Hello CC

Nice Observation.
👍

But isn't Science the Wrong way to Understand Theology?

U know i wondered who passed on the ' X ' chromosome to Mary the Virgin.
Holy Ghost eh?
👻

Ps - In mathematics 1 x 1 = 1.
But in religion,
1 loaf of bread x 1 divine touch = Food for All.
✌️

I used to make Fun of other Peoples beliefs.
Found them soo stoopid & dumb.
Still can't resist sumtimes.
But I'm learning...Dignity!

SideNote - Hello Alan
😊

I'm fond of Kali...do not consider Her a divine goddess or nethin.
But i like Her.
Coz She's Black!

General Science / Re: If the speed of light is constant, time must be constant too?

« on: 17/09/2021 21:42:58 »

A zero mass particle, with immense inertia can showcase gravitational equivalence.
An Atom's detailed Mass report should suffice.

Speed of Light is Constant!
Photons from the core of SOL, it is said, take millions of years to reach the surface.
But their Speed Remains Constant.

Time is Relative...but Not Irrelevant.

« on: 17/09/2021 21:25:12 »

I suppose this OP is over & out.
Good Riddance!
👍

But i feel like making a statement...

In School, when my Teacher said 1 + 1 = 2.
I never Objected.

Our Solar System then, had Nine planets.
I could hardly remember the names, but still, i never Objected.

The Earth is Round.
I never flew outta space in school.
But I Believed!

For me, it started with Blind Faith... Believing whatever my Teachers taught me.
& Now i am in a position to logically analyse n realize all that as True!

Why do Religious folks start doubting their GOD?
Why do they want GOD to be logical & predictable... isn't GOD supposed to Act in mysterious ways.

Ps - Never ever in a Book of Science did i read " G is non existent ".
And most Holy Books showcase Divinity can bend & break the " Laws of Physics ".
Why are both these Streams of knowledge so Opposed to each other?

I mean, can't a gentle catholic man be a computer software programmer?

Can't a Quantum Physics professor Not visit a church n pray n ask for blessings n wish for world peace?

There seems to be a Group of Intolerant & Uncompromising Barbaric Individuals who seem to be creating all the Ruckus.

GOD would ideally want US(children) to do Well.

SCIENCE is the Key towards Prosperity.

New Theories / Re: Does Free-Will Exist ? (Lightweight topic......... lol)

« on: 10/09/2021 16:00:03 »

I read this in some neuroscience article waay back.

Some researchers were tryin to map, record n catch n time signals within the brain.

It was sumthin to do with alpha, gamma n such spikes.

Well, all i remember...

They timed signals accordingly.
1) When a Decision is Made.(mind)
2) When it is Acted upon.(body)

Those fellas found body signals & movement coming in first, and the decision signal later.

They concluded, Action superseded Decision.

Weird Right!

Ps - i might have read it wrong, or misunderstood or all logic must have been lost in translation & time lapse.
Sorry.

General Science / Re: Shouldn't we worry about Earth before we try to conquer Mars?

« on: 09/08/2021 20:14:36 »

I think it was a big deal when we went to the moon but to continue on this path is a total waste of time effort and money. there is no benefit in occupying mars we don't even know how to live on earth yet so why try to live somewhere that will be even more hostile than we already have. We will destroy earth long before we could ever make mars inhabitable. The space agencies are little children playing with very expensive toys. Sorry for the negative response.

I don't think You need to Apologize for your response.
I Admit, in first glance it seems negative, but it Really isn't.
Your thought is just Different from Others, that's it.
👍

Now a bit of my thoughts.
😊

The Moon is Step 1.
Logically...first base.
We gain Experience & Resources.
The time, effort & money spent shall yield handsome returns in the future.

Occupying or rather Settling Mars would be a game changer for Our Species n Other species who live, slave n die at our commands.

We not only know how to Survive on Earth, but rather Thrive!
Multiplying & Spreading & multiplying & devouring almost everything that comes in our way.

We shall perhaps Destroy the Moon before Earth.
Then Earth n Mars n a couple more heavenly bodies.
Heck We might not be here tomorrow morning...All Gone!
Yep!
We are capable of All that Greatness!
😇

PS - There's a low lit dark room.
A dirty smelly pig resides in there.
The room seems to be expanding at an accelerated rate.
The pig keeps rolling in it's own 5h1t.
There is just one odd thing here, nope it ain't the dirty smelly pig.
It's the thought that What the Hell is it doing in there & Why is it All Alone in there.

Just Think!
We obviously aren't perfect.
We know our limits, faults & evils.
Surely this Beautiful Universe deserves something much much better.
i think We can & should give this place something it truly deserves.
i think We should give Life alot more chances.
Trial & Error.
If Not US, Who Else Will?

Hi Zero,  I hope all is well.
Do we have to wait for the poll to close?

!!!Greetings!!! @Eternal Student
😊
🙏
Hello there, & Welcome to the TNS Forum.
🙋

Yes I'm doing just Fine, Thank You for asking.
Hope you are keeping well & in good company too.
🤞

(When you type in any registered users name, say for example ' Halc ' they would read it when they visit the ' OP '.
But say if it was something of Grave Importance or an Emergency situation...
Then simply attach the ' @ ' sign before their name..
@Halc
(Like 👆 this)

Then a special email notification would be sent to the User stating...
" So n so mentioned your nickname in so n so OP ".
(I did that with your Nickname... @Eternal Student & perhaps you've been Notified thru email. )
Simple!
👍

Now coming onto your Query.
I had eventually chosen an Option to " Show Poll Current Results as soon as User Votes "... Hence, perhaps the Poll does in a way self reveal as time passes & more Users vote, then Percentages change.
👍

But You know what, this place is stuffed with Smart, Intelligent & Wise folks...
😏
Hence the moment i Create a Poll...some SmartyPants instantly crawls in & blows it up!
😑
At times I'm forced to Wonder, where the Heck in the World are all the dumb folks hiding at.
🤷
& What's more...at times... I'm even challenged bout my Own Correct Option Answer.
☹️
Seriously, this place is pretty hard to survive in.
😔

But Hey!
👻
I'm still Alive n kickin!



P.S. - You are a NewBee, still pretty sure You read all those looong & booooring Terms & Conditions & Rules & Regulations, Right?

But how'd You cope up with that specific rule which states :-
 " Users need to be Naked while Reading or Writing anything in the Forum " ?
🤔
Honestly, that was a deal breaker for Mee...but somehow I've got used to it now.
Perhaps You would too.
👍


First Edit - This is how i selected Your Quote & then replied to it.

I went on your Comment & Clicked on the Blue ' Actions ' Tab.


Screenshot_2021-05-28-01-26-52-887_com.android.chrome.jpg (196.59 kB . 1080x2156 - viewed 15904 times)

Choose the very last option ' Quote (Selected) '.

I've Noticed You personally Thanking Users, which is s Really Good thing.
👍
But if you like you could also just simply go to their Comment & click the Blue ' Actions ' tab & choose the very first option...
' Say Thanks '.
(I'm gonna do it with your Comment/Post)
👍

Second Edit - Once you Thank a User's Comment/Post...this is what appears at the Bottom.


Screenshot_2021-05-28-01-36-34-205_com.android.chrome.jpg (230.19 kB . 1080x2156 - viewed 15908 times)

' The following Users thanked this post : Zer0 (my nickname)
👍

Third Edit - Seems you're easy fit with the LaTeX & already aware of how to create an OP n how to comment n everything.

But if You wish to Create your Own Funn Poll...just enter any sub-section...like the one this Poll is in
 ' Just Chat ' & simply click on the Bar Statistics Option.


IMG_20210528_012515.jpg (242.7 kB . 1080x2156 - viewed 15915 times)

Once you do, the Poll methodology is pretty easy to Understand n self explanatory.
👍
Just Please make sure to add the
 " ? " Sign at the end of each of your OP.

Fourth Edit - Wondering how I'm
 ' Editing '  my own post, after I've already posted it?

Say if i make a comment, but forget to add a minor detail, or say after i post it n read it(maybe at times the
 ' Preview ' option might Not work) then i could still ' Modify ' my own post to make Corrections or add missing details.


Screenshot_2021-05-28-01-47-28-848_com.android.chrome.jpg (207.11 kB . 1080x2156 - viewed 15904 times)

Third option is ' Modify '
& Incase i wanna dump my whole post thinking it's invalid, then Fourth option ' Remove '.
👍

Fifth edit - Yes I'm inserting Screenshots into my post.

Whenever you're typing into your post, right at the bottom you'd see...


Screenshot_2021-05-28-01-53-57-071_com.android.chrome.jpg (339.42 kB . 1080x2156 - viewed 15897 times)

Click on the ' + ' (plus) sign & you'd get further options...


Screenshot_2021-05-28-01-54-30-764_com.android.chrome.jpg (363.73 kB . 1080x2156 - viewed 15891 times)

I first click on ' Choose File ' & then select the appropriate image from my screenshots & after that i return to the Post n click within it to mark the Spot where I'd like to have the image shown(your cursor position would be the spot) & then again i scroll down to 'Attachment Options & finally click on
 ' Insert Attachment '.
👍


& Once again, on behalf of All of US, Welcome!
Hope You have a Wonderful Time in here, nJoY!

(Mods out here are extremely helpful, do Not hesitate to ask for Help...& Remember, You are Alot Smarter than You Think.)




Sixth Damned Edit - See, i forgot to mention i login thru an Android device(cell/mobil) hence my screenshots would differ from the Desktop Version...but won't be that different or difficult to Understand.

Hello Charles!

Previously i thought your posts were  quite bent towards antiscientific promulgation and also evoked potential seeding of conspiracy theories.
(Perhaps, i still Think the same)
🤔

But Now...as i see the aftereffects of the Quality of content(information) your Words/Statements/Doubts bring out or receive in Response... I'm quite Pleased!
😇

Gotta say, very helpful towards a layperson who might have similar doubts but might not have the courage to speak up or speak out.

I feel by constantly suspecting & doubting Scientific Methodologies, works out in directly proportional manners, thereby making it Alot more Stronger & Alot more Credible.

Easier Said, than Done.
Especially in this Case.
🙏

The User has been formulating their Own " Theory of Gravity " since 2015.

Going about Hypothesising this specific " Gravitational Supposition " since 2019.

Travelling steadily in a specific direction & gaining momentum since 692 days...
Nobody should ideally expect the individual to be capable of taking a sudden 180° " U " turn in just a matter of 15 days.
👎
(I am Aware the target has been set by the User himself)

Wish the Individual could have participated a little more in other sub- sections of the Forum.
     
     Would have contributed to the community as well as learnt other relevant things which might have helped in modifying & formulation of their " Gravity Theory " in a harmonious manner in relation to Reality.
👍



P.S. - Really Appreciate your sheer level of Persistence in following what You feel is Right...But, Perhaps being a Realist helps out Alot on a Science Forum.

« on: 25/03/2021 19:40:15 »

Hello @scientizscht
🙋

A couple of things could be done collectively...helps Me!
👍

Chill the empty glass by placing it in the Refrigerator, it absorbs the heat of the drink pretty quick, but not all of it Obviously.
🥛

Use metal ice cubes...they stay cool for longer than regular ice cubes & also do Not end up dissolving extra water & diluting your drink.
⬜

Thee Best way is to simply keep a spare drink in the Refrigerator.
👍
Make your New hot drink n let it cool down to room temperature & shift it into the refrigerator to chill.
(1 hour process)
By that time, just remove the already previously placed spare drink n Njoy it.
(1 minute process)

P.S. - If you fail to Plan...you plan to Fail.
👍
Critical Thinking comes in handy.
CheerZ!

@Jolly2

Hello there...
🙏

At first, i thought it would be simply futile to respond to your Post.
(I still feel somewhat the same)
But...i have this uncanny ability to surprise my ownself...hence, here's a Response.
👍
(Apologies for the delay)

Jolly...you kinda Misunderstood what i was tryin to point out at...
😑
I certainly wasn't questioning the Subject Matter of the OPs...
No Questions are Stoopid!
👍
     All i wished to state was that there needs to be a Limit per User inorder to create new OPs.
There are no specified limits set as yet by the Webpage Forum Designer...coz perhaps We all are mature enough to follow chat etiquettes & that's something taken to be part of basic principles of any forum...to be nice & courteous & follow unstated guidlines & silent rules.

My only concern was, just as Some Users create 10(ten) different OPs in a single day...the other OPs get pushed down the page...& Most if em simply go unanswered.
🙏
Imagine...you register n login n create an OP for the very first time on this forum...& For complete 2(two) months there are no takers...not a Single response to your OP...would that really make you feel Jolly Good?
😑

Perhaps You do Not face the same dillema, coz you keep on n on posting comments single handedly in your OPs, hence they are afloat always atop each sub section of the forum.
🙏
(Again, plz do not misunderstand, im not complaining)

I cannot help but simply Agree with You on the point that " We need to have More discussions, Not Less ".
The Only aspect i wish to elaborate & emphasize upon is as " Quantity " matters, so does " Quality ".
👍
Less chitty chatter...but alot more meaningful wouldn't really be such a bad thing as it sounds.

I have No personal beef with you, none whatsoever!
🙏
But citing Conspiracy Theories & especially invoking GOD onto a Science Forum feels a bit disheartening & disrespectful.

Anyways, if i have ended up stirring all sorts of the wrong emotions in You...then Please do Forgive Me!
🙏
As i mentioned prior, i shall refrain from posting in your OPs but do not expect the same from You.
Please feel free to hijack my OPs with C.T.s & other stuff which is completely non evidental & pure work of Faith or Belief.


P.S. - May Your GOD/S provide You the Strength to Stop bowing down to Commandments & to Start Critically Thinking for your Ownself.
🤞
