Existence of matter proves something created it.
Why do you think that matter exists? Deeper we go into the microcosm - more empty space we see inside it. Atom is made of void on 90%. Electron is made of void on 90%. And so on. Its the most logical idea. I mean if I show you an ipad and say it never had a creator it just simply exists I'm sure you would say that's an insane proposition considering the complexity and order involved in its design. The more we know from Science is the Universe is so complex at the atomic level to the vastness of space then logic calls for a creator. To me its obvious but it maybe needs a bit of revelation I'm not sure. And to take the idea that there is no creator in such a complex universe is fine but I personally thinks it takes a bigger leap of faith and reason to believe it. If you have that faith then great but I can't get past the simple fact that if something exists then something must of created it. I'm glad you think the answers are obvious, when some of the greatest minds in history disagree with you. When can we expect your treatise? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchmaker_analogy#Criticism |

It IS bitcoin's fault if the protocol attracts an endless stream of scams and fraudulent service operators. I do agree with you that anyone who would put their money into bitcoin at this point is a fool, since history has shown us that essentially every bitcoin exchange or service will fold after a few years (at best).
I see you've stumbled over from Kitco, finished bashing gold bugs, on to bitcoin? The same routine, buy real assets, cash..etc. Not much happening on kitco since 2011, bitcoin's more fun? |

Hi all
Finally back from holiday. Will look into everyones tickets now
Ahmed
Break the site and take a holiday. Classic.  |

Still waiting for revolutionary space craft design and 100 billion dollars in funding. Maybe those are priority over crew?

Here's the paper itself http://arxiv.org/pdf/1404.3093v3.pdfMy problem is, if the universe is infinite, why has it not reached a state of maximum entropy? Why have the stars not all burnt out and all matter dispersed completely. Many stars did Die out, dont you read? No dumb ass, if the universe had been around forever, we wouldn't have third gen stars now, we'd be on nth generation stars constructed from what little matter could coalesce. When taken to infinity no matter could combine, it would be too spread out. I read the paper and understand it. Do you? |

Your arguments are incoherent...

Watched interstellar. it was pretty bad.
If some mysterious aliens could drop off a portal that went to a bunch of different habitable planets then you would think they could just save earths climate.
They were not mysterious aliens.. It was explained who those people were. That "mysterious force" came from humans in the future who had access to 5th dimension, which transcended time. Hahaha you didnt understand shit my friend  The movie said it COULD be humans but who it really was, was never shown. This is a classical causality paradox that arises when time is considered as a linear entity. If time is considered not linear, where singular events are considered the super position of all events, everything can exist at once. If your familiar with quantum mechanics this called a wave function collapse. The matter waves exist in all states, until they are observed then lock into a single form. In the movie, all events exist at the same time, until an observer locks the event by observing it, principle of super position. The future humans made the worm hole because it always existed, but it didn't exist until they made it. This is the paradox. From one point of view the worm hole never existed, from another it always existed. If these points are view are merged in a particular manner you get causality Even A caused event B Yes I know its very confusing and not satisfying..too bad  About worm holes, they are a consequence of particular solutions to Einstein's field equations, but they have never been observed and are only theoretical..The poster above who said nature makes them all the time is lying. Just because they are mathematically possible doesn't mean they are physically possible. Magnetic mono-poles are mathematically possible in Maxwell's equations, but they have never been observed. A magnet with only a north or south. Kip Thorne was the science adviser and apparently the modelling of the black hole gargantua was the most realistic simulation ever done and matched very well with the field equations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kip_Thornehttp://news.discovery.com/space/interstellar-black-hole-is-best-black-hole-in-sci-fi-141029.htmAs someone who studied physics formally, the movie was pure science porn. A+. There was even a correctly placed '-g' for gravity in a particular field equation on a blackboard. Very well done. I am not sure why you made this post, also, the fact that I know and understand superposition property principle doesnt mean everyone else will. What really confuses me about your post is the reason for it's existence. Also, do you want me to take you for a trip to the LHC ? Where they were actively recreating mini wormholes and blackholes which are mathematically proved while evidential proof have recently been detected in the form of Higgs particles ? The fact that we cant yet detect them with that big of an instrument is the sole reason why the LHC is undergoing an upgrade. Lastly, if you dont want to believe in the existence of something that is mathematically proven but not yet physically observed then that is more of a philosophical standpoint. As human beings we are lucky enough to even comprehend the vastness of this universe, observing it while being Earth-locked is a long shot. You're an idiot, First provide evidence of wormholes at CERN, please...I'm waiting. Also please provide evidence of mini black holes, which may be created at high enough eV levels, but have not been yet. Again send me the paper from CERN's website. Here I'll get you started. http://home.web.cern.ch/I never said I believe mathematical constructs aren't possible, I said they may not be possible. Just because they are mathematically possible doesn't mean they are physically possible.
Magnetic mono-poles are mathematically possible in Maxwell's equations, but they have never been observed. A magnet with only a north or south. Please show were I said they are not physically possible? Mathematical models don't work in all circumstances, the inverse square law uses mathematical points. A point electron doesn't exist, the model breaks down at 1/r^2 as r->0, additional models are required to resolve this inconsistency. Basic em theory says at r=0, an electron has infinite charge. Maybe a worm hole is analogous, the math shows a worm hole at r=0, but maybe the math is incomplete. Until they can be created at will and verified we won't know. Here is a link you may find of interest. http://www.englishforeveryone.org/Topics/Reading-Comprehension.htm |

I've used flux for a while now, over a year at least. Since I've switched to linux, flux is a little buggy. I installed redshift, I have manual control over the temp now from 2K to 22K. Blue light is a huge issue with disruption in melatonin production. If I use a screen within 2 hours of bed it disrupts my sleep. Even with the laptop dimmed fully and the temp set to 2k I still notice worse sleep. I also have a blue led light for my desk during the day, makes a huge difference keeping me alert. http://www.philips.ca/c-p/HF3332_60/golite-blu-energy-light |

I've been using mint for about 6 months exclusively. My only complaint is the flaky pulse audio plugin required for skype. Sometimes coming out of hibernation pulse audio locks up and the sound stops working. There's a few minor glitches every once in a while but I won't go back to windows. I'm pushing it hard on my friends and family now who don't have unique application requirements.
I kind of like just typing a simple command into the terminal to download what ever i want.
"apt-get install app"
Sometimes i just guess and it downloads what I want.

The circuit:  I can't believe i missed this circuit. This is so simple a child could build it. I would know, I took the ignition coil off our 86 Hyundai to build one in the early 90's.. I think I was 12, why didn't I solve the worlds energy problems? For about 5 dollars worth of parts including a 555 timer...seriously...  Sure looks impressive to an ignorant person, a few power transistors, passive components and one of the most basic IC's to exist. |

I usually go to meetups for Computer Programming. Most participants usually have some of app they are working on. There were two ladies who had just gotten out of University around 1-2 years ago. The university they mentioned is actually a prestigious university within our area. They were new to the meetup. I asked them what they were working on. One of them said an App that a colleague of hers had partnered with her to create. She began explaining the app, to which I replied with questions about how she was going to produce the backend (database solutions, MySQL) and if she was going to use some sort of RESTful api to store data to the database. She had absolutely no clue what I was talking about; and didn't know what MySQL was. I'm not trying to say that she was clueless; nor that University didn't give them the skills to complete projects ( although they admitted they need to learn a lot more ). However, what I'm trying to imply is that University gets you an easier ability to sit in a chair in front of the HR or person hiring you. What you say and how well you perform is what gets you the money. For drop-outs and people who are self-taught like myself, we can land a job, but it's harder to get that initial seating due to misconceptions and ignorance within the HR workforce today. However, I've found many self-taught individuals who can perform at the same level as University graduates; if not higher. It all depends on the person though. Well... rarely you will see a programmer that doesn't have a diploma, I'm no exception.
The point is that only study doesn't gives you a excellent job, but what you do and your ideas is what makes you go further in your career. Unless you're academic and want to be the bst teacher of something, then studying is the only true way.
This is starting to change. I've seen more and more diploma-less programmers. Most of them make the point (including myself), that they didn't get into programming to get a job... they did it to create a business / create something. There is a huge difference between learning the flavour of the month language, and the mathematics, design processes that the bulk of a computer science degree consists of. An analogous situation is a mechanic and a mechanical engineer. Is the engineer stupid because he doesn't know the specific systems on a specific model of vehicle? I would argue the engineer would be able to eventually diagnose and fix a vehicle, while the mechanic would be at a complete loss at any but the most rudimentary design task. They taught me pascal in high school, java was just being introduced when I went to university. I have experience with 16 bit intel asm. Imagine if my education focused solely on application of the current technologies. |
