Jared Lardo replied to Mark Stanbrook's discussion 'Time dilation at the event horizon of a black hole' in the group Physicists
Zeno's Paradox my ass.
The resolution of Zeno's paradox about halving your distance and the infinite number of events that go into a finite operation (before you get there, halfway; before that, a quarter; before that, an eighth ...) is…
Mark Stanbrook replied to MJ's discussion 'Evolution cannot explain existence of creationists, concedes Dawkins' in the group Richard Dawkins
Much as I said Robi. And I'm sure that if you've been espousing the same truths to people for so long as Mr. Dawkins has the temptation to be facetious when faced with the same old questions for the thousandth time musty be overwhelming!
Mark Stanbrook commented on DieHappy's group 'Physicists'
Thanks Martin.
I'm actually in the middle of writing up a piece for my blog on this theme. I'll cross-post it here as a discussion and we can get down to debating it!

Mark Stanbrook replied to MJ's discussion 'Evolution cannot explain existence of creationists, concedes Dawkins' in the group Richard Dawkins
Dawkins himself has already argued for the evolutionary advantage of a belief system to be taken at face value and not questioned (Religion) in several places including in 'The God Delusion' so I assume he was being humorous.
Mark Stanbrook commented on DieHappy's group 'Physicists'
Been away for a while... getting married and other trivial stuff like that.
I like your point Martin but I feel that there are certain fundamental 'measures' to the universe's existence that do not require us to describe them to…
Mark Stanbrook replied to Doug's discussion 'An interesting Quantum physics observation.' in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
Someone below mentions Heisenberg. Your virtual particles by definition obey Heisenberg's uncertainty law that the Time they exist for multipled by the Energy required to create the particles must be less than or equal to (h)/2(pi). They must…
Mark Stanbrook replied to Doug's discussion 'An interesting Quantum physics observation.' in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
To expand slightly on what you have said.... probably the hardest thing in all of Physics to grasp is that a particle is not a particle, nor is it a wave. It is both and neither. Depending on how it is observed it can exhibit properties of one or…
Mark Stanbrook replied to Doug's discussion 'An interesting Quantum physics observation.' in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
It is entirely plausible to create an entire universe from a quantum fluctuation. However if you tried to explain this to a 'fundie' even the least intelligent among them would realise that in order to do so you have to have a context to…
Mark Stanbrook replied to Mark Stanbrook's discussion 'Time dilation at the event horizon of a black hole' in the group Physicists
Sad that no one has any thoughts on this. It's very confusing!
Caesar replied to Mark Stanbrook's discussion 'No idea where to discuss this...' in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
Your penultimate paragraph refers to agnostic beliefs. That is the difference. No atheist should have beliefs in this context. The reason that Richard Dawkins doesn't completely and utterly rule out God is that he is a scientist and he knows…

Let's help the wall flowers join the party.
Their all ready here. Should be easy. It is true however that there are those who refuse to state their conviction on such matters due to dysfunctional norms in their family of origin (bad role…
Reality Activist replied to Mark Stanbrook's discussion 'No idea where to discuss this...' in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
Thanks. I'm in agreement except on one point. I deal with reality not speculation. There isn't any evidence that supports the existence of god or gods. The evidence that does exist actually points away from such a conclusion. Based on what…
Richard Healy replied to Mark Stanbrook's discussion 'No idea where to discuss this...' in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
I think we are in broad agreement Don.
Mark Stanbrook replied to JayBarti's discussion 'Question for the Phyicists...' in the group Physicists
Recent Adtronomical observations have shown something truly unexpected. As we look further away in space (further back in time) gravity appears to have been stronger. The differences are so tiny that no one can yet agree, except to the extent that…
Martin Snowden replied to Mark Stanbrook's discussion 'No idea where to discuss this...' in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
Mark,
Can you reference where Dawkins suggests Atheism is a subset of Agnosticism? As far as Dawkins' view I am simply going with his "The God Delusion" page 50-51, where he specifies his spectrum of probability of God's…

- About Me
- Well I'm a Physics Graduate who works in IT. I'm also studying for an OU degree or two. Firstly a B.Sc. in Maths hopefully to transition to M.Math and secondly an Open B.A concentrating on History and Philosophy.
I've been moving towards Atheism since I was about 15. I arrived when I was 30-ish and my attitude towards religion has hardened in the last few years.
I consider religion to be nothing more than the vestigal struggle for power and control of the people based on tribal mythology that was created in order for primitive people to understand the universe they found themselves in. As such it has no place in a modern society.
