Don't miss the health care sign up deadline.

sign up deadline is the 31st, in a couple of days.

if you have problems with the website and youve been there before, try cleaning out your cookies and cache, then restart your computer.

that worked for me.

You know, every single person I've talked to that says the ACA is screwing them over didn't actually know what it does, how to sign up, what was covered, how to use credits or deductions.

Just the other days I was talking to someone who said the ACA was screwing him out of insurance by doubling the cost of his private plan.... I challeneged him to show me (I had my laptop).... turns out his really really bad plan was half the cost of the best ACA plan and worst ACA plan was better than his existing and cost less, even before we checked to see if he qualified for tax credits.

I agree that UHC is the way to go, but given how uneducated and ready to screw themselves Americans seem determined to be, we won't get there anytime soon.

Physics: What are your thoughts on life in the 4th,5th,and higher dimensions?

if you do a little research there are many physics forums, discussions, and books about this.

it's a bit challenging to grasp but it's very interesting.

if there is life on this higher dimensions, they could see us yet we would be unable to see them.

G'day Snare, LOL That was great advice there to Viviane, shame she didn't take it.

That wasn't written to me. WoZ.

Well why don't ya do ev'ry one a favour 'n' go do 'em then?

Sorry, I won't stop fighting pseudoscience and ignorance because of you. Since I do have things to do, I didn't bother to read the rest of your rant. I hope it didn't contain anything clever or amusing.

Viviane - Is there a point to your arrogance ? Or do you just like ordering people around and acting superior

There is no arrogance and not one person has been ordered around. There not a single instance of that in any of my posts. I did read the rest of your rant because of the off spacing and it was short.

It was really really funny, especially the part where, because your feelings are hurt, you try to equate me urging people to get a good science education and having no respect for people that want to spead pseudoscience and are too lazy to actually get a good science education when it's free. I'll have to tell that to my 10 year old, just yesterday we were laughing about the Awake that just recently came out and talks about how scientific the Bible it, he'll get a laugh out of your completely backwards comparison!

Jesus was a False Prophet - But was he deluded or deceitful?

by cofty in

any objective reading of the gospels makes it plain that jesus believed his parousia would happen within the lifetime of his generation.. his followers believed in his imminent return until the day of their deaths.. his false prophecy damaged the lives of his disciples in a similar way to that done by the lies of modern cults like the watchtower.

peter and others walked out on their wives, children and businesses to follow him around palestine.

jesus taught them to put their families and other normal concerns in second place to their task of spreading his message - which turned out to be false.. the question is what he was up to?.

Viviane

Jesus was never the Christ, he wasn't the savior of the Hebrew people. And he wasn't a prophet, what he said would come true didn't.

Why is that so hard to grasp?

Connections: remarkable sounds of the past, still seen, reproducible and tsunamis

by prologos in

just venting:.

there are a string of news items that come together in my mind to help me visualize what happened by way of connections.. the news of the inflationary stage of the early universe triggering gravity waves, that appear in our sensors like a pattern against the background.. the sale of the stradivarius viola still making unsurpassed glorious sounds after 300 years and going for 45 kk.

inflation?.

Viviane

Standing waves appear to be the newest nonsense to mention for people that don't understand science and want to pretend they do.

Plucking a string on a guitar or drawing a bow across cello doesn't produce a standing wave. You keep using that phrase. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I've read it, village girl.

Was there a point to your diatribe or were your feelings hurt for some reason? I the former, I recommend a nice cave age gruyere to accompany the whine. Otherwise, do try to get to the point next time. I have things to do.

IOW, you won't even bother to put in the work to write a well formulated question to have a discussion. How incredibly lazy.

viviane, describe please how do YOU understand a two-dimesional plane, x ength by y width ? how thick is it? or how big is a geometrical point to you?

Are you asking geometry or physics? Your question seems to be confusing the two. Make a specific, well structured and worded questio and we can discuss. Otherwise, the entire thread will be going over what you are really asking.

And if you ARE really interested, start a thread. Don't hijack this one.

The Birth of the Universe - Scientific Breakthrough

by cofty in

researchers working with a telescope at the south pole beleive they have glimpsed light from the first "trillionth of a trillionth of a tillionth" of a second after the big bang.. a lot of work has still to be done to confirm the findings, but if it holds up it is one of the biggest discoveries ever.. _________________________________________.

...inflation came with a very specific prediction - that it would be associated with waves of gravitational energy, and that these ripples in the fabric of space would leave an indelible mark on the oldest light in the sky - the famous cosmic microwave background.. the bicep2 team says it has now identified that signal.

scientists call it b-mode polarisation.

Viviane

I like original, if unconventional ideas and have 6 figure payment to my credit for certified and applied novel concepts.

None of that means anything, you are spreading pseudo-science, error and woo and trying to call it science. That is 100% wrong on every level.

Your good suggestion to get an education is well meant and I would be at it, if I believed that further SPECIALIZED learning would bolster my understanding of general science much

It's been shown time an time again that you don't have a firm grasp on the things you are talking about. A good education would help you whether you believe it or not.

and pushing 90, I do not need the good path you took to get an educted income carreer; congrats on that again.

Your age has nothing to do with it.

I do not believe anything I have said conflicts with knowledge, science as it is published today. to the contrary often eager poster had their facts wrong. binary star systems, nono- or dimensions. as recent examples.

And there is the root of the problem. It's been shown several times that your beliefs DO conflict with known science, yet you don't care because you believe something. You won't bother to examine what you write or take the time to understand actual science to see if that is true. It's willful lazy ignorance and deserves no respect.

I maintain that the tides on earth are two standing waves that remain relatively fixed, or in balance, their position to the Moon and Sun.

You can maintain whatever you like, but a system in balance (which it isn't) is the same as standing waves. This is why accuracy is important. It prevents you from making ridiculous conclusions based on bad information.

rife with error that needs correcting for the benefit of all. but error just might be a designation coming from reading facts presented from a different, unfamiliar viepoint. facts nevertheless.

Interesting that you have latched onto this to deflect from all of your earlier errors, but you are still making them.

equally timed incoming wave are reflected back out, you can see STANDING Troughs and Crests

That's not a standing wave. Please stop trying to shoe horn your pseudosceince errors and woo into reality.

The birth of the universe pictures we have of these repeated swirls could be such interference patterns that lingered long enough to register on our instruments now, rather than being FLEETING moving wave phenomena.

Again, please stop. There are no pictures of the birth of the universe. This is fantasy based on pseudo science and continual misunderstand of what science there is combined with a lack of the skills necessary to understand what we do know. What I just quoted from you is both wrong and nonsensical at the same time.
