The Isolated Blurt Thread XLI : The Day The Cat Came Back

[Richard_P_Feynman]

Yes, that makes sense. Energy first.

There's a neat thought experiment involving a perfectly mirrored, massless box containing a (large) number of photons. It's possible to derive the box's resistance to being accelerated, based on the momentum of the photons and the Doppler shift. Turns out that resistance is exactly equivalent to attributing inertial mass equal energy of the photons.

Resistance is futile

i hear no more thunder. the time for showering is here at last.

You shouldn't eat god. Probably needs some pepper if you do.

I always found communion fishy - all that body and blood of Christ. I think they just are trying to give us a snack so we don't get unruly on those hard pews.

Goes to Mass for the food; no surprise.

If that's their idea of a snack, then someone at the vatican needs to go to culinary school.

Well and to give the masses (pun intended) practice at following pointless instructions.

That's not all they need.

Animals are far better than humans.

When my daughter was confirmed, it was a 3 hour service. Much wine was needed.

but humans are animals.

Hmmm. Beautiful, but that's the kind of perfect neatness that makes me wary of thought experiments and purely theoretical physics.

But I do think it is beautiful that photons reverse the equation, as it were. It we could ever freeze one entirely, it would be massless, as I understand: all mass derived from speed.

One can argue that a stationary photon isn't a photon.

 

[HarryHill]

Catzilla! Ah hahaha

but humans are animals.

Oh, you know what I meant.

I am going to sniffle all day.

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Everything in our existence, in our reality has it.

Whether you want to look to the NA beliefs of everything being interconnected with nature as its basis or to some kind of zen buddhism.

Mumbo jumbo withstanding. Or not.

I believe everything is connected. I don't see any reason to assign any higher meaning to that connectedness than "it is what it is."

 

[pointless]

well, i had to check. you'd be amazed how many people still hold on to the delusion that we're somehow separate from the rest of the animal kingdom.

 

[adrina]

I believe everything is connected. I don't see any reason to assign any higher meaning to that connectedness than "it is what it is."

Much of the meat of life is the meaning we assign to it.

It's just a little cross border shopping....

Not that bridge!

I can't recall a single thing about my own confirmation. It's an afterthought even as it's taking place.

The only thing I can remember, is that we had a party afterwords. Oh and my dress.

Me neither. Which is weird because I remember my first communion and that was years earlier.

age..

it takes a toll on memories
