'sigh' Another falling soldier... I 'll miss having you around. I hope this is going to be temporary and you'll be back soon :(

Not planning for it to be temporary, I am afraid. It was good knowing you though, and thanks to all of you.

What? Nooooooooo....

Ok can some one explain how Quantum Zeno effect actually works? (In theory that is, not the mathematics behind it)

6 Scientific Discoveries That Laugh in the Face of Physics | Cracked.com

#5 is one of the simplest explanations I have seen.

A lot of quantum physics seems like smoke and mirrors trying to cover up just how much of it doesn't make sense.
That's why they are trying to create string theory, because quantum physics is basically broken. But they can't even agree on string theory yet because each different theory works in some cases and falls flat on its ass in others.

That the speed of light isn't the limit, and gravity's failure at the quantum level Provs that absolutely nothing our science is founded on is true.

Thanks to the overly political, nearly religious, nature of the scientific community it will take another decade before they agree it's time to just start over.

I really liked hearing from you, your posts were always worth reading. You will be missed.

That was pretty good, although only #6 and #4 were new to me. However, here's the answer to #4. They just had some unaccounted-for heat loss from the satellite.

You know that article is how I found out about this (I think it was number 2 where they talked about watching decaying isotopes took a while to find what it was actually called), it's just it didn't give any possible reasons as to why it was like and I knew that at least some of the other problems had theories explaining them ( even if they more than one).

I started, but I'm just too scared to read that thread.

I just looked at that thread again. 17 pages! (x2 for everyone else because I changed my settings to 20 post per page.) I'm scared too.

Like they said, that one is still kind of... Ignored.

I believe that is one thing they expect the discovery of the Higgs Boson to solve. I seem to remember one theory involving some sort of friction with the HB causing the appearence of gravity's effect decreasing.

This is one of these cases where "theory" is a pretty strong word. "Guess" would be more accurate. Especially when the HB seems less and less likely to actually exist.

Now, when the orientation to the object and to objective facts is so predominant that the most frequent and essential decisions and actions are determined, not by subjective values but by objective relations, one speaks of an extraverted attitude. When this is habitual, one speaks of an extraverted type. If a man so thinks, feels, and acts, in a word so lives, as to correspond directly with objective conditions and their claims, whether in a good sense or ill, he is extraverted. His life makes it perfectly clear that it is the objective rather than the subjective value which plays the greater role as the determining factor of his consciousness. He naturally has subjective values, but their determining power has less importance than the external objective conditions. Never, therefore, does he expect to find any absolute factors in his own inner life, since the only ones he knows are outside himself. Epimetheus-like, his inner life succumbs to the external necessity, not of course without a struggle; which, however, always ends in favour of the objective determinant. His entire consciousness looks outwards to the world, because the important and decisive determination always comes to him from without. But it comes to him from without, only because that is where he expects it. All the distinguishing characteristics of his psychology, in so far as they do not arise from the priority of one definite psychological function or from individual peculiarities, have their origin in this basic attitude. Interest and attention follow objective happenings and, primarily, those of the immediate environment. Not only persons, but things, seize and rivet his interest. His actions, therefore, are also governed by the influence of persons and things. They are directly related to objective data and determinations, and are, as it were, exhaustively explainable on these grounds. Extraverted action is recognizably related to objective conditions. In so far it is not purely reactive to environmental stimuli, it character is constantly applicable to the actual circumstances, and it finds adequate and appropriate play within the limits of the objective situation. It has no serious tendency to transcend these bounds. The same holdsgood for interest: objective occurrences have a well-nigh inexhaustible charm, so that in the normal course the extravert's interest makes no other claims

In case you ever wonder sometimes if you are actually an ENTJ.

Also, how to spot an extravert effortlessly.
