I've never understood why when I drive my car, I can turn left, and the car goes left, and I turn right, and the car goes right, but when I reverse, I turn left and the car goes right, and I turn right and the car goes left. :S
Lol, I'm still trying to learn the basics of driving. :S

there wasn't even darkness :)
Every conceivable theory/concept/fact breaks down at the moment of the big bang. If the big bang was the beginning of time, then asking what happened before it is a meaningless question. Its a bit like asking what's north of the north pole.
I've never understood why when I drive my car, I can turn left, and the car goes left, and I turn right, and the car goes right, but when I reverse, I turn left and the car goes right, and I turn right and the car goes left. :Stry to think of it as aiming the back of the car... if you want the back of the car to go left you steer left. then it makes sense :)
Why do i procrastinate so much?

haha but yeh.. people understand the formulation (only those hardcore dudes, though haha) but no-one truly understands the core or causes behind such.
It's like a lot of branches of physics.. i.e we can describe gravity and make very accurate predictions - yet we don't understand the fundamental nature of it.

Quantum is just another definition for a certain amount of energy a photon carries.
I guess since we studied this in unit 4, quantum physics is a more detailed study of light and matter. I am not exactly sure though.

I still dont understand the concept of time, like wat was there b4 everything existed? And when will it ever end?This is how I see it.
Does the universe go forever? If so how? If not wats on the other side? LOL.
Time (as we know it) is purely a human construct for convenience - just like length, this is how I see it.
But there is also a definition of time pertaining to entropy which throws a spanner in the works
Asking what was before time is a redundant question - because there is no definitive answer (this also depends on your definition of the word 'time')
It's just one of those things that we use for convenience, yet do not truly understand (pretty much like a lot of 20th century physics)
Post by: phagist_ on December 11, 2008, 10:21:51 pm
for all intensive calculations - yes they are. But no one truly understands the nature of a photon.. i.e how it has both a wave and particle nature.Hmm this brings me to the question: What are photons? Like literally, what are they?
They are particles and are just "packets of energy".
For example in the double slit experiment, we know where the photon starts (in one of the two slits) and where it ends (as the interference pattern) and have no idea what happens in between.
However one perplexing property (possibly of the photon) is that should we decide to find out which slit the photons went through - the interference pattern disappears.
check out Quantum Eraser. This is one of the most mind boggling things I have ever seen.

I obviously don't understand the meaning of life.
I don't understand how we can produce meaning through lots of circularity. For instance, if you define a word, you do it with other words, but if you keep defining words that appear in your definition, your definition of each of those words includes the word that you were originally supposed to define. Perhaps we have notions separate to the words themselves which we understand but are obviously inexplicable. As if language is an imperfect tool, or something.

Perhaps we have notions separate to the words themselves which we understand but are obviously inexplicable. As if language is an imperfect tool, or something.Yes I've thought this also!
It also makes me kinda depressed, because words are purely a human construct for communication (and as you said an imperfect tool) they can never really portray how one is feeling. For example the word sad has thousands of connotations/feelings attached...yet they are unique to the person (defined by experience), so no one can truly understand how you are feeling if you tell them you are 'sad'..they can only approximate, based on their own experiences. It makes me realise how isolated humans are :(

When does something go from being not alive to being 'alive'?
Or does this never happen? I remember posting a question about this some time ago and back then I was satisfied with life as a form of "biochemical potential energy". But it seems so simplistic now that I think about it. Can it really explain the enormous complexity of things? How can it possibly explain consciousness? Why do our bodies require a consciousness? Why can't everyone's brains simply 'operate' in the absence of consciousness?
Why are things the way they are?
In short, this question is the big WHY... WHY!? WHY!!? WHY!!!? WHY!!!!? WHY!!!!!?
And the multiverse theory doesn't solve this either. Even if there existed
Why am I me? By symmetry, assuming consciousness only develops as a result of life, why is it that my 'consciousness' has been placed in 'my' body? Does every 'consciousness' pick names out of a hat? That would require 'souls' to exist, and I can't find a basis for 'souls'. And consciousness does not need to correlate with intelligence, only the level of consciousness would correlate - this is symmetry we're talking about! Surely if souls didn't exist, then 'I' would be equally likely to experience life through the eyes of anyone. Either our lives are contradictions, or the cosmos is skewed (another contradiction - what could possibly skew the cosmos, assuming the cosmos is everything?).
Are humans innocent regardless of what they do?
People can commit horrendous crimes, but it can all be attributed to their environment, genetic predisposition, and how those people were raised. In the end, all humans are shaped by things which they have no control over. Does this then mean that every human is innocent, regardless of what they do?
Are we living in virtual reality?
Are we living inside a computer simulation? Is there any way of knowing this? No. But I think the probability would be quite high. Imagine... a single advanced alien civilization could create millions of computer simulations. So the ratio of possible virtual worlds to real worlds would be astronomical. Of course, we have no idea what a 'universe' outside our own would look like, but chances are an alien civilization would create one in their own image.
We could be living inside an infinite nest of matrices - if so, then would 'reality' be theoretically non-existant?
WOW THAT TURNED INTO A RANT. OOPS BETTER STOP NOW

Leaving contact lenses in overnight carries a hugely increased risk of an infection that can cause permanent sight loss, say researchers.
Contact lens use is already known to be most significant cause of microbial keratitis, a condition in which the outer layer of the eye, the cornea, becomes inflamed after infection by bacteria, fungi or amoebae.

Leaving contact lenses in overnight carries a hugely increased risk of an infection that can cause permanent sight loss, say researchers.
Contact lens use is already known to be most significant cause of microbial keratitis, a condition in which the outer layer of the eye, the cornea, becomes inflamed after infection by bacteria, fungi or amoebae.
Ewww... I guess it's glasses FTW! :D

However, it is a common misconception; for example, some evolutionary scientists impose their prejudices and philosophical views on the public under the guise of science. For instance, although they are aware that random events do not cause anything other than irregularity and confusion, they still claim that the marvellous order, plan, and design, seen both in the universe and in living organisms, arose by chance.
For instance, an atheist biologist personally observes the extremely complex structure of a protein molecule. He knows perfectly well that there is a great design in this complexity, and that it is impossible for this order to have come into being spontaneously. Nevertheless, he alleges that protein, the building block of life, came into existence by chance under primitive conditions on the earth billions of years ago. This is an irrational allegation. He does not stop there; he also claims, without hesitation, that not only one, but millions of protein molecules formed by chance, and then, incredibly, came together to create the first living cell. And, he defends his view with a blind stubbornness. This person is an evolutionary scientist.
If the same scientist were to find three bricks resting on top of one another while walking along a flat road, he would never suppose that these bricks had come together by chance and then climbed up on top of each other, again by chance. Indeed, anyone who did make such an assertion would be considered insane. How then can it be possible that people who are otherwise able to assess ordinary events rationally can adopt such an irrational theory when it comes to thinking about their own existence?
It is not possible to claim that this theory has been adopted in the name of science: wherever there are two equally possible alternatives, the scientific approach requires taking both into consideration. However, not even a single protein molecule, let alone a whole cell, could have come into existence by chance.
In this case, there is only one possibility left. Life did not come about by chance; it was brought into being by an intelligence. In other words, it has been created. All living things have come into being as a design by Allah (God), the Possessor of superior knowledge, power and wisdom. This is not simply a form of belief; it is a common-sense conclusion arrived at logically and scientifically.
So, never forget that it is Allah (God) , our Lord, Who created the universe and Who designed it, down to the minutest detail.
Note: Some points expressed here are from my favourite author. :)

You heavily criticise 'evolutionary scientists' for viewing the information with prejudices, yet you clearly do the same? Also, you definitely seem to be setting up a straw man in your brick analogy. This is actually quite a good piece to do language analysis on I must say =T

In conclusion, we must be the offspring of (http://i37.tinypic.com/14ipw60.png) amounts of them - since no animal can be superior like a human (mentally and physically). Nevertheless, darwins theory fails. Mankind has the capacity to communicate in the most superior way, build, find cures for sicknesses etc. How can all these miracle- like actions be accomplished?. Just looking at nature and its perfect form displays that there is a creator.
Darwinism is just materialist philosophy.
Materialist philosophy is the most historic type of thought and the primary target of it is to agree that only matter exists (i.e. the evolution theory exists). Hence, with reference to materialist thought, matter has existed since the start and everything is made up of matter. This kind of approach makes it impossible to believe in a God (regardless of what religion).

Quote from: http://records.viu.ca/~johnstoi/essays/courtenay1.htm
Before demonstrating this claim, let me make it clear what I mean by evolution, since there often is some confusion about the term. By evolution I mean, very simply, the development of animal and plant species out of other species not at all like them, for example, the process by which, say, a species of fish gets transformed (or evolves) through various stages into a cow, a kangaroo, or an eagle. This definition, it should be noted, makes no claims about how the process might occur, and thus it certainly does not equate the concept of evolution with Darwinian Natural Selection, as so many people seem to do.
The first step in demonstrating the truth of evolution is to make the claim that all living creatures must have a living parent. This point has been overwhelmingly established in the past century and a half, ever since the French scientist Louis Pasteur demonstrated how fermentation took place and thus laid to rest centuries of stories about beetles arising spontaneously out of dung or gut worms being miraculously produced from non-living material. There is absolutely no evidence for this ancient belief. Living creatures must come from other living creatures. It does no damage to this point to claim that life must have had some origin way back in time, perhaps in a chemical reaction of inorganic materials (in some primordial soup) or in some invasion from outer space. That may well be true. But what is clear is that any such origin for living things or living material must result in a very simple organism. There is no evidence whatsoever (except in science fiction like Frankenstein) that inorganic chemical processes can produce complex, multi-cellular living creatures (the recent experiments cloning sheep, of course, are based on living tissue from other sheep).
The second important point in the case for evolution is that some living creatures are very different from some others. This, I take it, is self-evident. Let me cite a common example: many animals have what we call an internal skeletal structure featuring a backbone and skull. We call these animals vertebrates. Most animals do not have these features (we call them invertebrates). The distinction between vertebrates and invertebrates is something no one who cares to look at samples of both can reasonably deny, and, so far as I am aware, no one hostile to evolution has ever denied a fact so apparent to anyone who observes the world for a few moments.
The final point in the case for evolution is this: simple animals and plants existed on earth long before more complex ones (invertebrate animals, for example, were around for a very long time before there were any vertebrates). Here again, the evidence from fossils is overwhelming. In the deepest rock layers, there are no signs of life. The first fossil remains are of very simple living things. As the strata get more recent, the variety and complexity of life increase (although not at a uniform rate). And no human fossils have ever been found except in the most superficial layers of the earth (e.g., battlefields, graveyards, flood deposits, and so on). In all the countless geological excavations and inspections (for example, of the Grand Canyon), no one has ever come up with a genuine fossil remnant which goes against this general principle (and it would only take one genuine find to overturn this principle).
Well, if we put these three points together, the rational case for evolution is air tight. If all living creatures must have a living parent, if living creatures are different, and if simpler forms were around before the more complex forms, then the more complex forms must have come from the simpler forms (e.g., vertebrates from invertebrates). There is simply no other way of dealing reasonably with the evidence we have.

It is accumulation of successive variations over enormous time-scales.
If the same scientist were to find three bricks resting on top of one another while walking along a flat road, he would never suppose that these bricks had come together by chance and then climbed up on top of each other, again by chance. Indeed, anyone who did make such an assertion would be considered insane.Ermm...exactly, he wouldn't. The process of life has a few teeny tiny differences when compared to a freakin' brick.

Time travel, and the many paradoxes it entails.
It makes my head go around in circles when I think bout it...
I was never very good at physics or chem, but I get both subjects, at least to a level that isn't embarrassing.
I obviously don't understand the meaning of life.
I don't understand how we can produce meaning through lots of circularity. For instance, if you define a word, you do it with other words, but if you keep defining words that appear in your definition, your definition of each of those words includes the word that you were originally supposed to define. Perhaps we have notions separate to the words themselves which we understand but are obviously inexplicable. As if language is an imperfect tool, or something.
Wow... XD
I've thought bout stuff like that b4, particularly when I've looked up a word in the dictionary and they used a word 2 define it that I didn't understand and had 2 look up.
In that manner, I think some of the most difficult words 2 define would b the most simple: stuff like 'and', 'the', 'red', etc ...how can u define a colour anywayz? XD
Oh yes, that reminds me of something i've never understood.How there was nothing before the big bang, just darkness. I get headaches when I think about it for too long. :Pthere wasn't even darkness =p
Quantum Mechanics..well, no one understands this haha.
does ANYBODY understand quantum theory?
Quantum is just another definition for a certain amount of energy a photon carries.
I guess since we studied this in unit 4, quantum physics is a more detailed study of light and matter. I am not exactly sure though.
@ my old house there was a rather young couple who lived across the street.
The husband is a nuclear physicist, and lent me 1 of his quantum mechanics or something or other txtbooks.
I had a flick thru it, but it didn't particularly interest me.
Didn't really understand it a whole lot either, given that I was bout 14 0.0
I think he gave more credit 2 my intelligence than was warranted XD

For ur question on "why we cant live forever", theoretically, u cant just die of old age. u have to have a certain condition that acts against ur body which eventually kills u. Ofcourse as we get older our body's natural defenses get crapper and therefore it becomes inevitable that we get a disease that kills us.
So if some1 was to invent something that maintains our body in a perfect state u cud theoretically live forever.

I am 99.95% sure that cough medicines sold in pharmacies DON'T contain horse urine.

Cough syrups are generally comprised of variants of Codeine, and I have no clue as to why horse urine would even be a perceived beneficial ingredient in cough syrups for someone to put it in there in the first place.

I like Chinese herbal medicine. I feel that it works equally as well (in SOME cases) if not even better than others to treat things like hay fever and stuff.Yeah it might be more affective but drinking it down is the problem (if you're thinking of the same methods of preparation as I am. I'm talking about the ones where you have to go to the 'pharmacy' and they weigh out the multitude of herbs, sort them into sets and send you home with it where you have to brew the medicine yourself. The result is an extremely bitter, nausea inducing, liquid.)

Yes, this is the kind! We have a boiler thingo for it as well. The kind I used to take (for my poor liver health) was murky brown and tasted .. sad. I had to hold my nose, then eat a spoonful of honey after every downing. The smell is also quite strong.
Very good though.

The way I drank it was through a straw whilst sucking on something sweet in my mouth. I put the straw towards the back of the throat without triggering gag reflexes and drank it like that :] Minimal taste and aroma.

An intellectual question for you all:
How the hell do you apply eye liner neatly (on top lid) without it going everywhere? :(
here's the way i first learnt to do it
you know when you put eyeliner along the bottom waterline of your eye? well, you can put it on the waterline of the top lid too (it looks better anyway imo)
but if this is too hard, the easiest way to do it is close your eyes and put your eyeliner on your bottom waterline lie usual, the only difference being your eye is closed. it'll take practice, but it puts it along the top waterline too ;)
not sure if these will work for you, but try them both ;)

Thus, missing out on the more 'important stuff' in the recent comments box. It's a lot easy to catch something of my interest through the recent comments box rather than keeping 5 subforums in tabs and refreshing all of them every few minutes. Sorry to sound like a bigot. That's why I've wished for a feature to block out sub-forums in the recent comments box by user preference for Christmas.
I might not have the right to say this as not 1056 of my posts have been completely helpful but I think there's been an influx of spammy crap recently.
Does that clear up your things you've never understood? :)

An intellectual question for you all:
How the hell do you apply eye liner neatly (on top lid) without it going everywhere? :(
here's how I do it; get someone else to do it for me.
Like Coblin mentioned the best way would be to get someone to do it for you.... or like I do it, which is with the liquid eyeliner (so much easier to use than the pencil), and gently trace over the top of your eyelid :P I guess you need to have a steady hand too, which you can struggle with at times.

here's the way i first learnt to do it
you know when you put eyeliner along the bottom waterline of your eye? well, you can put it on the waterline of the top lid too (it looks better anyway imo)
but if this is too hard, the easiest way to do it is close your eyes and put your eyeliner on your bottom waterline lie usual, the only difference being your eye is closed. it'll take practice, but it puts it along the top waterline too ;)
not sure if these will work for you, but try them both ;)
I've always worn my eyeliner like this... 'under' the top lashes, rather than 'over' them.
I think it looks more everyday and natural ...I agree that it looks better.
It's also much harder 2 accidentally smudge/ruin during the day - less chance of a makeup malfunction that looks like a black eye.

Plus, according to many makeup consultants, they say I don't need it... :)

it's easier to click show unread posts and skim through to find the threads that interest you, and ignore the others. especially since these forums don't move that fast.

I don't think it would be wise to lick your iron.
It can't taste that good :P
Irony*

I guess every1 does it a lil differently then ...I think ppl find a way that works 4 them and then stick 2 it.
...Like, if I wear foundation, I don't use a spongey thingy 2 apply it.
I find I get a better result if I just use my fingers.

How does one become arrogant or sensible? Are they born with it, or do they adopt it somehow? ???That's an odd way of phrasing that question... if you're born with it you don't really become arrogant/sensible :P
Post by: maybejustmaybe on December 25, 2008, 07:06:29 am
Oh I use the liquid foundation, and I use a sponge, but sometimes end up using my fingers, the powder gave me a rash >_> ... but normally I don't need foundation... I don't mean to brag but I have pretty good skin. So I only use it when there's a special occasion of some sort or when I'm having a bad day.I guess whatever works for you! Lol.
something i've never understood: also not bragging, but my skin is pretty good and def. my favourite feature....but i still wear foundation most days. HMMMM

Most people accept everything they hear from scientists as strict facts. It does not even occur to them that scientists may also have various philosophical or ideological prejudices.
However, it is a common misconception; for example, some evolutionary scientists impose their prejudices and philosophical views on the public under the guise of science. For instance, although they are aware that random events do not cause anything other than irregularity and confusion, they still claim that the marvellous order, plan, and design, seen both in the universe and in living organisms, arose by chance.
For instance, an atheist biologist personally observes the extremely complex structure of a protein molecule. He knows perfectly well that there is a great design in this complexity, and that it is impossible for this order to have come into being spontaneously. Nevertheless, he alleges that protein, the building block of life, came into existence by chance under primitive conditions on the earth billions of years ago. This is an irrational allegation. He does not stop there; he also claims, without hesitation, that not only one, but millions of protein molecules formed by chance, and then, incredibly, came together to create the first living cell. And, he defends his view with a blind stubbornness. This person is an evolutionary scientist.
If the same scientist were to find three bricks resting on top of one another while walking along a flat road, he would never suppose that these bricks had come together by chance and then climbed up on top of each other, again by chance. Indeed, anyone who did make such an assertion would be considered insane. How then can it be possible that people who are otherwise able to assess ordinary events rationally can adopt such an irrational theory when it comes to thinking about their own existence?
It is not possible to claim that this theory has been adopted in the name of science: wherever there are two equally possible alternatives, the scientific approach requires taking both into consideration. However, not even a single protein molecule, let alone a whole cell, could have come into existence by chance.
In this case, there is only one possibility left. Life did not come about by chance; it was brought into being by an intelligence. In other words, it has been created. All living things have come into being as a design by Allah (God), the Possessor of superior knowledge, power and wisdom. This is not simply a form of belief; it is a common-sense conclusion arrived at logically and scientifically.
So, never forget that it is Allah (God) , our Lord, Who created the universe and Who designed it, down to the minutest detail.

Man Kadz, thats to many lines to read...

Who created God? (Interpret this how you wish. :P)
God was not created :P I see God like energy, it cannot be created or destroyed, it can change form though... ;D (Well that's how I'd like to see it, I need a little more faith)

Hmmm.. I guess it's always been a hard concept to grasp, believing in something you don't see or feel is rather hard to do. Don't get me wrong you can do a lot of things which you can't explain per say, but um I guess I just don't think that most religions explain my questions properly. So I choose to believe in what I want :P (Maybe I can make my own religion ;) )
Let's not start another religion thread though >_> LOL

With ample evidence discovered by science, the thesis of an "infinite universe" was tossed onto the scrap-heap of the history of scientific ideas. Yet, more important questions were forthcoming: what existed before the Big Bang? What force could have caused the great explosion that resulted in a universe that did not exist before?
There is a single answer to be given to the question of what existed before the Big Bang: God, the All-powerful and the Almighty, Who created the earth and the heavens in great order. Many scientists, be they believers or not, are obliged to admit this truth. Although they may decline to admit this fact on scientific platforms, their confessions in between the lines give them away. Renowned atheist philosopher Anthony Flew says:
Notoriously, confession is good for the soul. I will therefore begin by confessing that the Stratonician atheist has to be embarrassed by the contemporary cosmological consensus. For it seems that the cosmologists are providing a scientific proof of what St. Thomas contended could not be proved philosophically; namely, that the universe had a beginning. So long as the universe can be comfortably thought of as being not only without end but also beginning, it remains easy to urge that its brute existence, and whatever are found to be its most fundamental features, should be accepted as the explanatory ultimates. Although I believe that it remains still correct, it certainly is neither easy nor comfortable to maintain this position in the face of the Big Bang story. (Henry Margenau, Roy Abraham Vargesse, Cosmos, Bios, Theos, La Salla IL: Open Court Publishing, 1992, p. 241).
Some scientists like the British materialist physicist H. P. Lipson confess that they have to accept the Big Bang theory whether they want it or not:
If living matter is not, then, caused by the interplay of atoms, natural forces, and radiation, how has it come into being?… I think, however, that we must…admit that the only acceptable explanation is creation. I know that this is anathema to physicists, as indeed it is to me, but we must not reject that we do not like if the experimental evidence supports it. (H. P. Lipson, "A Physicist Looks at Evolution", Physics Bulletin, vol. 138, 1980, p. 138).
In conclusion, science points to a single reality whether materialist scientists like it or not. Matter and time have been created by a Creator, Who is All-Powerful and Who created the heavens, the earth and all that is in between: Almighty God.
It is God who created the seven heavens and of the earth the same number, the Command descending down through all of them, so that you might know that God has power over all things and that God encompasses all things in His knowledge. (Surat at-Talaq: 12)
