Just Coincidence?

Thank you. (And, yes, it was a "regular" quarter.)

At the risk of beating a greasy spot on the ground where a dead horse used to be, I can thus infer (pending better evidence), that BronzeDog's memory for detail is "about" 75% accurate. (Well done, by the way). But this also establishes a baseline for his credibility. If he (she?) tells me something that I judge to be less than 25% likely to be true, I can justifiably chalk it up to the foibles of our all-too-human memory.

I'm a he, and I quite agree. If my memory is 75% accurate, I could rely on it in a crunch, but not for scientific tests with tight controls.

Thought that just occurred to me: If someone writes down his dreams and believes one of them might be prophetic, it seems likely to me that he might unconsciously edit his memories of the dreams to make some of them more likely to occur here in the physical world.

...asking how faster than light travel might work, and what are the odds of each flight going smoothly.

Tachyons and approximately 94%, depending upon the warp bubble and/or possible interferance by Klingons.

I know that some might infer that this percentage may be lower, due to the well-known instability of tachyon particles, but this is countered nicely by going back in time at these speeds. So fortunately since going back in time you don't "Blow up and die" upon a failure. You simply get "born again" (depending upon the warp factor you are travelling). This is what the bumper stickers refer to, they are previous - or I should say future - light travelling astronauts.


You're welcome.
