Irreducible complexity?

Not really. Ever hear of kilts or knives?

What exactly is expanding in the Unvierse? I know the answer is space, but can you go into more detail?

There's not really much more than that, to be honest. Space is expanding, stretching everything along with it. I wonder if this creates a small 'force' pulling particles apart...

Right, but what is space?

 

[Wiccan_Child]

Right, but what is space?

Pass. It's a thing in which other things are/were/will be. The movement of things relative to other things alters how they perceive the length and breadth of spacetime. Somehow. One thing I've never got my head around is how one object can warp spacetime simply because another object somewhere else sees it moving quite fast. Baffling.

First of all, let me congratulate you on a conversation (non-counting) thread with such a high post count.

Question:

Ge 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

Joh 1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Wormhole?

D'awww, shucks . One day I'll have one million posts! Bwahaha...

Wormhole you say?

If the heavens open and the angels descend, I'd imagine it'd look something like that.

It'll only take you about 500 years at the rate you are going. That's why I wonder if AV is a bot

I don't think he's a bot, but it wouldn't surprise me if he has a few scripts / app to help with the counting threads.
(Though I'll admit I've use more than one counting thread also)

Not that I owe you guys an explanation, but I can assure you that I have personally typed every single number myself.

In fact, to 'prove' it's not software, I purposely leave mistakes behind in order to 'break the pattern'.

If I type 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8 in one thread, and accidentally type 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...88 in the next, I'll leave the mistake as 'proof' that I'm not using software.

Even a carriage return at the end of a number would vindicate me from any false accusers.

I wasn't accusing you of anything. I was just wondering how someone could average more than 1 post a minute 24/7 and still find time to dig up and necro 7 or 8 year old threads. (and do other things, like eat, sleep etc. )

Y'know, I've never found one of these counting threads in the [alt-tab][alt-tab] five years I've been here. How does you find them? Pixie dust under a new moon? Seven Hail Marys (Maries?) while facing Mecca?
Just for curiosities sake, mind you; I'd never befoul myself with such debauchery...

I see AV's posts there make a lot more sense than they do on the C&E forums.

Thanks!

So, you just... add? I don't get it. Where's the heated debate? The vicious attacks on one's manhood? The disparaging remarks about one's mother?

Those didn't start until the sanballats found out about my counting threads, thanks in part to Beamishboy, who qv'd them there.

I thought I wasted too much time on this forum but sitting and typing numbers to up post count has got to take the cake. The only thing I can say is GET A LIFE!

Not encouraging it would be one way to help both parties start on a life.

I'm not the only one who needs to 'get a life' then, Frumious.

Don't you think that's kind of insulting to all the posters here who do just that?

Including a couple of you fellas who do it too.

And it happens to be a good past-time while waiting on you guys to post your incessantly-long, stuffy and boring "scientific" responses to my simple questions.
