There is no god

so you all believe the planets & sun/stars & all this vastness is just a playground for gases & funky liquids & hard as fuck stones & metals all floating around scratching their asses?

what does the phrase 'mother earth' mean to you?
i believe many could not give two shits about what this means

Howdeeeeeeeeeee dooooooooo (Thanking coffee for this post - most of my posts actually)

As a scientist (haha - I could have said "christain", which i technically am, but christianity is bunk) my reply to you, good sir, is as follows:
WHHAAAAAAAAT????!!!?!? Of course not, Mr. Poet! Physics is your answer We have the capabilities of doing so much with Physics. In lay terms, sure, you may call the vast playground of the gases and liquids a place to "scratch an ass." - is our galaxy up your ass?) - I am being cordial with you by the way. Everytime I say something to you, I envision you and I having a drink and swapping phrases in the midst of a shitload of cheersing beer mugs.

And to me, physics isn't a higher power. There is no higher power. There is just physics. (insert everything we know about physics here - I'm ready for some of your minds to be blown up by this. Always seems to irk ya the wrong way. So so strange. Did you know that our galaxy is made up of other galaxies? The Milky Way wasn’t always as it is today, a beautiful barred spiral. It became its current size and shape by eating up other galaxies. It’s still doing so today – the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is the closest galaxy to the Milky Way because its stars are currently being added to the Milky Way’s disk, and our galaxy has consumed others in its long history, such as the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy. She's a hungry beeotch. Just add more milk and whammo - there goes another galaxy)

Mother Earth: simple to me. just our planet. that's all. Mother Earth is our planet. answer over. And I LOVE planet Earth. oh fuck ya. you're god damn rights I do. If I could I'd have little baby mother earth's all over the place, just running around randomly with all their big round bodies and goofy little species doing random acts of kindness... just running around a big ole playground... scratching their asses. Watch out for pubes.

That cup of coffee... was delicious as all hell. (i think it's because I've recently learned about the word "ellipsis"... they have a name! I love that.)

This thread is a playground with many an ass being scratched.

[-O< I bow to thee
Oh Lemmy
Forgive me for I have sinned
I hath not doth bought thou music
Shame me
I beg you
Shame me
Doth the moth of David Lee Roth not be goth yet be he a sloth unto you
Shame me
Oh Lemmy, shame me. [-O<

Where did chadwick take the ass-up path?

Anyway, this thread's taken some kind of odd turn.

Nice to make fun. All good when we have a laugh.

Cheers, and let 'er rip.

dear mr. physics professor,

this complex mathematical circus act can & does solve the simpler things in life as we know it. your difficult math formulas & whatnot are holding true to maybe .0000000001% of everything & this is on a good day, sir. do not fool yourself into believing your superiority at the whiteboard is really anything but a practical joke played on you by those born before you & a slight bit of common sense & luck.

as a scientist you should be looking very far & deep into things. 'spiritually would help.' as a scientist you should be lying down the white lab coat every once in awhile & roll around in the mud on a warm or cold evening. drop a couple hits on LSD & lay in the grass

again another discussion with a scientist. you folks have huge arrogant balls let me tell you something. your little classroom lectures & study centers truly mean nothing on the grander scale of all of this. by the way, i studied environmental sciences a bit: foresty, fisheries - marine & freshwater & raised hundreds of thousands of salmon & trout at a time for the state of washington while attending school. i understand the sciences give us a slight grasp on things in this life, but only for the way we preceive this life we are in.

please wrap your head around something farther than your own beliefs, understandings & daydreams.

speaking of coffee - i hear that guitarist guy who sings a bit in a band has a coffee out or is the spokesman anyway... 'valhalla java' ... youtube has a few clips over there carrying on.

p.s. i been waiting for a few of you geniuses to teach me some complex shit. still waiting
i got though a few algebra classes. puzzles w/ letters & numbers. this should be being taught in kindergarten like it is in korea... one of my tutors was from s. korea & at age 4 or 6 years old they are diving into complex math

physics isn't but buttocks scratching when it comes to the real big ass picture... sorry if i am breaking your heart

spiritually does not mean religion either by the way

I read a quote somewhere that scientist do not claim to prove anything- that is, they do not do proofs, that's for mathematicians.

And what about a spiritual physicists like Fritjof Capra? I have not read him but what I've read about him sounds interesting. Maybe his kind of thinking is a bridge to disparate beliefs. I don't know. Enlighten me.

That part was about the OP not understanding why something bad happened.

Chadwick, this one is for you.

I think I have... no, i KNOW I have a man crush on you. You speak so badass and it intrigues me.

Now, to give your brain a challenge.

Why does the zero-point energy of the vacuum not cause a large cosmological constant? What cancels it out?

Does nature have more than four spacetime dimensions? If so, what is their size? Are dimensions a fundamental property of the universe or an emergent result of other physical laws? Can we experimentally observe evidence of higher spatial dimensions?

Why is gravity such a weak force? It becomes strong for particles only at the Planck scale, around 1019 GeV, much above the electroweak scale (100 GeV, the energy scale dominating physics at low energies). Why are these scales so different from each other? What prevents quantities at the electroweak scale, such as the Higgs boson mass, from getting quantum corrections on the order of the Planck scale? Is the solution supersymmetry, extra dimensions, or just anthropic fine-tuning?

I don't know a heck of a lot about physics or math. I understand fundamental things, like the speed & mass of a fireball during light flight and dark flight. Maybe I'm stating the obvious, but to grasp these concepts you have to define some things. As intellectuals, finding answers to physical "problems" requires definitions of variables & constants. We've defined some very basic variables (displacement, acceleration & force for example) and some constants (gravitation, molar mass and standard atmosphere for example) to which we can use to calculate things like the distance from the Earth to the Moon, or the composition of a molecular compound. We can then begin to understand things we never quite understood before. We can then start asking more questions and obtain more answers. There is no limit (or is there?) to what we can learn. Common sense is a huge factor in this - does it make sense? If it doesn't make sense, why doesn't it make sense? What's the limiting factors? What can you define in the problem? What is unknown? Can you measure it? Why or why not? How can we better understand it? Is there a solution?

These aren't practical jokes at whiteboards. Sure, they are mostly discovered by old drunken slobs that have nothing better to do than try to solve problems, but it is those brilliant minds to which we bow down to and obey and give thanks for making our world a little more understandable. Without them, we would still be on a flat Earth, screaming Hallelujah to Alah and the Mesiah for creating daylight while believing the flood was created due to a few women getting their rocks off with a group of men. Hogwash.

I understand your meaning of spiritual. I love rolling around in the mud. LSD, though you love it, is just a drug that alters perception (in positive and negative ways) to which some benefits may arise to some people. I understand too, that with time, people's perceptions of god and religion are evolving. There is a common theme developing where the religious types are claiming god and religion are not associated with one another. It's a fairly new thing you must admit. It's a no-brainer that gods and religions go hand in hand in previous times.
Me: What religion do you belong to?
Don: Christian
Me: Oh... Christian? That's the god where Jesus is the son, right?
Don: ya.. ya it is.
Me: Ok right on. What about you, what religion are you?
Karen: I'm Judaist.
Me: Oh, that's the god where... oh wait. You are forbidden to envision a god, right?
Karen: ya, that's right.... we can just use the star of david.
Me: Right on, bro. what about you? what religion are you?
Chadwick: don't even ask man... i don't have a religion i belong to.
Me: No, you don't? do you believe in god?
Chadwick: well obviously I do. he is everywhere. Oh he is, is he? ya... he is.
Me: right on bro. So, would you mind explaining..
Chadwick: HEY LOOK MAN... I can't ok? You obviously don't understand.
Me: No, you're right I don't... but maybe I do understand something. You have belief in something, to which I don't think is a real thing.
Chadwick: Ya, that's right and no matter what you say, you or nobody else will change my views
Me: Ok, fair enough. But you do like Pearl Jam, right?
Chadwick: yes you dumass.
Me: right on, bro. me too.
Chadwick: wanna pop some LSD and roll in the mud?
Me: I'll just meet you in the mud
Chadwick: Cool - I'm gonna get off my BALLS now.
Me: Chadwick... you are ALWAYS off your balls. Come on in, the mud's shitty!
Chadwick: jumpin in - CANON BALLLLLLLLLS
Me: Oh Chadwick - you big shithead
Chadwick: fuck you asshole
Me: WOW did you see that?? A shooting star, Chadwick!! That thing entered our atmosphere at about 40 miles altitude from where we are right now!
Chadwick: what the fuck are you talking about?
Me: It did! This shit's been studied. We know the thickness of our atmosphere from our obsession with astronomy. We understand what happens when items enter our atmosphere based on our own experiments in space exploration. Expand our studies even further and we have, with 100% certainty, learned the physics about fireballs and shooting stars.
Chadwick: you are one crayyyyyyzy motherfucker evsgjamajjslfjsdjf lsjdf whatever your name is
Me: ya, I is.
Chadwick: This is fucked. Why are we here?
Me: You wanted this
Chadwick: No I didn't!!
Me: Well sure you did! You said it in the forum didn't you?
Chadwick: well kinda... i said YOU should do LSD and roll around in the mud. So why am I here??
Me: Cuz I wanted you to be here
Chadwick: strange. How did I get here?
Me: my keyboard brought you here, with the help of my fantastic brain
Chadwick: fucked up
Me: I know
Chadwick: I want out
Me: You can't leave yet
Chadwick: Don't be a dick!
Me: fine fine fine... wanna hear a funny story before you go?
Chadwick: sure, make it quick. this LSD is losing it's effect and you're weirding me out
Me: Ok, I'll make it quick I promise.
Chadwick: Ok

Dedicated to Chadwick: I hope you entertained my story telling with at least a smirk on your face. This one's for you pal.
