So, late at night I am giving the following a bit of thought.

Supposedly the Universe have been into existence for some 13.8 or 13.9 billion years.

We only know that it is changing most of the time because of events which are constantly happening.

Are you assumed to be better able at discussing such things like evolution and possible change when it comes to the Universe rather than the building blocks it is supposed to be built from?

Everyone or most people know that water is H2O.

Should you be more concerned about the individual atoms or molecules rather than the substance as a whole?

Could a possible God be able to create galaxies or even clusters of galaxies before having the basic building blocks available or present in order for make such a thing a possibility?

Again, we are supposed to be speaking about the presence of a possible God by means of carrying out science.

Or perhaps this should not even be allowed, since we are not supposed to believe in it in such a way.

Why not make a simple comparison.

Nuclear physicists dealing with the subject of fusion and plasma experiments know that certain things are happening within a timeframe period which could be measured in millionths of a second, or even less.

And not by millions of seconds, by the way.

The old wording of "hang on, please wait a little", therefore should better go for the second term and not the first one.

Is God supposed to be similarly patient in his life?

Did he create the Universe in six days and next kept the seventh day a holiday?

When we are observing nature, including both the elementary particles of microcosmos and the objects of macrocosmos, we do not necessarily do so with respect for any belief in God, but rather what nature itself is supposed to be.

Needs better wording, because I was giving a thought about the physical versus the non-physical and then not in the context of religion or the possible divine, but at least when it comes to the relationship between matter and energy.

The bees are known to be telling where honey could be found by means of a dancing performance or presentation.

This is their way of conveying to the other bees of the beehive or honeycomb where the exact location is and also how far the distance is away.

As far as I happen to know, a possible miracle might only be conceived or perceived by means of a possible belief in the divine, but not necessarily God all the time.

Definitely, the Devil is not supposed to be able to do any similar such things, by the way.

If both me and my brother happened to be some 100 years old before eventually passing away, but I chose to be sitting behind the desk all the time, while he chose to be flying around, which one of us would live longer?

Myself, or perhaps my brother?

My brother, at the age of 98, would possibly come to the conclusion that I have become slightly older of age, despite him flying around and myself sitting behind the desk all the time.

Think about it. It is a quite silly example.

But explaining the possible notion of God in such a way may not be as simple.

Edit: "Neither" in the previous post makes it all nonsense.

Should of course be the opposite way around.

Brrr. Building a couple of bridges and you supposedly (or more likely) are supposed to fall to your death.

Discuss science here and the same thing more or most likely is supposed to happen...

Or be happening (like be falling...)

So fun.

I 'apologize in advance' for discussing a person indirectly, as such...)

I think that Mark just creates negative Threads to get people to respond to him.
Mark doesn't usually start new threads unless he's feeling especially lonely/vulnerable.

I've noticed this seems to have happened in the past year... Previous threads, even when they had largely negative sections in response to something or other, had a decent chance of starting off in a good mood...

At 07:31 AM in the morning.

Still a couple of beers in my fridge.

Should perhaps not tell, but went for my fridge right now in order to get to the necessary bears.

Oh, in no need to tell Eric about those QNANs of course.

Yet another story, of course.

Right now looking for the one video I liked.

Can not find it - need some help.

It is a YouTube video relating to music.

It is a better one.

I dont't have it.

Answer right here when it is being found.

For now I am lost.

Thanks!

Sorry about the bad wording.

One of my suspended blc tasks is having a triplet of power 13.65 at 15.5% completed.

I will continue on the task a little later on.

Again there was a slight problem with a Windows update, or possibly from Norton.

The machine choose to turn itself off without prior warning, but I happened to notice the "!" symbol in the tray for the icon for NIS.

Still being visible, the restart was most likely because of a vulnerability that was thought of as being a threat.

But when it happens, I both lose my running things and also need some time to catch up again.

Continuing on the last three tasks now in the task list, which are 75% or more completed.

I chose to leave the PC running while having a break.

Also, BOINC Manager was left running as well, together with one Yafu factorization task.

Two PrimeGrid Woodall tasks also were running in the Manager as well.

The only thing is that since I already happen to know that the Seti@home tasks are slightly burning the processor, I only run some two tasks at one time.

Including the blc tasks in the task list right now.

The blc tasks are not necessarily that long when it comes to running time.

But if I choose to make the suspended tasks active, they will all be run at the same time, depending on how much space is left when it comes to the number of free cores.

Using the Computing Preferences, I could perhaps choose "Use on most XX % of the CPU" and set this value lower.

If I specify 40% rather than 100%, it means I could enable all tasks in the task list of the Manager, but only have four or so being run at the same time.

Next, possibly the Manager needs a restart and at least here this would mean that I also should exit the application completely and also the same for the icon in the tray.

Also this could be done manually as well using the Processes tab in Windows Task Manager and exit both boinc.exe, boincmgr.exe and boinctray.exe if they are still running.

The remaining tasks would next be "Waiting to Run".

Am I correct here?

In fact I have not tried this out.

I was interrupted today by a shower, including some lightning and thunder.

Quite chilly outside, so therefore not the big show or spectacle.

But there were at least three or four larger lightning flashes. The first I was able to see directly and it was a quite big one such, to the northwest.

Following the lightning, a big thunder came only two seconds afterwards and in fact jolted me a bit.

The place I am living is in fact a meeting place between dry air from the south-east and the colder air coming from the ocean.

It does not happen to often, but there are times when these two different layers of air meet head-on, making room for quite a spectacle when it comes to such things.

Because of global warming, or at least a more temperate environment, my guess is that such a thing will become more common in the future and despite a chilly summer, this is something to take notice of and keep in mind.

Except for that short break, the reminder of the day is a quite boring one.

Also I am noticing that some of my tasks are having a short running time.

When the gaussian search is not being carried out, the number for the other scores should be the same otherwise.

I always was having the impression that RFI is meaning the same as a possible spike overflow when it comes to the results.

Therefore, if I was able to notice at least two triplet scores of roughly 15-16 in two different tasks when launching the graphics for the task which had a short running time, such a triplet becomes only another parameter which could be added to the remaining part of the result.

If such a task was also carrying out the gaussian search, I most likely would get the same triplet scores, but most likely nothing else.

Therefore I am left to guess what the rest of it might have been.

In fact, there have been a long period with nothing at all happening.

With this RFI visible at times now, I am only left to speculate, since a corresponding gaussian score is not available for the tasks that were run which were having such RFI visible in the graphics.

I have not heard anything being mentioned, but perhaps this has been noticed by others as well.

The ozone hole is shrinking.
30 years after we banned CFCs...it might be starting to help.

Would a side effect be increased global warming? Dunno yet.
But with a 30 to 50 year cycle, it's not gonna happen while the kittyman is still alive.

Thanks for the link, Mark.

In fact I happened to come across the same subject a couple of days ago when visiting another page.

Possibly by means of Yahoo! Needs going back for checking.

Except for that, I did not make any direct connection between these two things by only this happening.

But the fact is that we happen to be living in a world we think could be understood by means of carrying out science.

Not always that easy when it comes to a couple of things.

I also looked up Werner Heisenberg in the Wikipedia, but here it is rather better to read about the Uncertainty Principle once again, because this is really what it is all about.

Both the weather, as well as other events related to randomness and chaos are supposed to be explained by means of mathematical laws and equations.

But in the same way as we may not be able to predict neither such weather, or earthquakes, for that matter, it could be easy to perhaps assume that the equations for the Uncertainty Principle could be explained in the same way, or within a similar framework.

Definitely the Theory of Relativity is not the same as the Uncertainty Principle when it comes to the intended meaning or possible way it might be used.

In a similar way, Quantum Theory and Quantum Mechanics more likely should be related to the Uncertainty Principle than the Theory of Relativity, because the first more likely explains a world where neither symmetry or perfect structures do exist.

Time could be shown to be symmetrical, even though it might slow down by means of gravity.

If for some reason one thing is dependent on another, such a thing eventually leads to the butterfly effect.

Where is a similar symmetry being found when it comes to this?

Compare with a painter. Perhaps he or she at a moment is concerned about one specific detail in the painting.

Still you have the rest of the painting in front of you, either finished or currently being worked on.

If the Universe for some reason happens to be a running clockwork, the notion of time might be able to get a couple of things working, but even though the temperature of absolute zero is nothing at all when compared to the temperature of the cores of giant stars, the fusion processes happening in these cores more likely are happening as a result of Quantum Theory or Quantum Mechanics even though the Uncertainty Principle could be able to tell that one thing is supposed to be true while another thing not necessarily being so.

Scientists have yet to come up with a single Theory of Everything (GUT), because there is still the opinion that while the Theory of Relativity might well be able to explain a couple of things, Quantum Mechanics, or the Uncertainty Principle more likely is supposed to be doing such a thing even better.

If you happen to be comparing the Theory of Gravity with Quantum Theory or the Uncertainty Principle, where are you supposed to be able to relate any of these concepts with the Standard Model of Physics?

Where is the relationship, or possible similarity being found?

My guess is that right now there is no definite answer to this question.

Geez, Mark.

If you do not mind, perhaps recall the many hooded beast of sorts.

Hit one head and put it off, you most likely are left with thousands more.

Be warned.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7de3IWFMRQ&list=RDXkZv3GHO8vA&index=17

Should perhaps tell.

With three recent PC purchases and at least one working, I had the side cover or panel removed for at least one of the other or remaining computers.

In the middle of the night and only wearing socks on my legs, I hit the edge of the cover with one of my left toes.

It hurts and I now suspect a rupture, or possible fracture inside the left foot below the ankle.

Asking when shopping, they were able to bring or deliver me the Nivea skin cream, which on a plastic box is a little more than the regular shower gel.

Thanks for that, but what about possible tenosynovitis (google translate)?

Because suffering from pollen allergy in the summer, the doctor insisted on collecting or extracting a blood sample.

My type of blood is the most common one, A, RH+ (Rhesus), or A+ for short.

If I ever made a similar thing when visiting the local Police Department, except for perhaps shooting me on the spot, they perhaps would like collecting my fingerprints instead.

Not totally sure or certain, but one of my fingers (will not tell which one), may be having or contain one of the more rare ones when it comes to such.

Make or carry out a possible crime, it is better wearing gloves in my opinion.

I did not get any sleep between Tuesday and Wednesday.

From the freezer in my kitchen I got a potato and meat meal (kind of a pizza) which was quite good.

Entering the bathroom before getting to bed, I flushed the hot water bottle (plastic) by means of turning the heat level to its maximum heat level.

The bottle first went in front of my stomach below the carpet before ending up below my hurting feet.

The fact is that you could at times be a wimp when it comes to a couple of things.

If you are prepared, you most likely could survive such an ordeal.

In my opinion there is always a difference between those idiots or naive people suffering from such ordeals, because some other people gave the order for such a thing to happen.

Guess the world is full of idiots.

In fact I have yet to mentioned all of them.

See you later.

Edit: Mark - the problem I got is not (only) because of sitting in a chair.

I could use the shower handle on my hair, face and lower body, but I had a quite big spot removed from my back a couple of years ago and right now it hurts both in my diaphragm (middle stomach below or at the point of the navel).

Also should tell, I want to finish the toilet.

If necessary, I use the shower handle both at the front and rear after washing the fingers using water and soap.

Next, be using a cutter in order to shave the long nails on your toes after cleaning the waste from your socks.

Therefore, it becomes a question or subject about possible inflammation, rather than cleanness alone or only.

This is the bad thing about this and I happen to be having both a bit of knowledge as well as a couple of things being stored around.

Sigh!

Edit: Thanks, Mark.

Anyway, remember who I am.

I have also once in a while stumbled or stepped on certain computer parts that I have carelessly set down in the wrong place and forgot they were there.

Hope your foot recovers quickly.

In fact, I purchased my last set of beer cans on 1/3 liters (or .0.33) liters cans or bottles (metal, or metallic).

But the problem is that in this room of 30 degrees Celsius (and also a freezer which could need a cool down on its own), it becomes lukewarm beer at best.

In fact, reminds me about those hairy bastards which most likely happens to end up becoming more or less the same.

Except for Hillary, of course, with her sharp tongue.

... (which means rule the world).

By means of possible conflicts, of course and if necessary get rid of those idiots or anyone else being in the way.

Also I happen to be quite good at it as well.

:(

I hope that for once, her sharp tongue gets muted by the Congress.

As for warm beer, I remember many times as a youth that a badge of courage was to slug one down in the morning upon waking up.
Unless, of course, you raced to the bathroom to throw up after doing so......LOL.

Buh, Mark.

In fact it happens to me a couple of times, but not because of beer or alchohol on its own or alone.

Except for the brain, which I could get back at, at least three parts of your body are almost marvels, at least when you are long living.

That is the stomach, your lungs and not to forget your heart, at least.

Here, the heart is only the functioal mechanism which makes you abler to live, but heck else...

At 06:31 AM in the morning, the butt is still hurting, while the beer is being consumed, standing on my table.

Or maybe or perhaps put it simple. She is 47, black haired.

I happen to be slightly older.

Such a thing in fact makes me an idiot, or perhaps being so.

Perhaps I should not bother.

Back later on with more reprisals.
