Could you show your work? Do you understand that physicists calculate things, and don't simply make them up?According to Tyson if you want to blow up the earth, or the universe, then all you would need is to insert more energy then what is currently holding them together. I will do one better then Tyson, just turn off the energy holding them together and they will "explode" or begin to expand all by themselves.
Hawking. Stephen Hawking. I see this misspelling a lot, and always wonder if people are conflating him with Richard Dawkins (hence Hawkins), seeing as they're both godless science types...
Anyway, did your extensive research actually lead you to read exactly what Hawking said on this subject? Or did it simply lead you to a handful of wacky and clueless interpretations of what he said?
The potential of a universe-destroying expanding vacuum bubble which Hawking referred to is a property of the Higgs field. Mathematically, it is possible that collisions of sufficient energy could generate this destructive bubble. Hawking being the clever chap he is, can calculate how much energy would be required for this (about 100bn giga-electron-volts, GeV), and can calculate how large a collider you would need to make it happen. Which is why he said:
So the question you have to ask yourself is, how big is the collider at CERN? Is it bigger than the Earth? Now, we know the LHC has a circumference of 17 miles. So, if you think that's bigger than the Earth, then maybe this is quite a risky thing for particle physicists to be doing. But if you think the LHC is smaller than the Earth, then you can relax, as there is no possibility of it generating anything close to sufficienty energy to create instability in the Higgs field.
Please say more. Please let us know where you read that 'paranormal activity' has been observed. You can't just throw in a claim like that with no extrapolation or links to back it up. It's obviously nonsense, but I would quite like to see the source of such nonsense.
I managed to watch about 10 minutes of this tripe. I can't work out whether this guy is more of a liar than he is an idiot, or the other way around.
I had to stop it at the point that, after misquoting and grossly misunderstanding statements from both Hawking and Neil Degrasse-Tyson, he made the claim that 'both of them are against what scientists are doing at CERN'. The opposite of this is true; like all physicists, they are hugely excited abvout the work going on at CERN, because it is pushing the barrier of our knowledge about how the universe works. To state that they are against it has to be a lie, as he cannnot have found a statement by either of them suggesting anything of the sort, so he must be lying. Isn't there something in Christianity about not bearing false witness?
So actually, it's not that both sciencists and pastors are warning against the activities at CERN, as you claimed. Scientists are saying it's fine, and some pastors are warning against it. If you wouldn't listen to a scientist talking about scripture, then don't listen to a pastor talking about science.
Sure why not, flip the switch. Actually the universe is expanding. So if you were to flip the switch then the universe would start a "cosmological collapse" which we are told is "imminent". http://phys.org/news/2015-03-universe-brink-collapse-cosmological-timescale.html Do you really think Tyson can show how he would insert enough energy into a planet to get it to explode? Maybe Hawking can figure that out."Just".
Yes I understand a little bit of physics. It is still a theory even if you use it as a part of your daily job to build the world that we live in.Could you show your work? Do you understand that physicists calculate things, and don't simply make them up?
Uh-huh. What "switch" exactly, and how do you intend to "flip" it?Sure why not, flip the switch. Actually the universe is expanding.

You and Sheldon do not understand sarcasm do you? The term: flip the switch refers to genetics and I was using sarcasm to apply the term to cosmology. Otherwise if you want to know how the universe will go from an expanding to a shrinking universe then read the article. That is why I listed the link.Uh-huh. What "switch" exactly, and how do you intend to "flip" it?
Maybe lay off the sarcasm until you've explained what the heck you're talking about in the first place? It's kinda hard to keep up. Frankly, I have no idea what you're talking about.You and Sheldon do not understand sarcasm do you? The term: flip the switch refers to genetics and I was being sarcastic and applying the term to cosmology.
Ok, lets go back to your comment. You said "Could you show your work?" in response to a quote from Tyson. Sense he is making the claim then it is up to him to support that claim. That is why I qualified the source of what I was saying so that it's up to him to substantiate his claim.Maybe lay off the sarcasm until you've explained what the heck you're talking about in the first place?

From what I hear they have this Poe's Law where I was suppose to insert a smile face to let people know not to take the statement serious. I do not know if that is required on here or not.Maybe lay off the sarcasm

You can't even keep who you're quoting straight. I never said anything about Tyson, nor showing your work. No wonder sarcasm is proving problematic.Ok, lets go back to your comment.

Are these "sources" just talking about paranormal activity, or actually demonstrating any?Also, just so you are aware, I wasnt dodging your question on a source here, I posted it but since you had stated you couldnt listenpast ten minutes of that man's tripe in the video provided (as you referred to it) having decided against listening to the rest of the video you missed it. That was the source of those words you claim you want to see (but you really dont). And I only chose him as a source (not of all the information) but rather a better conveyer of the same (in more simpler terms) having chosen him for the reason I had stated only.
And so as it pertained to my mention of this paranoral activity followed up by my saying, and "that is all I will say" it was because I was only mentioning what was was provided in the vid, a recap of what I heard (and who gave more of an overall to what I was hearing in alot of the other videos).

You replyed "Just". So if you want to go back and start all over again then tell me what you mean by the word "Just".joshua 1 9>

It's not Scalia's job to raise your children. If they're your children, then it's your job to be their parent.The brower requires you to set your preferences when you first use it. It is little more then clicking on a button that is no different then any other button your clicking on. So your actually making my point for me that the supreme court is not providing adequate protection for our youth, here in this country and around the world.
Let's take it from the top...You can if you want, that is fine with me. Only problem with your logic is that I am not making any claims. I have no interest in making any claims. So that pretty much just leaves you to having to deal with your own shadow. No reason to get me involved in it.
At least that makes sense, we can clearly see where where demons are loosed on the earth through the internet. With no small thanks to the US Supreme Court.
The towers are still there in iraq. During the gulf war the soldiers liked to go to those sites to have their photo taken in front of the ruins at the archeological sites. We do not know much about what happened there. There is very little written history from that point in time. What we have in our Bible is very brief.
Kat Kerr talks about portals and she also talks about demons. I don't know as much about it as she does.
Concerning dungeons and dragons. Isis is controlling that part of the world now. So I am sure there are lots of stories of that sort of thing going on. Daughters sold into sex slavery if the Father can not pay her ransom and that sort of thing.
There have been a lot of cases before the supreme court that has opened up the internet for porn. Here is a overview of some of them. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/porn/prosecuting/overview.html
Do you really not know how the browser software works on your computer? If you want to block your computer so no one can use it to look at porn, then they have a software you can buy for that. Otherwise the porn is blocked by default so that you have to click on a button to view material that results in the ruin of many people.
What do I care what their lame reason or supposed justification was. The result is still the same. The supreme court struck down the laws designed to protect children from being exposed to pornography and other internet filth and debauchery. They failed to do their job of protecting our youth from defilement.
I don't know...you tell us - you brought the topic up.Again what does this have to do with Cern and the supposed opening of portals?
How do you search on Youtube or elsewhere, looking to find out what is happening at CERN, and end up at a video of that pastor? What search terms do you need to enter to reach that video? There are so many genuine videos out there of people talking about the experiments that are being done in the LHC, and about what they teach us; why not watch those? The LHC is an extremely complicated experiment at the cutting edge of science - what would an unqualified pastor know of it?When posting the pastor on it I explained why I did, and it had nothing to do with communicating with the athiest but for the christian to search it out. And as I even stated I could have spun the bottle and landed on that pastor, I was not too picky or even pushing the man (or whatever his doctrine or church)
I already posted Hawking's exact comments earlier in this thread, in response to a different post.what I wanted was someone who mentions the scientist the videos were mentioning (who I dont know)
If you really wanted to inspire your fellow Christians to research for themselves what is happening at CERN, then why didn't you post any links or videos to what is actually happening there, rather than only posting a bunch of unsubstantiated drivel from people who clealry don't have the first idea about the experiment or the science behind it?However, if you werent a christian and you arent encouraged to look, and just want to tell me about my spelling, or that you cannot get through a 30 minute video (and want to wrangle with me) Im not interested as I know nothing more then what I spent all night searching out, and if anyone feels its unimportant to look into thats between themselves not me, do what you want.
What is still a theory? Physics?Yes I understand a little bit of physics. It is still a theory even if you use it as a part of your daily job to build the world that we live in.
An example is color theory. It is just a theory but we use color theory and the color wheel all the time.What is still a theory? Physics?
And "still" suggests there is somewhere left to go, on the scale of certainty, beyond a theory. There isn't.
