I am an Accountant too but will be buying my physics textbook tomorrow to start with basic Physics, just love it and this post with comment open my eyes more to why I really love it....

Thanks for the thread but don't like the fact that most are Atheist, anyway they have right to their belief.

I love Astronomy, let's know our HOME,

Please point which book should I get for a starter, just for leisure though, I have passion for Astronomy but its somehow late for me now...

My bro we are a fortunate lot to be in a generation where we have unlimited knowledge at the tip of our fingers (The internet) .. many don't realize this and they use the internet for things that are basically useless and cannot develop them ..

I am a 21st century being bro, so i deal with e-books mostly not hard copies (mostly because i sometimes can't afford hard copies).. So i have tons of E-books i can send to you and another way is youtube, it is much fun... The phone makes it easy that you carry a whole lot of books without the weight for free..

We can only define life from the attributes of life itself as we were told in elementary integrated science, MR NIGER D, I believe is the de-facto standard for life here on Earth, there must be some form of MOVEMENT, RESPIRATION is required, NUTRITION the "form" has to feed, IRRITABILITY it has respond to its environment, GROWTH an irreversible increase size or form, EXCRETION there must be a metabolic process i its internal workings, It must be able to bring forth it kind to fit into the environment it finds itself REPRODUCTION, lastly it has a time span to exist in this environment, it is finite... DEATH! DO we really have such in other places in the Cosmos that fit into our "definition" of life? as the existentialist will say Everything is but man exist! Well I am really enjoying the discuss, topics like this should make FP more.

Add "A" to your MR NIGER D bro... its Now MR NIGER DA .. "A" stands for "adaptive/adaptation "

nice view u got there.evolution for instance am still confuse about that lot I mean I know it but I still have questions for it which it can not answer ,there are also evidence against it but it seems modern science just swept it away and made it a fact.

You can read about it and provide evidences against it and provide solutions with empirical back-up to new ideas you may propose..

Science gives a prize to anyone who can show it where it is wrong and correct it we call it NOBEL prize.. am sure you will earn one if you do.

Science is moved by doubt so it accommodates doubts and scepticism

To put it succinctly, Magic/Sorcery is Science. Different tools the same result.

The movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice (with Nicolas Cage playing Merlin) is probably not an intellectual resource, but it offers a unique viewpoint that supports that theory.

-Lord

[b] In the movie Thor, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) said "Magic is just science we yet don't understand" Though the quote belonged to an Astrophysicists who wrote sci-fis.

If you look at the quantum world, you will see a far bizarre world than what you are used to. A large universe of it's own lurking within the microscopic world.

Here in the macro world objects cannot pass through solid walls but in this quantum world the manifestations of nature are totally unconventional and different that electrons and other subatomic particles can move through walls.

Here in the macro world nothing is faster than light but in the microscopic universe information can pass from one object to another of remarkable distance instantaneously like it is just one particle in two different places (Quantum entanglement)

I think many of the magic tricks we have seen are just tricks, but i am open that we may yet have the ability to manipulate nature in ways different from ours by employing the principles the quantum world teaches.. then it will still bear the name "Science" instead of magic

Nature is one random crazy and bizarre whole..

my guy u dey there,just that science is kind of arrogant in nature,because it always provide explanation for every thing.

No my brother you misunderstand science..

Science thrives on "Ignorance and unanswered questions"... If you cannot say "I do not know" you cannot use the scientific method..

There are many premises as regards everything in this world that science always maintains "I do not know" status until they find out..

Acceptance of Ignorance fuels study because you cannot learn what you do not accept not to know... Science agrees it doesn't know that's why it is science and the thesis and theories you see around are all rewards of consistent and unrelenting study by men who were pushed by the fact that they didnt know.. they set out to know..

Science does not aim at establishing immutable dogmas but through consistent study vies to reach a truthful approximation without at any point claiming abslute truth has been reached.

I see 'science' as the most humbling of all ..

yea I have that feeling,it just seems like they just love the story of aliens that they just bring those stuff,there is a very thin line between science and science fiction you know.I even saw I picture that claim to capture a space ship around the 40s but there man could not travel out of the planet

Have you ever heard a conventional astronomer say he sighted any UFO?
Have you ever heard a Physicist claim to have been abducted by U.F.Os?

No it is always some randy local from a remote part of an unknown vicinity that always throw in such claims.

every whiff of cloud and even aerocrafts are being used to even hold on to it more..

why can't the flying saucers land in the national stadium or airport why always the backyard of some farmer?

these are shabby claims bro all the U.F.O claimants are just shabby and we need more than "i saw it" as evidence...

Like every other topic 'science' holds the the alien visitation brouhaha as just a tiny piece of another curious premise..

Serious problems because i can't wrap my head how a human is thinking like that... Didn't you read the Op or you just don't have no idea what the universe is or you are just imagining Universe to mean "Earth?"

bros, I didn't ask for definitions.... DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS? In a nutshell, every object in the universe is moving at 4 velocities (3 in each spatial dimensions and 1 in the time dimension). THE SUM OF THESE VELOCITIES ALWAYS EQUALS THE SPEED OF LIGHT. Therefore, when you go faster in the spatial dimensions, your velocity in the time dimension reduces relative to your velocity in the spatial dimensions. Let's represent this in a simple equation. X + Y + Z + T = c. Where X, Y, Z are the velocities in your Cartesian coordinates, T is your velocity in the time dimension, and c is the speed of light.

Now what happens when you reach a velocity that equals c in your spatial dimensions? We make T the subject of the formula, like so.... T = C - (X + Y +Z). Because x+y+z = c, T = 0. So at the speed of light, time stops for the object. That is why light photons are ageless... They travel at c, so T for them = 0.

Now what happens when You go past the speed of light in your spatial dimensions? That means (X + Y + Z) becomes greater than C. Therefore time becomes negative. What does it mean for time to flow in the negative direction? I leave you to answer that.

This is all fine Mathematically. But according to Einstein, the speed of light is the speed limit of the universe.. Nothing can go beyond it. That's where going back in time fails in practical

Very precise and coherent ...

You are saying what I said. We already do Time Travel. But we travel only forward in time. We can't go backwards in time in the practical world. But going back in time is THEORETICALLY possible. What do you know about "time dilation" and "four velocity"?

Time dilation is the relativity of time in contrast to a Constant which is the speed of light..

The speed of light remains exact same for a body either in motion or not but their perception of time varies.

"Four Velocity i think is the equivalence of velocity which is a vector value in our three dimensional space but this time in a four dimensional space.

Did the HCpaul guy made a firm promise that the debate would hold if you eventually come to abuja? Or was it just you trying to invite him...

He did, even mentioned me few days to my trip and asked i wasn't in abuja yet even mentioned coming with one of his pastor or something like that... Thought we were game until i got to abuja and he bailed on me

i saw it too, and was like

But anyway check it out maybe in a local store or something. If you can't find, then we'll definitely have to wait, till you find a Naija coming, or till I get there myself.

Nigeria tire me we don't even have ordinary telescope here and even mistake Binoculars to be telescope

Well i will check local stores around here

I would love to see that. What about the debate you were supposed to have with one of the nairaland fellow in abuja I think... Was it HCpaul? or someone else?

Anyway how was it? did the thing take place?

My bro it didn't happen. HCpaul bailed on me.. I sang it like 100 times, notified him when i was in abuja never got a reply. i kept mentioning him reminding him my stay in abuja was only temporal but no show even notified him the week of my departure to remind him yet nothing.

I am back to my base in Enugu now...

Heum... Are they not selling telescope in Naija? We could arrange and buy some directly on the ground, so that you may not have to wait till I come. I'm not sure about the time frame. I'll be free to hit the place.

I don't really know, i am not quite sure but i will check surely... Just saw one on Jumia, my bad shiit is wack. aint no telescope in Nigeria..

they are even tagging binoculars to be telescopes in these nonsensical online stores..

Celebrities › Re: If You Want To Succeed, Stop Depending On God - Charly Boy Warns Nigerians by johnydon22(m): 4:41pm On Feb 01, 2016

[b]Exactly Charly Boy. . . It is a sad reality that Nigerians get raped of their hard earned resources in the religious houses that are allegedly helping them.

Nigeria is overly religious with mostly a Christian and an Islam faction all over the state yet this overly religiousness and "God will do" mantra has not changed the daily woes of the masses.

Crusade houses, temples and churches are being utilized to rob the citizens who do not have enough of the little they have..

Nigerians should learn that "Manner from heaven" is a fairy-tale conjured by wishful thinking.

Help is not coming from any sky and no magical shenanigans can help you either these can only diminish your own abilities.

The problems with these delusions is that it deludes you with wishful hopes of help flying down from the sky and leaves you neglecting the effectiveness of your own abilities right in front of you..

Holy Con-Men in Suits and roman collar performing holy robbery on the poor masses and buying private jets from the sweat of these poor masses in the name of Jesus Christ our lord

while holy imams delude and brainwash the poor masses in moon hoarding mosques in the name of Muhammed our prophet.

There are no deities anywhere to help anybody if not the amount of religiosity exercised in Nigeria would have turned Nigeria to a London.

Only us can either Help or Mar ourselves, banking on wishful thinking is not really helping [/b]

I don't think it is ever possible to travel back in time, not in this macro universe.. Time may slow down, run at different pace at space/time but never backwards.. If time travel was ever possible to mankind where are the visitors from the future?

einstein's gravity theory is a generalisation which even requires gravity to propagate at the speed of light; something you denied.

U term the Bible as work of literature? N even went further to compare it to such mudane books as Harry Potter?

No the bible is not work of literature it is a work of dancing..!!!

...I even wonder what you people think literature is, any written piece of book or poem, story in fact anything "written" is literature... Religion has marred your brain so much that you don't even know what literature is... Pitiful and sad ... Www.google.com go help yourself

How shallow can one be?
How many blinds eyes have popped opened, how many lame walked, How many insane people got healed because Harry Potter was quoted?

As many as was done when bible was read

N when that myopic head of yours u lay to bed, How many of those books can explain to u what happens when u got attacked in ur sleep until u wake up sweating profusely , it was so real?

Boy you need help

How many of those books can Stand d forces of darkness?
U think the world is all about bread n butter? Literature n arts? U better wake up from ur slumber b4 u die like a chicken Cos people like u, die no other way.

Now i am sure religious beliefs can be quantified with madness or chronic lunacy... Just imagine the preposterous idiocy a human is spewing

N to think there r those who try to be free minded in this age n time is just simply worrisome.
Know this: as Sure as light n darkness, so is the forces of evil n of God. Ain't no inbtwn

Exactly just like Harry Potter and Voldomoth, Melkor and Eru, Spider man and Dr Octopus... Now you know why i quantified your bible as fairy tale? All fairy tales has the same theme... That you regurgitate and wallow in fairy tales is your own cup of tea and gullibility

All u wrote here are mortal jargon flowing from an uninformed , unenlightened mind. But just like Saul turned Paul, u still have chance.
GIVE your life to Jesus Christ n watch him transform your life. There ain't no two ways about it.
U r blessed

And you are just a genius If this is the type of mor0nic delusion religious beliefs turn people to then thank you, enjoy your Genius
