Right back at ya! except, I would suggest you try to be more open-minded and not so convinced that your musings are correct just because they came fro...
May 17, 2022 at 08:33
That's like asking how can an ocean absorb a raindrop! Because the ocean is made of water! The photon's energy is absorbed and is added back into the ...

Follow-up time is very important when others offer to assist you. Especially when your credibility is already compromised Mr roleplaying athiest.
May 17, 2022 at 07:37
A thousand times??? We have never exchanged regarding photon absorption! It's all over physics sites and in any physics textbooks. Your viewpoint is t...
May 17, 2022 at 07:34
Plausible yes but I don't see why I had to be online at the moment you send a PM with a physics question. I would have noticed the PM as soon as I cam...
May 17, 2022 at 07:30
Of course we were :roll: Anyway, I like to give people a little rope. Let's see!
May 17, 2022 at 07:22
How can a photon be absorbed then? A few internet quotes: Photons get absorbed by the EM fields surrounding the molecules of the material of whatever ...
May 17, 2022 at 07:17
So, I haven't received any of these burning physics questions you claim you have that physicists have so far refused to answer. I don't understand you...
May 17, 2022 at 07:07
:rofl: Yeah, hopefully @"hillary" will PM me some of the physics questions he claims physicists won't answer. Sorry for hijacking your OP a little!
May 16, 2022 at 14:58
ok :smile:
May 16, 2022 at 14:45
Yes it is. You can PM a physics question to me or just post it here, that you want answered on quora. I will post it on quora as a 'question asked by ...
May 16, 2022 at 14:37
No, I am a fan of all current cosmologists, mostly equally. I am a great admirer of many scientists also, past and present.
May 16, 2022 at 14:28
So the conclusion is that those who moderate the forums you mention consider you a crank, based on the physics evidence you propose/offer?
May 16, 2022 at 14:26
So a page a day, how many pages in your paper/book? It should be easy to predict a finished date. Then we can find out how many physicists our there c...
May 16, 2022 at 14:24
Hah! Whose projecting who? you have just projected 'fan' to 'great idol.' You should be busy forming questions for all those physicists on quora inste...
May 16, 2022 at 14:21
No, you misunderstand. I mean I don't get your complaint against Sean Carroll. He does answer questions people send in and he does answer questions th...
May 16, 2022 at 14:04
I know that's how you see it but you are not in a pub with a group of knuckle-dragging male stereotypes. You are on a moderated public forum and the m...
May 16, 2022 at 12:46
Save it for the shoutbox, you may get banned otherwise! :naughty:
May 16, 2022 at 12:16
Do you mean 'in response to' the April mindscape podcast?
May 16, 2022 at 12:15
I am serious about future transhumanism. Genitalia will be involved for sure.
May 16, 2022 at 12:12
About what?
May 16, 2022 at 12:10
You should discuss your particular needs with the developers. Maybe you need to direct some of your questions towards a person like Elon Musk rather t...
May 16, 2022 at 12:10
depends on the functionality and improvements offered. Perhaps a bisexual will require different options to a heterosexual!
May 16, 2022 at 12:02
:rofl: I firgive you too! A man should not have to give up his pink, nor a woman for that matter. Some circumcised men dont even protect their pink ve...
May 16, 2022 at 11:57
:rofl: To paraphrase some theistic BS 'Forgive him father he knows not what he types!' What a difference a 'y' makes!
May 16, 2022 at 11:53
That reminds me: https://youtu.be/s1ysoohV_zA
May 16, 2022 at 11:47
I endorse human imagination but we must distinguish the very useful, important aspects of human imagination that drive our pursuit of new knowledge an...
May 16, 2022 at 11:43
There are many others on the forum other that me and @"hillary" You can still exchange with them if you prefer.
May 16, 2022 at 11:39
No, some will happily give up their current pinky for an upgrade that will offer much more functionality and longevity. Hanging a very heavy weight fr...
May 16, 2022 at 11:37
You have introduced some woo woo yourself. Sometimes woo woo thinking must be dealt with within any exchange of opinions on a particular topic. The to...
May 16, 2022 at 11:32
Those with the bionic pinky may overthrow the puny humans with no bionic pinky. In the world of the blind, the one-eyed man can become king!
May 16, 2022 at 11:28
What you think accurately describes me is based on your own subjectivity. :rofl: You are full of assumptions arent you!
May 16, 2022 at 11:26
So a future transhuman will be just someone with machine parts and organic parts. Just someone with a pacemaker.
May 16, 2022 at 11:22
Ok, that makes more sense than the idea that you kissed a strange man in the mouth and assumed he would be ok with that.
May 16, 2022 at 11:21
Someone with a pacemaker, for example, is completely reliant on this technology for the continuation of their life. That is a prototype transhuman imo...
May 16, 2022 at 11:19
There are many fringe 'scientists,' who can find evidence for anything you like, even gods
May 16, 2022 at 11:16
Well it did happen here: https://youtu.be/pHCdS7O248g
May 16, 2022 at 11:09
We already have prototranshumans. The rapture has never and will never happen.
May 16, 2022 at 11:04
My bipolar friend David used to make such sounds. I miss him. Look after yourself, ITS IMPORTANT!
May 16, 2022 at 11:03
:rofl: :lol: :rofl: Surely you hear the growing throng of laughter towards such BS. I take it you feel you deserve no better and that you will be vind...
May 16, 2022 at 11:00
:rofl: No offence, but this sounds like something the 'rapture' theists would approve of. Pure woo woo.
May 16, 2022 at 10:56
Why not?
May 16, 2022 at 10:54
Your first cause had a Mother?? :rofl:
May 16, 2022 at 10:51
Well, could have been worse, the guy you kissed might have reacted differently. But your wife may feel she can kiss other people as well. If you are o...
May 16, 2022 at 10:49
We can leave the woo woo to Hollywood movies and use the education system for actual education.
May 16, 2022 at 10:44
I take the longer view. Never mind the 'year,' humans are not 'over' yet, that is what is important.
May 16, 2022 at 10:42
Good! Have you told your wife?
May 16, 2022 at 10:39
Not the most detailed reasoning you have ever offered.
May 16, 2022 at 10:38
Well said! In the horrible Darwinian reality of evolution by natural selection. the altruistic homo sapien would probably be the first to perish. We d...
