Seeing the Nucleus in 4-D

[AV1611VET]

To build a 4th-dimensional Ark with its own pocket dimension?

Surely you must realize the implications of what you are suggesting, don't you?

I suggest Noah did his part, and God did the rest.

His post count is artificially inflated via "counting threads": Number Games

Not sure the point of them other than artificially inflating both post and rep counts.

Just checked it out.
Where's What Me Worry?
I have a bone to pick with him!

Well... one of them is clearly a Time Lord, that much is certain.

 

[GodsGrace101]

Yes, mam!

And every one done with my own eleven fingers!

Now, does that seem fair to you?
Especially seeing as you even have an extra finger!
And how did you get all those blessings?
Who do you know?

 

[AV1611VET]

I did, under an old account. I wasn't sure the point of them then and I'm not sure the point of them now.

If I remember correctly, you could use your reps (?) to buy things from the CF store.

You could buy an avatar, buy glasses, a moustache, eyebrows, hair and whatnot.

As well as backgrounds and objects like spears and things.

One thing I wanted so badly was a King James Bible, but it cost 1,000,000 reps, and I figure I'd never be able to but It.

You also got occupations (?) or something for the number of posts you had.

50 posts and you were a scribe; 100 made you a squire; 1000 made you a shepherd -- or something like that.

 

[AV1611VET]

Now, does that seem fair to you?

Well … after three computers and carpal tunnel surgery …

Yes, it seems fair.

Especially seeing as you even have an extra finger!

So do you -- unless your mom took Tha... -- well -- nevermind.

I'm sure she didn't.

We all have eleven fingers.

Hold your two hands up and count them -- backwards.

10 … 9 … 8 … 7 … 6 … and the 5 on your other hand.

It's simple math.

And how did you get all those blessings?

In blessing exchange threads.

When CF converted to the new format in 2007 (?), our REPS were converted into LIKES.

Who do you know?

I have over 300 people following me.

362, to be exact.

How many posts for Village Idiot?

LOL

I'm sure she didn't.

You're right. Tha....didn't exist back then.
I was born in the dark ages.

We all have eleven fingers.

10 … 9 … 8 … 7 … 6 … and the 5 on your other hand.

You're right!!!
I can't believe it!
Wait till I tell my friends!

UO blessing exchange threads.

Hey, I'd follow you around too, but hubby wouldn't be too happy about it.

Oh. And stop worrying.

What? Me worry?

I think I may have just qualified.

Nah … just kidding!

We know about genes and genomes, and how over six feet of DNA is crammed into a tiny nucleus within a cell. Decades of detailed research have given us the static, 3-D view of the nucleus. What’s new is the frenetic activity going on inside the nucleus as chromosomes move into position and genes switch on and off. The addition of the time dimension is turning our snapshots of the genome into a movie, and it’s a blockbuster.

Two groundbreaking papers in Cell explain how Caltech scientists have peered into the moment-by-moment transcription of genes, watching portions of the genome light up as they become active. What they are finding reveals new levels of design. Who could think of chance after seeing what these scientists witnessed? ....


....The really exciting work in genetics is being done with an eye to design. These researchers did not need to explicitly endorse intelligent design to show why this is the case. The message of design comes through loud and clear in the questions they ask, and in the findings that result. The absence of evolutionary speculation improves the signal-to-noise ratio.

Argument from awe.

I don't know what I'm looking at, but it's beautiful.

That is an image of a 3D (three dimensional) fractal. Here are more 3D fractal images.

The best known physically real example of a 3D fractal is probably Romanescu broccoli.

As opposed to what educatees use?

I could swear you could also buy a virtual pet of some kind on this site at some point, but I might be remembering that wrong.

You are correct.

You could feed them and take them to the vet.

One of the dumbest things I ever wanted XD, I think one of the options was a dragon, which I found hilarious given the relevant bible verses. I'd never pay for something that silly, though, and I guess the people that run CF realized it was more effort than it was worth.
