Life is a simulation...

I shit you not. LEO orbital rate is 0.065 deg/sec. That’s roughly just over 17,000 mph.

Once in orbit, the Orbiter travels in window protect attitude (tail pointed into the velocity vector) to prevent small particles from impacting the windows and making scratchs/digs/cracks in them. However, the windows have been impacted on more than one occasion.

Radiation exposure is definitely a serious concern when we plan to send people to Mars and beyond. Radiation hardening the spacecraft exterior and interior surfaces, electrical components, and the suits worn by the crew are some techniques that are used. The Sun is watched for solar events/flares. Some ground-based products are also designed to survive a nuclear event - if that is what their design requirements specified.

There is too a spoon. I’m looking right at it.

All I know is that if we ARE living in a programmed reality of sorts, it’s glitchy and fucked up as all hell. It’s like we’ve been living in beta software for the last few millenia or so.

Or maybe we ARE the beta…

Couldn’t have said this better! the Beta version! Ha! excellent!

well if it’s glitchy i guess that’s the creator of the reality 's (me in my case, you in yours) fault.
The book/movie “the secret” really swept people up into something else. The idea that you create and manipulate what happens to you. The message was in the matrix too. These things are like baby steps in our compreghension of how things work. And this is the most mainstream, top of the barrell stuff for the masses. There’s more to it. You just gotta dig a bit more.

There ain’t no difference between a internal linkflying saucer and a time machine. People get so hung up on specifics. They miss out on seeing the whole thing. Take South America for example. In South America thousands of people go missing every year. Nobody knows where they internal linkgo. They just like disappear. But if you think about it for a minute, you realize something. There had to be a internal linktime when there was no people. Right?
Well where did all these people come from? hmmm? I’ll tell you where. The future. Where did all these people disappear to? hmmm?
The past. And how did they get there?
Flying saucers. Which are really? Yeah you got it. Time machines. I think a lot about this kind of stuff. I do my best thinking on the bus. That’s how come I don’t drive, see?

UFO’s as time machine’s has been something I’ve thought about since I was in grade school. When I was younger and I was looking at the evolutionary chart that showing the progression of man from ape, I drew what the people would look like if they progressed in the same fashion. Obviously, the head would get bigger, and the body would get smaller. Made me think of how people who claim to see aliens describe them. Larger more functional brains would evolve the head to a bigger size, with a decreased need for physical exertion would evolve the body to a smaller stature. Perhaps, they come back looking for a cure for a future disease or problem that is plaguing civilization thousands of years from now. There’s no way to know, so any and every theory sounds equally crazy or possible.

IQ and head size have not been shown to correlate in anything I’ve ever read (not that I’ve studied this closely) and it definitely doesn’t relate with animals (otherwise the T. Rex would have been brilliant).

the size of your brain means nothing (well, to a point) what makes you smart is the amount of crevices and and fissures and cracks on it. (you know how you look at a brain and it has all of those “fualt Lines” on it?) the more “Fault Lines” on the brain the smarter the brain. So, obviously, the bigger the brain you have the more amount of “fault lines” COULD be on on it. BUT you could have a basketball sized brain and have it be perfectly smooth and you’d probably be the dumbest thing on the planet. You know, like the Fat kids over at the P.A. (In honor of M.I.A. Prongs Member, Jizzy)

I’ve held the theory that De Ja Vu is time travel, for some time now. Because the the future can’t match up the times exact ,whether on purpose or because that’s just how the science works, but that would be the reason for you to feel like that you have “seen this before” if it’s on purpose it serves as a receipt, because you are allowed to go back and change ONE thing per time travel, they put you back just a few seconds before, to serve as a"Proof to your future self" that you indeed went back and had a second try at something you wanted to change.

OR

De ja Vu is you slipping through universes. I’m sure everyone has heard the theory of the Multiverse (rather than the Universe) and if conditions are just right you can slip through to another universe and another world that is exactly like yours, except that somethings are slightly different.

there used to be a belief in this country and in europe about head size and intelligence. They even spoofed it once on the simpsons where mr burns measures people’s heads with this like, ice holder thing. and then smithers comments that (name of this type of science) was proven false years ago…

Once again, I’m reminded of the movie “Idiocracy.”

“Thought yo head would be bigger… look like a peanut!”

thanks hot pants

Hot… Pants?

Nah, ignorance in this case more than likeky is indeed bliss.

Who wears short shorts?
I wear short shorts (apparently)!

I always thought Phrenology was just a really good Roots album. Me and my little brain/head.

Part one goes from somewhat interesting to boring pretty quick… I’ve heard the “4th dimension is time” theory before… so there was nothing new there but the guy on youtube makes the fifth dimension just seem like “choice.” That’s not exciting! Although, I did like his ant on the newspaper and then fold the newspaper anecdote.

Isn’t the “time as a fourth dimension” theory the gist of the H. G. Wells novel?
