Professor of astrophysics at Princeton University, J. Richard Gott will talk about his work with the physics of time travel and helping people quantify how vast outer space really is, as well as the "Doomsday Argument" which shows how statistically there is a 95% chance of human extinction within 9,120 years.
Spandex. Obviously. Because we can’t find a belt for it. Same as Barney Frank.
Why without Marx? It’s not like he really invented the brand of socialism called communism.
The universe is not “everything there is” it’s everything there is in this universe.
“I get 93% chance of human extinction within 8,953 years.”
I think you forgot to carry the 1.
Everything that is not.
Patience. It's under construction.
Earth rules.
Up is relative to the fiduciary observer.
The problem with time travel is that if you and the machine go ‘back’ 2000 years, the Earth wasn’t in this spot 2000 years ago.
LOL. If you’ve got Vice President Cheney and Halliburton involved, you can probably get it done fairly quickly.
What I find curious is that 'up' is actually 'down'.
The image on your retina, that gets sent to your brain, is 'upside down'. The brain 'flips' the image, so as not to confuse the owner.
Up and down is actually related to the pull of gravity (another thing we don't quite understand), and has nothing to do with any particular 'direction'.
Let's say there are 60 billion people on the planet. If they all point straight up, they are pointing in 60 billion different directions.
There will always be people who don't have indoor toilets. Many don't have them right now.
Well, the bypass is almost done. We are waiting on the ‘hyper-space’ wormhole drilling rigs from BP. Seems there is a delay in getting the required Volgon permits, and there is a safety-record issue.
But, hey, what could go wrong? It’s not like the Earth would be missed.
If the universe is, as some have explained it, like a balloon, expanding, and the galaxies and all other objects are painted on the surface of the balloon, as the balloon grows larger, the objects grow farther apart.
If this is so, then we should be able to see the Milky Way galaxy by looking in the opposite “direction”............
I better review that Charlie Chaplin video before I tune in tonight.
Ain’t Relativity grand?
Now if “nothing” preexisted the universe and it went BANG, it stands to reason that “nothing” is the greatest explosive material (or non-material) to have never existed.
How much “nothing” would we need if we wanted to make our own bang? Since we are dealing with “nothing” here, would more “nothing” be less and less “nothing” be more? How would you determine the yield/magnitude of a “nothing” bang.
We better hope and pray that terrorist never get their hands on any “nothing”.
How would you determine the yield/magnitude of a “nothing” bang.
By how many votes it gets............
Check with a local Boy Scout Troop. They sell chocolate covered popcorn that is absolutely fantastic!!!
