It depends on who is punching; one could feel emotional or subjective pain if someone they cared about used violence against them because it may expre...

Mind dead?

When reading the article, the subject may not be able to picture a beach for instance, but he is still able to articulate it based on his experience a...

Ronda Rousey. Lucia Rijker. Though they didn't win, they had some serious girl balls. (Y)

I don't think that is being cynical, I think it is logical and an attitude that needs to be embraced. But I think that to try and overlook the feminin...

So we turn on each other. Fair deuce, was right.

I love the drummers t-shirt. They kind of remind me of The Dead Weather.

So there are no rules?

There was quite a lot of outrage, though, when his art was sprayed over but he found that to be quite hilarious. It is this attitude - the reasoning b...
April 15, 2017 at 11:07
Perhaps not, but artistic creativity is an aesthetic attitude and the boundaries itself is the limitations - such as conformity - that impact on the i...
April 15, 2017 at 10:52
Doesn't that defeat the purpose of what art is supposed to represent? Although I cannot go into detail as I am on my way to go grocery shopping and I'...
April 15, 2017 at 07:48
I think it is useful for explanatory purposes; the past is no longer in effect and the future is unknown. What matters is now. It is common sense to n...

Indeed, virial theorem, but I was actually concerned by your use of energy vis-a-vis entropy, particularly relating to statistical thermodynamics that...
April 14, 2017 at 08:17
Are you talking about the star itself or the stellar region? The entropy lost by the star is certainly not at an equal sum to what it gains by its sur...
April 12, 2017 at 08:25
Well, its clear why you did not understand. I haven't the time to write an explanation in detail for the unsophisticated, but though not 'clipped' per...

The initial stages of the universe began with low entropy and a perfect order (how else could it be?); using Einstein' cosmological constant, the grav...

The long winter evenings must just fly by for you.

Ok, that makes sense and it is great that you are. But surely you enjoy the clueless by pretending the CMB is what earth will look like in two years i...
April 10, 2017 at 06:07
I know. That's why I quoted you saying light does not exist. Again, :-| . This is getting awkward.
April 09, 2017 at 14:06
:-| Nope. Before we start to measure the non-sensical, perhaps you could elucidate why light doesn't exist. Actually, don't.

If colour is not contained within objective parameters, why does having no intrinsic properties mean it transcends? Notwithstanding your authoritative...

I am unsure of the reasoning behind your post, but nevertheless I think a good 'picture' of the subject is comparing its apparent spherical shape to c...

How can something that surpasses everything be contained within it?
April 07, 2017 at 10:59
Well, that is all well and good, but the problem I am still having is why you are talking to me about this 'feedback' analogy and what balancing regul...

I have no idea what you are talking about but it sounds to me more like you are screaming for attention because of an absence of love.

I initially assumed the same, but when you look at the question, he was talking more about classicalism methinks.

Absolutely; it is incomprehensible to form an analogous view between the two as the holocaust is unequivocally brutal vis-a-vis genocide, but this is ...

March 30, 2017 at 11:42
Sorry buddy, it was your so-called 'deep thinking' that led to an accusation of anti-Semitism and holocaust denial. If you cannot see just how ridicul...
March 30, 2017 at 11:11
Actually, no, not at all. Whoever denies the holocaust has lost his/her sense of humanity and I am offended at the suggestion. The holocaust and the v...
