Only one who knows he is lying refuses to provide supporting evidence of his statements.
In order to get away from its awesomeness hughness one would have to be traveling at ‘ludicrous speed’.
hah!
Now I’m confused. I thought this article was about the federal government. That’s what I get for just reading the title.
Those are some of the most excellent questions I look forward to having answered when the time comes that I step from here into eternity.
LOL! I don’t know either way. I just love to read how scientists struggle to put things that are beyond our comprehension (other than as a mathematical concept) into words. It’s like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon.
So THAT’S where half the stock market wealth disappeared!
It’s downright hugemongous
You know that you’ve punctured their balloon when they jump in with their illogical ad hominem attacks on the author. Particularly interesting that they never have any facts, just pure hatred of an author”
Traveling at ludicrous speed.
Good point. And what's coming out the other end after swallowing all that mass?
To take it even farther, (i can't type, spelled it 'farter' 3 times), according to fractal mathematics, shorelines are an example of a boundry of infinite length, yet enclose a finite area.
I think just about every post you've made on this thread are proof of same.

Let's see... no "about" page.
Newbies can be so annoying.
You may not be aware, but anyone can look here and see see that the tone of almost every post you make is insulting.
Yeah, fractals is nifty math; essential for modeling nature's beauty. I forget the title of the book that I read that introduced me to fractals, some 20 odd years ago. "How long is the shoreline of Great Britain?" - "It depends on how close you look."
And then there's quantum physics - the closer one looks, the more the object disappears. We still don't know the ultimate makeup of "stuff," but no doubt we are getting closer to knowing. Look how far mankind's understanding has come in the last 100 years. These are good times to be alive.
Provide specific examples. As to why I don’t have an about page - I simply haven’t gotten around to it.
Another factor about light and distance is that the intensity of light from a stable source varies inversely with the distance between the emitting and receiving objects.
In other words, if another planet like Earth orbibted the Sun at twice the distance between Sun and Earth, that planet would receive sunlight at 25% — one fourth — the intensity received by Earth.
There are tons of references to tumors (cancers) in ancient literature. The ancient Greeks even did surgery to cut them out. I just finished reading a book about Rome and I would be willing to bet that half of the natural deaths that were described were due to some form of cancer. Of course they had other names for what was happening but the symptoms give clues.
Having said that, there is very little doubt though that disease was the big killer in ancient times, followed by accidents, starvation and killing in no particular order. Cancer might not have even been in the top ten.
I have no desire to feed trolls. I provided the link. Anyone can look at it and make their own decision.
