    If Trump wins, will there be elections in four years or will he be a fascist dictator?

    This kind of thing is more concerning in the short term: Why the Right Thinks Trump Is Running Away With the Race Trump gets the feeling he's winning, or should win, and for Trump that makes it real. Hence, it becomes real for his followers too. The more that feeling can be stoked pre election...

    He doesn't have the ability to fire the top brass if they won't do what he wants?

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    You just said what you think, in the previous post.

    Common Sense vs The Theory of Relativity

    Photons/light are massless and do not experience time or distance. Like if you see a flash of lightning, it happens so fast (from your point of reference) it seems instant. But, for you as a reference point, it did take some tiny fraction of time. You can watch a vid of it in slo-mo and slow it...

    Common Sense vs The Theory of Relativity

    If the photon were able to be its own observer, at near light speed (but it can’t) time would not be a relevant consideration. It would just see itself along the whole path. Sort of like when you see a flash of lightning, but different.

    Common Sense vs The Theory of Relativity

    If you're trying to apply classical physics to quantum phenomena then as a workaround you could say from the POV of an observer, if it were possible for something travelling at the speed of light to be an observer, the photon would be present at every point along the path because, from the...

    Common Sense vs The Theory of Relativity

    A simple fact - photons aren’t little things that move like a brick or a space ship, in the way you seem to be thinking. What prevents you from just looking that up? Whatever the point of this thread is, it’s obvious you have no interest in understanding any of the points your question raises.

    There are no eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the New Testament

    The gospels were well put together, and got a lot of publicity. These days they are so ingrained in western thinking and popular culture that, unless you make a bit of an effort to discover more about them, they seem to make a kind of natural sense.

    Did you ever buy one of those old chemistry sets for kids?

    Yeah. I still remember the smell I got from mixing some blue crystals with something or other. I tried a few experiments, pretty sure they worked, but I can't remember what exactly. Testing PH and things like that maybe.

    If Trump wins, will there be elections in four years or will he be a fascist dictator?

    It seems likely to devolve into a scrum of opposing self-styled 'great leaders' and their coteries of sycophants and hangers on. For Trump to leave the picture he'll either have to lose it so badly his support evaporates, or for someone to provide some fantasy option, whereby he can bow out...

    Common Sense vs The Theory of Relativity

    Time isn't an absolute. You can measure time in the same way anywhere, but with different frames of reference, e.g the time that passes for you and someone else here on Earth, in the same state of uniform motion, isn't passing within the same time frame for someone whose motion, relative to the...

    Sure, why not? Just pay me royalties if you use the idea to start a religion, tho.

    @Secret Chief makes me look at his profile pic twice every time I see it in a thread because every time I think 'is that...?'.

    This was the 1800s, you say? I imagine there was a fair bit of horse dung. Did you take your field camera with you?

    Common Sense vs The Theory of Relativity

    First relative to what? Do you mean one arriving at its destination relative to the other? According to what, though? Local time at the point of departure? If the two leave from a point in which they are at uniform motion, that motion changes, if they then fall into the same uniform motion in a...
