You are, of course, wrong on many counts.

Perhaps you need a refresher on what a model is.

A conceptual model is a model made of the composition of concepts, which are used to help people know, understand, or simulate a subject the model represents.

and

conceptual modeling are the necessary means that humans employ to think and solve problems

As to there being no math, all this does is prove you haven't reviewed my theory. So how on Earth can you comment on something (let alone get an up mod) when you obviously haven't read it?

Your statement that there is "no physics" in my theory is so far from reality that I must conclude that I am trying to reason with a troll. Which I will stop doing, immediately.

No, the aether doesn't exist.

Wow, this is news. Please share the link with us all.

2) There is a number that can be calculated that describes the force provided by dark energy.

There is also a number that can be calculated for the energy of the aether. And we have calculated it. And it is 10^^120 higher than we have measured. And this has created one of the great unresolved problems in (conventional) physics.

Personally, I think the current physics model is the problem. And I have proposed a new one.

ironic is an over-used, and often ill-used word.

In this case, try prescient.

I am picturing a series of conveyor belts.

Based on your answer to the manhole question, you go on one of 3 belts -- pedants go on the engineer belt, people who give straight answers go on the general cannon fodder belt, and those who can't answer it go on a belt that leads to the parking lot.

The cannon fodder belt leads to the work-for-free sign up sheets. If you don't sign, you exit onto the belt that leads to the parking lot.

The engineer belt leads to further questions and more belts.

Could be a funny video in this...maybe made by a competing company. I'd film it in the baggage handling area of Denver airport.

I wonder what long distance truck drivers are thinking right about now.

have to admit that it's completely stupid the way chrome has 10 same-named processes in an emergency with me having zero idea of which ones will kill which tab or the whole browser session.

This, and the "use all memory" bug are the reasons I don't use Chrome. At least with Firefox I can (1) close non-essential tabs, (2) shut it down, (3) reload it and get reasonable memory usage.

Using all memory, with nothing but Netflix player running, is supremely uncool of Chrome.

So, my browser pair is Firefox and Opera...

Ahem, major memory use issues in Chrome...

The browser will use all of computer's memory. Forcing a shutdown of Chrome eventually, or total dog performance. Tons of people having this issue and clogging up the forums. I'm just telling Chrome users to do a full shutdown once a day, but this is hardly a solution.

I submitted a story about this but...oh, shiney!

Then you must really like Windows 8. Boots twice as fast as Windows 7.x and earlier. I left W8 on my laptop for exactly this reason. My desktops run 7 because I rarely reboot them.

Who here has ever gone to bestbuy.com in lieu of newegg or Amazon?

I go when my deal site says BestBuy has the best deal on the item I need at that moment. Many retailers dabble (loss leaders) in areas they are not normally competitive in. The deal sites pick up on this, and people like myself benefit.

I see your 900 TB and raise you to 2 freaking petabytes. Not quite a min raise, I realize...

Makes one wonder if his "sales of share to BBC" deal involved him staying for at least 12 months. Would be good business sense from the BBC's point of view.

Not only inelegant, but dangerous...to a non-Japanese country.

If the entirety of Japan can rebuff a giant wave, then that wave must slosh back in the other direction (instead of being dissipated by land).

So, who is responsible for such "bounce" waves?

Everything is hired out. I still can't figure how stuff gets built.

By contracting out, you get people who actually want to do good work for reasonable pay. Unlike union workers, or "set for life" big company employees.

Where I live the city has contracted out extensive sewer work. These contract workers are superb. You wouldn't see one-quarter of this efficiency with a union city crew. Everyone, including the city (and the city union bosses!), knows this.
