This should be the one that gets him jailed. My guess is, it'll be a significant fine; but any of us would be in jail already.

WOOPS, it's witness tampering in the state trial, not the federal one. Prior comment still applies.

Tasers, taunts, torment: How 6 White officers subjected 2 Black men to hours of grueling violence, and then tried to cover it up | CNN (www.cnn.com)

On the evening of January 24, three sheriff’s deputies in Rankin County, Mississippi, received a group text message from another deputy on the same shift: “Are y’all available for a mission?”

My gut reaction when I first heard this story break was simply 'Giuliani'.

It's possible to draw parallels like that everywhere all over the bible; and it's not because of 'omg prophesy'

"They always do" - I'm not talking skirmishes here.

I also do not disagree about the mindset. But that mindset has been well and contuously fed and watered; cultivated

Me neither guy, and I find it tragic that somehow these fucks that cultivate these attitudes are even allowed in government when really they should be in the jail.

You are saying something I've been saying for years. In fact, it was my parent's generation who I saw anticipating armaggeddon, and they expected it in the year 2000. It's what the lyrics of 'Party Like It's 1999' are all about.

I get the idea that when it didn't happen that way, it surprised a lot of them, and eventually pissed off a bunch of them. They felt like they'd been cheated out of the second coming, or something.

While my parents are passed now, and didn't really share the perspective anyway, I think there are still a bunch of these grizzled old assholes around, ready to see it all burn before they croak, just so they can be around when it happened.

By definition, a manifold has a place where things go in, and other things come out. So yes, it does in fact logically follow. If its a manifold, then it logically follows that what goes in comes out.

You're saying we know a bunch of stuff I'm not certain we know.

My understanding is that by definition, the singularity has infinite mass and infinite gravity, so there is no way it can gain mass; because infinity + 1 = infinity. It's the very nature of infinities. You can have a number of infinities, but manipulating them arithmetically always yields infinity. 2 x infinity = infinity. 3 / infinity = infinity.

Like zero, it is more identity than number. 0 = nothing, infinity = everything.

So if you hope to have me follow your narrative, you're going to address this assertion concerning increasing the mass of black holes first.

A couple examples of manifolds:

  • exhaust manifold on combustion engine takes raw cylinder exhaust gases in pipes that all come down and combine into a single larger pipe that connects to the input of a catalytic converter.

  • the plenum in your attic is a manifold. One big duct runs from your air handler into a box with several ducts coming from it, delivering air to each of the vents. the ducts and the plenum form a manifold.

In literature, it means 'many and various'.

In mathematics, "a collection of points forming a certain kind of set, such as those of a topologically closed surface or an analog of this in three or more dimensions"

In Kantian philosophy, "the sum of the particulars furnished by sense before they have been unified by the synthesis of the understanding"

Origins: Old English manigfeald ; current noun senses date from the mid 19th century.

All from the wikipedia

They all have some descriptive relevance, but the one that really counts for us is the math one, suggesting the closed surface.

It wouldn't surprise me though if it still worked; there are many examples of topologically closed surfaces that can still be traversed, if in unexpected ways. I'm thinking of another manifold, the klein bottle, and of course the mobieus strip.

Thank you for linking that! I knew I had read that they could be, but I couldn't recall where. It might not have been Scientific American, but that'll do XD

While clearly they can be, infinity == infinity is still true, If I recall.

Also, I've got some simple problems with that crate analogy, Scientific American or not; any crate with an infinite number of anything inside it cannot be emptied, it's in the very definition of infinite. Consequently, neither crate will ever empty and the pairing will be an infinite pairing of apples and oranges.

Also Idk what you are talking about nobody believing there's an actual singularity; I don't know what else you think is happening, or of what use the mathematics might be if it doesn't approach some degree of accuracy as concerns the physical character of the phenomena

According to my understanding, beyond the event horizon, gravity is infinite.

I am not a physicist - I'm a guy who read Prof. Hawking. Given the nature of llight vis a vis observation, inside the singularity, mass and gravity approach infinity.

Mass bends spacetime into gravity. Gravity bends light. Infinite mass > infinite gravity > stops light == singularity.

Note that things happening near the singularity are not the same as things that happen beyond the event horizon.

What Does Dark Matter Look Like? The Euclid Telescope Could Reveal It Soon (www.syfy.com)

We’re not even really sure about the nature and origin of all the inanimate stuff in the universe, not to mention any potential people. All of your favorite parts of the cosmos, from stars and planets to supernovae and black holes, is made of ordinary matter and accounts for only about 5 percent of what’s actually out there....

@inkican

Dark matter looks like nothing, because that's what it is. Euclid will see a lot of things, but not dark matter. It is not a substance, it is a descriptive term for a breakdown in Newton-Einstein Gravitational Dynamics.

The new dynamic is the Milgromian Gravitational Dynamic.

Incidentaly, this is not science fiction.
