craziebone:I enjoyed. ur write up, but the last line ' gravity is not a force but a wave' are u saying there is no longer the force called gravity? Cos I knw we have electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic force. |

Joavid:yup, you can trigger arrhythmias or you can activate conditions that are lying dormant, so its best to do this exercise in a cardiac stress testing controlled environment. wear a holter monitor for a few days to see what your rhythm looks like over a long period of time. do a stress test to see the ST elevation during exertion to see if you have any clogged arteries. if everything checks out clear, then its only because you are not used to that level of exercise so i will advise to start slowly and increase your level of exercise every week till you get to the level you desire. 3 Likes 1 Share |

ogaprime:Okay, the problem here is not that this question cannot be answered. the problem is that answering this question requires a lot of prior biological Knowledge. as it is pretty complicated. |

Teempakguy: You humans are just de ones making things complicated for yourselves. Someone gave you simpler one, the way He did it. But some people said "noooo,it can't be truth, this is how we think it is" Who doesn't know that scientist said, life started from molecule to cell to organ to system to what ever. Why isn't that process occurring again? Why only once? Then why are we not evolving to something else if we humans evolved from ape. Mr man, you are just bitter that God "didn't pick your call" so you think there is no God. That doesn't change who He is. SEEK Him to know Him and not to know if He is there 3 Likes |

ogaprime:Why does a ball fall down when thrown up? here's a simple answer: God did it. A more complicated answer requires two years of dedicated study of Newtonian and relativistic mechanics of gravity. and it's precisely because of the complicated answer that you can get your message across to me. that you can watch TV and monitor the weather. A wise man once said, things should be made as simple as possible. but not simpler. to your questions, there are answers. the problem is that you won't understand them. . . you know what, fine. I'll answer them anyway. life started from molecule to cell to organ to system to what ever. Why isn't that process occurring again?Because the conditions required to achieve this are rare and somewhat difficult. At this point, using simple molecules, scientists have been able to synthesize complex peptides. and it took violent reactions for them to achieve this. and besides, you cannot say if the process is not occurring again. seriously. new life can be arising from non living molecules right now, and you simply wouldn't know. mainly because they don't advertise themselves. even already established lifeforms are constantly evolving over time and most of the time, this evolution is unnoticeable. Life is the most complicated thing the universe has offered us. So obviously, It will be one of the latter things we completely figure out. never the less, It would be dangerous to simply assume an entity whose existence cannot be proven, is the cause. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Teempakguy: Yes God did it. He created heaven and earth including the gravity and even to the micro elements that made up the ball Teempakguy: Just like ""God moulding man from mud in His image to breathe His breath of life into the mud and allowing the man to sleep so as to remove the man's rib to create a woman"" you won't understand too Teempakguy: Thunder doesn't strike a spot twice...that's a lie. It might no be twice in one's lifetime. But in a thousand year, it will strike twice. I wonder why such "rare conditions" can't occur again since it is random thing no one was controlling then like a chef mixing dough ingredients. So that means two different dough were mixing, one male the other female? Why didn't both dough have a male organ? Teempakguy: How can life come out of non living molecules?? Iron sharpeneth iron, wood can't sharpen iron, it will break the wood. A living man and a living woman will bring a living child You can't see God if you don't open your mind. Even if He should come down physically when its not yet time, you still won't believe 1 Like |

ogaprime:I knew this would happen. how can life come out of living molecules. retarded question. no doubt. when Have you ever had to eat a fish that was totally alive? trust me, the food that you eat is completely and totally nonliving. and yet, your body manages to synthesize trillions of cells which are living, from these nonliving materials. The question you should be asking is, How can nonliving things become living things without the help of other living things? and I can't answer that question. because science Just isn't there yet. And that is the simple truth. one thing though, when science does get there, what are you going to do? 1 Like 1 Share |

Teempakguy: Bros, you are just defending the air? Can you catch wind with your bare hands?? Teempakguy: Bros, can you eat wood? Can you eat stone?? Can you eat iron?? Are stone,iron and wood living things. The fish you made mention of is a living being but without spirit. Plants are living "being". So chicken is nonliving? Fish is nonliving apple or pineapple is nonliving?? Sir, hope you know what you are saying or you need urgent check up in a deliverance church. That you kill a fish so as to eat it doesn't make it a nonliving thing. Or you don't know de difference between living and non-living thing?? Imagine stones and irons mixing together to bring out a living thing. My brother, its only God that can do that. Teempakguy: You can't answer the question, then you shouldn't be an atheist then. How can you convince me when you don't know what you are into? Can you add rotten vegetables to ogbono soup and call it soup and eat it?? Jesus christ came alive to this world to die for us so that we all can live. Science has gotten there, and that's cloning. Take it or leave it, it is what God wants scientist to see is what they will see. Story of the tower of babel is a perfect example. Thank you 1 Like 1 Share |

BrutusOj: that's what Einstein seems to have predicted and has been confirmed now. Until now, and until Einstien, we've always thought of gravity as just a force, a push or pull, and nothing else. But now, scientists are telling us that it is a wave, essentially. This is unbelievable to me, i cannot understand it! I do not believe this modern physics led by Einstein. Newton is a bit more inspiring to me. If you say Gravity is a wave, then i will ask: does it also posses all the qualities of a wave namely: interference, reflection, refraction, diffraction, polarization etc? What kind of wave is it? A mechanical or an E-M wave or just an entirely new type of wave with its unique characteristics? These are some of the questions i am curious about. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE MY WORDS FOR THEM; MAKE SURE YOU VERIFY THEM BEFORE YOU CAN TAKE THEM AS FACTUAL. THERE ARE ALOT OF THINGS I MAY BE MISTAKEN ABOUT. |

CSTR2: i prefer classical mechanics to the General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. The reason is that: studying classical mechanics provides you with a bit of fulfilment unlike quantum mechanics and general theory of relativity whose interpretation, we cannot know to complete and absolute precision. Studying them, leaves you hanging somewhere! Comparing the two scientist's privilages, isn't something very fair. I think their aparatus is relatively sophisticated for their works and discoveries. |

craziebone: Lol. But isn't that the fantastic thing abt science? The fact that we do not know, are willing to admit it and kp searching? Gives life some sense of purpose! Newtonian classical mechanics mostly applies to the realm of human experience and reality (medium-sized objects moving at medium speeds)..it's done and dusted! We have moved beyond our realm to Special Relativity (extremely high speeds), General Relativity (extremely large masses) and Quantum Mechanics (extremely tiny sub-atomic scales). The Hallmark will be the unification of all these in the still elusive "Theory of Everything" a.k.a. String Theory. These are exciting times for Physicists! I'm not evn one...I'm just a huge fan. Back to the topic at hand...some ppl were discussing the practical applications of g-waves. Lol..guys chill! It's way too early! Imagine what had to come together for the g-waves to be detected in the first place. First, based on the observed signals, LIGO scientists estimate that the two black holes that collided for this event were about 29 and 36 times the mass of the sun, and the event took place 1.3 billion years ago. About 3 times the mass of the sun was converted into gravitational waves in a fraction of a second—with a peak power output about 50 times that of the whole visible universe! Second, the LIGO detector itself. It was a real tour-de-force of Science & Engineering. The detector had L-shaped arms with each arm a whooping 4km long, and there were two locations of this same set-up in different states, and with a capability of detecting a change in the lengths of the arms smaller than one-ten-thousandth the diameter of a proton (10-19 meter)! If that doesn't make your head spin, nothing will. This was just for detection. Imagine what has to be built for practical manipulation. Nah...not in this generation nor the next! 1 Like |
