The wave-particle duality. When propagating in space we model ilight as a wave with electrc and magnetic fields. When interacting with matter we model it as a particle with a wavelength. AE demonstrated the quantization of light in the Photoelectric Effect. It is what made him famous. AE...

I have seen animations of continental drift in shows...

Makes my chronic point. Not all, atheists can be as squirrely, , defensive, and emotional when self image is challenged.

You are 'going off the rails ' so to speak. Grasping at straws trying to get around your inference that most 19th century Christians were not pro slavery. Incoherent babbling. Should a slave be punished for raping a slave? Where the hell does that come from? Sounds like a biblical interpretation.

Keep in mind slaves were not cheap to buy or own. Most Christians or anyone else probably could not afford slaves. Jefferson, and Washington were upscale slave owners.

I do not advocate anyone 'going away' for anything other than TOU violations. Use ignore.

That Christianity was dominant in the 19th century is historical L fact. Protestants dominated and both Catholics and Jews were disdained. If yiu look at the signers f the Declaration Of Independence you will see a number of Deists who were not Christian...

~R Jews tracing back to the diaspora post fall of Israel under Rome have a rich history of philosophers. Their culture has never been a monolithic culture unchanging to today. I read Guide For The Perplexed by 12th century Jew Maimonides. He was know for building bridges between Jews, Greek...

Going by the science today if you want to live a long and healthy life. 1. No tobacc0, alcohol or drugs. Now that we have long term data pot is being shown to be unhealthy. 3. Don;t eat junk food, no soda. Healthy diet. 4. Keep your weight down.

~R One can quote mine both philosophy and and scripture to support a narrative or point of view. Neither proves anything. It has been about 50 years since I read Nietzsche. For every historical philosopher you quote I can find an historical philosophers counter to your claim...

My experience says Christians and atheists are collectively no better or worse that each other. It is Christians who clam a superiority certain;y not born out through history and today. There are atheist theologies for lack of a better word as shown by Carrier and others. As to wealth or any...

It is hard to take the OP seriously.

Anyone in my generation who grew up in and went to school in the RCC even if we are atheist now always feel guilty without knowing why...:D Seriously, Christianity is built on guilt. In the RCC your are born with original sin, and the only way to get rid of it is by being baptized in the...

I saw warehousing when I was in a nursing home and assisted living. People kept alive by meds and treatments unable to care for themselves waiting for death. It leads craziness in some. Some ridnk or smoke pot all day, as some do in my building. I just had my annual checkup and discussed my...

I do not know on optimization, I am not a Python expert. I post with it because it is a common tool people use. I stick to basic C like structure with Python. My regular math tool was Scilab. You might want to take look at it, it is in the public domain. A compete package with graphics. Better...

Food for thought for Jarhyn in his quest for profound understanding.

In computer science the term is finite automata. https://www.cs.rochester.edu/u/nelson/courses/csc_173/fa/fa.html Scroll down to the state diagrams. https://people.computing.clemson.edu/~goddard/texts/theoryOfComputation/1.pdf https://brilliant.org/wiki/finite-state-machines/ And Mealy vs...

Jumping into the thread. Nothing cnanges in zero time, and information can not propagate faster than the speed of light. Effect can not precede cause. Perception and awareness are catch all simplistic terms that describe a complex phsyical neural process. How does a baseball player 'computer'...

I thought that nuclear bombs was an old idea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mouse_on_the_Moon It doesn't sound workable. Testing it in space to the point of reliability is no small task. It word have to be precise enough to maneuver into orbit, or have secondary propulsion. The...

One thing is sure, endless debate on that which can never be resolved will exist until the last two humans around to debate.
