Various scientific publications are breathless in anticipation of your submission.

Setting the irony aside (even to me, this is quite obvious irony, especially the first quote in consideration),
what arguments do you have that entangled particles are indeed entangled (connected)?

Quite frankly, I don't see how it helps Atheists goals, the way you are responding to my thread.

Ever since I joined, you've done nothing but ridiculing me and my posts for absolutely no reason.

- what do you think of my theory?

It is not a theory.  It is conjecture.

QuoteAnd why would you think it is crap, if you think so?

"We don't know" is a better answer than conjecture, unless the conjecture is intended to lead to a hypothesis.  As far as I can tell, your conjecture cannot lead to a hypothesis - i.e., it can't lead to something testable.

That's not even a thing.  Nor would that sentence make any sense if that were a thing.

Thinking you have QM all figured out when you're actually in not-even-wrong territory would be enough.  Now multiply that by thread after thread just like this one.

So far, this has been the only constructive response to my thread. Thank you.

Ok, let's call it an idea instead of theory. I will edit my OP.

1) What reason?

2) Even if you think there is a reason, there isn't anyway, because there is never a reason to ridicule people instead of constructive criticism.

I didn't attack you. I just said congratulations whatever you wrote because everyone knows you're always right...except when you're not which may be almost always most of the time which is close enough to always to suit me. Congratulations.

Will you tell me my ex wife will cheat on me in 1981 in 1980? I won't believe you, but will thank you 34 years later for trying.

Which is sarcasm/irony, and not a constructive response to my thread.

I'll review my user agreement to see if I agreed to respond to you constructively. I'll get back with you on that.

Note: I may or may not review user agreement about responding to you constructively, but will inform you first if I do.

Note: Upon further review I've determined that further review is unnecessary and will risk your wrath.

Okay so, if you don't feel well received here, is the option of not posting not available to you? I don't recall that I have personally attacked you on here, I just haven't been interested in anything you've posted. Or is this like a compulsion thing where you have to post?

I'm not trying to be mean here, but you are like the kid on the playground that shows up at the game with the wrong ball. Sometimes you just have to look for another playground.

Well, there are a few problems with the time machine.  It takes me to any year in time, but not any place, so it's not like I could find you (or her).  But next time I go back, I'll remember that she cheated on you.  I can give you GPS coordinates of my time machine.  You can meet me there in 1980, but then how would you know to meet me there since you wouldn't know we had this conversation?

I am actually seriously considering this already.

If someone reviewed this forum, from the outside and had to do an article reviewing this forum,
I am not sure they would come a conclusion favorable to AtheistForums.com.

Instead of making a constructive feedback and discussing the topic, all you do is making fun of it.

Time travel is impossible for a reason. If everybody could go back in time and kill the people they hate, we would wink out of existence, except for all the really lame people who had so little personality they never offended anybody. And the human race would fade out of existence because of mass indecision.

I feel like that too, sometimes.  Last night I was reading a book about the battle of Corregidor and realized I was actually alive when the Japanese took that from us, and probably old enough to remember our later invasion that won it back.  One of my first memories is coming out of my bedroom one morning, and seeing my mother intently reading a news paper.  My dad came into the kitchen, and my mother looked up and said, "The war is over."  I don't think I knew what that meant but I must have sensed something in the atmosphere of the room that told me it was important.  I remember my dad just nodding in acknowledgement like he had been anticipating it.  I assume it was the second world war.

Funny, I remember Mrs Kelly from across the street barging into our living room, disturbing my Captain Kangaroo time to scream to my mom, "Kitty! They've killed the president!".
My mom's nickname was Kitty, short for Carolyn. I never got it either.

I know just how you feel from the flame war that hit me when I first got here talking about physic's subjects that were put forward by real physicist that didn't agree with people here that aren't. When I tried to defend my posts with evidence outside of just my opinion, the scientists I used were lambasted, and I was accused of copy and posting, as if it was wrong. I finally deleted every post I made on physics---the sacred cow. Some people don't realize that just because something one posts seems stupid doesn't always mean it is, especially when experts in the field disagree. Stephen Hawking disagrees with most cosmologist on what he himself agreed with and nobody is listening now.   Solitary
