    Question on Time

    There are 12 complete lunar cycles in a solar year, so I think it may have something to do with that. Although a lunar year consisting of 12 lunar cycles would only be 354 days long. Observable cosmic cycles tend not to co-ordinate with each other precisely, which might have something to do...

    Question on Time

    The Gregorian calendar has one great advantage with regards to recording solar years; it works. There’s no drift with regard to the equinoxes.

    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    I am sure it will be a great comfort to parents burying their dead children, to be told that Israel didn’t target them.

    Great News for the UK

    As the franchises expire, they won’t be renewed. So it will happen gradually over the life of this Parliament. Network Rail, which maintains the tracks, has been classified as a government body since 2014, saddling the taxpayer with £40 billion worth of debt accrued by Railtrack. Something...

    Great News for the UK

    The private train operating companies put costs on passengers. We’ll see whether rail users get a better deal when the service comes back into public ownership. Hopefully they will.

    Great News for the UK

    Because she (Rachel Reeves is the Chancellor) didn’t want to load any further costs on small and medium sized businesses, on top of the increased NI payments

    Great News for the UK

    The entire U.K. economy needs major surgery imo, and doing that requires bold action which is bound to affect some people in negative ways. I agree that the vulnerable, including vulnerable old people, should be protected. The optics of a Labour government means testing (not abolishing, note)...

    Great News for the UK

    Most - admittedly not all - pensioners are a hundred times richer than their grandchildren can ever hope to be. My 89 year old mum won’t miss her winter fuel payment, and the pensioners who will miss it won’t lose it. On the other hand, my son and his little family are crammed into a tiny...

    Jesus and Krishna--Two Peas In A Pod

    I am the same to all beings, and my love is ever the same; but those who worship me with devotion, they are in me and I am in them. Baghavad Gita 9:29 At that day ye shall know that i am in my father, and ye in me, and I in you. John 14:20

    Unlikely either way. At best, catastrophe may be temporarily averted next week.

    Great News for the UK

    I used to think that, but witnessing the anger and division in both Republican France and the USA (to name but two unhappy republics) I’m no longer so sure.

    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    You didn’t read what I said at all did you? I said there was nothing accidental about what Israel are doing

    Who can fathom the infinite?

    God, it has been variously attested across many cultures, is found everywhere in reality, by those with eyes to see. But that’s another story. We were discussing a specific entity (the Mandelbrot Set) which is neither material nor subjective.

    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    No, I don’t figure any such thing. Why on earth would you think that?

    Who can fathom the infinite?

    Yeah, I know how wedded you are to this binary axiom of yours. Don’t think it works here, for reasons which should be readily apparent.

    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    Auto accidents are exactly that - accidents. There’s nothing accidental about what Israel is doing in Gaza and Lebanon.

    Who can fathom the infinite?

    Well, maybe. Depends how you define reality. Given it’s well defined, observable properties, the existence of the Mandelbrot Set is a strong argument for entities in the idealised Platonic realm being objectively real.

    Jesus and Krishna--Two Peas In A Pod

    Matter is the kingdom of the earth, which in time passes away; but the Spirit is the Kingdom of Light. In this body I offer sacrifice, and my body is a sacrifice. Baghavad Gita 8:4 And he took bread, gave thanks, and brake it, saying, This is my body which is given for you: do this in...

    Does the Left Take Any Responsibility for the Assassination Attempts on Trump?

    Not quite the same thing, but didn't John Fogarty of Creedence Clearwater Revival get sued by his former management, for plagiarising himself?

    Congratulations to Britain and Keir Starmers Labour party

    Sounds like you’re having a bit of an episode. Try a hot bath with scented candles - Evening Primrose oil maybe.
