Einstein described how at age 16 he watched himself in his mind’s eye as he rode on a light wave and gazed at another light wave moving parallel to his. According to classical physics, Einstein should have seen the second light wave moving at a relative speed of zero. However, Einstein knew that Maxwell’s electromagnetic equations absolutely require that light always move at 3 × 108 metres per second in a vacuum. Nothing in the theory allows a light wave to have a speed of zero. Another problem arose as well: if a fixed observer sees light as having a speed of 3 × 108 metres per second, whereas an observer moving at the speed of light sees light as having a speed of zero, it would mean that the laws of electromagnetism depend on the observer. But in classical mechanics the same laws apply for all observers, and Einstein saw no reason why the electromagnetic laws should not be equally universal. The constancy of the speed of light and the universality of the laws of physics for all observers are cornerstones of special relativity.

Simple math ignored by those who hate Creator God. As well, the geology of fossils does not indicate slow "evolution," but rather incredibly rapid appearances of completely formed species. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82076544 Do not replace hard facts with weak theories. Sooo, why are there ancient ocean fossils found on top of huge mountain ranges embedded in rock? The Earth has been though many catastrophic changes in the past. Even the bible says that God's time is no where close to our own. Lets just try and use logic. It's amazing to drive through the ozarks (I49)(maybe technically the Boston Mtns) and see the different layers of sedentary rock (sediment) that has been exposed where cuts have been made through the mountains to build highways. What is most amazing is that each layer is slightly different in color. One day,Eons in the past, something changed, and the sediment for the next Eon was all the same, then something else changed and the sediment became even another color or shade. The whole area had once been underwater. The road West out of Springdale shows similar layers that have been exposed. https://imgur.com/a/6IAStYG Older than bones.. https://imgur.com/3H4ZRoU Difficulties strengthen the Mind as labor does the body... ~Seneca |

Quoting: Seer777 Another assumption is that people who commit crimes engage in a rational calculation with the likelihood that they will be apprehended, prosecuted and convicted, he says. 'The severity of punishment, known as marginal deterrence, has no real deterrent effect, or the effect of reducing recidivism.' “A large number of crimes are what we call expressive crimes – that is they are affected by anger, rage, depression, drug or alcohol use, indicators of psychological disturbances,” he says. “So people are not turning their mind in a rational, calculating way, using cost-benefit of whether the punishment outweighs the benefit. “There is the assumption too that people are acting in a vacuum, that they’re not influenced by a range of economic, social and cultural factors that provide the context within various forms of offending occurs.” Professor Brown says we only need to look at the high rates of recidivism for past offenders to know that imprisonment doesn’t work in reducing further crime. “Roughly around 60% of the people sentenced to prison have previously been in prison,” he says. There are a number of civil disabilities that stem from imprisonments, such as exclusion from the job market, de-skilling and lack of access to housing, which lead offenders back to crime. “It’s very hard to get a job with a criminal record, and particularly if you’ve been sentenced to imprisonment; it is so stigmatised,” he says. “People, for the period that they’re imprisoned, are not learning any new skills for employment.

[link to youtu.be (secure)] ^I heard this story as a young teen and has haunted me ever since. Killing someone because they were loudly and ignorantly snoring? Killing someone because they refused to let you sleep while you tried to continually move/wake them? Would I go there? Bitch I might. [link to youtu.be (secure)] I wasn't more than 12 when I absolutely saw Billy the Kid's/Enlil's point of getting mad enough to kill/destroy humanity for keeping him from sleeping. Humans are endlessly loud, obnoxious and annoying. Rarely grateful, never stop complaining are rarely satisfied and prone to acts of irrational violence, every moment of every day. Sleep is the only respite some of us get from the constant noise and ugliness. I've known this about myself ever since, so what do I do to avoid it? I avoid people and situations that make it more likely I will be woken up when I'm trying to sleep. Don't purposely mess with people while they're sleeping or you may find yourself on the other end of irrational rage.

In this context, one "fool" might pay for an overpriced asset, on the assumption that he can probably sell it to an even "greater fool" and make a profit. This only works as long as there are new "greater fools" willing to pay higher and higher prices for the asset.
