august 2006 edition of 'discover' magazine,
'the Einstein dilemma'

opening paragraph: "Mordehai Milgrom's new physics could overthrow Newton and Einstein - and tear up our whole picture of how the universe is put together"

the article goes on to cite Milgrom's observations of spiral galaxies in which starting about the halfway point from the centre of the galaxy, the stars orbit at the same velocity; normally in a galaxy or solar system or multiple moons of a giant planet, the farther from the centre of that system, the slower things orbit.

seems the law/theory/whatever of gravity needs some fine tuning, aka MOND modified Newton dynamics.

gawd I love watching an iconoclast in action.

the trick dear blogophile is I read a great deal and retain portions of what I read a long long time. all you right wingers can do is personal attack, personal attack, personal attack showing how bereft you are in applying logic, organization, and accumulated facts and historical references to support your contentions. ergo the hard-wired right wing reflex to make it personal and sling mud.

aaaaand watch them do it here; they simply cant resist the challenge. they cant help themselves, theyre like a dope addict or rapist, they are built that way and know no other response.

incidentally, did you know the answer as to 'how can God have existed for all time' is simply that He also existed *before* the 'clock' governing all quantum changes, all movement across distance (which is also quantum; there is a distance however small that cannot be subdivided) ALL of it ...... did not happen until God *started* time. time can be slowed, distance can be squashed, that has been observed numerous times. (pun intended).

I worked this out after years of contemplation and prayer to the God mentioned in the article; it started about 10 years ago when I was in university, I posed the question to some other students as to why a photon has already accelerated to the speed of light by the time (pun intended) it reaches the outer edge of the atom, and equally instantaneously STOPS accelerating, ie reaches the speed of light and not a millimeter more, instantly.

the answer came in a stepwise fashion after above mentioned thought, and guidance thru prayer.

incidentally, time as we know it will cease at some point. this mortal physical existence will end.

so dont be so smug and conceited and dismissive o right wing blogger of any role God may have in the propagation and functioning of gravity.

Thanks for the great laugh on the corruption story. It was hysterical! I laughed so hard I cried. I was wondering if it was April fools day.

AVOID the "Do the Test" link. Popped up a virus warning on my machine.

Very funny article about "intelligent falling"!

You are the "root cause" says Chief Fontaine. Chief says you are... blah, blah, blah....

Chief says you and Prime Minister Harper are the "root cause": you are the "stain" on the "nice image".

Round 'em up, cowboys; head 'em on out.

More "stain", please. Faster and more "stain". ...-

Canada risks its nice image
National Post ^ | 2006-09-27 | John Ivison

Canada's image as the Rotarian of the world community is about to be tarnished on the floor of the United Nations General Assembly.

The idea of a polite country that forges consensus, even when the results are flawed, has already been challenged by the announcement from Stephen Harper's government that Canada will not meet its Kyoto commitments.

Now Canada is set to oppose a declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples at the UN, a decision Phil Fontaine, National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, said will prove to be a "stain on Canada's reputation."

Canada has already opposed a draft version of the declaration. It lost a 30-2 decision at the UN's Human Rights Council, siding with Russia in opposition to a document that said indigenous people should be free from discrimination, with "the right to be considered different and to be respected as such."

The issue will move to the General Assembly next month and, in the eyes of the world, Canada could end up looking as if it favours discrimination against native people.

Things are, of course, not quite that simple. But Fontaine said he is "perplexed" why Canada is risking international opprobrium over an agreement he calls "an aspirational document" that is not legally binding.

"I've very disappointed that Canada would choose to walk with Russia on this matter," he said.

He said the Canadian position has shifted significantly under the Conservatives, and he believes the root cause may be opposition from the Prime Minister, who may have philosophical objections to any agreement that recognizes collective rights over individual rights. "It would appear to me that [Indian Affairs] Minister [Jim] Prentice is uncomfortable defending the government position," he said. ...-

The firefighter story is a joke right?Right?

Theory of "intelligent falling". Hillarious. That Oral Roberts Department of Physics must be a fun place to work.

Making out in a car on stilts is one sure way to avoid auto-interuptus when the misguided youth are on the car-b-q rampage.

Intelligent falling?? Yeah right, like that's a serious story. There's only 2 possibilities: It's a joke, or it's a plant by anti-intellingent design guys.

Haven't folks heard of "The Onion"? It's a satire site (actually they have a paper addition too), and it's pretty good. Usually it gets around to poking fun at everyone and anything.

The Onion is great, "America's finest news source".

And, btw, ID (when pretending to be science) should be made fun of.

I checked the link "do the test if you dare" and my McAfee found it infected with a virus. Just to let you know.
