No, i'm not posting any pictures. Simple as that.

Lads,

He is just Foucaulting around.

Otherwise these Seti and Science boards would be Moribund. Incredible !! With the hundreds of thousands of Seti crunchers we can go days without any responses to people's queries and posts. Are we all illiterate or do we leave the fun and work of thinking and curiousity to a small band of brothers.

Sorry Johnney we're not buddies!

From your hostility i can only assume that i was hitting too close to home.
The 'Egyptian Book of the Dead' meets the criteria of being written on Papyrus in Egyptian style hieroglyphics,
and having had a readership of 40 million throughout history.
From this it follows that you are somehow interpreting the 192 identified magic spells within the text of the book as being analogies to current problems in science, and that you've solved them.
Mix in a bit of Christian Mythology and you've got a winning formula.

You should have no trouble publishing your findings.
You just need to pray a little harder/longer.

:o}

Ahhhhhh.... your too clever for me. You got it!! Its the 'Egyptian Book of the Dead' alright. You must be a mind reader, how did you know? You even guessed i was adding in some Christian Mythology to spruce it up a bit. Your good you are!

Because you forgot the chemistry section where is was clearly explained how to make any disappearing ink visible.

Guido.Man,
That wasn't a Leprechaun, that was me!

Gary,
Its only now that i wish i had listened in chemistry class instead of falling asleep.

Just to change a little the subject. Einstein@home has discovered 5 new pulsars from the Parkes data, after discovering 2 in the Arecibo data. The Parkes pulsars lie close to the galactic center.

Tullio

That is good news Tullio!

As i said before Tullio, there is no black hole in the centre of the Milkyway. Once the pulsars finally do make in into the centre, they will be torn apart just like any star and 100% of the material will be ejected out as electromagnetic radiation.

In the black hole thread, I posted a couple of links showing evidence for a black hole in the center of the galaxy. There is a star with a very strange, tiny orbit. At one end it swings very fast, and slower at the other. It seems to be orbiting nothing, except the mass calculations needed to cause that type of orbit are an object with I think 3.7 million times the mass of our sun. Here are the links. There is certainly something there with a whole lot of mass.

Or just conjure up appealing interpretations and then hit the conspiracists circus! You could well be awash with Guinness if you get your words right! :-)

A few links, some with pictures:

Journey through the afterlife: ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead

Papyrus from the Book of the Dead of Ani

Book of the Dead: Discovery, translation, interpretation and preservation

Book of the Dead: At sacred-texts

The Egyptian Book of the Dead - 1240 BC - THE PAPYRUS OF ANI


That last link is from the website of a modern group with very old ideas about events of about 2000 years ago:

I'm sure this list will be happy to peer review any musings :-)

The myths in the bible (parts of which were written long after the supposed time of Christ) were also found in the dead sea scrolls from the Qumran Essenes. John the Baptist was supposedly from this Jewish sect. The stories in the scrolls refer to the "Lawgiver" and they predate the alleged time of Christ by as much as 150 years.

Perhaps the Bible is sort of like Shakespeares works many of which were oft-told tales handed down through the generations.

I am no biblical scholar and these remarks are taken from things I have read over the years--don't know how reliable the assessments are. But I do know you can't change water into wine nor raise the dead. At least it's been a long time since these things have been done well.

Daddio,
Exactly how sure are you about that? How sure are you that you can't raise the dead?

Because Daddio, modern science would disagree with you!!

Daddio,
Woolly Mammoth died out several thousand years ago. Now if we can bring back a dead Woolly Mammoth from 10,000 year old genetic material preserved in bones, then we can do it with a human being that died 3 days ago.

Funny thing, isn't that what they said about some bloke called Jesus. 2,000 years ago they said he died and then was resurrected 3 days later!!

And the water turning into wine. Well with todays science, that's not even a trick any more. You can mix in a thimble full of any of the grape amino acids and off you go.

Funny how modern science is starting to replicate things that were predicted in the bible thousands of years ago.

Don't believe that was the way it was purported to have been done. Well as I said , "It's been a long time since these things have been done well"

Woolly Mammoth died out several thousand years ago. Now if we can bring back a dead Woolly Mammoth from 10,000 year old genetic material preserved in bones, then we can do it with a human being that died 3 days ago.

Nope. Not the same thing.

NO human can bring back THAT Woolly Mammoth! The Frozen one. No science on Earth can do that. Same problem with the recently deceased...

We can create a copy (maybe, sometimes, ~if all the Planets are aligned properly~)...but that's Cheating! :-)

edited for spelling and wording...

Lint trap is very correct in that cloning doesn't bring the dead back to life.
The being that is created by cloning may be genetically identical but will have none of the learned behaviour traits of the original.
No memories or learned responses are carried over. The clone is really just a clean slate with shared genes.

The guy who's genes are used is still just as dead.

Interesting!!
Even when the science is presented in front of you, science being preformed by reputable universities and respected professors, you guys can all find flaws.

None of you are scientifically thinking people at all. You guys have really shown you inability to understand science.

Its already happening right now. Humanity is splitting into two species of people;
Type 1. The people who truly understand and contribute to science.
Type 2. The people who don't understand science but just believe it anyway.

Your version of 'science' appears to be different to what we understand to be science.

Are you confusing 'science' for what you should be calling 'religion'?

Please elaborate on the Type 1. of which i'm sure you're One.

Why Guido? What don't you understand? You must be Type 2 so. In which case, your not going to understand Type 1 even if i did elaborate.
