black holes

[MORAY37]

If you placed a very large mirror one light year away in space, and then pointed a very large telescope on earth at it, capable of seeing the reflection of earth and telescope in great detail, and waited exactly two years before looking through the telescope, what would you see?
 

You would see the telescope you were looking through, without you looking through it.

In a hollywood movie you would see an unresolved murder take place 2 years ago.

Not really posting your opinion ever, moot, just posting things you have read of someone else's.

You mean like my opinion of you, of gameplay in AH, of politics and religion and technology and engineering everytime they came up while they discussing them was allowed in the OC?  There's easily more people on here who're less openly opinionated than there are who are more so than I am.
 Dedalos asked a simple question and the answer wasn't something you need a PhD to explain.

which was exactly my original point about some young guy without a phd contributing.

Don't know why it's still being discussed.

Contributing - Are you comparing what I wrote to Dedalos with what Penguin wrote?

dedalos, please do your research first, then try to make an argument.  I know you're not trying to, but you're behaving like a troll.  Yes, this is coming from someone with the exact same problem.  This is why I know why you post the way you do.  Relax, it's better to close your mouth and be thought a fool than to open it and prove it to the world.

Show me where I spoke to Dedalos this way.

Oh who cares?

It's an age old pastime of philosophers to annoy scientists. I'm sure you have black holes all worked out into Ns to the power of 10s and I'm just thrilled for you.

We are just in some superior beings shoe box diorama that he is presenting at school....soon he will get older and clear out his room and we will be thrown into the rubbish(blackhole)bin...there will be a glimmer of light as the rubbish men transfer us from the bin to truck....then bang all we know will be compressed to a fraction of our original size..this compression will cause catastrophic destruction which none will survive and that will be the end of time for us.

You have no answer except this condescending dodge.  Who cares?  I dunno, who brought it up in the first place?

Wow ... just read this whole thread with great interest.

Funny, but I did not get the feeling that anyone of the contributors were coming off as know-it-alls until Peguin chimed in ...

and then at that point RTHolmes took a jab back at the flightless-one.

Bat ... I don't know where your coming from, but your rush to save the "teenager" from Moot was completely off base from what I read in this whole thread. Moot never took a shot at Penguin and didn't deserve what you dished out.

I have been reading Moot's posts for years now and from where I stand, I have never gotten the impression that he is some snooty know-it-all above the rest of us. What I have found is that he is very knowledgeable in many areas and has a knack for explaining things so that it is easier to understand. If that is what is being perceived as snooty know-it-all ... keep doing what you are doing Moot.

As far as my good buddy Dedalos ... he LOVES to play the devils advocate and relishes in twisting nipples to see the reaction even when he knows the answer.

Me?     

[MORAY37]

Well, that settles it then.









Dedalos twists male nipples. 

Onward to the next mind altering question, BBS!

Hey now.  He never said male.

Well said Slap. You are right.
 As far as moot is concerned, please note that I never put it all on him. I started by talking to RTHolmes (my good friend and squaddy) and merely mentioned moot's name alongside. He has a crush on me so he couldnt resist the urge to attempt to battle me. He is convinced he can make me look like an idiot if he science-blasts me long enough. He fails to notice that I make myself an idiot from the start on purpose.
 I find it alarming that moot has absolutely zero lateral thinking skills when it comes to debating with an idiot like me. If only he could launch a bit of humour, prove he even has a sense of humour, I would feel satisfied and never bug him again. As it is, I find his total lack of 'getting me' irresistable, I suppose. I am the same as ded, I play devil's advocate. I don't really care how you treat penguin. Go knock him out. I like nipple twisting as much as the next guy.

S!
