I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to make my husband take me back. One day at work, i was absent minded not knowing that my boss was calling me, so he sat and asked me what its was all about i told him and he smiled and said that it was not a problem. I never understand what he meant by it wasn't a problem getting my husband back, he said he used a spell to get his wife back when she left him for another man and now they are together till date and at first i was shocked hearing such thing from my boss. He gave me an email address of the great spell caster who helped him get his wife back, i never believed this would work but i had no choice that to get in contact with the spell caster which i did, and he requested for my information and that of my husband to enable him cast the spell and i sent him the details, but after two days, my mom called me that my husband came pleading that he wants me back, i never believed it because it was just like a dream and i had to rush down to my mothers place and to my greatest surprise, my husband was kneeling before me pleading for forgiveness that he wants me and the kid back home, then i gave Happy a call regarding sudden change of my husband and he made it clear to me that my husband will love me till the end of the world, that he will never leave my sight. Now me and my husband is back together again and has started doing pleasant things he hasn't done before, he makes me happy and do what he is suppose to do as a man without nagging. Please if you need help of any kind, kindly contact Happy for help and you can reach him via email: happylovespell2@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-85211661537680948042016-04-11T16:18:22.625-04:002016-04-11T16:18:22.625-04:00http://people.wku.edu/jan.garrett/kpa/robitime.htm...http://people.wku.edu/jan.garrett/kpa/robitime.htmclockwatchernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-83913168364225785082016-04-11T14:50:01.804-04:002016-04-11T14:50:01.804-04:00They can be detected at jet aircraft speeds: Aroun...They can be detected at jet aircraft speeds: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.177.4044.168" rel="nofollow">Around-the-World Atomic Clocks: Observed Relativistic Time Gains</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-76425097598910216912016-04-11T14:27:55.919-04:002016-04-11T14:27:55.919-04:00For extra credit, read about the Andromeda paradox...For extra credit, read about the Andromeda paradox.<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rietdijk%E2%80%93Putnam_argument<br />impCaesarAvghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03384806750440039982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-79453314752038860462016-04-11T14:23:32.044-04:002016-04-11T14:23:32.044-04:00Because it will go to sleep tonight.Because it will go to sleep tonight.impCaesarAvghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03384806750440039982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-64891647337094623052016-04-11T13:45:49.225-04:002016-04-11T13:45:49.225-04:00The slowest kid on the slowest moving train lectur...The slowest kid on the slowest moving train lectures Einstein, <i>Nova</i> and the rest of us on "incoherence."

It depends where she is on the track. But wherever she is, when she allows for the time it took the light to get to her, she finds that the forward strike preceded the rear strike.<br /><br />When I read Einstein's book many years ago, I thought it was clear. I haven't read it recently, so I won't give an opinion now on its clarity or murk. I haven't watched the Nova show, nor have I read Isaacson.<br /><br />Relativity is difficult because it contradicts our instincts. But if you accept that the man and woman both find the same speed of light, high school mathematics gives you the basis of special relativity.<br /><br />Suppose she has a flashlight. It seems obvious that its light should move at the same speed as light coming into the train through the window. Doesn't it?<br /><br />By the way, Bob made a tiny mistake. The 1905 theory was special, not general, relativity.impCaesarAvghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03384806750440039982noreply@blogger.com
