A sad story but are there not stories such as 'tried to kill myself, that was my turning point, now regret that I let myself reach that low point in m...

Are those really the only options you consider? Is there no way to live as a sane person?
May 24, 2022 at 09:04
Belief has an incline towards 'convinced.' I know many theists who are not convinced god exists but have taken Pascal's wager or are too scared of the...

I think there are only two significant points that remain between us on the issue of your physics, your rationale and your dalliances with polytheism....
May 24, 2022 at 07:36
This is too simplistic, reality is more nuanced than this quote suggests imo. As I copied and pasted the text you typed in your past, I brought the te...

A photon is an energy packet, not a billiard ball, of course, it can be absorbed. What's happening in photosynthesis if energy cant be absorbed? Oh I ...
May 23, 2022 at 18:58
Your point here is moot as I am not challenging your physics with mine, I am challenging your physics with what other physicists say.
May 23, 2022 at 12:19
I was just trying to be as ridiculous as you were being. You implied that I envisaged an electron as being stuffed with photons. I tried to explain to...
May 23, 2022 at 12:17
You are misquoting me, I stated that I remain conflicted between the two goals of 'punishment' and 'rehabilitation.' I think getting the balance corre...
May 23, 2022 at 12:13
Well, I was just suggesting that if we all just accept that everything in the Universe is 'stuffed' with some combination from earth, air, fire and wa...

All such monkeys are too busy trying to type out the full works of Shakespeare!
May 23, 2022 at 11:38
Woowoo to you too! do you like old steam train whistles?
May 23, 2022 at 11:37
Good examples of theistic hypocrisy!
May 23, 2022 at 11:36
Yeah, :roll: thats what I am suggesting, in the same way I suggested a flame is stuffed with smoke and phosphorus is stuffed with fire! Just like the ...
May 23, 2022 at 11:33
Or else they were just fed up answering questions that they consider are more at the level of 'crank physics,' like the idea that energy levels cannot...
May 23, 2022 at 11:29
We see again the importance of accuracy! I said is smoke inside the flame, not the fire. Is fire inside phosphorus or is it a reaction to oxygen? Phot...
May 23, 2022 at 11:26
Unlike you, I do not consider my imagination a reliable source of truth! I do mind someone who wants to claim they know the physics of the origin of t...
May 23, 2022 at 11:20
Fire produces smoke, does the smoke exist inside the flame?
May 23, 2022 at 11:15
I understand that most physicists disagree with you. I know that, as none of the names you mentioned such as Penrose, Rovelli, et al propose anything ...
May 23, 2022 at 11:14
I did not bring gods alongside physics, you did! You invented them and you try to convince others they exist, just like you are trying to convince oth...

From quora: It happens as follows : Photons from the Sun strike your skin . In this process, they may collide with the electron . The electron gains e...
May 23, 2022 at 11:05
What happens when an infrared photon from the sun hits your skin? Does your skin absorb the photon as heat energy?
May 23, 2022 at 11:01
I try not to dissappoint! Or in other words 'that which is much more credible and more likely to be correct.' People in glass houses should not throw ...
May 23, 2022 at 10:58
I think they have succeeded very well. I looked at your link. You merely provided your answer to the question: Is string theory only the stuff of spec...
May 23, 2022 at 10:43
Again, just to try again, to encourage you to be more accurate! I actually asked 'is all of space one big field of excitations?' :razz:
May 23, 2022 at 10:25
Two people and a nice note from Harari is not 'many.' There are levels of laypeople. I am not a physicist. I got an A at higher grade but failed the p...
May 23, 2022 at 10:21
This can be problematic in a 'one system fits all' justice system. If you kill then the system will kill you. What if a person considered their family...
May 23, 2022 at 10:05
You have a strange sense of humour and I think your viewpoints on a balanced human system of justice is more driven by revenge than it is by rehabilit...
May 23, 2022 at 09:57
I think many physicists can shoot so many holes in your above arguments that there is little left of any value.
May 23, 2022 at 09:47
:rofl: Yeah, in history, theists have treated animals very well, in-between sacrificing them and looking at their entrails to figure out what your god...
May 23, 2022 at 09:44
No, at this point, I don't know what on mass-shell means but from wiki: In physics, particularly in quantum field theory, configurations of a physical...
May 23, 2022 at 09:36
I know, we have descriptions such as: In quantum physics, a quantum fluctuation (also known as a vacuum state fluctuation or vacuum fluctuation) is th...

All that you are influences all that you do and say! You will not escape that, ever!
May 23, 2022 at 08:57
Capital punishment by lethal injection does not fit the kind of deterrent punishments suggested by @"SpaceDweller". My dialogue was about his suggesti...

May 23, 2022 at 08:45
That's so annoying to me! I proofread twice and that still got past me (now corrected!) I accept that many 'experts' assign a form of 'existence' to v...
May 23, 2022 at 08:44
Flowers of death are all the human race will have to offer each other if our justice system becomes one that desires vengeance based on competitive ev...
May 23, 2022 at 08:27
Yeah, that's what I figured you would say! :flower: :death: We can always say 'sure' to you, 'we will release you in time.' :halo:
May 23, 2022 at 08:17
Your use of the term 'parroting' is a rather simplistic and unsuccessful attempt to dissuade people from listening to experts. A sinister but easily d...
May 23, 2022 at 08:11
You can always volunteer to be the first to try out the punishment! I certainly wont volunteer. It's always nice to hear a logical voice of reason and...
May 23, 2022 at 07:42
Is this not just some humans trying to be more brutal or evil towards those who have committed the most evil acts? The way to stop someone from being ...
May 22, 2022 at 18:56
I thought I may as well ask you about this one as well. Are you suggesting that if I was an evil deranged serial killer in the house of my next intend...
May 22, 2022 at 12:53
Thank goodness for drops in temperature or life would just be too hot to live. I love the winter, (snow, snowballs, wearing thick warm clothing, its g...
May 22, 2022 at 12:46
Could evil exist as a quantum field or as a consequence of subatomic interactions or as opposite magnetic poles such as positive and negative attracti...
May 22, 2022 at 12:34
So human laws that deal with human evils which have been labeled as such by other humans. So do you agree that evil does not exist as a fundamental fo...
May 22, 2022 at 10:52
Exactamundo! Try getting @"hillary" to appreciate all that science has done for him :roll: He is an ungrateful little tyke of a polytheist! :rofl:
May 22, 2022 at 10:27
:roll: Are we back to your electrons (evil as negatively charged), antielectrons or positrons (good as positively charged) Does the fact that its the ...
May 22, 2022 at 10:24
Oh I don't know so much! If I knew for sure a nuclear war was coming I would try to stand right where the ICBM lands. Very quick death! Much nicer tha...
May 22, 2022 at 10:06
But the question is does it exist as a 'force of evil,' outwith the human condition or/and outside of the sentient experiences of any lifeform?
May 22, 2022 at 10:02
War is caused by humans but so is peace and nature invokes science through the human tendency to ask qustions. In the film Spartacus with Kirk Douglas...
