnetic bracelets and speaks to their effectiveness. The stories told were impressive. . . . but I couldn't help think about how it sounded like the "snake oil" type thing. But if the...

As an update. . . I was watching the news a few days ago and they were mentioning that some airports send up weather balloons, and that the city I live in . . . does. That's what I saw. It was in the precise direction of the airport. Just thought you all would like to know.

Definitely those links address the second question. However, the first question is more important. Thanks.

I love watching documentaries on that which utilizes physics principles and since I lost my job, I have pondered the idea of going to get a second degree. A part of me thinks how great it would be to go into a physics type degree, but I know that means the highest level math would be required...

Good information. I have never seen one of these until that day. Quite exciting. :)
