There isn't a single two dimensional plane that runs parallel to the earth in the third dimension.

"Science adjusts it’s beliefs based on what’s observed...
Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved." -Tim Minchin

What makes this so incredible isn't that light might take longer to pulse a certain distance at a certain speed, it's that from different frames of reference, we actually observe it differently.

The man on the ground sees a pulse of light on a plane travel a considerably longer distance than the man on the plane. Because of the fixed speed of light from both frames of reference, both experience the event take different amounts of time.

Ah yes, I suppose what I was thinking was accelerating mass to the speed of light. As an object approaches the speed of light, the mass increases, which in turn would require more energy.

But a compression wave isn't the same as accelerating an object to the speed of light. So.. I need more coffee.

If I understand this properly, It would require infinite energy to achieve.

It's hardly an original idea, but I think I can execute it better.

This is a great quote. I like it. I'm going to repost it in a place where it gets far more notoriety though.

This. There would be no confusion, i'm certain they would've attempted this to double check.

LOL

Virus sex. It's the hottest new kink.

If prayer works, do it yourself.

Requiring belief in something that has no objective evidence is pretty much anti-science.

You see, the sublaxitives get all built up in the stars, that's what we're made up of. So you must release these through the generous art of chiropractification. Hey bob, did I get it right?

Do you think we're all just stroking our own egos here? I'm sorry for ejaculating like this but to me this is a serious tissue.

People love witch hunting. The marketing trend profits off that greatly, in fact. How often are big-box food distributors blamed for being "all artificial" which is synonymous with "bad for you?" I just saw a cheese-it commercial touting how they use REAL cheese, instead of artificial cheese. Does anybody know how we make cheese? It's already a damn process for christ's sake!

There are things that are bad for us (transfats), and then there are ghosts (this wasn't grown organically, it contains boogeymen chemicals!)... same goes with the sensitivities. It's all part of our anti-rational history!
