This should settle it:

Weddell Seals Sounds

I cannot stop listening to this and I am now worried that I like cold water.

If you back up into the link, there are a few more clips with...

That's a take on the Drake Equation (=hitler in three moves, but anyway...).

However, you haven't yet taken into account the final, possibly very limiting and unpredicatable factor w/r/t to...

You should not be bound by your commitments to an institution, whiteflags. It is you that will suffer the most because of it ;)

Oh this is substance related too:

Digital Physics

Which is pretty neat, since it's partly derived from Konrad Zuse.

@brewbuck: You are right, then you are wrong.



The nature of substance is usually addressed as a philosophical question in science, however, keep in mind that the realm of philosophy to which...

A lot of this confusion has to do with the assumption that substance cannot be anything but atomic. Substance could easily have a number of other possible states (even parallel to the atomic).
...

Time is an aspect of atomic physics, which is a possibility of three dimensionality, which is the only possible quality of substance. Matter is atomized substance. So when people say "time is a...

Hey cool! I have a mohawk, but I hardly think that qualifies us as aliens, maxorator. Get over it.

IMO whiteflags is just playing bug-in-a-rug.

A commonplace, conservative philosophy of science would tell us there is nothing to be gained from hypothesizing "as if" the accepted, demonstrable...

Shhh! Ixnay!

Time is a boundary which gives us the freedom to act as autonomous, conscious beings. You don't have the freedom to do absolutely anything, however -- for example you cannot change the physical laws...

Hook!! Hook!

See! I tried to tell them all that but they don't listen.

The next step for cpjust is to realize that "empty" space (in the metaphor, an ocean) is just a functional illusion of atomic reality...

Mass is a property of matter, and space is a function of mass. "Height" is a property of vertical space and BREADTH is a property of horizontal space. Put it out now before you choke.

It's all...

@happyclown: roolling his own again

Would it be best to use floats or double for this?

Don't be discouraged, anon. We are too close now to give up. Our computers can and will evolve into the alien machine children of the future, who, acting in unison with other such beings similarly...

I am just happy I finally got my surface normals to work in openGL-- you know, for the lighting.

On another tangent regarding the Great Magnetic Field: the polarity of the earth is due to reverse...

You better watch it, you don't want that to happen again, do you?

@happyclown: and he smoked what???

ps. the multiverse was also a product of future alien super-computers, of course.


...

(emphasis mine)

WHAT???

The ship will never reach such a point (actually, I think it starts from there). This is gibberish and you, maxorator, have been defined by me as a clown and you should...

That is a philosophy. Altho it makes good sense, I would bet you a million dollars most contemporary physicists would say you are flat out wrong, and it wouldn't be hard to come up with a different...

Sure. But even a very conservative approach to astrophysics acknowledges that if the universe were to collapse (I think the prevailing opinion now is that it won't, but it depends on mass density...

Don't be so sure. As cyberfish demonstrates here, the (alien) super-computers use linux.

You may need to understand my previous post, and the true nature of time in the universe, in order to...

I actually believe that time is an invention of future super-computers, who then had to work out a timeline and process for the universe that would include us because we, of course invented them and...
