Politics / Army Arrests Immigration Officer, Others Over Boko Haram Links by mkmyers45(m): 8:32pm On Sep 29, 2012
The Nigeria Army has arrested an immigration officer and a number of other officials for allegedly helping the Boko Haram carry out a number of attacks According to a BBC report, the military captured the immigration officer, who confessed to being an active member of the Islamist militant group. His confession led to the arrest of a number of other officials. According to Lt Colonel Sagir Musa, the immigration official was arrested last month while impersonating an army officer. "He confessed to being an active member of the Boko Haram terrorist sect," said Col Musa. "He also confessed to having been trained alongside 15 other members of the sect on weapon handling, assassination and special operations in Niger." Col Musa said his testimony helped the military root out a number of others who had carried out attacks for Boko Haram. Some months ago President Goodluck Jonathan had complained that the group had sympathisers in high places
including government. Analysts have in the past said that the fight against Boko Haram was undermined because the Islamist group had managed to infiltrate the military.

. . . consider electron - positron annihilation, in which the rest mass of individual particles is destroyed, but the inertia equivalent of the system of the two particles (its invariant mass) remains (since all energy is associated with mass), and this inertia and invariant mass is carried off by photons which individually are massless, but as a system retain their mass.

- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy
Its Just copy and paste so im not suprised..The massless resultants is my concern...The Electro-Magnetic Rays including photon are indeed the energy i refer to not the other resultant...

Its all about sensitivity. Most times we are woken up at night by angels tapping us or calling our names physically. Its like a baby learning to walk, you develop this gift by exercising it. Abraham , Peter, Paul, all saw angels physically you are no different.

Heb.1:14, said angels are to minister for you
Can you describe thier physical appearance?

Ihedinobi:

I just read up on this. Yes, pure energy can be obtained from the collision of matter and anti-matter, but not in isolation from either. In fact, this "pure" energy retains the mass of the annihilating entities which the bolded is wrong about. That's another way of saying that the energy released is the same as the matter destroyed.



Perhaps I read you wrong, but were you not suggesting by ex nihilo that everything proceeded out of nothing?
Im sorry but you are wrong..Massless Photons are released..other resultants include Gamma ray [also massless] etc so i dont know where you got your assertions..The Matter is just transformed to Energy e.g The Sun consumes about 600 million tons of hydrogen per second. (That's 6 x 10^8 tons.) For comparison, the mass of the Earth is about 1.35 x 10^21 tons.

I sent a message asking the format of submission on the 29th of August, and got a reply early September when this ought to have ended, wasn't informed so, went through some stress to submit, and all efforts are now in vain.

Religion / Man Offers $1,000,000 Paranormal Challenge by mkmyers45(m): 4:13pm On Sep 28, 2012
James Randi, a.k.a. The Amazing Randi, magician and author of numerous works skeptical of paranormal, supernatural, and pseudoscientific claims has for about ten years offered "a one-million-dollar prize to anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence
of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power." His rules were little more than what any reasonable scientist would require. If you are a mental spoon bender, you couldn't use your own spoons. If you claimed
to see auras, you'd have to do so under controlled conditions. If you claimed to be able to do remote viewing, you wouldn't be given credit for coming close in some vague way.
If you were going to demonstrate dowsing powers, you would have to be prepared to be tested under
controlled conditions. If you were
going to do psychic surgery or experience the stigmata, you would have to do so with cameras watching
Others Offering Prize
There are others offering prizes to
anyone who can demonstrate psychic powers. After collecting the million dollars from Randi, successful psychics might go to India and contact B. Premanand who will pay Rs. 100,000 "to any person or persons who will
demonstrate any psychic,
supernatural of paranormal ability of any kind under satisfactory observing conditions." Also, "Prabir Ghosh will pay Rs. 20,00,000* to anyone who claims to possess supernatural power
of any kind and proves the same
without resorting to any trick in the location specified by Prabir Ghosh." The Australian Skeptics offer $100,000 (Australian), $80,000 for the psychic
and $20,000 for anyone "who
nominates a person who successfully completes the Australian Skeptics
Challenge." If you nominate yourself, and are successful, you get the whole hundred grand. The Association for Skeptical Inquiry (ASKE) , a U.K. skeptic organization, offers £12,000 for proof of psychic
powers. The Independent Investigations Group "offers a $50,000 prize to anyone who can show, under proper
observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event." The North Texas Skeptics offer $12,000 to any person who can
demonstrate any psychic or
paranormal power or ability under scientifically valid observing conditions. The Quebec Skeptics offer $10,000 to any astrologer who can demonstrate
her craft according in a formal
scientific experiment. The Tampa Bay Skeptics offer $1,000 to anyone able to demonstrate any
paranormal phenomenon under
mutually agreed-upon observing
conditions. A group in New Zealand calling itself "Immortality" is offering a prize of $NZ2,000,000 to anyone "who can
display an actual paranormal ability, under controlled conditions." One million goes to the successful applicant and one million to the charity of his or her choice. Finally, conjurer Chris Angel offered $1,000,000 of his own money to Uri Geller and Jim Callahan if they could psychically determine the contents of
an envelope he held in his hand. The offer was in response to Callahan's claim that his performance of a trick on a TV show called "Phenomenon" was aided by spirit guide.

Ihedinobi:

You tend to accept speculation as reality. Mr Anony conditioned the possibility of matter becoming nothing on its ability to reach the highest speeds. Before you can accept this as reality, you must first ascertain that it is a very possibility that matter can reach such speeds.

Again, I'll say that if you keep treating energy the way that you do, we must necessarily accept that energy is isolable from that which exhibits it as a property. If we must, on what authority are we to do so? Do you know of any instance where energy was isolated from matter? What was it like?

As for the ex nihilo argument, your premise is flawed rendering it a non-argument.

Edited to read "your premise......"
@First Bolded: Energy is indeed isolated from matter because it manifests in massless medium as just energy usually after collision of Matter and Anti-Matter. @Second Bolded: How?

Religion / Re: The Pink Unicorn Argument Against Religion by mkmyers45(m): 6:30pm On Sep 27, 2012
Mr_Anony:
My friend, this is exactly why we cannot define energy as eternal. We can define it as infinite but definitely not eternal. Eternal is what we use to define a specific entity with known attributes which also has the quality of timelessness. For instance, we can say that numbers are infinite but we cannot say that numbers are eternal.

Energy cannot exist on it's own, energy is only what we use to explain matter and it's motions, when it is moving, we call it kinetic and when it is at rest we talk about it's potential to move. Basically, what Einstein was talking about was that the faster a body moves, the more it sheds it's mass until it becomes so small and disappears emitting energy (light). However, since the speed of light was the highest speed known to einstein, smallest particle known to einstein was then the photon. If the photon could move even faster, then it would tend even closer and closer to nothingness i.e. no mass and consequently no energy.
Are you falling back to concede the existence of nothingness so as to avoid agreeing that energy is eternal? which one? Energy is timeless..They had to be energy pre-big bang [hot and densed up medium].
There was no mass at the instant of the Big Bang, just the first infinitesimal bit of space and Pure energy. The first mass appeared after
the Big Bang event when the
universe had cooled enough
for the first subatomic
particles to form.
Or are you insinuating that the universe once had ZPEF=0? Hence possible ex-nihilo?

Ihedinobi:

If it is a fundamental entity, should it not be capable of isolation from the things that possess it? Can energy exist in isolation from "all things"?
Energy is best seen by its manifestations which we know to be eternal and constant [never changing]. Some energy manifestations are not material thats why i used the entity tag in abstract..
