Internal structure of electrons, quarks and gluons

Might be the wrong thread to query this, but is there a computer program available that mindlessly repeats itself at random intervals? Asking for a friend.

Any first year student could write you one.

Yeah... yeah, I think I saw my kids write one called elephantintheroom.exe for homework.

How do you feel about wanting to find a computer program that mindlessly repeats itself at random intervals?

In the process of reincarnation, two spiritual components, Pneuma and Idealith, transmit traits during the fertilization of the reproductive cell. It is understood that the subsequent incarnation resembles the previous one yet differs from it, even though one can speak of the preservation of personal identity.

What is interesting about this unfounded claim is that — again — some believer in the supernatural proposes that something "spiritual" is outside science, but still has a measurable effect on physics, in this case the molecules in foetuses, and for some unspecified reason only in foetuses. No other molecules in the world are affected by "pneuma" and "idealith" that apparently hangs around until some molecules have formed a foetus.

The DNA molecule is today one of the best physically and chemically measured molecules in the world. The conjectured effect of the undemonstrated pneuma and ideolith is unobserved in embryology or molecular genetics. As with all his other offerings the OP has here failed to make even a coherent claim, much less one that can be supported with testable evidence. As such, it's not science; it's the opposite of science.

Or, to put it another way, it’s bollocks.

We are catching up with the German language in having the perfect word to describe a phenomenon, I see.

I'm not sure whether the usage of "bollocks" to mean "irrelevant nonsense" is entirely appropriate in a discussion of the means by which traits are passed from one generation to the next.

In my family it was the women who decided and ensured what traits were passed from one generation to the next, the blokes were allowed the use of their bollocks when going watching rugby on a Saturday afternoon, but had to surrender them when back home.

 

[Darat]

Thermal - working class families in the UK were traditionally matriarchal, they - the women - controlled what happened in the family and the interface with the rest of society. (I think the word now used is "matrifocal" as it wasn't a formal position of power etc.)

 

[Thermal]

Darat - we down low have much the same here, it's just not said out loud as often. The house where my wife grew up sported a popular refrigerator magnet that proclaimed "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy".

I agree with you, and I think you hold positive views regarding the existence of reincarnation.

Wrong. And I don't think you can recognise humour.

[P.J. Denyer]

Dave

Ironic when they're the source of so much.

So, you don’t believe in the reality of reincarnation - that’s really not very wise. I’d like to ask: how many of you believe in the reality of reincarnation?

None of the regular skeptics here believes in reincarnation. You should have figured that out from the last time you brought it up.

The question of whether reincarnation is real is not a matter of wisdom but rather one of evidence. You don't have any. Your claim that you are the reincarnation of a famous philosopher of science—according to you—rests simply your "researchings." Until you can supply objective testable evidence for reincarnation, there is no reason for anyone to believe it's real.

I"m not a huge fan of believing in the reality of things that aren't real, but that's me and my hangups I suppose.

What's "not very wise" is believing claims which are not only unsupported, but contradicted by all available evidence. Which includes claims of reincarnation.

I think I'll take that as a compliment.

Now there's that old WW1 marching song playing in my head:

Do your balls hang low?
Do they wobble when you talk?
Do they tangle when you walk?
Why do your balls hang low?
