    Ok...

    Blackstreet, KC and the Sunshine band had some really good songs. Nickelback is a perfectly fine band, and though I’m not a fan, they’re definitely not the worst band ever like popular culture has decided. I don’t have an opinion on Alabama or the Oak Ridge Boys, I like the one La Bouche song I’ve heard well enough, and I’m not going to Google Carl Douglas, but my mind is telling me he’s the guy who did Kung Fu Fighting, so...thumbs up.

    I fell going up the stairs to the kitchen earlier today. I think I hurt my ankle, but at least I had an ice pack in the freezer. I got it for dealing with foot pain. Ankles are close enough to my feet.

    I tried but never managed to get into Heavy Metal  , Wasted Time was the only Iron Maiden I could listen to all the way through .......too old to learn to dance to it ,orkeep from getting a headache from most of it ........kudos to you though

    I think I play music with headphones on and close my eyes. If I pretend to be asleep, I think I won't be pretending for long verses if I stay on my phone.

    What if the song has short verses?

    Judging from the album cover art they weren't incandescent.  Purists can argue over whether neon lights are fluorescent.

    Neon lights, like sodium vapor lights, are emissive.  Call me a purist.wink

    OMG, you've got me thinking about light.  A gossamer trap.  Argh, all light is emissive in one form or another.  Wonderful stuff light.  It travels at the fastest speed, it has no mass, it has no concept of time.  Its begining and ending are simultaneous.  For it, neither space nor time exists.  Yet it transports energy from one place/time to another.  Light just "is" and the Universe happens at a snail's pace within it.  It has no intrinsic color yet we are mesmerized by its colors or at extremes, fried or even vaporized by its intensity.  At the beginning all there was was light.  At the end, all there will be is light. Light, wonderful stuff light.smiley  I'm not a religious person but the phrase "Let there be light." takes on new meaning when thought of in the physics of cosmology.cool

    I want my goldfish to check on my laundry but it would be easier for me to check on it myself.

    I want lunch soon. Maybe cream of mushroom soup?

    Complaint I think my shirt feels too small. It is hard to take photos of myself. My goldfish are too busy swimming.

    Light has no mass because just like waves on the sea it doesn't really exist by itself or travel - both are just fluctuations in different media (ether / water).

    Light has energy so it has mass. There isn't any such thing as ether, which was the problem Einstein solved with relativity.

    Tweak: Light has no "rest mass".  But does have momentum.  It's still wonderful stuff.  Actually, by time you get down to everything just being quantum fields, it's all wonderful stuff.cool

    I know that's the general idea in established science, but IMHO established science has got a lot of things wrong because it hasn't yet understood the most fundamental factors in physics correctly. Which is probably the main reason why there are so many different theories and disagreements about this and that.  Once these fundamental things are understood correctly everything becomes simple and obvious.  

    Walter Russell says in his book "A New Concept of The Universe" that "If science knew what LIGHT actually IS, instead of the waves and corpuscles of incandescent suns which science now thinks it is, a new civilisation would arise from that one fact alone".  Why becomes obvious when you read his books, but it's controversial in different ways so I'll leave it at that. 

    He explained all this back in the 20th century, and many of the leading scientists back then actually agreed with him, but they felt it was impossible to change the existing concepts of science so radically.  So not much has happened, at least until now, where Russell's cosmogony has started to become recognized again.  There's really nothing new in all this, these ideas are well known from most ancient philosophies but Russell is the first who has managed to transform them into a complete scientific cosmogony which can be understood by anyone.

    Russell defines the ether as the fundamental substance that everything is made of.  It's pre-physical (i.e. not matter, but matter is a construction made by polarization of this non-polarized fundamental substance) and itself motionless so it cannot be detected by physical means.  As he writes: "[This] One substance is absolutely frictionless, temperatureless, non-compressable, non-expandable, non-absorbent, non-reflectant, nonresistant and non-refractive; but, potentially, it contains the appearance of all these qualities through the dynamic action of those opposing forces within it...States of motion-in-opposition cause the appearance of change from the state of motion-in-non-opposition or inertia, into the appearance of separability into parts. This results in such effects of motion as heat, cold, color, form, sex [polarity (+/-)], growth, valence, ionization, mass, gravity, radiation and many others."

    Science has actually started to look into the ether again as an explanation for the "dark matter" mystery as well as some of the problems with the theory of relativity:

    "In an astonishing twist of fate, the key to relativity’s salvation could lie in the aether. Since the early 2000s, a small group of researchers have claimed that this invisible, space-filling substance could have the power to unify physics. Then, in late 2018, two independent groups suggested that the similarity between the aether and the shadowy powers that populate our cosmos may not be mere coincidence. For one team, the aether is a dead ringer for dark matter. For another, it could explain away dark energy. For others still, it might even be both."
