universeness

We need to get the balance correct. Let politicians act like everyday humans who dance when they are happy without having to be in a formal ballroom s...

Further info on HeLa cells is that they are basically telomeres. The text below is from https://www.genome.gov/genetics-glossary/Telomere: A telomere ...

Thank you.

A line of research currently being looked at is HeLa Cells. From Wiki: HeLa is an immortal cell line used in scientific research. It is the oldest and...

Well, I was not suggesting that as I can see how that would be a lot of work but how often do threads get moved to the lounge? Surely the member could...

Is this a shard of light peeking through to indicate that in the future, as a courtesy, a member will be informed if their post gets moved to the loun...

Or we could insist that all medical care is free from cradle to grave for everyone in every country.

I would add to your questions with others such as: Why does the Vatican not help Ulyana and her like? They are one of or perhaps even thee richest org...

Welcome to the 'thread moved to the lounge category, with no notification,' club. I am also a member.

:lol: Despite your humility and insistence that you have limited knowledge of the world, you still keep adding to my vocabulary. I was not familiar wi...

I wanted to pull this sentence out separately and 'complain' about its 'intent' connotation. 'Nature' is often 'objectified' in the sense that some pe...

I think we all know too little about such horrific events. Based on a quick google search: ‘Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.’ T...

The problems are still many and so deeply embeded within global sociopolitical systems and cultural/religious traditions. BUT, we can do better becaus...

The British were quite happy to see the religious groups slaughter each other. The British soldiers stood by and watched as it went on because they we...

I am not as concerned about private ownership of property, nor am I concerned about 'small capitalism.' People must have quality housing as a human ri...

Yep, I am sure you would agree Javi, that the human condition would deserve the accusation of 'life sucks!' less, if everyone could personally stop be...

Sorry Athena, this is clumsy on my part. I wanted to clarify a little. During the partition of India, Hindus and Sikhs attacked Muslims and Muslims at...

I am unaware of cases where hindus attacked Sikhs during partition, they attacked muslims. There is an enormous amount of material on-line regarding t...

The up and down labels assigned to quarks are quite arbitrary. Perhaps this repetition will help you!

Yes, Hindus are the third largest religion in the world (estimated at 1.2 billion). I assume the Hindu gods favour Hindus. Hindus have killed muslims ...

Sounds quite arbitrary to me! what has isospin got to do with the dimension up/down? From wiki: In nuclear physics and particle physics, isospin is a ...

No lecture involved, just discussion, do you have a lot of physics quals?

That's interesting, do TPF philosophers genuinely experience a sense of loss? So what is humanism to the TPF philosopher?

A neutron is not fundamental, it is made up of two down quarks with charge ? 1?3 e and one up quark with charge + 2?3 e . Like protons, the quarks of ...

No, a process is involved but that process is also 'of the universe,' nothing external to the universe is involved. The question becomes 'is the unive...

They could all be loser's ie, a rollover!

My physics is limited as well but from my reading there is 'no particular reason' for the names given to the various quark types. Up and down has noth...

That's normally the case with nonexistents.

Down quarks can change into up quarks and back to down quarks.

Empirical evidence/proof. Proof that remains irrefutable in all past/current and future scenario's is impossible, therefore omniscience is impossible ...

Well 'humility' is certainly big in Eastern cultures as far as I can tell, lots of traditional bowing and honour concepts, regardless of truth and han...

By logical implication, yes.

As Homer Simpson often exclaims! DOH! I just noticed why I was not informed in 'mentions,' you had no 'reply' link in your post. Mystery solved! or th...

Sorry for the late reply to this, again, nothing appeared in my 'mentions' section to indicate your posting here. I have the physical and mental scars...

In reading your post overall, it seems to me you are trying to explain/analyse/appreciate why early humans were so attracted to theism. I understand, ...

:lol: , Well, when you put it as pleasantly and fairly as that, it's hard to complain. Perhaps you would make a good moderator here, with the experien...

You complaining about those who complain is equally tiresome!

:lol: :clap: Aw come on, post just one wee pic of you in full dramatic queen/king mode! Perhaps you would even give the anti-lifers their first-ever g...

Have protests never made governments uturn? Have protests, civil disobedience, revolution, never brought down governments? Were all past protests in h...

Don't be such a carpet! We don't all fold like paper when we think there is imbalance and the treatment of others is somewhat asymmetric. https://yout...

Neither are saints. They will never and have never went marchin in. Saint is one of the most ridiculous titles ever invented imo. Probably a separate ...

Typed in full drama mode? Are you dressed accordingly?

Thank you my son!

To paraphrase an old song. 'Never promised you a rose garden, along with the sunshine, there has to be a little rain sometimes.'

Right back at you! What a great handle for an aggressive moderator! BANno!

At the risk of demonstrating the folly of employing imagery of the type that jgill is correctly pointing out with: I 'imagine' measuring at the sub-at...

Interesting.......

A lot of information about the etymology/origin of terms only goes back so far. There are also 'urban myth,' style claims which I have always found in...

Well, it's what socialism/humanism is about and neither of those labels have any value without democracy. Sounds better than some dictatorship of a pr...

New politics are badly needed everywhere. The old parties like the republicans and democrats in the USA and the tories, labour and lib dems in Britain...
