John-boys grandma? :noway:

Check your engine for sawdust, brother.

Check your engine for sawdust, brother.

I heard my mechanic grumble, behind my back recently, "Another sucker....boob..."

Wonder what he meant by that? It's a mite curious, Mayor.

Related question: What law prevents crimes in space? "International waters" concept? Whose law?

Discuss...Where is my coffee?

Try here.

Do you have to get a ton of work done on your '74 Pinto?

 

[john w]

Try here.

So, sanctioned by the UN, eh?

I swapped my purple Gremlin, for a Toyota MR2 Spyder. I'm diggin' roadsters, especially since no one can throw up in the back seat, Mayor. Toyota's are low maintance, Mayor, sorta like your girlfriends, with whom you go "Dutch."

 

[gcthomas]

Sanctioned by nation states and formalised by treaty, really.

 

[john w]

The UN, correct?

 

[gcthomas]

The UN, correct?

The UN does not impose laws, so such international laws have been enacted locally by nation states to give the laws power.

So no, the UN is not the authority enforcing the law as that is the jurisdiction of the bodies with judicial systems: nation states. The UN does encourage and facilitate treaty agreements, but it has no other authority in itself.

UN related, eh? That explains it. You're beginning to bore me.

That's OK. You bored me months ago. :idunno:

so in the vacuum of space, you are traveling at the speed of light, and you point a flashlight thru the front window in front of you, that the light does not seem to go forth ....

Light is ruled by the physical space or "physics" that surround it. its subjective.

Not so much subjective as relative. The speed of light is not an absolute speed limit (what would you measure the speed relative to?), but light speed is always measured to be the same by each observer.

If you are coming towards me at very close to the speed of light, then from my point of view you would be travelling very close behind your flash light beam, which itself moves at ~300 000 000 m/s.

But, from your point of view you would see the light receding into the distance at a rate of 300 000 000 m/s. Time dilation and Lorentz contraction mean that both your speed measurements and mine are consistent with one another, despite the odd ways in which the velocities seem to add.

yes thank you for correcting me. relative to,not subjective too,my mistake..

Heh Heh.

Oh.

Are you being serious?

 

[ok doser]

Science is a construct of the patriarchal hegemony.

i blame whitey

 

[musterion]

i blame whitey

It's whitey's fault the black folks no longer have the angel wings they flew around the pyramids with. There are black folks that actually believe that.
