Will the Plane Take-Off

[Countertrey]

And the plane flew.

And the plane flew.

You have no proof of that. Photons move wharever they oberve so there's no way to discover or verify where a given object is, ever.

Talking a load of complete and utter arse is not going to alter the facts. I suspect you're just being silly. What nobody knows is whether it's deliberate or not.

Just wondering what kind of marinade to use for crow...???

'Gratz to Counter-trey and assoc. for an intelligent debate w/ the added plus of actually being correct.

Another time, another debate...

From one Airedale to another... very gracious, sir! Thank you.

You need to get out more.

That wasn't a treadmill. It was a moving tarp. just kidding.

I hasten to repeat: Newtonian principles have been overthrown now for the greater part of a century.

And they weren't overthrown, but merely put into context.

No, overthrown. Einstein showed that time is illusory, that space is curved, and that larger masses have no attraction for smaller ones. After that, there were the uncertainly principle, discoveries that sub-atomic particle do not behave according to Newtonian physics, string theory, etc.

True enough, but I get out quite enough to avoid reading that stuff, thanks very much. A load of very impressive nonsense, but a load of arse nevetherless. And nobody can convince me otherwise, because I have no idea whatsoever what it's talking about. Furthermore, I doubt there are more than three people in the World who have any idea what it's all about, and they're all making money from it, and have little interest in explaining it to the rest of us.

Besides, the plane flew, and changing the subject won't help.

Indeed, sub atomic particles do not behave according to Newtonian physics, at least that's what those among us who claim to know how sub atomic particles behave have been saying.

Time is illusory. Space is curved. Great, but the plane still flew. Frankly, in my humble opinion, the obscurity of quantum physics and the like takes science beyond the realm of understanding, and purely into the realms of faith. You can believe the uncertainty principle if you like, but you may as well believe in God.

And now back to the subject. The plane will fly.

And the sooner we get a new head coach and move on from this nonsense, the better.

Yeah... what he said ^^^


It does seem that Redskins 1 is rolling aimlessly on a treadmill at the moment. Will it fly?

We already have Otto Graham as our head coach, but I can't prove it.

Right now, I think we'd be lucky to get Otto from The Simpsons to coach the team.

That just about says everything. Nicely put.

I, of course, an Indian man, have absorbed every sub-atomic particle of quantum physics, illusory time, and indeterminate space, as well as chaos theory, as a result of having watched many Redskin games. Is Joe Gibbs driving the plane?

"Put in context" is a lot better than "overthrown." How about we let Einstein himself explain:

"Creating a new theory is not like destroying (overthrowing) an old barn (Newton)and erecting a skyscraper (relativity) in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain, gaining new and wider views, discovering unexpected connections between our starting points and its rich environment. But the point from which we started out (Newtonian barn) still exists and can be seen (put in context), although it appears smaller and forms a tiny part of our broad view gained by the mastery of the obstacles on our adventurous way up."

I know he great deal about Einstein and know his political needs that caused him to say it. The most ingeniously ingenuine part of the statement is at it's end, when he says that Newton's observations formed a tiny part of the broad view gained by "the masteryof the obstacles on the way." Newton was an "obstacle" to the way up. By overcoming his error science achieved a way to the light. Einstein was being attacked by defenders of Newtonian physicas who were threatened by his discoveries and impeded his career. He was trying to placate them but at the same time was too filled with pride and anger not to use his doubletalk.

Later in his life, he denied the literal existence of death when he said that true scientists don't believe in it because they know that time is a "persistent illusion." He flat out deinied that Newtonian physics described the real world, not only in relation to dependence on the "illusion" of time but also in relation to the concept of gravity. If Einstein's notion of reality is true, Newton's is not. One might have led to the discovery of the other, but they cannot be reconciled.

Seriously? So now we know that Einstein was just a nutter? Wow. Even I didn't think that.

I don't think this plane is ever getting off the ground!

I don't think this plane is ever getting off the ground!

For some people, it doesn't matter whether it gets off the ground or not - apparently, none of us can trust what our eyes are telling us, because just observing something makes it something different. Which is presumably why, every time I see a wafer thin piece of dry bread, it actually turns into a huge slab of chocolate cake by the time it reaches my mouth.

Are you sure that wasn't an after dinner mint.
