I don't know what they mean by "man made". I just heard the rumor "as is" :)

Is there anyone who doesn't agree with Einstein's famous mass-energy relation E=M*C*C

If my parents had never met, I would not have been born, right?

Also the same for my grandparents on both sides; great grandparents and so on. So it seems that I was extremely "lucky" probability wise to ever have been born, since if any one of my ancestors never met their future "spouse" I (as I am now) wouldn't exist

..so the odds seem one in, I don't know, billions that I (defining "I" as the result of all those specific pairings) being born, and so I beat the odds...

BUT--this is true of course for everyone--and not just everyone who lives now, but who EVER lived, so the odds that each of us to have ever been born, multipled all together seem so incredibly vanishingly small, that it seems that some other explanation is necessary--?

Maybe even the opposite--in that if it is too unlikely to believe that something one out of a trillion to the trillionth power occurred, maybe instead it was 100%, or "had to be" the case...

Thoughts?

The fusion in sun causes it to glow and we see it. If we consider just one point in time can we explain the process as follows...

1. all the photons form a thick sphere around the sun and start to expand just like a baloon which is being inflated.

2. As a baloon gets bigger, the material of the baloon gets thinner and thinner, similarly the density (or intensity) of the photons in that imaginary sphere also gets thinner (or less intense)

3. is the process something similar to what i have mentioned above??

Light being both a particle and wave is killing me......i hope some expert might help me out.

Or what is the formula supposed to find out?
(this formula is used on a graph, note the "x" and "y")
y-y would be the highest-the lowest and x-x would follow the same pattern.

Earth revolves around the Sun once every year, or 365.25 days (most people use a 365-day calendar and take care of the extra 0.25 day by adding a day to the calendar every four years, creating a leap year)

I'm looking for an adjective for "time" in the same way that "spatial" is an adjective for "space."

I have tended toward using the adjective "chronic" but it has its other meaning which makes this adjective a bit problematic. Do you know of an adjective that could fill in for ?? that would work well? The adjective "chronological" doesn't seem right to me, but if you can make a case for it, please do. :)
