Unlike every other religion on the planet, who depend on one person to have seen God (whom they then identify as a Prophet), we as a People saw God.

But Yaakov, you haven't seen god. That must mean you weren't the chosen people after all.

If time doesn't exist, then why do I feel like I've wasted so much of it participating in this retarted thread? Checkmate, squid pro quo, ggnore.

That is just your neurons interacting with various chemical signals forcing you to believe that some sort of "past" exists and that you could have done something other than what you did.

Ebola case in Braintree, Massachusetts. There was a comment that noted the name of the town in Stephen King's The Stand was Braintree, TX. So yeah, we're all dead. gg.

No, I'm not that guy. Are you saying that's the level of autism you would achieve if you didn't have FES to vent your argumentative feelings?

Probably not. I could always use Reddit to argue about pointless shit.

But... there are clearly textures applied to that station.

It is being rendered using PBR (Physics Based Rendering) only, which means the game is just saying "this is metal, I'll render it as metal" and "this is plastic, I'll render it as plastic." There aren't any proper textures applied. I doubt the entire station is supposed to be some horrific shade of gray and yellow. I'm going to go ahead and believe the man in the video when he says there aren't any textures or shaders.


Here's another good planetary shot. No starfield visible this time. Not sure how their visibility is determined yet.

Well that is certainly a lot better, but I'm not sure it should block every single star, just most of them.

Mind.

Blowned.

Also, it is possible to be very argumentative in person and still be liked. I'm not much different in real life than I am here. You just have to be charming enough to trick people into thinking they're having an enjoyable and light-hearted conversation while you're actually explaining to them why they're idiots for thinking that tigers are native to Africa.

I meant people who argue about everything. Literally everything. EVERYTHING. Can't emphasize that enough. Like imagine the pedant word definition garbage that goes on here and now imagine a person does it in face to face conversations. A person in my office at work does it (not me) and the result is that nobody initiates conversation with him unless they have to tell him something work related. If people like you, you're either not that guy, or you have a really disastrous definition of what "like" is.

Now that you've openly admitted that you don't care if you're right or wrong, what reason do any of us have to pay attention to anything you say?

You don't, but you're going to, I can tell you that much.

By my definition, it would be an MMO, although people don't refer to it as one because it's more easily placed under the FPS banner.

By your definition, Call of Duty is an MMO.

The singularity before the Big Bang had zero entropy, since there can be no disorder in a singularity. Ergo entropy has a net increase since the Big Bang.

Oh my god, are you telling me you have definitive proof of the big bang? Quick, give it to me so I can murder you and win a Nobel prize.

That's not true, not everyone here likes to argue.

I didn't make the claim that everyone here likes to argue, so I'm not sure what you're claiming as false in my post.

I notice you are all ignoring my argument that renders the OP both correct and superfluous. Is that because my case is too compelling for you to counter?

I don't know if you've noticed, but this entire forum is crawling with people who like to argue. It doesn't matter what it is, what it is about, or what the correct answer actually is. Its like a debate team with no subject, no time limit, and no judge. It is terrible and it exists because it has to. If I couldn't come here to argue for pages and pages about how time doesn't exist or that Oblivion/Morrowind/Skyrim being generic games, then I'd argue with real people in real places face to face. No one likes people who argue with everyone about everything in real life. They're obnoxious.

Thus we come to this forum to get it all out. It doesn't matter who you argue with here. You can be an obnoxious punk to anyone here and the most they can do is post some whiny text about it. The Internet is the greatest thing ever.

It is somewhat like proving a negative in that the effects we look for to disprove the arrow of time never occur. We never see an effect precede a cause. Once I experience this without the use of potent and enjoyable hallucinogens, and I am given a clean bill of neurological health, I will begin to contemplate your outrageous claims.

How is it proving a negative? You claimed that the universe goes from a lower level of entropy to a higher one. I'm just asking you to prove the lower level existed, since you made a positive claim that it did at some point exist.

Time is the movement of the universe from a lower level of entropy to a greater level of entropy.

How do you intend to prove that a lower level of entropy exists? If it moved from lower to higher, you'd be able to prove the lower level by decreasing the universe's entropy, hmm?

Why does anyone want to merge the old site when it is obvious that the old site is run by people who take days to weeks to respond to email or forum messages?

So we perceive time passing, but it isn't actually, because of something that "supposedly" happens. Seems like a rather un-zetetic conclusion.

What? How did you come to that conclusion?

That's as much work as I'm willing to do for you. When somebody posits an argument, I assume that they're using all of their words correctly. If not, it's their responsibility to correct their mistake, not mine.

I am using the words correctly. That you seem to think otherwise (and won't bring evidence forward to prove so) means you're just wasting thread space.

Do you even know what your argument is? "Time" as an abstract idea is such a cliched idea and it's right on some levels, but wrong according to general relativity.

Please go tell your clock that it's an abstract idea.

You don't understand even the basics about general relativity. Honestly, have you even been to an introductory physics course? This is just embarrassing.

This wouldn't be possible if time didn't exist in some fashion.

You mean it wouldn't be possible for you to think it happens if you don't exist.

And yes, you're right. We can only perceive 3 dimensions... and the 4th dimension is... you guessed it... time.

Which is an unproven abstract idea. Do you even know what the argument is or are you just posting random garbage?

An idea/concept/observation that is altered by gravity and mass. Makes a lot of sense.

Your perception is altered. Nothing in the universe is actually altered. Time dilation is a product of observation (similar to wave-particle duality) not a product of some universal truth.

If time doesn't exist how come everything isn't happening at once?

Because you can only perceive three dimensions. Supposedly everything does happen all it once, you simply view it one at a time in a slide show format.

I think you'll be surprised if you actually look the word up.

How about you do that and post what you come up with. Thanks.

Yes, but it also alters time. Explain time dilation without time, please.

Unless you're now claiming that time is energy?

It only alters time as humans perceive it. There is no concrete time that is being modified by another particle. There isn't a time field being warped by an interaction. Time is an idea. An observation.

That isn't a definition. Also, "abstract concept" is not interchangeable with "something that doesn't exist".

Yes, it is. In fact, the literal definition of abstract means something that doesn't actually exist outside the mind.
