Random Thought Thread

Okay....so I'm having bad luck with with my HTC phones...

As I mentioned before, my HTC M8 croaked. Now the screen on my old HTC M7, bowed, and is trying to pop off. The phone is still working, but now I have tapped the sides of the phone with tape.

Now I'm starting to seriously question the quality of HTC devices.

My friend from work, as I mentioned, has recommended to me that that I get a Nexus 6.

So, here's what I am considering....

Purchase the Nexus 6 on the Sprint Easy Pay program, (if it gets repaired by HTC) keep the repaired HTC M8 as my backup phone, and get rid of the HTC M7.

The other option would be to simply keep using my HTC M7 until my HTC M8 comes back from the repair shop, and the simply switch back to my HTC M8.

So my questions for discussion are this...

What do you all think about the Nexus 6?

Do you you all think that the Nexus 6 is a good upgrade or replacement for the HTC M8?

Let me know your thoughts.

I like her reviews.


I wonder if the battery is swelling in your M7 and causing the screen to bow.
 
also...If Einsteins theory of relativity is correct ..and past present future is simultaneous...and pretty much unchangeable...then how does evolution fit in? and what about Quantum mechanics? and what about string theory and what about at least 11 dimensions...personally, I think he was wrong

I have wondered that myself.

I have not had time to take the phone to a Sprint repair shop.

But it is one of the reasons I am ready to get rid of my M7.
 
And what about black holes? He thought you could time travel so to speak through a black hole
But.. That makes no sense if time is an illusion
Hmmmm
Plus .. The universe is expanding at an accelerated rate
So ... Why? And is it really? If time is merely an illusion? And why do some particles behave totally unpredictable and random until observed?? Freaky sh[emoji13]t
Ok that's my physics ramble for the day:)
Ask my family how fun I am when I'm Ina roll:):)
 
So here's my theory of everything:) hawking is a narcissistic idiot btw
Matter is an illusion
It's the only thing that connects all the dots and makes sense
You're welcome:)
*drops the mic !! Hahaha

But I didn't! I said I know it:... it's kind of like on the play ground where I say sing
I know a secret and I'm not telling you and stick my tongue out for emphasis :D

Oh, sorry. I was just caught up in the whirlwind of knowledge you were dropping. I was just hoping to stop you from causing world wide chaos. Imagine a world where just anyone could make movie theater popcorn.

Doing nothing all day takes a lot of hard work. It is exhausting.

Honestly though, if people were more like dogs, I would have much more respect for them.

Incorrect.

It's easy to teach and learn relative time.

Paper and pencil.

Draw a line down, say, three inches.

At a constant speed, follow that line up, down, up down.

After you have a constant rhythm, pull the paper from the left at a constant speed.

Your line becomes a diagonal to the right and it takes you longer to get it as low as the original vertical line.

And because it takes longer the line is longer, like the hypotenuse on a right triangle.

More time = longer line, and vice versa.

Imagine that you are a gigantic ethereal consciousness in space and you have a clock. It's a long tube with mirrors at the top and bottom. It's so long that it takes the pulse of light trapped inside to take one second going from end to end.

They're stylish clocks and all of you ethereal beings have one and you can all see that each others light clocks are correct.

I take myself and light clock far away.

When you least expect it, I go by you from right to left, at a constant speed.

I am watching my light clock while I go, and it's keeping perfect time - the speed of light never changes.

But you are also watching my light clock and to you it's obvious - while I see the light pulse going straight up and down - you see the light pulse in my clock trace a diagonal as I go by.

I measure the line going from top to bottom and I've got one second.

As you watch, you can see that my line is longer, being a diagonal, and therefore, you're sure that my clock must be running slow - it takes too long for the light pulse to reach the bottom of my clock.

On these scales of speed and space we must conclude that because the speed of light is constant, you and I experience a different version of what one second of time is, relative to one another.

Keep this exercise up until one of us passes by at light speed.

The light pulse becomes a left-right line.

It never reaches the bottom of the tube, in fact, from your point of view it stays at one point inside my tube - so there is no passage of time - and for light itself (not things), that's exactly right - there is no time.

We say that light takes just over four years to reach us from the nearest star.

From our point of view, that's true.

From the light's point of view, it didn't take any time at all - it simply eternally existed instantaneously from that star to our eyes.

Only for light is past, present, and future non-existent and everything is simultaneous.

It has to be. Because the speed of light is constant.

And it's constant because it's not a speed - it's a conversion factor.

1 pint = 16 ounces

If I want to convert 2 pints into ounces, I take the above equation and make a conversion factor -

2 pints * ( 16 ounces / pint) = 32 ounces.

Light doesn't travel 186,000 miles/second - light is timeless.

186,000 miles/second is the conversion factor to convert time into space and space into time.

It's not a party trick and you can't vote on it.

186,000 miles per second isn't just a good idea - it's the law.

Einstein has been proven right. I just now did it again, and if you followed this in your mind's eye, then you just did too.
