spontaneous HUMAN combustion......

A Tunguska bump.

"A Tunguska bump."

Why not? Everything else has already been suggested. (my choice is a comet fragment)

[edwin hubble]

yes,
The effect of the observer changing reality...
This brings up one of the huge ironies of quantum mechanics:
The folks living on those distant worlds probably believe that their own history is quite real and fixed, and not subject to sudden changes brought about by our observations.

"The folks living on those distant worlds probably believe that their own history is quite real and fixed, and not subject to sudden changes brought about by our observations."

....as we are in believing that their observations aren't having an effect on us?

What I find interesting is the seemingly unending succession of surprises we get from nature.

Agreed. In fact, that's why it IS interesting!

[Jeremiah Jr]

Holy sparks

Lots of mass, lots of velocity --- how does this NOT generate a big crater?

The same way a .22 caliber round from a rifle would not leave a crater in a marshmallow with a 1000 ft. diameter. It would pass clean through.

I read some of it. One part of what he's saying is that divine enery of G_d animates the natural world including man/ animals/trees/even rocks and clouds.

[StriperSniper]

Are these what they cancelled the Crusader for? ;-)

[blam]

'Metal Storm' Weapons May Replace Crusader.

They've actually shown recently that you can cause a sort of "teleportation" regardless of distance, in what appears to be an instantaneous transfer of properties between particles.

[Calvin Locke]

What effects would it have on human flesh & bone, say, scalp & skull?

[2sheep]

>900,000 mph...how's that compare to "Light Speed?"

Heb 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

[StriperSniper]

they're traveling away from each other at about 9/10's the speed of light and if you influence one of the particles (cause it to flip with magnets) the other will do the same. Now, the question is, "what sort of communication is going on between these two" and whatever it is, it has to be traveling well above the speed of light.

I would think that if the laws of three (four incluing time) dimensional physics are being violated, the first place to look is for another dimension. I couldn't guess the way to test for one, but it seems that multiple unsensed dimensions are going to be the key to the next revolutionary breakthroughs in physics (/cosmology).

It will be proof of these other dimentions that will bring light to many of the unanswered questions we have now. Of course that will only start the next round of questions. Maybe if all goes right we can get to interstellar travel in 10-20 generations.

The way I have come to look at it all recently is that we don't know squat, at least as to the fundamental nature of the uni(multi)verse.

[blam]

"The way I have come to look at it all recently is that we don't know squat."

Yup. My son gave me a game for Christmas titled: "You Don't Know Jack."

I've come to reconise that I don't know Jack either. LOL.

[StriperSniper]

gave me a game for Christmas titled: "You Don't Know Jack."

LOL! I gave that to my sister the year before!

[ChadGore]

This would explain spontanius combustion?

Someone call Spinal Taps new drummer. lol
