  it is the OUTER force that causes the INNER mass to accelerate         


Author: dedanoe
Date: Dec 24, 2008 23:56

the first law says: "subjected to zero outer force the weight tends to
preserve its uniform none accelerated motion i.e. travel with constant
velocity or rest". the second law says: "when subjected to OUTER force
the weight accelerates proportionally to that force and reciprocally
to its INNER mass". the gravity law says: "massive objects exert
gravity forces on each other proportional with the product of the
masses and reciprocal with the square distance between them". let me
go backwards: F1 R1 R1 / M1 = g M = F2 R2 R2 / M2 that is the gravity
shit. it splits on two equations: [(F1/F2=R2/R1) and (M2/M1=R2/R1)]
which can be unified in one double equation: F1/F2=M2/M1=R2/R1. so the
second flaw defends that: F1 = a2 M2 and F2 = a1 M1 cause it is the
OUTER force that makes the INNER mass accelerate...

Spirituality Spot Found in Brain

What makes us feel spiritual? It could be the quieting of a small area in our
brains, a new study suggests.

The area in question - the right parietal lobe - is responsible for defining
"Me," said researcher Brick Johnstone of Missouri University. It generates
self-criticism, he said, and guides us through physical and social terrains by
constantly updating our self-knowledge: my hand, my cocktail, my witty
conversation skills, my new love interest ...

People with less active Me-Definers are more likely to lead spiritual lives,
reports the study in the current issue of the journal Zygon.

Most previous research on neuro-spirituality has been based on brain scans of
actively practicing adherents (i.e. meditating monks, praying nuns) and has
resulted in broad and inconclusive findings. (Is the brain area lighting up in
response to verse or spiritual experience?)

  Jesus the Messenger

Jesus the Messenger

In the Qur'an, stories about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ
(called 'Isa in Arabic) are abundant. The Qur'an recalls his
miraculous birth, his teachings, the miracles he performed by God's
permission, and his life as a respected prophet of God. The Qur'an
also repeatedly reminds that Jesus was a human prophet sent by God,
not part of God Himself. For more detailed information about what
Muslims believe about Jesus, please visit the FAQ index page. Below
are some direct quotations from the Qur'an regarding his life and
teachings.

"Behold! the angels said, 'Oh Mary! God gives you glad tidings of a
Word from Him. His name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in
honour in this world and the Hereafter, and in (the company of) those
nearest to God. He shall speak to the people in childhood and in
maturity. He shall be (in the company) of the righteous... And God
will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the
Gospel'" (3:45-48).

"Public goods" and "the common good" do not mean the same thing.
