You provide evidence rather that you even understand why dark energy is even required, why is it proposed? What is being observed which doesn't make any sense at all unless the Universe is literally made up of like 3/4 dark or hidden energy? Prove that you understand just the fundamental...

Ugh. Terrible. Tough luck. Sorry. You did what you could anyway, didn't leave any money on the table. So it sounds like it's your hand /arm? Does it impede squats? With deadlift straps (I use them and I don't have a grip injury) could you still deadlift? Does it affect pushing or...

No that is not the Big Bang model, that is the dark energy model. It's independent of the Big Bang. It's as if stars and galaxies are all rocket propelled because they're not only not in stable orbits or even diverging as if they have constant momentum, their momentum is increasing. That's...

That doesn't explain why so many galaxies are all expanding all over the place instead of collapsing or at least holding. I don't believe that, not in the sense that light's been traveling for 10 billion years, that never happened. That too. The big thing isn't even the missing mass to make...

That's what the Deists think. That's my point. And plus in broad strokes, don't you disagree with yourself here? In broad strokes, if God "takes His hand off," don't you think this all collapses? In broad strokes anyway?

That's begging the question. In order for it to be constant we must fudge the data we're collecting and recording from the telescopes. The data we fudge is called dark matter and dark energy. Once these hidden things are added in then the constant stays constant. And only if. Otherwise it's...

I asked this fellow what he thought too. fwiw:

I saw a riff on it that made me laugh. I'm going to quote it verbatim because it's TOL and we're allowed to here (unlike another popular social media platform where you'd get banned for using the term for some reason):

That they are transgender queer oppressors, don't forget.

This is how the Church's first martyrs saw martyrdom, because of the everlasting glory. I can't wrap my head around that one, but I'm trying.

But that's what I said. It only works in our neck of the woods. In order for it to work everywhere we have to invent hidden matter and hidden energy because otherwise the necessarily implied gravitational constant must swing wildly and apparently arbitrarily all around. Every galaxy has its...

LOGOS must also mean content and not only form. The Ten Commandments are almost basically called, in Greek, the "10 LOGOSes." DECALOGUE, DECA 10 LOGUE LOGOS.

idk what that means. It sounds Aristotelian or Thomistic. That's begging the question. I read your argument and I remain unconvinced, but constructrively unconvinced I think. There is a word LOGISMO /logismon /logismou /logismos which does literally mean reasoning or logic (it's obviously a...

Our math only describes gravitation in our neck of the woods. Therefore it can't be a real, immutable law of nature or physics. In the literature I'd be called a physical law irrealist. (Compare to a moral law irrealist, someone who doesn't believe in evil in any absolute sense, there is no...

idk if I know what that feels like or not. It's definitely not a united front, idk if that's your experience over there? a united front against you? It was from the beginning (of the internet). There were multiple philosophy forums of course, but for theology, TOL was the only game and only...

I'm there too, but I haven't looked into surgery ... yet. Have you done all the available surgical options? or are you on the brink of having to decide to go under the knife now? I have to modify my lifting program according to my current chronic injury. I'd love to do one exercise in...

1 The most important thing to have as a middle-aged or old, man or woman, lifting weights, is a good supply of micro-plates, which are much smaller than the standard smallest weight plate out there, which is the two-and-a-half pound plate. You need two of those plates to make the smallest...

Ukraine war still burning. We the West are funding Ukraine, against Russia, which is in the East. Israel now wages a just (defensive or preemptive) war in Gaza. The West is divided over whether Israel is in the West or in the East. And it's a paywall for me but here's the front page...

Don't forget we've been dumping free money into Ukraine and they're still not even in the top ten.

They were able to evacuate a chamber. Why not weigh the chamber before and after, make a valve and disconnect so that the vacuum tube is detachable? Weigh the thing full of air and then empty it and weigh it again.
