The sky is deep, the sky is dark
The light of stars is so damn stark.
When I look up, I fill with fear
If all we have is what lies here.
This lonely world, this troubled place
Then cold dead stars and empty space.
Well, I see no reason to persevere
No reason to laugh or shed a tear.
No reason to sleep or ever to wake
No promises to keep, and none to make.
And so at night I still raise my eyes
To study the clear but mysterious skies
That arch above us as cold as stone.
Are you there, God? Are we alone?
The Book of Counted Sorrows

I am a military dependant. I'm having a horrible time getting an appointment with the on base dermatologist. It's taken over two months just to get an appointment scheduled, and it isn't for another five weeks from now. I have asked for an off base referral, due to the long waiting time and have been refused. I used to be active duty and remember the "tricare standards of care" which said you should be able to be seen for urgent care in 24hrs, routine 7 days, physicals 3 weeks and specialists 28 days. I always thought that if they couldn't fit you in in those time frames they had to let you go off base? Am I wrong here? Isn't 90+ days a little absurd to wait for an appointment? Do I have any recourse in making them let me go off base (without having to pay 100% myself)? The appointment is for an ongoing condition and I don't want to have to wait this long everytime I need treatment.

Chess is a finite game. Even with all the computers in the world working on solving it (as they have tic-tac-toe or checkers), this would take centuries. How can this be solved in the next few years?

But even amongst those Indian philosophers who accepted the separation of mind and body and argued for the existence of the soul, there was considerable dedication to the scientific method and to developing the principles of deductive and inductive logic. From 1000 B.C to the 4th C A.D (also described as India's rationalistic period) treatises in astronomy, mathematics, logic, medicine and linguistics were produced. The philosophers of the Sankhya school, the Nyaya-Vaisesika schools and early Jain and Buddhist scholars made substantial contributions to the growth of science and learning. Advances in the applied sciences like metallurgy, textile production and dyeing were also made.

In particular, the rational period produced some of the most fascinating series of debates on what constitutes the "scientific method": How does one separate our sensory perceptions from dreams and hallucinations? When does an observation of reality become accepted as fact, and as scientific truth? How should the principles of inductive and deductive logic be developed and applied? How does one evaluate a hypothesis for it's scientific merit? What is a valid inference? What constitutes a scientific proof?

These and other questions were attacked with an unexpected intellectual vigour. As keen observers of nature and the human body, India's early scientist/philosophers studied human sensory organs, analyzed dreams, memory and consciousness. The best of them understood dialectics in nature - they understood change, both in quantitative and qualitative terms - they even posited a proto-type of the modern atomic theory. It was this rational foundation that led to the flowering of Indian civilization.

This is borne out by the testaments of important Greek scientists and philosophers of that period. Pythagoras - the Greek mathematician and philosopher who lived in the 6th C B.C was familiar with the Upanishads and learnt his basic geometry from the Sulva Sutras. (The famous Pythagoras theorem is actually a restatement of a result already known and recorded by earlier Indian mathematicians). Later, Herodotus (father of Greek history) was to write that the Indians were the greatest nation of the age. Megasthenes - who travelled extensively through India in the 4th C. B.C also left extensive accounts that paint India in highly favorable light (for that period).

Intellectual contacts between ancient Greece and India were not insignificant. Scientific exchanges between Greece and India were mutually beneficial and helped in the development of the sciences in both nations. By the 6th C. A.D, with the help of ancient Greek and Indian texts, and through their own ingenuity, Indian astronomers made significant discoveries about planetary motion. An Indian astronomer - Aryabhata, was to become the first to describe the earth as a sphere that rotated on it's own axis. He further postulated that it was the earth that rotated around the sun and correctly described how solar and lunar eclipses occurred.

Because astronomy required extremely complicated mathematical equations, ancient Indians also made significant advances in mathematics. Differential equations - the basis of modern calculus were in all likelihood an Indian invention (something essential in modeling planetary motions). Indian mathematicians were also the first to invent the concept of abstract infinite numbers - numbers that can only be represented through abstract mathematical formulations such as infinite series - geometric or arithmetic. They also seemed to be familiar with polynomial equations (again essential in advanced astronomy) and were the inventors of the modern numeral system (referred to as the Arabic numeral system in Europe).

The use of the decimal system and the concept of zero was essential in facilitating large astronomical calculation and allowed such 7th C mathematicians as Brahmagupta to estimate the earth's circumferance at about 23,000 miles - (not too far off from the current calculation). It also enabled Indian astronomers to provide fairly accurate longitudes of important places in India.

The science of Ayurveda - (the ancient Indian system of healing) blossomed in this period. Medical practitioners took up the dissection of corpses, practised surgery, developed popular nutritional guides, and wrote out codes for medical procedures and patient care and diagnosis. Chemical processes associated with the dying of textiles and extraction of metals were studied and documented. The use of mordants (in dyeing) and catalysts (in metal-extraction/purification) was discovered.

I personally don't believe that the Bible is the only scripture that can teach us spiritual knowledge. There are scriptures that are thousands of years older that exist today, and can take a lifetime to read and study. Anyone out there familiar with any of these scriptures?

I am verrry shy to the point where I avoid going out, hanging out with people, social situations. I always think everyone is better than me and that everyone is thinking bad things about me. Sometimes I get so deprssed I just cry out of no where, get really upset and angry over nothing, and at worst I feel like dying. I am so scared of that 'point' my depression takes me, I can't even sleep I just stay up crying wondering why the hell I'm alive. Then it's over and I'm laughing over everything, joyfull, laughing out of no where, feel jittery, then this turns into fear, fear of everything, things that I can't even tell are real or not!! I could go on about things but PLEASE if anyone knows anything about mental health please help me...

According to the www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html 299,161,274 that’s ~300 million, if you take the number of people who are over 18, gave 1 million dollars each to our citizens, the first to get this money would be veterans, and go from there, then you take some basic requirements such as no felons, druggy, and other dregs of the U.S., also nobody who rich already, this would leave ~140 million people probably less, this one time gift would solve so many problems. Some may say won't work but wouldn't you like a chance to live well. in 2 days of paying for the war you could make millionaires out of so many who would benefit so much better than spending it on war, Drop the bomb and see if the terrorist stop their sh*t.
