I take it literally but not that he rose up into outer space to become a satellite. Rather that he rose up to Heaven to sit at the right hand of God the Father.

That's fine, just thought it would be fun to imagine if we applied certain laws human have discovered in science.

Newtonian gravity and motion, I presume. You'd want Jesus to ascend on a carefully programmed trajectory so as to insert him into an appropriate orbit. Elon Musk could help, I'm sure.:D

I feel his trajectory was well-programmed by God. ;)
 
Yet many Christians are dead set against science on blind science and thus they can't see it being useful for observation of the corrupt authority we are sometimes fed as a hard to handle case for those wishing looser understanding ... thus we could get out there beyond the difficult ...

Observable creation would assist us seeing through the dark humus ...

That ide Eire will probably lead to something being kilt ... varies from the trousers worn in Franc during wars over the national conference, convening on ending it ... republican stages! But it could only be an ambiguity in the spread of satyrs ... the common demos ... that could become very negative about authority as it rests on it attitude of la-urels!

That's a range of hills in Dr. Zhivago's mental construct ... continental drift ... like abstract from out of Africa ... mankind don't believe they can survive without a Judi 'n punch ...omega onus raises such forbidden expressions ... as hate and destruction is preferred ... like omega is 2 letters before why (Y) is the end ... the Iota being a small thing in the middle where the missing unknown disappeared when plugged to avoid the whine ... about not getting the ugly Satyr the purple horse ... mauve-is the shade of death to overwhelming desire to do strange things ... purple shades against the wall?

Thus sects and sex are strange as ABBA 'd fellow ... not knowing whether to do or not to do it ... causing vast uncertainty between waves and particles entering thoughts ... perhaps even psychosis.

A physical scientist told me that -osis and -citis do not exist as they are mere attributes of form that couldn't be bought to order in his mind that obviously had departed ... in grief that thoughts could not be received by the purely physical!

Consequence is that sickness is plainly and flat out di'Zeas of the soul as quite fishy ...

Thus this string could be tied to my post on Strange Things ... but perhaps only in abstract as the mental process is simply imagination in a complex situation of lost virtue ... that some found good under the trees original sects as divined? There may be entanglements as nasty attachments ... hard in this UN- doing ... in the end as complexity unravels ... we return to natural states ... unknowing? Absence of the pain of life ... as abstract ... a dark hole in the temporal delight or wrestling with IT? That which we didn;t know as mass I' ve pass over of what we believed we did? Next book for our book group is The Snow Queen (Cunningham) ... which may reveal the truth of trance but perhaps not for those traumatized by ... knowing ... or no win ... as skeptic ... a' gnosi? Collective of gnostic it toe M as ell functions ... saliently!

Thus darkly wandering thoughts as shadows on the wall of great vast tidiness ... and heaven was put to order ... plate onus as calm water ... l' eau of plate ... on which the consumed was placed as John ... or Joan as Jainism ...

This myth too may go on ... as Beta ...

Always recall that virtue as truth is not that well accepted by those in emotional power due to losing faith in mindfulness is good ... when they found they succeeded better when not thinking ... so beit ... and thus it was ... the dark force of desire overwhelms virtue ... which remains out there ... when getting there could the truth hurt?

Does with some folks ... they just can't face virtue ... and thus the artful problem: where to put it? Does the space need to be vast?

Only to allow separation from what was mist ... or the alternate didn't get! Thus crew that vessel ... can such words be imagined due to legitimacy enigmas?

Therein the question and problem of life itself ... it must be cranked and scrooge d ... for the pain of learning without ... and there it was ... Goan!
 
Back to SCIENCE!!!

Those of you who have seen or read The Martian will be familiar with the infamous Martian dust storms. These happen every few years and have, in some cases, literally covered the entire planet. Right now, there's one going on that has put the long-running Opportunity rover in jeopardy. It's the second time it's had to weather one. This rover is solar powered so has to switch to low power mode (kind of like putting a Windows PC on Hibernate) when these storms hit and then mission control crosses their fingers that it will come up again when things clear. The newer Curiosity rover is also caught in the storm but it's nuclear powered so doesn't have the same concerns. In fact, it's helping us do some Martian meteorology. A story from SciShow Space on all this stuff:

One of my favourite things to do is to sit in a group of people with five or six different translations of the bible and yack about some of the often subtly different word choices between one translation and another.

Yes, I often think how cultural-centric our "history" is. As long as you recognize the natural bias that history is written by the victors, you can try and unskew the record a bit.

important yeah
like learning how to grok ones' BS (plural 2)
to be able to clean onez room
Know Thyself
understanding onez Shadow
triggerz etc
Then when one is better able 2 grok how onez BS creates their world
one is better armed and able to actually change the actual world (the change of which with its greater ability to hurt others)
With less wrongness
(acknowledgement of when one is wrong and having a goal of trying 2 b less wrong)

Physical cars versus the nebulous ...

Energy comes and goes for some and leaves them in the dark ... ERg Oz versus 'S' ... the component of S = Q/T ... dissipation is Kohl ... ergonomics from the physical side ... wait till you see it from thin space (a Celtic metaphor)! Entropy or entropic ... that's IHC!
 
Okay, this one was totally new on me but thanks to Physics Girl, I now know about it.


And I love that Physics Girl (real name Dianna Cowern) has made it to 1,000,000 subscribers. She doesn't get into the nitty gritty of science the way some other channels (e.g. PBS Spacetime) do, but she brings a lively personality and a curious mind to bear on teaching science.
 
Ever wonder what the surface of a comet looks like? Here you go.


This video is a montage of the images taken by the Rosetta spacecraft as it descended to crash into Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. A spectacular end to a spectacular mission.

wow yeah
i remember this story from around 10 years ago
hearing on Quirks and Quarks from the team who accidentally discovered it
glad that it appears the x rays only appear in vacuum

otherwise, eep, cancer from tape? lol

Wonders and amazements everywhere

Ty again Mendalla for being the nerdape you are (y)
 
Science ... observable philosophy ... then there is the stuff that isn't ... learned only by effect on real stuff ... like gravitas ... and light expansion! Tis a tight and mean group to get into the ambiguity thereof ... psychic schism? One half stuck the other off in abstract ... looking at the flow of sticks ... hell ova state we're in ...
 
I have known about the phenomenon of spiders ballooning for decades. Like most, I assumed they used wind. Apparently, it's more complicated. They may actually be using electric fields in the atmosphere.

 
So somewhere upthread, I probably posted about Oumuamua. Oumuamua was an object, initially identified as an asteroid, whose trajectory made it likely that it came from outside our solar system. Mathematically speaking, such encounters with extra-solar objects should happen from time to time but it's the first one we've actually observed. Now, new evidence has scientists thinking that perhaps it wasn't an extra-solar asteroid. It was an extra-solar comet!

lol
how can they tell the rockets r natural?
btw check out the Arthur C Clark foundations podcast with Roger Penrose where he spends 8 hours talking aboot his take on a cyclic big bang
