Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    As far as "time" being the 4th dimension....
    http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog...dimension.html

    “The idea of time being the fourth dimension of space did not bring much progress in physics and is in contradiction with the formalism of special relativity,” he said. “We are now developing a formalism of 3D quantum space based on Planck's work. It seems that the Universe is 3D from the macro to the micro level to the Planck volume, which per formalism is 3D. In this 3D space there is no ‘length contraction,’ there is no ‘time dilation.’ What really exists is that the velocity of material change is ‘relative’ in the Einstein sense.”

      In all seriousness, though, time is a coordinate on a similar (not same) footing with space, in that both of them are necessary to completely specify an object's location.

        Time goes by the fastest when we're asleep. We spend roughly 1/3 of our time on Earth asleep.

          Space is timeless. Time exists only in our world (we created it as a measure of the earth's rotation).

            Well, space at any given instant of time is timeless There's the universe now... and now... and now. At each of those instants, the universe is timeless, but in order to progress from one configuration to the next, the universe must change its time coordinate.

            Whether or not the article you pointed to a few posts ago has scientific merit, I don't know. The reality is that the physical theories we've developed (quantum field theory, general relativity, etc.), which include time, have borne the test of experiment. I'd say that's what really matters.

              Ty for sharing that factoid, but Snapple had already informed me of that.

                That's precisely what is limiting advancement.

                  What's limiting advancement is people saying stuff like "we don't know what came before the big bang, so God did it, end of story."

                  Scientists, on the other hand, are still working on a unified theory.

                      So you want advancement, but you just don't want to spend neither time nor money. Makes perfect sense.

                      And the wonderful irony of that is that you are the one who said that "alternative treatments" like Reiki should get research funding.

                      Unfortunately, the WHO and company wouldn't bother researching any alternate medicines on whether or not they are effective since for the most part, they are a cheaper alternative and it wouldn't make sense (economically) to do this.

                      And don't let our Armenian recipe for "Naneh Limone" out to the public
