21 Oh boy, a brand new disk. I've never been first before!

22
|

23
|
||
24 That was very interesting about the difference of the speed of
|
||
25 light in water, as compared to that of a vacume. That kind of gives more
|
||
26 support to the theory of light being a form of matter, because you can
|
||
27 say the speed difference would be explained by resistance put up by
|
||
28 the water.
|
||
29 But does this mean anything?
|
||
30 Deb: when I mentioned that people were getting upset over the current
|
||
31 topic I was refering to the "Does God Exist" question.

38 BARD: Contremon may be gone but LeRoy McKane is still with
|
||
39 us. He's merely sitting back and waiting until the
|
||
40 conversation deteriorates to a point where his immoral
|
||
41 decadence will be appropriate.
|

42
|
||
43 Andy Rooney: I miss your insightless questions and comments.
|
||
44
|
||
45 Mohammed, Serena, Valinor, & Mike: The old story got old but
|
||
46 a new story would be new. That is, of course, if the speed of
|
||
47 light at your place is going as fast as it is at mine. If not
|
||
48 it is probably a sign that God is only using the left side of
|
||
49 his brain and we are doomed.
|

50
|
||
51 Natasha is dead, LeRoy is in hiding, and Bill Broonzy is
|

52 sitting back and doing God knows what. Monsieur d'Autan made
|

53 a brief appearance but disappeared. Does this mean reality
|

54 has been placed in the hands of those who believe real is
|

55 real, truth is true, and the answer lies in facts?

108 Gravity is not created from nothing and is more of a force

109 than a material.
|

110 Gravity is formed when something moves very fast, like the earth turning

111 on it's axis. And can be created by, say a loop-the-loop roller coaster.

136 Hello, I'm the Walrus. I'm new on the block so feel free to show me
|
||
137 around. Well, for one thing, I have an Apple ][ plus with 64K and a Hayes
|
||
138 Micromodem IIe. Now, to get down to business, I'm not sure whether it was
|
||
139 this disk or B, but arguement about religion seemed to be a hot item. So,
|
||
140 I'd like to put in my two binary digits. First, I feel that it is highly
|
||
141 unlikely that a God exists. I mean, we know and accept the fact that pri-
|
||
142 mative man created gods to explain unanswered questions such as why it rained
|
||
143 and the like. So why is it that Christians or Jews should be right in their
|
||
144 belief? And on top of that, science has found practical reasons for the
|
||
145 things that God was supposed to do. I mean, Christians are nice people in
|
||
146 general and I'm sure that if Christianity hadn't spread, far worst beliefs
|
||
147 would have taken root. As a not-so-famous atheist once said, "I never met
|
||
148 a Christian I didn't like, with the possible exception of Cardinal Armond
|
||
149 Richelieu." I'm sure you'll be hearing from me again.

154 HUH??? FOTI: YOU SEEM TO HAVE YOUR FORCES MIXED UP, THE FORCE YOU ARE
|
||
155 TALKING ABOUT WITH THE ROLLER COASTER IS CENTRIFUGAL FORCE. ALSO IT IS
|
||
156 NOT THE FORCE THAT KEEPS YOU ON THE EARTH. IF THE EARTH WERE TO STOP
|
||
157 SPINNING, YOU WOULD STILL STAY ON THE EARTH. GRAVITY IS RELATED TO
|
||
158 THE MASS OF A BODY, NOT TO ITS RATE OF SPIN. THE MOON IS KEPT IN
|
||
159 ORBIT AROUND THE EARTH BY A BALANCING OF THE CENTRIFUGAL FORCE OF
|
||
160 MOVING AROUND THE EARTH, AND THE GRAVITY OF THE EARTH PULLING IT IN
|
||
161 (PLUS TO A LESSER EXTENT THE MOONS GRAVITY PULLING THE EARTH TOWARDS IT.)

164 Deborah:

165 I'll make no excuses as to why I don't talk sports, basically I am

193 "Well, Lynn, if you aren't interested in filling in these gents, I'll try.
|
||
194 Correct me if I make any mistakes."
|
||
195 The Poet, unused to speaking with a dry throat, took a moment to empty his
|
||
196 #4 ale.
|
||
197 "My fellow adventurers, not long ago the peace and quiet of our Inn was
|
||
198 shattered by the exchange of a variety of high-powered weapons, apparently
|
||
199 imported from a highly technological reality. The King (whose interference
|
||
200 in the affairs of the Inn are wisely kept to a minimum) asked Lynn here to
|
||
201 contact her father, my esteemed friend in gray, to find and bring to
|
||
202 punishment the person or persons responsible. I have joined with them for
|
||
203 reasons of my own, and we are asking any who are interested to aid us in the
|
||
204 search. The only clue we have to date is my sighting of a bald man in a
|
||
205 yellowish robe leaving the Inn to the reality of Innisfall on the night in
|
||
206 question. Thinking back, I've seen people garbed like him before. I think
|
||
207 they call themselves "Hairy Fishnuts" or something of the sort. Our friend
|
||
208 here," he said, gesturing to the Piper, "has the ability to bridge realities
|
||
209 with his music. This should aid us, for I fear this search will take in
|
||
210 many worlds before we are finished. Make no mistake, we are doubtless
|
||
211 dealing with despeate and dangerous beings here, and involvement could be
|
||
212 risky. But I, for one, will risk anything to assure the continued peace of
|
||
213 my drinking space at the Inn. And here is my pledge of arms!"
|
||
214 So saying, the mad-eyed Poet scooped up his four empty mugs and tossed them
|
||
215 into the air. Then, faster than any could follow, four small stars seemed
|
||
216 to fly from his hands, shattering the glasses at their apex.
|
||
217 "Oops...got carried away there," he said, as shards rained down on his
|
||
218 audience."Uh...Innkeeper, could you put those on my tab?"

|

230 "Hairy fishnuts!!" The piper stroked his beard thoughtfully. "I'm not sure
|
||
231 that I really want to get too closely involved with those people. I'm a much
|
||
232 better lover than fighter, begging the lady's pardon. However -- I agree,
|
||
233 it really must be done. I have a shrapnel scar on my bag from that exchange.
|
||
234 Mind you, now, I cannot control reality, I can only influence it. My pipes
|
||
235 and myself are at your service."
|
||
236
|
||
237 "I'll be right back. Hairy fishnuts!!" The piper stood up and blew into his
|
||
238 pipes. As the sound of the drones began, he shimmered slightly, grew
|
||
239 transparent, and dissappeared. Within a few moments, the faint sound of the
|
||
240 pipes returned, seemingly from a great distance.

244 You too are a victim of GMAP? Let me guess, Olsen's class (or what

245 little remains of it). If that's the case, did you ever get your linked

246 list problem solved? I've been trying to get help since monday, but
|

247 last night Olsen called and said she

251 Deb: I'm not into sports because I'm not into physical pain.

252 I'm the type who feels out to the mail box and back is more than enough

255 real pinball).

266 FOTI & JONATHAN CHANCE (& anyone else involved in the Physics argument)
|
||
267 Pick up the March 84 issue of Astronomy magazine, it has an article
|
||
268 called "The Planck Era" (p 66). It deals with current theory regarding the
|
||
269 Big Bang. A quote from the article:
|
||
270 Several recent studies by physicists Edward Tryon of Hunter College, R. Brout,
|
||
271 F. Englert, and E. Gunzig of the University of Brussels, and David Atkatz and
|
||
272 Heinz Pagels of Rockefeller University have shed additional light on the Big
|
||
273 Bang. Imagine, if you can, nothing at all -- this is the primordial vacuum of
|
||
274 space. There is complete darkness here; no light yet exists. The number of
|
||
275 dimensions to space was probably not the normal three that we are so accustomed
|
||
276 to, and may have been as high as 11. In this infinite emptiness, random
|
||
277 fluctuations in the very geometry of space ever so slightly changed the energy
|
||
278 of the vacuum at various points. Eventually, one of these fluctuations attained
|
||
279 a critical energy and began to grow. As it grew, the massive leptoquarks and
|
||
280 anti-leptoquark particles were created; expansion accelerated, creating still
|
||
281 more leptoquarks. This furious cycle continued until, at long last, the
|
||
282 leptoquarks decayed into quarks, leptons (particles like electrons and muons,
|
||
283 for example), and their anti-particles. Thus the universe emerged from the
|
||
284 Planck Era, 10^-43 second after its birth. Particle creation stopped once the
|
||
285 fluctuations in the geometry of space subsided.

352 "But wait.", Nila cried. "Can't you help me in my search? I'm
|
||
353 looking for The Place Where East Begins."
|
||
354
|
||
355 "I've already helped you.", said the frog. "I told you and I
|
||
356 showed you. What do you expect from a frog?"
|
||
357
|
||
358 "But can't you even give me a clue? I'm sorry I don't understand,
|
||
359 truly I am. Every thing here confuses me and I don't think I
|
||
360 should be so confused at The Fountain of Truth."
|
||
361
|
||
362 "Fountain of truth? Fountain of Truth!", the frog exclaimed."But
|
||
363 this is just the fountain, where I live you know. I call it frog
|
||
364 fountain. You drink it's water and your thirst is quenched.
|
||
365 That's the only truth to be found here."
|
||
366
|
||
367 "But what do you mean?", Nila asked. "Please Sir Frog..."
|
||
368
|
||
369 "Frogs just mean frogs princess. Has anyone ever told you that
|
||
370 you have a very short memory?" And with a great plop he leaped
|
||
371 into the fountain. Instantly his green skin disappeared in
|
||
372 the green water and Nila could no longer see where was frog
|
||
373 and where was water.
|
||
374 Well, thought Nila, he wasn't much help for a magic frog.
|
||
375 Everything had led her to expect quite a lot from magic frogs
|
||
376 and she was a little disappointed. She sighed and looked
|
||
377 eastward at the rising sun, still close to the horizon. There
|
||
378 had to be some place over there where East began but she
|
||
379 couldn't guess how terribly far it might be. The edge of the
|
||
380 world probably and she wasn't truly sure she wanted to walk
|
||
381 that far. It seemed such a long way.
|
||
382
|
||
383 The sun's warmth was bringing out the scent of flowers and she
|
||
384 heard the faint sound of bees seeking nectar.

|
||
500 KUSOO! I surmise that I have missed a disk! (Pardon the use of a five
|
||
501 letter Japanese word in lieu of the English four letter equivalent.)
|
||
502 It seems that things have picked up a bt since my last visit.
|
||
503
|
||
504 I am curious as to the initial responses to my (anti)religious discussion
|
||
505 as well as that regarding parental discretion wrt sexual freedom. I real-
|
||
506 that both of these viewpoints are largely "unamerican".
|
||
507
|
||
508 Bo: One of the advantages of a BBS is that it affords the user the oppor-
|
||
509 tunity to be brutally honest without fear of offence to his ideological
|
||
510 opponents, provided that he does not, in the process of expressing his
|
||
511 opinion, become abusive. Further, I mintain that any subject, religion
|
||
512 or whatever may be discussed in a civilized mannner, particularly when
|
||
513 there is time to consider ones words before putting them forth. After
|
||
514 reading this board I have at times been amazed, astounded, bewildered and
|
||
515 sometimes even perturbed; but never offended. Regarding 66/40, I deeply
|
||
516 sympathize. I too have been a victim of the "Olsen syndrome". There are
|
||
517 three steps to successful completion of said class:
|
||
518 1) NEVER disagree with instructor.
|
||
519 2) NEVER write a better program than instructors.
|
||
520 3) Buy her a case of gin. (This has the added advantage of resulting
|
||
521 in her absence for a few days.)
|
||
522 Even more frustrating than the instructor is the realization that the 66/40
|
||
523 is an antique and that in practical terms, GMAP is totally useless aside
|
||
524 from its similarities to other assemblers. If you are disappointed with
|
||
525 Olsen and if you are a CS major, I have even more depressing news. You
|
||
526 have yet to encounter "Miss Piggy". Oh well, cheer up! For upper level
|
||
527 classes you will at least have access to a relatively decent (VAX) system.
|
||
528 I was stuck with Honeywell, Harris and a few other such systems that PSU
|
||
529 picked up at Goodwill.
|
||
530
|
||
531 Deb: I believe the key point which has not yet been emphacised regarding
|
||
532 your arguement on previous disk is your use of the word "SEEMINGLY".
|
||
533 That which "seems" to one might "seem not" to another. Whether or not
|
||
534 something "seems" depends much more on the "seemee" than on fact. It
|
||
535 also appears that you are contending that energy is nothing; and as "Me"
|
||
536 pointed out, that that which cannot be seen does not exist. I do not say
|
||
537 "God does not exist because I cannot see him/her/it/them/etc.", nor do I
|
||
538 even say "God does not exist." Indeed, I believe that god does exsist.
|
||
539 The very fact of its conceivability is evidence that it does exist in the
|
||
540 mind of those who conceive it. This is not to say that it is as it is
|
||
541 conceived, but rather that it is in itself a conception, or a collection
|
||
542 thereof. I believe that proponents of both sides of this discussion,
|
||
543 including myself, have upon occassion, dealt with abstractions as though
|
||
544 they were fact. "Good", "evil", "right", "wrong", "proof", "existence"
|
||
545 and in my opinion "god" are examples of such abstractions.
|
||
546
|
||
547 J. Chance: You have repeated the standard argument for the existence of
|
||
548 a deity; that it need not restrict itself to the physical laws with which
|
||
549 we are familiar, therefore explaining the lack of physical evidense in its
|
||
550 favor. The same arguments could be made of Apollo, Hotei, Superman or any
|
||
551 of the other deities/superbeings humankind has abstracted throughout its
|
||
552 history. Regarding religiously inspired murder, you are again dealing
|
||
553 with an abstraction when you ask "Is that right?". That which is right,
|
||
554 is that which society defines to be "right." If we define species pre-
|
||
555 servation to be "right" then, clearly, murder of any kind is not right.
|
||
556
|
||
557 TMA: I don't answer all my mail, but I do read it all, and I have yet to
|
||
558 receive any from God.
|
||
559
|
||
560 Leonard: Congratulations! I believe you are catching on to a point which
|
||
561 I made long ago; that nothing is provable or disprovable, because proof
|
||
562 is an abstraction. Unfortunately, the fact that something cannot be proven
|
||
563 is not sufficient cause to believe that it exists. Therefore my belief
|
||
564 that a deity does not exist, is based largely on my assumption that
|
||
565 "nothingness" is the simplest possible state and existence is a disturbance
|
||
566 thereof; and, ergo, that there are many more human conceptions that do
|
||
567 not exist beyond that realm than otherwise. Thus, statistically speaking,
|
||
568 unless evidence indicates otherwise, the probability of something existing
|
||
569 beyond the realm of conceptualization is infinitessimal. Perhaps there is
|
||
570 hope!
|
||
571
|
||
572 FOTI: Of what doest thou speaketh?
|
||
573
|
||
574 Walrus: Enlightenment is a journey upon which I surmise you have already
|
||
575 embarked. (Perhaps I should consider the fortune cookie business.)
|
||
576
|
||
577 Mr. Tim: My condolences to you too regarding 66/40.

THIS PUT YOU OFF THOUGH. (CHECK THE TIME, I AM NOT 100% SURE OF IT)
|

588
|

|

589
|

ON THE RELIGION ARGUMENT (RELIGIOUS MURDER, ETC.). MY BELIEF IS THAT
|

590
|
||
YOU (EMPHASIZE YOU) CAN BELEIVE ANYTHING YOU WANT JUST SO LONG AS YOU
|
||
591
|
||
DONT FORCE IT ON ANYONE ELSE (ESPECAILLY THOSE UNABLE TO KNOW ALL THE
|
||
592
|
||
FACTS OR UNDERSTAND THEM). THOUGH DISCUSSING VEIWS IN A SITUATION SUCH
|

593
|

AS THIS IS GREAT.
|
||
594
|

|

595
