Comment I won't get one... (Score 2) 93

I've never bought and I will never buy a Snart TV. My current TV does have a RJ-45 if I care to hook it up to the network, but I have never used that port ONCE in the 2½yrs I have owned the TV. Nor does it have a mic and camera in it. However, if they become like the Snart phone then I will be forced to buy one as the 'dumb' ones will be fewer and fewer. If so, I will just open it up and physically cut out the camera and mic. Problem solved. Of course, I do believe there will be manufacturers out there that will still make TVs without a camera and mic for many years to come. Probably even long after I am gone.

Comment good and bad (Score 2) 105

I could be both good and bad.

The good thing is that religion would end because no one would fear that Hell place that is crammed into ones head as a child, but the bad thing could be that we may die out sooner because we would not fear the bear coming to eat us.
The deeper side though thinks that this might be a GREAT idea because I am afraid of heights and flying. In order for me to get on a plane I have to pretty much take enough sedatives to kill a horse. There isn't anything out there strong enough to where I have no clue of my surroundings. I also have anthropophobia which causes me to work from home and conduct business over the phone, text, email or online. It is very difficult for me to be around crowds of more than 5-6 people at a time.

Spacetime is expanding at a very high rate. In that expansion the light emitted had a larger space to cross in order to get here. Therefor it would take longer for it get here than just the 5bn yrs. I been reading your comments and some of the folks here have been giving you great examples and explaining things perfectly. It is hard to grasp some of this if you are not a Physics/science major. Take a few entry level Physics classes, shit watch the new Cosmos show(or How the Universe Works is a great one) and it'll even put things in more basic terms to understand this. I am not being a dick by saying this. I said the same thing to my mother about 15yrs ago on taking a Computers 101 class so she could get the basic usage of a computer down and it worked wonders for her. This may very well help you understand this wonderful universe we live in. :)

OH OH, there is also a lecture on YouTube, by Neil deGrasse Tyson, search for "My Favorite Universe" in youtube and it should bring it up. It's a 12 part series. He also has a more current one on Netflix. I can't remember the name at the moment, but it is 6 parts.
