Presias, I dont think going to heaven need a door. But going to Tartarus needs a door. no offend

finalfantasytown  12/31/2012 03:48 AM Report

Tartarus lies as far beneath Earth (Gaia) as Heaven (Uranus) lies above Earth. It would take an anvil nine days and nights to fall from the heavens to the earth and nine days and nights again for the anvil to reach Tartarus.

what is the anvil? I think it is a spaceship. But what do the day and night mean?

Can you imagine what Gaia looked like before Uranus reached her? I don't understand how Uranus's blood reach Gaia without gravity after being castrated? The Sun is full of Furies and Giants.

Why did genius Zeus ingeniously swallow Metis? What are you looking for? the stars? I don't have courage to encounter Uranus in this universe currently. But when we leave, we need our family members with us, such as Cronus who carries the whole pack of genitals, other Titans, Tantalus, etc.

Time Travel and Speed of Light.....Einstein mentioned imagination; so then thought is time travel, which moves considerably faster than light.

I just found out about a new term that describes the new frontier of science perfectly in my opinion:

Post Materialist Science

Here a quick introductory video into the topic:

''Amit Goswami: Post Materialist Science''

Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-dCoRhqFDI

''Dr. Amit Goswami speaks about a recent conference he attended where a holistic approach has been developed to encompass all new paradigm science.''

Just because LIsa Randall doesn't understand time travel doesn't mean it's not possible. Besides, the way she was describing it is not the way it works. Ever hear of the Everett/Wheeler Hypothesis, Lisa? No wonder she doesn't understand it.

Anyway, there's a race between UConn's Ron Mallett and R&D engineer Marshall Barnes to create the first time machine and it looks like Marshall Barnes is winning so far. http://www.prlog.org/12001190-marshall-barnes-marches-towards-goal-of-winning-time-machine-race-as-ro nald-mallet-does-lectures.html . I think Charlie should interview them if he wants a serious discussion on the pro and cons of time travel.

Not to stir things up, but I think Dr. Randall may have misspoke when she said that nothing can travel faster than light because of the impossibility of time travel as commonly understood (ie bill and Ted's excellent adventure).

I agree that the Bill and Ted scenario is incomprehensible, but this does not necessarily preclude the possibility of travel at speeds greater than c. So one could not go back in time even if traveling at many multiples the speed of light, but one could go to far away regions, and tell them about events they will not see until some point in the future.

There is no bill and ted violation, here.

C is glacially slow, btw, when looking even at interplanetary distances...I can't imagine that information in some form can't/doesn't greatly surpass lightspeed, actually.

I'd kind of like to get a clarification here, but I suspect I'll be waiting awhile for it :-)

i'm trying to stay simple and on subject in mode and thoughts :)

I have always wanted an answer to this question. By the way I am not a scientist. Why in Einstein's equation do we square the speed of light. E=mcsquared. Does this not imply that there might be something faster than the speed of light?

Max83  10/09/2012 10:10 PM Report

This is a little off topic, but this is the next scientific frontier and attests to the power of our consciousness. From the Telegraph from today:

Afterlife exists says top brain surgeon

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9597345/Afterlife-exists-says-top-brain-su rgeon.html

''A prominent scientist who had previously dismissed the possibility of the afterlife says he has reconsidered his belief after experiencing an out of body experience which has convinced him that heaven exists.''

I have recommended this video many times before here on the comment section, but it is the best video on this topic so here it is again:

Consciousness Without Brain Activity: Near Death Experiences - Dr. Bruce Greyson

Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_qBIw7qyHU

''The United Nations, New York - September 11, 2008

Beyond the Mind-Body Problem: New Paradigms in the Science of Consciousness

''An excerpt of Bruce Greyson, MD, PhD, from the panel discussion "Beyond the Brain: The Experiential Implications of Neurotheology", speaking about how the brain does not equal the mind, and how near death experiences can contribute to knowledge about the mind-body connection.''

The Speed of Thought/Telepathy is faster than the Speed of Light. Time Travel is possible in your mind and with your consciousness, just not with your physical body.

Great interview. Really good guests on the Charlie Rose Show this week so far. Thank you!

As I said the last time I think things "acquire" mass as energy decays. But some ppl believe in creation; others in death. That's the major difference between all theories about things. I doubt this particle exists except in rare circumstances. And I'm not sure we can measure things like it without altering them. Existence is more a matter of process than of material. Herbert Spencer's gobbledegook actually makes sense: objectification is only a step in understanding. A limit to speed IMHO not only conflicts with the idea of a mechanical universe, but also that things are created out of nothing.
