Same question here, but for me it's more on the side of having the possibility to listen to some podcasts again.

Podcast 2312 should be of great value for you.

You left out the best part where you and Stef talk after this caller and before the next one. Conspiracy confirmed.

You're clearly spending a lot of time with this stuff, why is this so important for you?

And the question with the most contradictions across the bible is (of course): "What must you do to be saved?" (number 355). "Here's your magical illness called sin. Now do what I say to get cured!" Thanks for sharing this, it's amazing!

Why is this so important to you? You've put quite some time and work into that post.

Let's just get rid of the 99% of evil that UPB can deal with and then we can think about upgrading it to include "playing loud music".

If everything that exists is "god", why should we call it "god" and not "everything that exists"?

I see what you did there

If I understand it correctly, it's just a link-box around a video in a larger video. It probably takes some editing work the first time, but once you got the sizes right you can easily repeat it.

Acutally it's 14 billion, so the universe is only three times older than Earth itself. That's called Fermi's Paradox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_paradox) and I agree with you, it is very fascinating. There is a section in the wiki-article that lists about two dozen hypothetical solutions, you can take a look at that if you like (it's quite long).

Actually Stef debated this guy. It's been a year and I don't remember it well (other than the lightbulb-stuff ), but I think they touched some of the points in the video. Maybe you find the debate enjoyable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBH9K6hKEmM

Are you seriously advising Stef to spank his daughter? That's just sick.

Hm, could you elaborate on this? I want to understand what happened for you when you read my statement.

[/u] It's acutally quite a good question. They either make sense and are scientific or not, but "sense to you" does not have any meaning.

From Stef's book Real-Time Relationships: One might can add "...if we are virtuous" to make it a bit more clear, but thats the definition most people here are familiar with. You can read the couple of pages in Real-Time Relationships (or the whole book ) if you're interested. And "greatly overused in many situations & not expressed correctly" is certainly correct, most people don't know smack about virtue hence they don't know anything about love.

Yes you do

If it's not that simple why do you think you can accurately represent it all in like 10 lines of php code?

While this is an interesting point, it just shifts the explanation from "where's the mass coming from?" to "where's the density change coming from?". Solid matter does not change it's density and for the molten core to change density, it must get heated up. So we are left at the question where all the extra energy might come from. That's a valid point, and it happens to be quite a big number (~10^8kg/year), but compared to the mass of earth itself (6*10^24) it is insignificant. Additionally earth loses mass in form of air escaping it and energy being radiated to space. http://scitechdaily.com/earth-loses-50000-tonnes-of-mass-every-year/

I remember the video, watched it a long time ago. My thoughts on this were the following: If earth grew 10% in radius/circumference it means that it grows ~33% (1.1³~1.33) in volume. That means earth must've gathered about 30% the mass of itself from some outside source. 30% of earth's mass is like 3 times the mass of mars and I don't see how this amount of mass just happened to merge with earth over time (Afaik it is not explained in the video, but I will watch it again soon). Plus I really dislike theories that claim that "science is all quiet about this". It's either true and can be verified by evidence or it's just made up.

Well it was the one with Izzy, so it might be somewhere in the donator-section. Maybe someone with a higher donator-status could confirm this.

Thanks for posting the site! I like this one:

Second example is the "trolley of death".

That's interesting, I experience this too, but I see it as some sort of unconscious reflection. Maybe the lyrics of the particular song are important to a situation I'm in or something happened in the past while this song was playing and the memories are coming up again. Can you relate to this or do you experience it differently?

97 m^2 is correct, although I highly doubt that this number is useful.
