As far as this topic goes, there's probably not very many I'd be more passionate about.  Like I said, the fairytale god is the biggest flaw and ignorance of humankind, its most glaring example of how far it has to go in order to be considered a truly intelligent species.  I can all but guarantee if we ever met an advanced alien race, that they'd view us as simpletons upon discovering our need for god to exist.  But again, thankfully the concept is on its way out, and intellect will someday reign supreme, and the concept of god will no longer infect minds, except for maybe a pocket of radicals who refuse to give in to science, logic and reason.  I'd say those days are a century or two away at best.

There's zero evidence god exists, nor will there ever be.  Because there can be no evidence for something that's merely an invention of the mind and nothing more.  Thankfully we have great minds like Stephen Hawking who have shown that the concept is no longer necessary to explain pretty much anything at all.  It's a crutch for those too weak to handle the concept of existence on their own, nothing more.  Ponder that a bit.  You'll see...

So by your perverse reasoning, anyone who believes in God is a simpleton making you an atheist by default into a highly intelligent exalted enlightened being. There are countless scientists that by comparison to you, with IQ's that far exceed yours that believe in a creator, God.

Here is just one list of them?

As a scientist he should know he simply cannot prove that god does not exist,

Not a very scientific statement. What we can say is that on the one hand every god that has yet been proposed, has been shown not to exist, and on the other, there is no requirement for anything that might be described as a god. Thus, like phlogiston and caloric, we are entitled to dispense with the outmoded hypothesis.

Very powerful statement.  I couldn't agree more.

It is not a powerful statement, in fact, it is one of the most pathetic and weak I statements I have ever had the displeasure to read. Indeed, it is a very sad statement at that, of someone who has no faith in himself or humanity and one who believes we are just biological objects.

Thank the flying spaghetti monster for people like Dawkins, who are not afraid to speak out about the evils of religion and who actively try and help eradicate it from this earth; being that religion itself is probably human kind's greatest ignorance, shortcoming, and destructive force.

Human nature is behind the evils of history. Look at the 20th century, a secular century, and industrial scale WW1, WW2 and almost WW3. Vietnam, the middle east...

For some of us Genesis is not looked to as the explanation for everything, with science as the alternate, we just don't have faith as a means to justify where all things came from. We instead have the revelation of Christ, and all other Biblical matters through Him. And hundreds of millions of us have experienced Christ as a presence and received Him. And then comes glossolalia... I have experienced that and other things and seen events at the pulpit live.

When we have spiritual encounters with the benevolent, we have a knowing that fits in with faith rather than the empirical. It is a revelation of God. Following this those people try to sustain a higher standard and go for more. Then that latter is religion. Then further their children not having a spiritual high have like a secondary religion...

In the 1980s I heard there were hundreds of millions of people who said they received Christ and some glossolalia... This generation of westerners are materialistic, pleasure loving and love irreverent humour. Also there is mocking of open mindedness and irrationality and supernatural experience. People think all we have, we got by war, or we could have gained all this material, and knowledge and good will, just with philosophy... I don't agree with it.

Not all religion is true and benevolent like that which comes from Christ. And the children can take it to extremes. They get it wrong, folly or extremism.

Jesus Christ is the answer to human nature, not the problem. And there are unclean spirits.

The west was once very Christian. People like Wilberforce abolishing slavery, cruelty to animals, and providing free education, before socialism were Christian heroes. It injected benevolence into human nature and culture.

Now it is that the missionaries from the west, made converts in other countries through evangelism, which was thankfully revived after Martin Luther. It was all too suppressed before. Now the majority of Christians are in Brazil, India, China, Korea and Africa. And Eastern Europe is taking up the faith again.

The experiencing of God's presence and power, the being spiritual is more important than religion, and I think it will always re-appear.

Thank you for standing for what is right, moral in this age of Godless immorality, where woman and man or female of male no longer exist and we have to have supposed to have become  " Non-Binary" "Things" or "Its" in which it is OK to do as you will!

"There are no atheists in the fox holes" The awful realization in their dying moments that they are in the actual process of dying and the knowledge and cold fear that this is their last moments of life, and the absolute finality of it, will make these God haters realise that they would have earned a place in a lost eternity and infinite separation from the love of Almighty God.

I refuse to apologize for my profound love and appreciation for the gift of life, which came exclusively from the source of life God Almighty creator of heaven and earth.

"In God, I put my trust! "

I wrote the below article some time ago

"The descent of human morality."

Humans have supposed to have become  " Non-Binary" "Things" or "Its" it is which do as you will!

The increase in wickedness and the descent of human morality and virtuous ethics

Perversion and promiscuity are portrayed as normal and fun.

 A judgmental and "morally superior" attitude is projected.

The "human righteousness" message is promoted.

Perversion and promiscuity are portrayed as normal and fun.

Purity is portrayed as weird and debilitating.

Marriage and family are redefined.

Beastality has been legalised in some countries (Canada one example)

There is an agenda against the historical Family order of husband and wife.

What will come next, marriage unions between animals and humans, anything is OK?


Now it is legal to murder an unborn child, but not a depraved murderous beast of a serial rapist-murderer.

Belief in the real almighty God is presented as silly. The authority of God is mocked.

Biblical Christianity is not tolerated. The revelation in the Bible is scoffed at.

The ideas that are presented as acceptable are these: "God is a mindless force," or "There are many gods," or "All of us are little god as," or "No one can know God," or "There is no God."

They speak of Mother Nature rather than give glory to God Almighty.

Involvement in the occult is encouraged. Many cults that lead to evil spirit possession, such as yoga and TM, are promoted.

The idea that more governmental control can replace good morals is promoted.

The message is that government or socialism in some form can solve all problems and bring about human-produced "utopia." Government dependency is promoted.

 A powerful one-world government is often presented as the solution.

 The theory of evolution is presented as if it were fact.

 Covetousness is used to rally support for various agendas.

False peace movements are promoted.

There us a tendency to speak of passivism while endorsing violence.

Addiction to entertainment is promoted.

Addictions such is gambling, drinking, perversion or promiscuity are promoted.

Strong emphasis is put on seeking pleasure and seeking wealth.

The doctrine is taught: do as thou wilt and the ability to pick one's own tenets from among many liberal tenets.
 
The doctrine is taught: every person has his or her own reality.

Believing in relativism: moral, spiritual, or physical.

Feeling that, "My opinion is just as valid as yours, there is no longer a moral boundary everything is good.

Banishment of the knowledge of the truth.

That there is no such thing as a lie.

The abnormal is considered to be the new normal

Believing that there is no right or wrong, just winners and losers.

Ability to hold two or more mutually exclusive tenets to be true at the same time is presented as sane.

Compartmentalization of areas of thought to allow for conflicting and chaotic thought processes.

Rationalised speculation is presented as the source of knowledge and wisdom.

You are seeing time the wrong way. Time is completely relative. The only thing that matters is the relative rates of time in different reference frames. Space/time is eternal and the universe is PERCEPTUALLY infinite and eternal, thus so are space/time.
I develop this fully in my paper "Relativistic Derivations of Gravity, Dark Matter, the Hubble Shift and Foundational Particle Physics". These derivations disprove the accelerating expanding universe theory and eliminate the need for "dark energy" and "dark matter". I can't post a link here, but if you search for the paper and download it off of viXra, I trust you will find your answer. Isn't it about time?

You are partly right time is relatively even to the extent that it even flows faster at your feet than it does at your head. But on a macro scale you whole body is moving into the future, thus the entire universe by extrapolation is moving into the future, if this were not the case, no one could say that 14 billion years have gone by since the creative event of the Big Bang.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Are you aware of the use of Lagrange points for the James Web Space Telescope

« on: 12/07/2016 21:57:33 »

As an amateur astronomer I of course knew about the five Lagrange points of stability that exist between the earth and moon , but never though I would see the day when these were to be used as a practical solution such as for the James Web telescope to by launched into orbit in a few years if all things go smoothly

(My Comment Alan McDougall)


 http://webbtelescope.org/webb_telescope/technology_at_the_extremes/overview.php

The James Webb Space Telescope is an infrared-detecting observatory that will soar through space at the Second Sun-Earth Lagrange Point, an orbit far beyond Earth's Moon. Webb's giant sunshield will protect it from stray heat and light, while its large mirror enables it to effectively capture infrared light, bringing us the clearest picture ever of objects that emit this invisible radiation — early galaxies, just-forming stars, clouds of gas and dust, and much more.

Webb has an ambitious design that tackles the two main challenges for an infrared telescope: it has to have a large mirror, in order to best capture the long infrared wavelength; and it has to be kept cold, in order to keep unwanted sources of infrared from interfering with the emissions it attempts to detect.

"WEBB'S ORBIT"

Lagrange points, named after their discoverer, Joseph Louis Lagrange, are five special points around two orbiting bodies where gravity allows a third, smaller body to orbit at a fixed distance from the larger bodies. In our case, these two bodies are the Sun and the Earth. The Webb telescope is being sent to one of these stable orbital points via rocket.

Webb's planners have several good reasons for this choice. At the Second Lagrange Point L2), 940,000 miles (1.5 million km) from Earth, the telescope will be able to keep its tennis court-sized sunshield between its sensitive equipment and the Earth, Sun and Moon, yet remain in an orbit that makes operations and communications easy. Just as important, Earth won't obstruct the telescope's view.

Although an L2 orbit offers several advantages, the most important is its location out beyond Earth. Warm objects emit infrared light in great amounts. That means the infrared detectors in Webb's instruments must operate at very cold temperatures (about -375 degrees Fahrenheit, or 40 Kelvin or -233.3 degrees Celsius). Without cooling, these instruments wouldn't be able to see beyond the radiation they generate on their own. Webb would be unable to carry enough of its own coolant and fit inside its rocket, so a cold orbit around the Sun offers an ideal solution.

"RUGGED DESIGN"

At this distant orbit, the Webb telescope is too far from Earth to have the protection of our planet's magnetic field, which blocks high-energy cosmic rays. Cosmic rays can interfere with the telescope's signals or even build up electrical charges that can create the equivalent of small lightning strikes on the telescope. Such sparks can hurt sensitive equipment or damage the telescope's materials. Webb has been engineered to take this into account, with extra shielding for detectors and conduction areas in the sunshield to prevent voltages from accumulating.

Webb doesn't look like your typical telescope. This is because it's not enclosed in a tube or dome. Telescopes that see primarily visible light, like Hubble, use tubes to keep stray light from entering their instruments. But Webb's infrared detectors have to be protected primarily from heat sources, so it uses an open design that allows heat to dissipate easily into space. Webb's sunshield, which unfurls after Webb is released from its rocket, consists of five layers of a heat-resistant material called silicon-coated Kapton. Each layer further deflects any heat or light that penetrates the previous layers.

General Science / Re: Is introspection a reliable scientific method?

« on: 12/07/2016 12:45:14 »

One of the hazards of introspection type research, are the more advanced data inductions; way beyond dreams, which are the most interesting to study through introspection, have a social taboo. If you look at schizophrenia, unconscious inductions, separate from the conscious mind and ego, are overlapping and becoming more dominant. This is a stage of introspection research when personality firmware become active so they can be observed in action.

These firmware and/or subroutines are traditionally observed from the outside using standard science practices; from output affects. However, from the POV of introspection research, there are additional dimensions of data that can be observed from the inside, you just can't see from the outside. However, the idea of wanting to induce schizophrenia in the scientist, so he can collect this extra dimensions of data, is scary and unsettling.  Introspection research may not be for everyone. It is more for those with a certain temperament and daredevil spirit. Introspection will see other data allowing different theories. Tkadm30 may well have generated extra internal data which makes the status quo seem incomplete. But unless one goes inside to see for yourself, one may well to rely on the prestige of external science as the final say. 

As far as marijuana type inductions, this may help one trigger certain types of internal data; experiments. But chronic use can weaken the scientist's ability to separate himself, with the same level of internally objectivity, that external science uses, externally. Objectivity and data analysis is a key component that makes it science. One might be able to generate lots of data, but if you don't do anything with the data, you are only an experiment. Introspection research is both data generation and data analysis.

A good place to learn how to use the data is study collective human symbolism, such as in the collective works of Carl Jung. He calls the personality firmware the archetypes of the collective unconscious. His collective works contain a huge library of collective human symbolism, from which you can analyze data. It can get very complicated, which is why you need clear periods to help the scientist,  within, focus.

His most advanced book, which is called Mysterium Conjunctions or the mystical union, is about synthesis symbols or symbols of integration. These can be used to reintegrate the personality; experiment, without  the need of drugs. The introspection scientists does this from the inside and does not need props. This is an extremely intense aspect of introspection research. Symbols are the 3-D language which the unconscious mind uses and which the firmware understand.

When I went through this phase of introspection research, I had to invent a tool to help me. It is called thought dimensional theory, which organizes brain generated information from 0-D to 4-D thought, wth the limits of 0-D and 4-D included for completeness. What I found are the firmware are spread out into three zones within that range. If you know any of the three zones, some of which are easier to observe, you know the other two. It made it easier for me to keep my bearings. It was based on many years of previous observational data. This is getting long. Maybe I will develop the basics of thought dimensional theory in another post.

An interesting and informative post, thank you!

"Augmented human sensory perception" is the title of a paper detailing my research into the human psyche?

I have  done research into human sensory perception, some of which involves altered states of consciousness. Which include introspection as one of its facets of the human psyche.

In it,  I explored the possibility of a universal superconsciousness that pervades all reality, which suggests that all conscious beings are interconnected causing an effect which affected all other sentient minds,  in some a yet unknown way.

Although the flow of electricity in a wire is often referred to as the movement of electrons actually they move relatively slowly what moves fast is the electromagnetic field that is guided by the wire that moves at c.

The speed of the electron in a copper wire, which is one of the best conductors of electricity is always less than c. In fact, it is the wave surrounding the conductor that is actually at c .

I know they can also be converted into electrons and positrons.

Yes me too, they told me this before, that is why I am referring to a Photon that is ''convertual''.


Thanks IAM for being a normal person.

added - I was thinking convirtual to represent things that can be converted but can not be seen like energy converts to work, we can see the work but we cant see the energy doing the work, the energy is practically ''virtual '' but I think virtual may be an error because virtual means doesnt exist, but regards to normal vision and just looking, we do not see the invisible things.

I think the answer lies in that the unknown but known facts which indeed far outweigh those who weigh modality out of nonexistence of photons which do not lead into maybe back into the void of absolute nothingness , where in fact photos do exists even though they do not exist in their own right as sentient beings, which are both alive and dead but living in a limbo which continues forever and was the fullness of empty concrete real reality of the empty nothing something- nesses- ness, that was other the other side of the coin of real material centre total emptiness, void of photons. which in fact were protons in disguise, which in turn did not prove that that they did not exist even though the exposed lurking in the darkness just waiting to inflict terrible pain inside your eyeballs because it spoke to me in a loud deep very quiet voice, but did exist when tests had proved that it did not to exist when in fact it did exist, as a very real concrete material object both soft to touch and as hard as the hardest diamond that hurt when I touched it with my one big toe. It was so real that the elusive photon was very real but did not exist at all, it was invisible even though it was very visible before it really existed when it affected all of the non-reality dimensional nothingness in the most profound way, not possible.

This led to scientific conclusion of the great minds of science and philosophy, that is was the absolute proof that photons did exist even though Mr Box insisted that they did not exist it was not the absolute proof that in fact, photons were a myth perpetrated by evil satanic beings which are the very essence of love and hate was wrong which proved that the proof was right before scientific methods proved, the opposite that the proof was wrong, making in into the actuality of non-positive emptiness within concrete reality of nothing which should have been but it should not have been when in fact it was even though the fact proved it was, even though it absolutely was not, that it was not real, although it was proved photons to be very real and that they existed on positive side of the negative magnet. In fact, it amazed the least insightful minds and baffled the intellects of the very enlightened ones, in how could it be that was both positive and negative at many places momentarily but in just absolute confined to just one place within the set boundaries of the infinite finite cosmos.

Mr Box I hope that makes some sense?

Cheers Alan, I can look at your post in several ways,  2 of them being-

1. A random generation of wording by a computer program

2. An ambiguous post with helpful intent


I will go for number 2 and say thanks, yes I understood some of it .

It was all me, no random generation by the computer just a joke to lighten things up and maybe get over to you that many of your posts are similar. You should really try to explain yourself in a more coherent and succinct way rather than the circular and sometimes the ambiguous way you do.

I do think that you are a sort of original thinker, but you really do not seem to have the language skills to express exactly what you mean and receive hurtful responses from some other members in the process.

"You are always polite" and do not deserve the flack you get, and I think you would make a good friend, if you do not mind can I put you on my buddy list?

I am not mocking you in this post, it is a serious attempt at helping you and extending a hand of friendship!!

In future, I will refrain from any remarks that achieve nothing but hurt and discord!!

Be Blessed

Why Linear Time "Flow" makes it impossible for the universe to be eternal?

To be honest Alan, I don't even know what that sentence means. Please clarify it for me.

What I am trying to convey if there were a hypothetical universe eternal universe in which the arrow of time moves from the past to the present into the eternal future, in a linear way like it does in our universe, we have a paradox?

<<No beginning <<<.Time......<.Past Eternity<...............<Time> future   > infinite  gap     "Never Reach now"    > ?                     

Then?

The arrow of time would never have a point in time or a beginning and the arrow of time would never have reached us in the present meaning, we would not exist.

Like Usain Bolt, he waits for the start gun but finds he is receding infinitely backward into the past eternity, meaning no matter how hard he tries he will never get to the finish line, which is the present that the audience is waiting for him to appear and break to tape. We are the audience and will wait forever but Usain will never break the finish line tape

Time equates to Usain Bolt and our existence equates to our "Now" which leaves us with a paradox or oxymoron meaning we exist but we can not exist?   

In fact, I think it is more of a philosophical question than a scientific one, but I know I am not the only one who have postulated this question, in a science debate

What about speed of electricity on a wire? Can it be added to the train's speed?

Yes, if the wire is on the train then relative to the ground the electricity is speed in wire + speed of train.

Not if relativistic speeds are involved. No information can travel faster than c.

Source Quora

https://www.quora.com/Assume-a-train-travelling-in-the-speed-of-light-and-I-was-running-inside-the-train-along-the-train-is-it-am-travelling-faster-than-light

This is the standard velocity-addition problem in relativity, which we have to use in this case. Remember, the relative speed between any two coordinate systems can never equal or exceed c, the speed of light. So, stated in more exact terms, suppose we have three reference frames: A platform R1, a train moving by the platform R2,  and yourself R3 inside the train. We set the train speed by the platform R2 – R1 = .99 c and your speed in the train at R3 – R2 = .99 c. in the same direction as the train. Then what is your speed relative to the platform R3 – R1?

The velocity-addition formula gives R3 – R1 

≈ 0.99995c

≈0.99995c.

Now we can take the case of where the train's speed is .99 c east and your speed in the train car is .99 c to the south. What is your speed and direction relative to the platform? The velocity-adddition formula gives a speed of 
0.9998c
 
0.9998 c  in the direction of only

What about speed of electricity on a wire? Can it be added to the train's speed?

Yes, if the wire is on the train then relative to the ground the electricity is speed in wire + speed of train.

I disagree but because you have been thanked 96 times I am most likely wrong.
