We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone. He started coming home late from work, he hardly care about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr Unity can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he did a spell for me. Three days later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Unity . If you need a spell caster that can cast a spell that truly works, I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you. This is his E-mail: Unityspelltemple@gmail.com .<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-27993846445819143192016-04-04T13:00:41.590-04:002016-04-04T13:00:41.590-04:00Here's the thought experiment according to Alb...Here's the thought experiment according to Albert Einstein:<br /><br />[QUOTE] <i>When we say that the lightning strokes A and B are simultaneous with respect to the embankment, we mean: the rays of light emitted at the places A and B, where the lightning occurs, meet each other at the mid-point M of the length A --> B of the embankment.

In fact, it's impossible to understand most classical physics -- the theory that modern physics builds on, rather than eliminates -- without mathematics. It's theory that's expressed mathematically, not in terms of the little stories so loved by story-loving people the world over. It's not just physics, but so many of the complicated systems that define modern technological societies, that can't be understood, let alone explained, in terms of little bits of infotainment on the teevee!

It is true that the man sees both flashes while standing on the platform before he sees her face illuminated for the first of the two different times it will be illuminated by the two bolts. However, thereafter he does some geometric calculations. The man concludes that, whereas, the light from both bolts reached him where he was standing before some of the light he saw from the bolt which struck next to the engine and then bounced off the the lady's face was light which reached the lady before any light reached him.<br /><br />Some of the light from the bolt next to the engine reaches the lady first, other light- having taken a direct path to him- then reaches the man, the light reflected from the lady's face then arrives where the man is, having taken a non direct route from the strike point to the lady first.CMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481861530761114492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-40043087757183055752016-04-03T11:22:47.837-04:002016-04-03T11:22:47.837-04:00This post proves Bob knows how to treat a fast mov...This post proves Bob knows how to treat a fast moving lady on a train.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-52775820728113641052016-04-03T08:20:52.010-04:002016-04-03T08:20:52.010-04:00If the woman is passing the man at the moment when...If the woman is passing the man at the moment when he sees both lightening strikes, this statement by Nova is FALSE: "Light from the front strike reaches her eyes first." Light from both strikes reaches her eyes at the same time.

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.

The light from one strike will reach his eyes first, followed by the light from the other strike.</i><br /><br />Yes, but in the case of the two men on the platform the first man knows* that the two bolts struck at equal distances from where he was standing. That's what's significant about <b>when</b> the light reached him. Otherwise, all he would know is that the light from two bolts reached him at the same time, without knowing whether they struck the ground simultaneously or, in other words, whether one bolt struck further away from him than the other.<br /><br />When comparing notes with the man at the end of the platform the first man would then be able to explain to the second man that the reason he, the man at the end of the platform, saw two flashes with an interval between them is because he was not standing at a point equidistant from where the two bolts struck. <br /><br />It was a dark and stormy night. The woman on the train also knows where the bolts struck. One bolt illuminated the engine, the other bolt illuminated the caboose. As she's sitting in the middle of the train's middle car and she knows that the bolt that illuminated the engine struck first. (She's sitting at a window seat that bulges out from the side of the passenger car and when she looks in one direction she can see the side of the engine and when she looks in the other direction she can see the side of the caboose. She was so startled when the first bolt hit the ground and illuminate the engine, she turned away only to then see the second bolt strike and illuminate the caboose. That's how she knows the bolts struck at different times, otherwise she might assume the second one struck further away from her than the first one she saw.)<br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/ev9zrt__lec?start=318&end=422&autoplay=0" rel="nofollow">[LINK]</a><br /><br />* Or at least we, the omniscient outside observers, know that the man on the platform imagined by Einstein was standing equidistant from the two lightning strikes.<br /><br />CMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481861530761114492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-78353180835615693732016-04-02T18:47:35.005-04:002016-04-02T18:47:35.005-04:00Sure, if light travels infinitely fast.

The woman reaches out the window, the man reaches up, their fingertips touch. The flash from the forward strike and the flash from the rear strike reach the man's fingertip just as the woman's fingertip touches it. Then the two flashes reach her fingertip at the same time. These four occurrences:<br />1. The forward flash reaches the man's fingertip.<br />2. The rear flash reaches the man's fingertip.<br />3. The forward flash reaches the woman's fingertip.<br />4. The rear flash reaches the woman's fingertip<br />are actually one event. They occur at the same time and place, as seen by any observer.<br /><br />To the man, the two strikes are at the same distance, therefore they were simultaneous. To the woman, the forward lightning bolt was approaching her, and the rear lightning bolt was receding from her. (She knows that because of the red- and blue-shifts.) For the forward flash and rear flash to have reached her simultaneously, the approaching bolt must have struck before the receding bolt. She can confirm by parallax that the forward, approaching, bolt was farther than the rear, receding bolt.impCaesarAvghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03384806750440039982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-55559791715811924752016-04-01T23:06:50.255-04:002016-04-01T23:06:50.255-04:00That was Uncle Harry going viral!

The slowest kid on the train tells me what...Great. The slowest kid on the train tells me what I can and cannot understand.<br /><br />Yes, closer events seem to happen sooner than farther events, but we can take account of the distance to calculate when the events happened. You can't change the thought experiment without changing the results. Try to deal with the experiment as it's stated. The facts are simple:<br /><br />1. Lightning strikes at the ends of the train car when the man on the platform is adjacent to the woman standing at the midpoint of the moving train car.<br /><br />2. The distance the light has to travel is the same for both the man and the woman, namely one-half the length of the train car. That's because the woman is standing at the midpoint of the train car, and the man is standing half a train car's length from the lightening strikes. That what it means for the man and woman to be adjacent.<br /><br />3. Both the man and the woman find the same value for the speed of light. That's true for everybody who measures the speed of light, no matter their motion relative to the light source. You can take that as a given experimental result, or you can trust that it's a logical consequence of Maxwell's equations for electromagnetism, which have also been confirmed by experiment.<br /><br />4. Because the distances are equal for both the man and the woman, and the speed of light is the same for the man and the woman, they will both calculate that the light from both events takes the same amount of time to reach them.<br /><br />5. Because the woman is moving toward the light from the strike at the front of the car and away from the light at the back of the car, she will see light from the front of the car first. But the elapsed time for the light to travel from the front of the car to her is the same as the elapsed time for the light to travel from the back of the car to her. She will have no choice to conclude that the reason she saw the light from the front of the car first is that the lightning strike at the front of the car happened before the strike at the back. For the woman, the strikes aren't simultaneous.<br /><br />6. For the man, the strikes are simultaneous. And, I swear that if you post more dumb stuff that man is going to throw himself in front of the next train. So try harder.deadratnoreply@blogger.com
