Up-to-date information that every modern Christian must know!
Little green men? Flying saucers? No longer relegated to the lunatic fringe, the search for alien life has taken the world by storm. In this shocking book, UFO researcher Gary Bates exposes truths that will change readers forever. Written with the non-Christian in mind, this book leads the reader inexorably to one conclusion: there is an “intergalactic” battle over the history of life in the universe. Eye-opening insights ... for you and your non-Christian friends! Great pre-evangelism tool.
“One of the most haunting and persistent mysteries of our time”
Gary Bates was featured on Art Bell’s nationally syndicated radio program Coast to Coast, hosted by George Noory.
can I ask kind of stupid question? Does the time slow down for the person going the speed of light, or does time slow down for those relative to this person? In other words, if you are in a mechanism that can travel the speed of light, you will still be in the mechanism for 4.36 years; but to those on earth, you got here just moments after you left.
If you slowed down time for yourself, you would have to become immobile, in a frozen state, its not like your body would get 4.36 years for free just because your body was traveling the speed of light (your heart should still beat the same amount of beats for those 4.36 years going the speed of light as it would have going 60 mpg.
But again, we're still at the same point: no UFO's unless the speed of light. And I don't think time slows down for he person going the speed of light, I think time slows down for those relative to the travel.
Whoever was doing the packing obviously left toooooo much tinfoil
out of
your upper and lower orifi.
But then, I'm sure your exceedingly overinflated ego will take up all available space.
You might trot down to Sam's Club and try and buy several cart loads of civility as well as several cart loads of kindness.
Your future survival could depend on greatly increased quantities of both.
Hoping that if I keep him occupied, that Thorazine will kick in aaany minute now...
This thread is insane, but your question is valid. I think I understand what you're asking, and you're wrong. Time slows down for the person in the space ship.
So suppose you get on a spaceship tomorrow that gets very close to the speed of light. You take a trip to, say, Alpha Centauri and back. Your best friend who you left on Earth, waits twenty-five years for you to come home and throws a party - but for you, it's only been about a year. So he's lost all his hair and you start dating his grandkid.
You, on the space ship, would eat and drink and age in a seemingly normal rate. It's only in comparison to the rest of the universe that you'd be slowed down. Does that make sense?
At some point, brutal, evil, demeaning, ugly, arrogant, curish crassness is no longer even entertaining.
hmmmmmmmm
Good point. Feel free to stop at any time.
Have you always been this paranoid, fearful, threatened by those who believe differently from you?
And where did you get your PhD in sh*t flinging?
You used bad language. God told me you're going to the hot place. :)
Yes and no.
We could live virtually forever, if not for thousands and thousands of years by traveling the speed of light, according to your premise.
The question I ask has more to do with human physiology than physics. Either you spend 4.36 years on a spaceship, or you don't. If you claim you actually do spend 4.36 years on a spaceship, then are you claming it has some physical effect on your body to keep it from aging? Can't be.
I don't understand your premise. If you are gone 25 years, your heart has to beat so many beats per second, per hour, per year. Are you claiming that traveling the speed of light somehow changes that principle? If time slows down, are you saying we would be in such a state of suspended animation that we would live 25 years would be the equivalent to 4 years in suspended animiation?
TO me it is not a coherent premise. But it is interesting.
I think your address book is about as accurate as your constructions on reality . . . in other words, not very.
BTW, you might try reading The Bible some time.
You could enjoy particular notice of the uses of the word "dung."
Are they making a crop circle?
Perhaps I'm the ignorant one.
But I thought that was Einstein 101.
Don't worry, that Thorazine will work soon...any minute now...you'll wake up...
I've read it cover to cover, thanks. I'd be happy to tell you about it sometime.
Ask Quix. They're his kids. :)
