Jan 24	comment	Does any particle ever reach any singularity inside the black hole? This question also bugged my mind and I've also asked the more or less same question, you may want to check the answer to it.
Jan 20	comment	Can (or How) Anthropic Principle be Made into a Scientific Theory? Furthermore, for the people who are still confused about the issue, this sentence from wikipedia should help, as it was where I understood I was talking about the wrong thing all along: "As a result, they believe that the fact that the Universe's fundamental constants are within the narrow range thought to allow life is not remarkable."
Jan 20	comment	Can (or How) Anthropic Principle be Made into a Scientific Theory? Most of the time, when two people argue, it is because of the difference between their definitions, rather than the actual topic of argument itself. In this case, it was my mistake as I was reminded of another principle a colleague of mine had mentioned about and after reading anthropic principle's definition at Wikipedia I realized I was talking about a whole other issue, that is why I said your definition of A and B was inappropriate. I sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding.
Jan 19	comment	Can (or How) Anthropic Principle be Made into a Scientific Theory? Ok, let's consider the A and B in your system. A: Life, B: Suitable constants. I am not defying this. A definitely implies B. What you are saying, though, A implies that B is there FOR A, which is not in the initial suggestion. Logically linking two propositions with an if does not necessarily link them with a for or because of, and there is a reason why there are no such linkers in logic in maths. Also, this argument is pointless beyond belief as anthropic reasoning is not a testable scientific theory by any means because there is no measurement for "intention" in the physical universe.
Jan 19	comment	Can (or How) Anthropic Principle be Made into a Scientific Theory? @kakemonsteret: You see, this is not science. What you just proposed is not a scientific argument, it is exactly what Graviton meant by "philosophical mumbo-jumbo". And please do not say "shows" rather say "suggests" as anthropic principle makes no sense physically.

Jan 18	comment	Can (or How) Anthropic Principle be Made into a Scientific Theory? This is not valid at all. Say, there are a billion multiverses, all with different constants etc. Now let only one of the multiverses have the capability of supporting complex molecules and hence life. If the living beings in that universe follow such a thought pattern, they would be wrong, as there were many universes and the fact that they are there is a result, not a reason. Or in other words we are alive because the constants are adequate, not constants are adequate because we are alive.
Jan 15	answered	If the earth left the solar system for interstellar space. How long would it take for atmosphere to freeze
Jan 11	comment	How to describe a well defined “zero moment” in time I think special relativity would render any such definitions meaningless, if what you are looking for is what I think you are looking for.
Jan 8	comment	How Does Mass Leave the Body When you Lose Weight? -1. I totally agree with space_cadet. I do not see how this is related to physics in any aspect.

Jan 5	comment	Physically induced latency in internet connections I can say that the latency with a fiber optic connection would be over distance/c because of all the processes the incoming signals will go through in the receiver and the outgoing signals will go through in the transmitter. It would be just a few microseconds of difference from distance/c though. Besides light does not follow a direct route inside the cable itself.
Jan 4	comment	What happens to light after it enters an eye Yeah exactly. I think I misinterpreted your first comment and thought that you were implying something totally different. Your second comment clarified much for me. And yes, exactly as you say, efficiency is completely dependent on the situation.
