Oh yeah? Well I don't believe in moderators. So there.
Someone's getting a picture of a lump of coal in their PM box this Christmas.
What did I get a picture of if I do believe in moderators?
The reason I don't believe in physics.

What did I get a picture of if I do believe in moderators?
I've always had a problem with the physicists who say E=MC2 won't let us travel faster than light. Looks like shoddy math to me.
E=MC2 says if you take matter, accelerate it to the speed of light(186,000miles per second) squared it will convert to energy. Boom, or something. OK, but how does that keep you from going faster than light?
E does not equal matter accelerated to 186,000miles/sec. So you should be able to go 186,001miles/second, exceeding ever so slightly the speed of light without ever converting to E(energy). Poof, instant star travel. So, yeah, I have a hard time trusting physicists.
Go read up on the topic and think about it again. You don't understand mass-energy equivalence or relativity.
Or you could be less rude and explain it.

Naked pictures of Frontline.
So.... "pictures of Frontline", then.

I have thought about it. In fact, I've taught it. I could enlighten you-but my keyboard doesn't handle Boolean Algebra, Calculus or the necessary symbology very well. And, like so many out there, you give the impression of believing that what Einstein stated was a theory is, in fact, a fact. Since it's impossible to prove at this point due to our current technology level Relativity as expounded by Mr. One Stone shall remain just that- a theory. And that leaves it open to both debate and alternate theories. Even if they are a little far-fetched or fail to take into account mass density effects of objects under acceleration, etc.
*sigh* Regarding this thread-maybe this will help.
Definition: Parody
Part of Speech Definition Noun 1. A composition that imitates or misrepresents somebody's style, usually in a humorous way.[Wordnet]
2. Humorous or satirical mimicry.[Wordnet]
3. A writing in which the language or sentiment of an author is mimicked; especially, a kind of literary pleasantry, in which what is written on one subject is altered, and applied to another by way of burlesque; travesty.[Websters]
Me, too.
Humor is relative. That's my theory.
Why you should believe them? The accepted theories generally allow for excellent predictions of how things will behave. This allows us to build all sort of things, including the computer you wrote your message on. So, the fact that the thing behave predictably and we can use that, is a good reason to believe in physics.
And, physicists would be the first ones to say that they don't know everything. They're routinely testing and refining new theories that work better. Looking for data that can confirm or deny theories. So, it's not like some old guys wrote rules once and no one has challenged them. Einstein is from the 20th century and even he would be surprised by a lot of the new theories and ideas. The field is always changing. The nothing that it hasn't is utterly incorrect.
PS--And, no I didn't get that this was a parody thread until after writing the above. Need more coffee!

Kurt Cobain was talking about me when he said he sang "I wish I were like you - easily amused."
It has everything to do with what I said-the thread was started tongue-in-cheek and my response was certainly not meant to be taken seriously. If I meant it seriously I would have droned on at great length about equations and proofs of interest only to actual physicists, citing numerous published references and learned trade journals.
Lighten up, kid.
Some of us are just having fun. You should try it sometime.
