right, and to think those fake pictures of people landing on the moon are real, who could believe such fantasies? (especially in trying to do so without a Samsung Galaxy 9 cell phone to boot)
-
ok, I just thought that if someone was going to re-incarnate in a different star system that the speed of light (or greater) might come into play for them? (via new multi-dimensional trig. that uses gravity measurements to find and direct them to the best worm holes for such travel)
-
but what does that have to do with the speed of light or trigonometry?
-
sounds Greek to me, or is that Latin?
-
no problem, karma and reincarnation is all based on math and is very exacting. (except for one hard to figure variable)

How to understand the Daodejing and similar taoist works?

and while we are at it, (MH) do you ever get ruffled? (with internal Tai chi feathers?) -

no feathers and no cucumbers, hmm.. a bald bird who doesn't like veggies? -

ok, Btw. I prefer the connotation of the word detachment along these lines, I'd also say that saying ego is just an idea is kind of and understatement but ultimately true. -

I'd say the ocean does not destroy foam, nor does Brahman destroy that which springs forth, (nor a prism colors of light) but a "return" of same does take place. -

from Dwai quote: "...You must destroy themind, the me, the I, and becomethe ocean. So to reach evenhigher levels you must first usethe mind, but then destroy it toallow yourself to cross over." I'd say that the mind is not destroyed in such a way by "Tao" which gave it birth so to speak, (just as Siva/Shakti does not destroy the Tattva's - nor the did the Buddha teach to destroy the jhanas) but mind can be left behind, and must be left behind to cross over to no-thing, for that is a crossing mind can not make - like not being able to fit through and still remain a particular thing. try to take your mind-self through and you loose it, anybody around here that is really, really ready for that (maybe one in a 10 million?) I'm not at that point besides it really makes the choice not I. -
at the end of this cosmic cycle karma's will be resolved one way or another - ready or not, and then karma ends and so do ego's.

agreed that it is of passing interest like many other historical things, and it would be great if they find more than one or two coins and a button from an old coat! Anyway if they can spin the story for years and still make a living at it while keeping some people interested why not. I find treasure hunting for old ships more interesting, and the historical and financial rewards are sometimes incredible ! (along with not watching 5 years of sonar scanning which it sometimes takes to find a valuable shipwreck)

Can two galaxies move away from each other faster than the speed of light? The short, and possibly surprising, answer to this question is yes. The Hubble constant is the measure of how fast the Universe is expanding today and its value has been measured to be 70 km/s per Megaparsec (a parsec is just a unit of distance equal to about 3.26 light-years, and a Megaparsec is a million parsecs). This means that on average, for every Megaparsec two galaxies are separated by, they are moving away from each other by 70 km/s. Therefore, to be moving away from each other at the speed of light, two galaxies would need to be separated by a distance of about 4,300 million parsecs. This is smaller than the radius of the observable Universe, therefore not only are there galaxies in the Universe that are moving away from us faster than light, but we can still see them! This raises two additional questions: If another galaxy is moving away from us faster than light, how can we still see it? Isn't it a violation of the theory of relativity to have two things moving apart faster than the speed of light? The answer to the first of these questions is that the light the distant galaxy is emitting today will never reach us, so we will never know what it looks like today. This is because today it is moving away from us faster than light, so the light it emits doesn't travel fast enough to ever reach us. However, the light that it emitted billions of years ago, when the Universe was smaller (remember it has been expanding all along) and when that galaxy wasn't receding from the Milky Way as fast, is what we are seeing today. In other words, we are seeing that galaxy as it was billions of years ago. The second question is an interesting one that confuses many people. The theory of relativity does indeed state that nothing can travel faster than light, however this refers to motion in the traditional sense, meaning you can't launch a spaceship and travel through space faster than light. The two galaxies we've been discussing are not travelling through space, it is the space between them that is expanding. Or put in another way, they are stationary and all the space around them is being stretched out. This is why it doesn't violate the theory of relativity, because it is not motion in the traditional sense. Note that this question is closely related to: Is the Universe expanding faster than the speed of light? from Ask An Astronomer, This page was last updated on February 3, 2016.

which sounds like it has similarities to the earlier case of the guy and his wife who are now sitting on the bench seat of his truck (after she was finally picked up at home depot) with the distance between them remaining the same on said seat while she chews his ass, even though he is driving the car at 30 mph.
-
they had sponsors that strung out a documentary program that should have been 2 hours to 5 seasons of rehash and speculation while spending god only knows how much time and money!
-
....although there would be fewer electrons for current flow and a lower voltage, thus and probably resulting in a guys trip to home depot to get new battery's at a slower than light speed - Note: if the driver in said trip was being clocked for speed by someone standing on the moon then calculating his relative speed would be more complicated compared to that of the guys wife standing still with her cell at home depot and mad as hell while waiting to get picked up; in other words were the calculations thrown off by the guy sneaking over to the tool department first before meeting her?
-
sounds very interesting...does that also mean that if we just stood still instead talking while walking (or driving) with our cell phones on that time delays in our conversations would be reduced?
-
take your pick, we are not picky. btw. if gravity can bend light can it also slow it down besides accounting for the greater distance it has to travel while being bent? (on it's way to Silent thunders lawn)

most have read the news about the big crater found under the Greenland ice, what they haven't told us about is that the once tiny creatures who survived inside the metor/asteroid before it hit the earth have been growing and evolving at that site for millions of years!! Kurt Russel came across some of them that were split off from the main metor and landed in the Antarctic - and they do not look friendly at all! (see photo) https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2018/11/15/greenland-impact-crater-lon-orig.cnn/video/playlists/atv-trending-videos/ edit: photo to horrible, thus was removed but creatures can be seen in the documentary film called, "The Thing."

can we use trig to figure that out, I've never liked that inversely proportional stuff except when it comes to being exposed to gamma radiation...
-
well dear wouldn't that mean that we too would be slowed down proportionally for mowing and such
-
but if we slow down the speed of light what would be the repercussions? (for instance would said grass still grow properly?)

as long as he doesn't use roundup or other dangerous chemicals on it and it's a legal to smoke type of lawn...
