the parents couldn't possibly know when their daughter wants to have sex. consider that a mother doesn't want her daughter to have sex because of the ...

well isn't saying that anything could be accelerating depending on the viewpoint just as silly? it is when you put it against actual propulsion system...
January 08, 2018 at 18:05
i think what is most interesting about this is, who is making decisions? if every decision that is made is just a product of sub conscious that's very...

we will make the spacecraft with propulsion. it is needed in order for the spacecraft to leave earth. when you create something with the intention of ...
January 08, 2018 at 17:34
earth doesn't experience any acceleration what so ever. From either viewpoint the perspective is that they are both accelerating away from each other ...
January 07, 2018 at 23:36
yeah I mean this seems like it will pose a big enough problem to at least try and develop time technology and maybe they'll find a way to keep everyon...
