mrphysics:Thanks for your best wishes, but who made himself god? |

vaxx:No, you shouldn't! Listen, I appreciate your conciliatory intervention, I really do! But you have not wronged me, so you should not apologise on anyone's behalf...lol. If it makes you feel any better, I really don't expect him to apologise either. My goal was really just to deflate his self-congratulatory hubris. He's desperate to be identified as a quantum physicist and chemist because it massages his fragile ego, but he is neither. Any physicist who reads his post will quickly see right through his BS. Anyway, thanks! ![]() 1 Like |

mrphysics:I imagine it's me you've referred to as SonOfAllah? Does my moniker make you uncomfortable? ![]() Yes, I'm an atheist, but I doubt my atheism is based on any doctrine. If anything, it's based on the lack of one. 1 Like |

mrphysics:That's right! Like you have explained, the big bang predates the formation of any atomic nucleus, so it is quite dumb to suggest it originated as a result of nuclear fusion. I have forgotten but I think the sun releases some ironic materials to the earth. That validates your point that irons and heavy elements don't undergo nuclear fusion.Some ionic, not ironic materials do make it to the earth from all over the universe, not just from the sun. However, the earth acquired its iron during the formation of the solar system. The iron on earth probably came from the same interstellar cloud whence came the sun's raw material. |

I do like you already! mrphysics:While it is true that a small amount of nuclear reactions occur at the core of the earth, it is not quite the same as that of the sun's. The type of reaction at the earth's core is fission, whereas the suns reaction is fusion. The earth's core is mostly an alloy of iron and nickel in solid and liquid forms. As you may know, all heavy elements from iron onwards cannot spontaneously undergo nuclear fusion. Not even in the sun. This is because the nucleon binding energies of the subsequent product of fusion will be larger than the binding energies of the individual parts. Earth gets a significant amount of heat from nuclear reactions, no doubt, but these are just residual elements undergoing radioactive decay. But when you come to the beginning of things, the universe, then I won't agree with you that it started through nuclear reactions. Lol. I might be wrong at this anyway, but I am sure that energy, time, and densities were at infinity during Big Bang.You are right! Although, it is not exactly that subatomic particles didn't exist. More accurately, they popped in and out of existence in matter-antimatter peers. But atoms most definitely formed after the Big Bang. If something can come out of nothing, then you wonder what is actually nothing. lol. Nothing and infinity are just mathematical words, they surely don't existAgreed! 1 Like |

supersystemsnig:It stopped being a discussion when you evaded my questions with unintelligible obfuscations, and you made it a quarrel the moment you unjustifiably resorted to ad hominems. Is this where we fight? Where did i ever say Uranium, that shitty element, the aftermath of reactions be the source of all things...plzRead your shitty comment which I quoted again. If it's curses, i aint dealing, i provided scientific proof, the last time i carried your so-called textbooks was over 17 years ago, so you can take back the IB tag..Who gives a fvck about your cussing? ![]() If you haven't picked up a textbook in 17 years, then pick one up and be sure of your facts before you start making nonsensical claims! No need talking anymore..Be to everyone what he deems appropriateNo, you really shouldn't have talked about subjects you knew nothing about in the first place.

supersystemsnig:It took you a while, but I'm glad you came to this realisation eventually. For the record, you disparaged my knowledge and outlined a so called map of how all elements came to exist, erroneously claiming uranium as the genesis of elements here: supersystemsnig: You further inexplicably, and hastily dismissed the link I provided you, which would have saved you a lot of embarrassment by clarifying that nuclear fusion, not fission, brought about the existence of elements here. I won't read crap, spent 20 years of sacrifice learning and watching from the sidelines, you need to go read up on the capabilities of a fission, and not fusion...if you understand what a nuclear fission is, then you'll understand, for now, i'm gone, off to the barbing saloon to gist with my hommies... With your 20 years of learning, you weren't able to tell the difference between fusion and fission, a mistake that will never be made by an IB physics student. But your hubris blinded you to correction. I hope you'll now apologize for your poor behaviour. 2 Likes |

supersystemsnig:I used the upper limit man. (1) I assumed all nuclear bombs are hydrogen bombs. (2) I used the highest estimate of H-bomb energy I know, which is 50PJ. Even if you plugged in 200PJ in the calculation, it still won't be enough to destroy the world. So I don't know what use is the average total number in this due course. See, brov, from the movement of the air, the wind, the sun, all life supporting systems would be damaged, and the use of seed banks to say we want to restart the human race won't work, are we aware that the placement of the planet in the galactic system has an interplanetary force that makes it stay perfectly in the orbit to support life?What has life got to do with the existence of the universe? Does the universe need life to exist? This would disrupt the entire sequence and necessitate an external force towards the end of the destruction of the entire galatic belt to savage what is left, and that being will only reveal himself at this point, but till then is watching patiently...Trust me, 25 years of studies have given me these revelations...Stop saying "trust me", just provide the results of your study, and let the discerning minded decide whether to trust you or not. Surely, 25 years of study means you have some peer review publications to show for it? 1 Like |

supersystemsnig:I practically just showed mathematically that it is impossible for all the nuclear bombs on earth, even if they were hydrogen bombs to even come close to destroying the earth. Destruction of life on earth does not equate to destruction of the earth. These are two different things. The earth probably predates life, and, baring any interplanetory collision, will most definitely out last it. Now with an end in sight, it is okay to say there must have been a beginning that spans before time, which is why i like to go back to sub-stomic hydrogen molecule.What is a subatomic hydrogen molecule? A hydrogen molecule is two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded, so how can they be subatomic? Now for this universe or rather the multi verse to be in its current form, required a sudden burst of energy,matter which is what a fission reaction represents, now because of the highly unstable nature of sub atomic hydrogen molecules, combining them requires extremely high amount of energy, by which once they combine releases massive amount of energy and sets of a nuclear fusion, the aftermath is a continuous chain reaction that leads to the release of new elements, energy and the world as we see it. Infact, this planet is the product of the cooling that took place by just this two sub atomic particles. The entire world does not have the energy to combine them in a repeated manner, why? It requires the exact amount of energy in the sun to combine them, which further stipulates that the genesis has an independent inventor that supplied the force needed for the start to even begin...To be clear, are you saying that it was nuclear fission that started the universe? If so, that's nonsense with all due respect! You'll find HERE, a brief summary of the origin of atoms. Atoms could not possibly have predated the universe. At such high energies, it was practically impossible for atoms to exist, so your whole explanation is suspicious. 1 Like |

vaxx: How're you doing? |

supersystemsnig:Thanks, but you didn't answer my final three questions. Could you please answer, I'm really curious! Do you know the beginning of this universe and what happened ?No, not really. Why many will say subjective and speculative according to information available to the scientific community, this universe was said to have been the aftermath of just two ph.ucking molecules, that's how this world came to being, just two sub-atomic particles ( NOT MOLECULES- PARDON MY EARLIER ERRORS ) were added up..Guess what the two sub atomic particles are? Really?? What are the two subatomic particles that produced this universe? And is it molecules or subatomic particles sef? I'm confused!?! |

supersystemsnig: Okay. But before we misplace ourselves in the vastness of the universe, let's come back down to earth. Presently, there are ~15,000 nuclear bombs in the world. Let's assume the worst case scenario, which is that all these bombs are hydrogen bombs. Now, the total energy given off by a powerful hydrogen bomb is ~50 PJ, that is ~ 50 X 1015 Joules. If all these bombs were to be donated in the same location at exactly the same time, the total energy that would be given off is ~ 7.5 X 1020 Joules. The lower limit of energy required to rip the earth apart is ~ 1.25 X 1032 Joules As you see, all the nuclear bombs combined may cause Earthquakes, induce a few volcanoes, perhaps. Sure, they may probably even wipe out all terrestrial life, but they will not as much as shake the world. They will probably not even come close to wiping out all life on earth. Clearly, the worst possible nuclear catastrophe cannot bring the earth to an end, let alone the universe. To even come close to completely destroying the earth, we'll need about a trillion of those H bombs, and I'm fairly certain we can't achieve that feat! And the earth is not even qualified to be called a dot on the universal landscape, so you may drop that talk about nuclear catastrophe. 7 Likes |

supersystemsnig:What nuclear catastrophe are we arguing about that is capable of ending the universe? The whole existence isn't matter but science alludes that matter is the beginning of all things, and upon exploration of matter lies energy deep within it...you are not thorough in this field my brother. It has taken e over 22 years of scientific investigation to understand these principles, you need to do more research before continuing the path of self-induced objections...As an emeritus quantum physicists and chemist, do you really believe that "science alludes that matter is the beginning of all things"? If the universe can't be made from nothing, then you don't understand nuclear fission. Go and study and you'll find out that just two hydrogen molecules alone when combined can lead to massive split of quanta, great released of energy, and the aftermath would be sub-atomic particles and an existence...Trust me...Read this patiently.Few more questions, prof: (1) What do you mean by "massive split of quanta"? (2) What is the physical product of a nuclear reaction between two hydrogen molecules? (3) Is this product nothing? |

Samsimple:Is this so? I personally believe that without laws such as the Ten Commandments, the worldSo before the 10 commandments, people didn't know not to kill each other? And why do you think "love thy neighbour as thyself" is meaningful in any practical way? Show me a person who loves their neighbours as themselves and I'll show you a liar! 2. Against ReligionSociety does not need god to function. Society needs authority. Society, in the past, vested this authority in an invisible entity presumed to have agency and purpose, called god; whose arbitrary instructions could only be accessed by a few lucky individuals who then disseminated the instructions to the rest of the populace. However, this god experiment has clearly failed, seeing how society is increasingly becoming secular by the day. No surprises there either: The authority of an invisible entity begins to unravel when the promised consequences of violating the instructions are just as invisible. Another reason why the value of such an authority wanes is because these instructions, once codified as the immutable commands of god, they become fossilised, whereas, societies continue to evolve so that in most cases, the commands are no longer capable of addressing the challenges of the modern era. Simply put, religious laws don't evolve quick enough to serve any long term benefits. On the other hand, as authority shifts more towards secular principles, we have began to see more methodical laws pass, without recourse to an invisible authority with ineffectual powers. Also, these laws evolve at almost the same pace as the societies they serve, ensuring there are no unpleasant after effects from forcing square pegs into round holes. In summary, eliminating religion has no bearing on how the world turns out. However, detaching it from governance through the spread of secular principles will most definitely improve the human condition. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

shaybebaby: But of course not!

selflessmaya:My apologies to you and your buttons. Any push was unwitting, I swear! I'd rather not push your buttons, either. They're yours to do with as you will. Although you say you answered my question with understanding, I didn't really sense that you understood my question, seeing as you thought it was an answer to something. Nevertheless, I take responsibility for not communicating my question effectively. Anyway, I am still grateful that "mine was the one you answered with the most understanding". Take care too! |

selflessmaya: You come across as unnecessarily combative! I read your comment very well. What I didn't do was "answer" anything. I actually just asked you a follow up question. I asked the question because the comment you replied to was itself, a response to the statement that "whatever happens between two consenting adults is no one's business". The comment you responded to was something along the lines of: If you say this for homosexuals, you must extend it to incestuous relationships of consenting adults too. So, even though you were the sole adjudicator in the object of your comment, you were essentially replying to the initial train of thought which posited that "it should be no one's business". This made me wonder if you were arguing that there are special circumstances (violation of the two clauses) under which incestuous relationships should be other people's business. It was a question from curiosity, which was asked only because I found your remark thoughtful and interesting, Selflessmaya. |

selflessmaya: I really like the clarity of your argument. You gave two compelling reasons to eschew incestuous relationships, namely: (1) Possibility of familial grooming, and (2) Higher possibility of congenital disorders in offspring. However, I wonder if you're just stating why you, in particular, are against incestuous relationships or if you actually think there should be legal regulations against it? The former, I can understand, but the latter is no more justifiable than regulating same sex marriages or polyamory. What say ye? |

Sorry, been super preoccupied today. shaybebaby: 2)explain what the collapse of particulate wave function is. Then I might begin to even have a clue. ![]() Phww! These are super complicated subjects to cover. My explanations would probably be very long, and nowhere nearly as fun as watching Youtube videos from more capable educators with brilliant illustrations. So I would share the videos instead: Enjoy! 1) Uncertainty Principle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rciVgQm-F_U&t=5s 2) Wave function collapse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_ddt6J1Bio @ ancient aliens, it is interesting even though I take it with a pinch of salt. Looking at artefacts, similarities in ancient beliefs of different cultures without a common history, also discoveries that mimic modern technology in a crude way, all very fascinating. ![]() Fake tan: ✔ Anti-gravity hair: ✔ Looks ancient: ✔ Runs the greatest show in the world: ✔ Anachronistic views: ✔ Behaves like and alien: ✔ I think you might be on to something here! |

shaybebaby:She's a new age spiritualist, haha! Initially, we used to discuss consciousness and quantum physics a lot. And she seems to believe Quantum physics alludes to the supremacy of mind over matter. Her argument is inspired by the uncertainty principle and the demonstrated collapse of particulate wave functions after "observation". The thing is that in quantum physics, "observation" is just a loaded word for "interaction", and any two things interacting with each other will inexorably collapse each other's wave functions without the need for a conscious observer. But she believes, without any sort of evidence, that the "observation" being alluded to here is strictly of a conscious sort. She's very clever, perhaps, even more so than I am, but when I start to hit her with the difficult questions on the scientific credibility of her claims, she bulks and mentions it comes from an "inner knowing" (whatever that means), then starts rambling on about how I need to open my mind and soul to higher energy vibrations, and other hocus-pocus abracadabra things from new age spiritualism. Nowadays though, we just stick to small-talk like Guy Fieri and his band of gluttons...haha! I get why she might find FN calming, I do the same but with discovery investigation and history channel(I love ancient aliensWhat with tall whites and reptilians and whatnots!

shaybebaby:Oh gosh... You remember their names. The only ones I remember for sure are Guy Fiori because he's remarkably fake, and that South African lady..Seba coz she's cute. Does she enjoy cooking or just loves to watch them shows? Either ways, she sounds like me.. Loves her food. I like her already. She rarely cooks oh! Spends all that time watching FN, then ends up eating sushi and Chinese fried rice from a restaurant nearby. She finds the channel therapeutic for some reason. She's a theoretical physicist, and she claims watching people cook calms the noise in her mind. I just think she's making up excuses because she likes being perpetually hungry. |

shaybebaby: Sometimes I wonder how that guy is still alive. And I know about him because: My GF!! She's always hungry, that lovely yeye girl.
