I live in an area that is experiencing a long drought.  So, I got to
thinking about the differences in fresh and salt water and have a few
questions that I'd like your thoughts on.
Just what happens to salt in salt water?

Reality seems to always turn out to be much stranger than anything we
can imagine. Who would have thought that the evidence would show our
Universe is not only expanding, but accelerating.   It is just a
matter of time before more energy goes into accelerating the Universe

Can you be without existing? Can you be in a realm where neither time
nor space have any significance? Is there any useful, meaningful
information below the Planck scale?
The difference between being and existing is that - to be - you don't

Proto-galaxies tip cold dark matter
  http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/32010
  Astronomers have spotted some of the first galaxies ever to form.
  These so-called proto-galaxies existed over 11 billion years ago and

In the belief that a bowl of hot water will freeze more quickly then a bowl
of cold water outside, people who work with animals are being told to put
out cold water.
The mpemba effect is being cited to explain this.  What is the best way to

From Osher Doctorow
D. H. Delphenich of Bethany College Lindsborg Kansas, who has 10
papers on arXiv, goes considerable way toward deriving Quantum Theory
from Electrostatics and analogous Coulomb Laws in other classical

"How the Aether Leads to Our Reality"
    The previous posting showed ("A Basic Look at the Aether") that the
classical Aether must exist because it endowed the volume of supposedly
"empty" space with observable properties. If space were not filled with

Is A Clock Second An Interval of Universal Time (absolute time)?
SR asserts that a clock second is an interval of universal time as
follows:
1. A and B are in relative motion.

Mind v. Soul
Could it be that memory precedes reality?
If the information the mind collects is mere illusion, then, perhaps the
soul reliant on this same 'state' of illusion, but also reliant on memory,

It is obvious i have made many mistakes during my brief participation
on USENET groups. Part of mistakes are traced to my very limited
experience on those lands, specially sci.physics and
sci.physics.relativity, which are both hard newsgroups. Just compare
