EnimeBassey: . First off, there is God Almighty and that is without a doubt. I read an articule about such argument and this is how it went. A man who believed in God went to a barber's shop for a cut. While there there was the heated argument that there is no God but he couldn't defend it. The barber said if there was God why are there helpless and homeless pple all over the street? God could have helped them all. So he kept quiet. Went he finished from there, he stepped out and saw some guys with unkempt hair. He then quickly rushed in and told the barber that there is no barber. The barber looked at him sarcastically and said, I'm a barber and I exist, he said no u don't cuz if u do, u would have cut those guys hair. The lesson there is that we choose to let God be our God. Poeple choose what they want. If u don't pray to God, He is not obligated to do anything for u but He still gave us His grace and His mercy endures forever fortunately, I am also a believer. |

You gotta understand the mind of athiests: just as you have strongg convictions about the existence of God, their mind is as dynamic as yours is as a believer, it is just in reverse! So sometimes, its baseless to argue with'em.. |

TechRez: I think what BlackBerry should have done with the BB10 0S, instead of side-loading Android apps is what Microsoft has done with Windows 10 Mobile.
Project Astoria and Windows Bridge for iOS (previously known as Project Islandwood) will easily port Android and iOS apps respectively to Windows Store, where users can download and install without stress.
BlackBerry's approach was rather archaic and it cost them a lot. you're kinda right. Microsoft got on on the wrong foot jare, they just were so slow innovatively and paid the price. BB got 'stubborn', still surprised thy haven't gone the nokia way. For the whites, security is a big deal and this's what BB can leverage and tap back into the stiff market.. As for Samsung, I pity'em. Every dom, dick and harry now manufactures andriod phones, competiition is stiff! I see MS phone pushing limits anyway.. |
Family › Re: My Horrible Experience When Living With A Relative. by paranorman(m): 9:49pm On Oct 24, 2015*. Modified: 11:40pm On Oct 24, 2015 |
silverr: Hmmm, where do I start from, While I was quite younger, my cousin married a bad woman who came in like a saint.
She always complain that she needs a maid to live with her. We started sourcing for a young relative whose parents needed help. So I stayed with her temporarily.
She made me scrub the rug with water, dettol and liquid fresher twice a day, mop the rest of the house everyday. I don't eat on the table but in the floor. I don't sit in the cushion but in the floor. Get shouted at every little thing and she asks me if my mum sent me to kill her. Accused me of being a spy. Everyday, I pray: God let them find someone fast. I'm the kind of person that will endure you stepping on my legs till you balance before I ask you to shift as long as I'm not bleeding to death and so, I didn't even tell my cousin anything. I had a phone but didn't call any family, we attend church with our elder in the family yet I don't tell his family anything. She knew this was my weakness and exploited it fully.
Finally, I left, she brought a new girl, treated that one worse till the girl jumped out from the balcony of the 2 story they live in and ran away. She then came back to my mum and asked for my younger sister. (my sister is quiet like me).
She mistreated her till one day, my sister was forced to eat her tasteless food and rejected it. She kept beating her to eat, she ate and vomited, she then asked her to eat the vomit, my sis ate it and vomited it again then she started another round of beating till my cousin came home, she then shouted at her to clean up the mess. She cut my sis 14inch hair out of pure jealousy. She has no hair and won't have cus of her wicked hrt.
Finally, years after, there was a guy I don't really like enough to marry but he was hot on me. She kinda knew his family, she ran there and was asking his mum to stop her son from having anything to do with my family. She said I called her a witch and only visits her when I need money, I'm lazy and can't do any work, that she slaved for me while I wa at her place. She said my sis is a thief an she stole her last kobo, she had to borrow her transport to my parents house. She said my bro is a thief and went to steal and they caught him and were abt to Lynch him till she found out and intervened. She said my mum is childless cus we aren't worth being called humans. She swore all these with a bible.
I cried when I heard it not cus of the man but cus I still loved her despite all, I just took it as human wickedness and moved on. chai.. So you allowed your sis go through the same hell you went through? Experiences here almost made me cry. I stayed with my Uncle a lil' while, though the wife wasn't a demon but I was emotionally intelligent and I knew when I had to leave. I can't take nonsense from anybody, I am a captian that'd rather die with my ship than take a ride with my enemy. I gave up on humanity sometimes ago, and I prefer spending time with animals. I am even thinking of getting parrots/peacocks/turkeys/dog and all lovely looking domesticable animals. I have sworn with my right hand raise high that I will never be a source of sorrow to another human, never..! And I know God will give someone to complement my dreams. |

Sheikwonder: www.spaceplace.nasa.gov/review/dr-marc-space/time-travel.html
SirWere, The above link may be of help. Do check it out. good one there. I have a question though: space and time are different aspect of the same thing. In the article, for the 'rocket going to space' analogy, I am travelling at a faster rate than 1 hour per hour and I (personally) infer that both time and space are changing simultaneously. So, what happens if one of the aspects of space-time is changing and the other one remains constant? Is that even possible? Take for example, I am sitted here and time's flying away at the rate of 1hr/hr and the guy flying in the rocket stays younger even after travelling outta earth. So I infer that relativity's effect is felt only when travelling at a speed of light or very close to it.. |

Sheikwonder: Wow!
Did you know that Einstein never won a Noble prize for his work on relativity? This was because the theory was too controversial and there was fear that it might turn out incorrect.
It is said that when Einstein initially put his theory forward there were only about 3 people in the world who fully understood it...just 3 people!
So don't feel bad if you don't get it at first,you're in great company! I have deliberately left out maths equations and scientific jargons to make the concept much lucid.If you have any questions still,ask them specifically.I'll answer what I can and those I can't,I may refer you to the internet.
So,what is the nature of your misunderstanding on the subject specifically? I shall get back at you, lemme think. |
Nairaland General › Re: The Fourth Dimension- Part 5 by paranorman(m): 7:44pm On Sep 26, 2015 |
Sheikwonder: I shall summarize...
In general relativity there's an effect known as gravitational time dilation.The greater the gravitational potential,the slower time is. i.e If a clock is placed close to a gravitational source,time will pass slower than a clock placed farther from that source.Time has thus been 'dilated' in a sense.
On earth,the time difference is negligible [nanoseconds] and is thus not clearly felt. However over a very long time frame and great distances,the time lag can be remarkable.
For instance,placing 2 atomic clocks,one at the peak of Everest,the other below sea level over a time period of 4.6 billion years [earth's age] will cause the clock at Mt. Everest to be 39hrs faster than the one below! This is a fact and has been proven and it's not due to clock malfunction but the warped effect of gravity on time.
The maths is much complex though u can check online.. hehehe.. That's no ordinary physics. Thanks. Do well to answer my question on part 6. |
Nairaland General › Re: The Fourth Dimension- Part 5 by paranorman(m): 6:30pm On Sep 26, 2015 |
What effect does gravity have on time?! Is there an equation connecting the two? |
Nairaland General › Re: The Fourth Dimension -Part 6 by paranorman(m): 6:28pm On Sep 26, 2015 |
I have been following you. I have always been interested in this relativity theory and I find your explanation incomprehensive. Please, you need to revisit part 6 and 5 again. You can do more on this theory, you definitely can. Dumb it down! |
Nairaland General › Re: The Fourth Dimension - Part 4 by paranorman(m): 6:23pm On Sep 26, 2015 |
Sheikwonder: In the previous part of this series,I used an analogy to show why we can't see into the fourth dimension.I also promised it would get interesting.
So to the primary question: What is the fourth dimension? Many people have said that the fourth dimension is Time,but that would be a partial truth.It would be more accurate to refer to it as Spacetime.Then again you'll ask: What is Spacetime?
Spacetime is a concept in physics that refers to any mathematical model that combines space and time into a single interwoven continuum.
Are you lost? Don't be...
We understand the concept of 3D.Think of 4D as 3D+1D.The 3 spatial dimensions of length,width and depth combined with the temporal dimension of time.
If you want to meet a friend somewhere,you'd give him co-ordinates.You'd say "Meet me in the conference hall of the Sheraton at 4B,Unity close,Ikeja." But to increase your odds of meeting your friend,you'll add "At 5:30pm". Do you see my logic?The concept of space and time are not mutually exclusive. Keep Up.... so we see in 2d and the brain interpretes it as the closest estimates to the real 3d image we saw. I read this some where. Explain. |

iwriterng: Exactly! Blogging is like any other business. Once you brand it accordingly, you would never want to "tint" your brand with poor Google Ads. I don't know if you've heard of online entreprenuers (This is the right term because these ones are not just bloggers) like Niel Patel, Jon Morrow, Ramsey of Blog Tyrant, Darren Rowse, Ramit Sethi, etc. These guys make millions from their blog without displaying any ads on the blog. Some Nigerians are focusing on branding as well, people like Chioma Anozie of SimplyQuintessential, Bamidele Onibalusi of WritersInCharge Jason Nwachukwu of BlogVerve are doing pretty well too. that's right! I am glad those guys are doing well. If only I were interested in blogging. Hehehehe |
