Ah, Hm. So you did get what i was suggesting, though? The idea was that maybe you could think of particles exactly the same way as you do orbiting planets that eventually return to an original configuration. I am saying you could (possibly)

I don't know much about entanglement, but does this now explain why it happens? If we think of the universe eventually returning to some kind of steady state (i'm not sure precisely what i mean by steady state), and if there are c

I think it works out fine here. You have one path through all lives, you can't be adam and eve at the same time but you can interact with yourself as either of them at some point in your path. Of course i think original sin should come

Yes, discussing yesterday, exactly. I missed that discussion when it was gone. The point is the same whether you were joking about addiction or not. Preemptive forced action based on subjective reason like labeling makes for unwarranted con

Sounds like a possible psychological issue. This might lead to a problem for society. We might want to get you some preventive treatment for that before you have a chance of harming someone. Do you think prison might work well here?

Going out on a limb here because this does not make sense to me either. But maybe this has something to do with the fact that the valley built all of the software used to support this, quietly invested in it all in 2010 for undisclosed amou

Why is this on the second page of news right now? Older stories with way fewer points are currently ranked higher. This story is 22 hours old with 1495 points. There are stories with 264 and 305 points that are older but are currently ranke

It's also possible (more likely?) that life on any nearby planet discovered would just be a failed attempt of our own. If this is the case, then its discovery would actually be good news, it would mean we can continue in the face of catastr

Yes, which 'rock' (point of origin) did the first human-scale single-celled organism on earth launch from? In this line of thought, the fact that we got off of that rock, grew into the ecosystem that we are today, and are now well on our wa

My two cents as an American: fake smiling and fake tone of voice are equally annoying, apparent, and dishonest. It creates a really unpleasant feeling to see people expressing themselves in a way that's inconsistent with their current feeli

A UIApplication method (registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:) negotiates with apples servers using device information to obtain a 32-byte push token unique to a given device/app pair. It is likely based on the device's global id (UDID) and t
