- woohoo, another thing we invented! mankind!!! lol_niko
- Greek is https://en.wikipedia…sonnde
- well, not really. Greeks were already messing the Phoenician alphabet in the 8th c.BC. Punic was a Phoenician dialect that evolved around the same time.Gnash
- but I get your point.Gnash
- but the greeks were already speaking porto-greek, they just 'appropriated' the phoenician letter forms to illustrate their wordsGnash
- you said something about gentrifying?sonnde
- did I?Gnash
- I'll let you figure that one out.sonnde
- linguistic evolution ≠ gentrificationGnash
- social engineering via connotative linguistics = gentrification ... you said appropriate, if greeks are so dope why not invent something ... they are childrensonnde

- I'm not familiar with connotative linguistics - i'll look it up. I only put 'appropriated" in quotes because of the recent social memeGnash
- greeks invented tons of stuff -- including HUMANITY! hence the initial post!Gnash

- Don't feed the troll, there is no connection between Greeks and Punic no matter what son of ham claims. He's trying to say black people rule_niko
- Even though carthigeans and phoneceans werent black. Then he has the audacity to question the contributions of Greeks to the world? L o fucking L_niko
- Plus clearly the phonecean alphabet is older than the Greek but it was invented by a Greek living in phoenecia at the time :)_niko
- and the phoenecians borrowed from the egyptians, who borrowed from someone else all the way down the line to the first people 7.2 million years ago in Greece._niko

TIME FLIES (BUT NOT IF YOU'RE A FLY) To a fly, an incoming swat appears to move in slow motion (as many would-be bug killers have suspected all along). That's because flies process about four times more visual information per second than humans do—they see 250 frames per second to our 60

First object teleported to Earth's orbit
Chinese researchers have teleported a photon from the Gobi desert to a satellite orbiting five hundred kilometres above the earth.
This is achieved through quantum entanglement, a process where two particles react as one with no physical connection between them.

I good analogue of quantum entanglement not breaking the speed of light law...
The way people get around the idea that entanglement implies instantaneous communication is that no actual information is passed when the entangled particles affect each other. The argument is as follows (using a non-QM example):
Say you agree to send out two beams of light to your two friends who live on opposite sides of the galaxy (you live in the middle). Ahead of time you tell them that if one of the beams of light is red the other will be blue. So you send the blue beam to your friend on one side and immediately she knows that your other friend is receiving a red beam at the same time. Aha! You say, my friends have now communicated at a speed faster than the speed of light and violated relativity, but no real information has been passed between them. You have told both of them at a normal sub-luminal speed about what you just did and that's all. (A way of proving there's no faster than light communication is that you could lie and send them both the same coloured beam of light and they would never know!).
With QM is gets a bit more complicated because theoretically no-one knows the state of the particle until it has been observed, but you still cannot affect the state of the particle so the argument is the same.

pretend that dot above is the current size of the universe. How far it has expanded from the big bang until now, 13.82 billion years later. Your screen represents the void that it is expanding into.
Actually the space in the room that you are in, or the space of the entire planet or the space of the universe itself compared to that dot above represents the infinite space that our universe can expand into.
Now what's to say that there isn't another dot 1km away, or 100 km away or a million km away. What's to say that there isn't billions of these dots stretching endlessly into the infinite void.
I've woken up in a cold sweat the past couple of days struggling with the concept of the nothingness before the big bang(s).
How did energy, gravity and everything else arise from nothingness. If there is time after the big bang, was there time before? how much?

the word expanding is incorrect. the proper term would be stretching. the universe is stretching just how a balloon stretches when filled with air.
imagine that you draw a number of dots on a balloon. as you pump air in, the dots start to separate and the distance between them increases. this scenario is what's currently happening in the universe.
better explained here:
http://curious.astro.cornell.edu…- what about pre-Great Inflation?detritus
- from what I've read it could be that the universe was a small dense object held in check by gravity. then a high energy event occurred to overcome gravity.dorf
- try reading Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene. It's a little dense at times but provides good explanation of concepts.dorf
- when u chase a rainbow is it expanding. i think our concepts of beginnings/ends are incorrect. we think of the things as static and solid, but they never are.********
- time and space I always think of as a rainbow. no beginning no end because both are dynamic and relative. tomorrow is yesterday. does it matter********
- but i also played with the idea that there was a beginning and an end. which would mean there is no infinite. which might fuck math up. need a symbol that means********
- almost infinite but not infinite in that it might take near infinite decimal spaces but cant be infinite. but how do u measure something near infinite? a super********
- computer to run for 1000s year to register a final near infinite number. than their is language and time. many cultures dont have language to perceive time********
- i really liked the movie arrival with its focus linguistics and time. How linguistics define time and cultures like hopi see it differently.********
- perhaps we have used language wrong to give time a now before and after which altars our perception of it and approach. its convenient for dates though********
- ^ why didn't you just write that in a separate post?dorf
- more of an off the cuff comment. not really deserving of a post for a thread bump********
- A balloon is 'expanding' when it's blown up. Stretching... Expanding.... Semantics********

Human Footprints Found In Greece Almost 6-Million-Years-Old, Could Challenge Theories Of Human Evolution
A new discovery of early human footprints in Greece doesn’t just stand out because the footprints are said to be close to 6-million-years-old. Instead, it’s because of where the footprints were spotted, as the findings could challenge the accepted theory that humanity began in Africa and didn’t spread out to other continents until millions of years later.
