X POST!!! w00t!

X^5 POST!

X^(5^(-(e^-(i*pi))))+1 post!

X^(ln(25)/ln(5))+3 POST!

now we need someone with no life to count what number 'X' is according to RCT boy and see if you guys know what you're talking about... NO, i have a life

<sarcasm> I'll do it! I'll do it!!! </sarcasm>

15, its easy. i was the next one to post (it wasnt hard to check, i rosted like 10 mins later) and i said i was 16(see below)

That would mean the following:

RCT boy: 15th post
no_one_2000: 759375th post
lord_nightrose (according to my calc): 759376th post (this must be wrong)
no_one_2000: 228th post

¿Qué w00t?

Whoa!

2^2^3 (or 2^3^2) a-way, 256th post!!

w00ps! i was like 10 off

New artical! w00t!

<on topic>a\way i didnt notice any difference</on topic>

16th post!

It actually seems faster this way...

it might just be that this is a new artical and very small

I meant throughout the 600+ post comments...

1st post of the
day happy new day everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

31st post!!

i think it might be a tie actually...

Are you refferring to your GMT?

newday gmt, but im central

Me too, It 10:30 here. Central Standard Time Rocks! Down with GMT!

It'd be nice to have Primetime start at 7:00 instead of 8:00.

TimeZone stuff confuses me. Like, what if you were standing with one leg in one time zone, and your other leg in another time zone? What time would it be then, if you were perfectly symmetrical and centered over it?

You can never be perfectly centered, there will be at least one extra atom on one side :)

then what if you took a hydrogen 2 (one proton, one neutron) atom and placed it exactly in the middle?
I guess you could then call it halfway between and be a half hour off each time zone.

Pronouns, electrons, and neutrons all have very slightly different masses. Thus it's still not equal :)

Protons, Michael, protons...not pronouns

heh oops...*protons :-)

Who me?

Well, if you aligned a proton and a neutron vertically (with their horizontal centers aligned) like this:
(I'm not sure how well this will show up)
O
.
then if you place them along the border such that the line through their centers is exactly in the same place as the border, then they will be perfectly halfway on each side, despite having different masses.

Ah but that will only occur when the two particles pass each other in their movements...The majority of the time they are not in that formation, and thus the mass is unequal.

Also, there is no *definite* border.

........................................ ........................................
Yeah, well YOU'RE mass in unequal, so THEIR!

I just read an article about a guy who came up with a new theory for the creation of the Earth and he said that according to the Big Bang theory, omega is always driven away from 1. Currently, omega is within ten percent of one (one is a flat universe). That means that omega would have had to be between .999999999999999 and 1.000000000000001 when the Big Bang occured. What he said was that omega was actually going closer to 1, making a flat universe inevitable.
Also, if omega is more than 1, then two light beams that start off parallel will eventually diverge. If it's less than one, they will eventually intersect.
I just thought I'd share that with you.
SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
w00t!

ya... ...i know what your talking about...

I think I remember that one, from Discover Magazine.
The reason is the same as why earth's surface appears flat, but is actually rounded. As the universe got bigger, it appeared flatter, so omega is getting closer to 1. And I think it's called expansionist theory, or something along those lines.

The article was "Guth's Grand Theory"
It's about Guth's theory of inflation...
It WAS in Discover magazine

Darn!

<not quite true> I think I failed that part of science.
Is 42% a failing grade? </not quite true>

It should be...70% or above is passing, but if you go to India, 35% is the least passing grade...It should be the same here...

ya, and what if you were from a long time ago, and you thought the world was flat, and you took a train west, it would seem like your going backwards in time!

and you didnt know about time zones

That's scary to think about...

<rpnspeak text="see link">It matters not. 7:00 Eastern Daylight Savings Time or 6:00 Central Daylight Savings Time it would be, the respective parts of your body for.</rpnspeak>
