Evidence of miracles.

No.

OK then. I thought I remembered you writing something like that. Perhaps it was someone else.

Yawn. Last I checked, the sun shines over the entire planet... Why only a small number of people allegedly saw... something ... Isn't terribly impressive.

There is so much wrong with your assumptions , physics and metaphysics it’s hard to know where to start.

You do not experience the sun directly. It is a projection through your senses. So the fact that some can experience it objectively differently does not demand all in the world experience the same.

It is sufficient that the experience was enough to make all the newspapers as a unique phenomenon witnessed by all that neither repeated before or after , that makes it extraordinary.

It was also physical not just experiential because of the ground drying when the sun was perceived to approach the earth.

That the extraordinary , in this case unique, happened at the prophesied time place and date , breaks the physics model as we know it.

But what is physics anyway? Just a codification of what is normally observed. Nothing precludes it behaving differently. It did at Fatima.

No you didn’t

I am a post grad math modeller and physicist. Done all sorts from hush hush Military to ESA projects before there was an EU to mess it up, including running a large team of astrophysicists.

Which is why I commented on another thread how the enthusiasm at NASA is real. Why wouldn’t it be? When you get well paid to indulge a hobby. Trouble is the things that make them interested , also make it a nightmare to focus on getting stuff done, which is perspiration not inspiration and often not fun at all. It also has consolations. Going to some of the worlds highest volcanoes is one of them.

As an aside, on a work trip, I have stood at the mirador 400m from where the new la palma volcano is. Mauai is much nicer. Except it has sharks.

Being a math modeller is why I occasionally write insightful things on math modelling, and how Dawkins should S T F U about climbing mount improbable. Like most things he knows nothing about it.

OK, that's what it was. Perhaps my confusion is that the term "post grad" has no particular meaning to me.

Then he's definitely drunk if he's seeing O-rings crossing the road.

Touché!

 

[AV1611VET]

Is that birth control?

Just the opposite!

It means they made it through high school or college with a passing grade.

Actually, only half of the planet at a time. It's that whole thing about the Earth being spherical.

Don't get me started on that anti-flat narrative, you sheep!

 

[TLK Valentine]

So don't.

You do not experience the sun directly. It is a projection through your senses. So the fact that some can experience it objectively differently does not demand all in the world experience the same.

The word you're avoiding is "subjectively."

It is sufficient that the experience was enough to make all the newspapers as a unique phenomenon witnessed by all that neither repeated before or after , that makes it extraordinary.

And yet, my miracle is still better.

It was also physical not just experiential because of the ground drying when the sun was perceived to approach the earth.

Right-- I forgot you believed that.

That the extraordinary , in this case unique, happened at the prophesied time place and date , breaks the physics model as we know it.

It would have, had it actually happened... unlike my miracle, which was quite real.

But what is physics anyway? Just a codification of what is normally observed. Nothing precludes it behaving differently. It did at Fatima.

Were you there?

What kind of math modeling do you do?

 

[Mountainmike]

Every where else but here it means “ has multiple degrees”
Aka postgraduate.

I have had some classes in an Information and Library Studies degree.
What I did learn there was how to look stuff up.

No definitions found refer to "multiple degrees," unless you want to include both high school and college degrees. But, here...I'll check again:

Nope.

I couldn't find one webpage that put "multiple degrees" and "Postgraduate" on the same page as a definition.

Check my search methods here

So "Nowhere, even here in a chat room" is correct.

 

[Opdrey]

Normally postgraduate is interpretted to mean one who has started a graduate degree after completing their bachelors. At least that is the most common definition.

Sounds like you actually achieved a masters or doctorate?

 

[TLK Valentine]

Nope -- that's just your own definition... which may lead one to wonder what other definitions you're making up as you go.

A post graduate is someone who has gone through schooling at the USPS Academy.

.. and where the person in question demonstrates a significant lack of depth of knowledge in the field, formally qualified or not, they are justifiably ignorable.

Degrees and postgraduate qualifications mean nothing when that significant lack of knowledge is repeatedly on display to all, post after post (and I'm not by any stretch of the imagination, referring to @Hans Blaster's posts here).

Hans, that was just a joke.

 

[Hans Blaster]

Hans, that was just a joke.

Hence, I marked one of your posts as "informative".

 

[Mountainmike]

You mean your spin on reality?
I don’t think there are degrees in that.

Rest assured mine are real. In maths / physics.

Post graduate means…
“relating to or denoting a course of study undertaken after completing a first degree.”
Precisely as I used it.

[Mountainmike]

What kind of math modeling do you do?

All sorts . A fair amount military hush hush.
Optimal / adaptive Control, so underlying processes. Estimation. Detection. Signatures. Noise processes in electronics. Unusual semiconductors.
