You hadn't noticed?

How is a photon a particle and a wave function at the same time? How did the Universe derive from nothing? Mention the Bulk and win a prize.

Ah, I see, you use the concept of "god" as a place holder for everything you don't understand.

And I see you divert attention anytime you cannot answer a question honestly. Hitch, you're a scientist, you should have more intellectual honesty.

Grow some integrity and we'll talk. But you didn't mention the Bulk. No prize.

What's your question, then?

No. Like I said, grow some integrity first.

Explain about what you asked me, thinking it was going to be past my ability. Explain why exactly you asked me. Then answer the question about the photon, AND explain why you ducked out on it.

Then we'll talk.

Ok.
Like I said, grow some integrity first.
I'll work on that.
Explain about what you asked me, thinking it was going to be past my ability. Explain why exactly you asked me.
You ok?
Then answer the question about the photon,
You'd like me to explain the properties of a particle wave?
Here, bone up:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave–particle_duality
BTW, I checked the references, failed to see the#@goddidit study.
AND explain why you ducked out on it.
Sorry, didn't realize you were serious.
Then we'll talk.
Sure thing. I won't hold my breath though, as I'm not sure you can offer much in the way of a proper argument.

Since you have not responded with anything other than evasions and false feints, I'll take my chances.

This is very easy. Both space time and quantum mechanics are myths. Space time is nothing more than "mathematics" used to describe reality.....mathematics cannot describe reality ever.

The double slit experiment of "quantum mechanics" can be explained many other ways....that doesn't mean quantum mechanics is real.

Like all the other Einsteins on here, perhaps you would like to write a paper, and submit it to a peer reviewed journal.

Getting a paper reviewed by a vegetable or fruit may be the antirelativist's best chance.

All depends what brand of Christian one is.

For most Christians, science is no problem. For fundies, it is a big problem.

Now, in "short ranged" radio transmission, red shifting isn't much of a problem. It only becomes a problem when we look at communication from anywhere further than Neptune. At this point time dilation and partial red shifting become a problem.

I am sorry, but this is wrong. Time dilation, redshifts, and the expansion of the universe become important only on extragalactic scales of millions or even billions of light years. You don't have to worry about these phenomena for travel and communication within our own planetary system, or even within our Galaxy.
