Nah I’m great but thanks :)
We got 1000s of vets with REAL horrific injuries from those IEDs
They break my heart and I pray for them every day.
They need the prayers so much
You forgot to tell me to smoke a bucket full of pot first, even though I don’t smoke pot.
I take klonopin for tremors. Maybe that’ll help :)
If a universe had no one to notice it, would it still exist?
If I had no one to notice my stomach, would I still be fat?
Such deep questions! :)
First ask why bound point particle electrons do not radiate energy, as they are under a central acceleration which binds them to follow a mostly circular path.
Herman Haus and Goedecke proposed a framework for the non-radiation condition of the electron. The point particle view of electrons faces waning support.
I observe you along with many others here on FR so you’re good. :)
“I figure i’ll just wait until i die to find out all the answers to these tough ones :)”
I’m hoping that too. Except our pastor was saying how it probably won’t be like that. We will have work to do in heaven. Enjoyable work. And enjoyable learning. It made sense I guess. But yeah - I’m disappointed I won’t get some of those questions answered RIGHT AWAY!
Although once I get to heaven - I’m guessing that feeling of disappointed will be gone!
That is a really cool image.
Interesting on how the photo has a relatively random pattern of large and small rings, and not all the same size; whereas the artist’s rendering makes the pattern more regular and symmetric.
I think we’ll have a lot of time.
Sometimes the idea of living forever seems terrifying but then if I think of the woman I enjoyed being with most, when it was good forever wouldn’t have been long enough..
How much better with God?
lol
If our universe is infinitely large, it is also infinitely small.
It’s hard for our minds to wrap around but I think the sense of time we have here will be different on the other side. There is the metaphor of a thousand years being like a day to God but I just think that means the constraints of time don’t apply to God as they do to us. Time is here for this universe so it works the way it does. Once we leave this mortal coil I guess we step outside of time. Its hard for us to conceive since all we have known has been in this time dependant universe. It will be a new experience that’s for sure. One of the descriptions of God is that he is the alpha and the omega. The beginning and the end. I take that to mean simultaneously in that God completely envelops the universe. He is already there at the at the end waiting for us outside of time if you can imagine that. Just my take. I could be completely wrong of course
I got this from someone who said if you take a blank sheet of paper and put a dot on it and that dot represents the entire universe and then draw a line from it but don’t take it all the way to edge you have the universe through time from beginning to end. The sheet of paper is God completely surrounding our universe simultaneously.
Even among atoms there is individuality.............................
That’s wild.
Well, it sure is something to look forward to :)
And if - is attracted to +, but don’t do it violently like an atomic bomb, why not ?
I copy and pasted the answer. It’s not easy to understand or to explain unless there is a good understanding of quantum mechanics.
From Olaf Stapledon, a science fiction writer from almost a century ago:
Our conception of time itself is now turning out to be very incoherent and superficial.
Perhaps, from the point of view of eternity, the end of the cosmos is also its source and its temporal beginning.
Perhaps the ultimate flower is also the primal seed from which all sprang.
Perhaps the final result of the cosmical process is the attainment of full cosmical consciousness, and yet what is attained in the end is also, from another point of view, the origin of all things.
So to speak, God, who created all things in the beginning, is himself created by all things in the end.

I also like John Wheeler’s participatory anthropic principle.
As I read your reply, I had the niggling feeling that there were some concepts being invented here to get away from "the finger of God" explanation.
I'll never understand why man, who has so many questions about a lot of things, just can't say ... "Well, God knows, and I don't and maybe that's the way it's supposed to be"

Quantum mechanics is based on very reliable experimental observations.
reliable observations are THEN subject to human interpretation ..... I learned THAT frying all KINDS of innocent creatures with a magnifying glass when I was 7 or 8 years old.
