    Alexander - UFO's are real

    True enough; all assuming 'their' thinking and logic is more or less in line with ours. From all indications, the assumption that 'their' thinking and logic is similar/compatible to ours is also plausible; at least in my mind. From that, you probably can assume that we stick out.

    Alexander - UFO's are real

    I've mentioned this before, but all these arguments about tricksters are based on implicit assumptions which are not necessarily true. Mainly, the assumptions implicit in the 'trickster' argument is that we (ie., humans) are somehow a target or object of attention of whatever this 'alien'...

    Oh Canada...

    I fully agree with you on this one ~pixie. I've seen the G20-policing videos; some done by people with an obvious anti-G7 agenda and others without an obvious agenda. Either way, they showed facts on the ground from which it is quite obvious our police grossly mis-handled the protests. Toronto...

    Quantum effects in a growing number of macroscopic systems.

    You're arguing semantics a bit, but you are correct in that quantum mechanics is just a theory doing the describing and predicting. But one of the major aspects of this theory is that it describes the fundamental limits to the ability to predict anything with absolute certainty. Especially...

    Alexander - UFO's are real

    I can't say I am at all surprised at how Alexander views the situation. The 'special-people-in-the-know' theory always sounded bogus to me. There was always a lot of smoke, but never anything substantial (almost like everything dealing with UFO's) in these supposed government shadow...

    Oh Canada...

    The G20/policing issues were not Canada's finest hour. I had seen other videos on Youtube describing some of the mass arrests and 'kettling' techniques used by the police. It was a pretty appaling situation. No, Canada is not a police state by any stretch of the imagination. Instead most of...

    Alexander - UFO's are real

    Ufology, of course, there is no way to prove a negative. It's like the old adage of a teacup orbiting Venus; you can't prove it's not there. But be careful when buying into conspiracy theories; the line between 'us' and 'them' is often a lot less distinct than you might think. And though...

    OK, WHAT is this?

    Oh yeah, gotta have that lens! Seriously though, this is a perfect example of people believing what they want to believe. No deception intended, but no critical thinking shown by these Open Mind guys either.

    Quantum effects in a growing number of macroscopic systems.

    Quantum mechanical theory is controversial because the effects it describes are so bizzare; yet it is nevertheless describing very real things. Even the photoelectric effect could not be described without quantum mechanics. Electrons should spiral to their doom into the nucleus of an atom but...

    Quantum effects in a growing number of macroscopic systems.

    Now that, I think, is a good idea. Blind acceptance of theories is never good. It's excellent that you are trying to conceptualize and make sense of the workings of the universe, even if it is based on something like the 'rope' theory. There are tons of excellent intros to general relativity (no...

    Quantum effects in a growing number of macroscopic systems.

    Oh geez; so you're arguing that you don't quite understand quantum mechanics but believe it is a flawed theory because another theory, that you also don't quite understand, contradicts quantum mechanics. Is that about right? Look, my point is that quantum mechanics has explained a lot of...

    Quantum effects in a growing number of macroscopic systems.

    No, I've drawn this conclusion after thinking about some of the implications of the 'rope' theory. As I've stated, the 'rope' theory is fundamentaly no different than Einstein's general relativity theory which basically states the same concept, except Einstein gave a detailed mathematical...

    Nothingness

    With this philosophy I fully agree. We are literaly nothing. And conciousness/life springs from nothing. From my viewpoint, conciousness/life is a resonance, an echo, which springs from nothing and inhabits the dead matter that are our bodies. I guess this makes me a Buddhist.

    Never Before Published Audio Taped Interviews Affirms UFO Activity at Nuke Missil I understand your viewpoint, trained, but again, I don't find the military's reaction to the incursions odd at all. Think about it. This is stuff out of some science fiction movie becoming reality. How are the...

    Quantum effects in a growing number of macroscopic systems.

    Yeah, well I don't think the rope/thread theory can hold water under more careful quantitative scrutiny. Since we are talking about essentialy an infinite number of rope/thread interconnnections criss-crossing each other, how is this different than Einstein's space-time fabric? There's nothing...

    Quantum effects in a growing number of macroscopic systems.

    Yeah, well I agree that 'rope theory of light' is about the most stupid nonsense I've ever heard, but why does that nonsense deride quantum theory? Quantum theory explains a lot of everyday effects (like the photoeletric effect) in quantitative detail. Rope is good for smoking it...

    Never Before Published Audio Taped Interviews Affirms UFO Activity at Nuke Missil Not necessarily. The most visible form of response usually occurs on air bases, where fighter jets are sometimes scrambled after UFOs. But a nuclear-silo site does not usually have fighter-jets on standby, ready...

    Col. Conrad

    It's no surprise a person like Col. Conrad would want to disassociate himself from this case. When first confronted with something as bizarre as a possible UFO landing on the base, he probably would not know how to react. Then, with no actual aliens staring him in the face and a quick...

    In your opinion, who/what is God ?

    Reading your 'ramble' made me think of you having been splattered with a cross-section of just about every theological/philosophical/scientific/cosmological falacy and mis-conconception out there. Don't get the wrong idea; I'm not trying to trivialize your beliefs. I think it's great that you...
