Oh, well okay I think I have it figured out, but it was damn interesting while I was thinking about it so I'm not going to explain, plus I'm not sure it would be very clear, but all the clever people should discus it anyway. CONTINUE.

I've been thinking about the Einstein twin paradox for a while. For those of you ignorant philistines who have never heard of it, it goes thus: (If you don't have at least a slight grasp of relativity I recommend finding a good Youtube vid or something to explain it because I am not going to right now) Say there are two twins on Earth, we will call them A and B because we are uncreative. Twin A stays on earth, whereas twin B gets on a fancy rocket ship (when they're, let's say, 23 or so) and flies away from earth, at a speed approaching the speed of light. After a while B gets sick and tired of space and decides to come back, and then finds, to his SHOCK HORROR, that his twin is DEAD due to old age whereas B is only, I don't know, 23 and four and a quarter weeks or something. According to relativity this happens because time moves slower for B, because B is moving away from A at a speed approaching the speed of light. Right. That's the basic story. BUT, think about it from B's perspective. From B's perspective, when he's traveling at a constant velocity, he is immobile, because that's relativity for you. From B's perspective, A is the one moving away from him at speeds approaching the speed of light, because again, that's relativity for you. So why is it that B would "age slowly" whereas A would not? If I gave this a little more thought I would probably figure it out. But it's really bothering me. Comments? Discussion?

You'll work yourself to the grave by the time you get to 100k.

Oh god, not one of them. Surely you don't like Coldplay??

Thank god, somebody who agrees with me.

Dude, stop making these pointless threads. It's gone on too long. TOO long. BTW what else happened in your romance novel, I may write the first chapter of our fanfic tonight

I THINK IT WILL HAVE WEDDING BELLS IN IT :hat2:

I orgasm'd.

Yeah, getting a fake IP address is easy shit... people need to realize they're only going to catch the amateurs with IP address traking (perhaps they should learn what one is first...)

Really? Funny, never seen a guy lying across two chairs masturbating in front of everybody in real life before.

WOW DIGITAL CLOCK NUMBERS :stunned:

I've been on a few times, even though I don't have a webcam, because my comp thinks our TV feed is a webcam (WTH) -- I was actually pleasantly surprised by the lack of penises, I talked to this nerdy guy who had the Quadratic Formula tattooed on his forearm, and an Italian guy who looked like he may have been part of the mafia, and this slow dude from Dubai who probably was just looking for vagina but he didn't have his penis out in front of the cam or anything. And then besides that I got one guy who was masturbating, but the dick was still in the pants, and only one massively scarring ******guy who was jerking off like with no clothes on at all (it was funny actually) and then he saw my PBS program about Victor Borge and he switched channels. so sad :sad:

dp...

...wow Can I request Mark not being able to see any 14-year-old girls' posts? :wacko:

Sara Nathan just grew so far apart from us :sad: She's trying to be rebellious :shame:

Why would you even POST an article by somebody named Sara Nathan? Sara Nathan? Really?

GOD I hate my life.

OH YEAH. you were cool then :thumbsup:

Ionno, honored I guess, I just lol'd really hard when I read that

mahahaha I'm tempted to put that in my sig

Haha I know, don't worry

Why does the Daily Mail use the same picture for EVERY story they tell about Muslim women? It's almost like they're racially stereotyping or something. Odd.

FINE, I can let YOU in on it TOO if that's what you're INSINUATING :angry:

You can halp as well, I can PM details we have so far to you

You fundamentally absolutely CANNOT DENY IT.
