If I could get over my completely irrational fear of sardines, that's all I would ever eat. They really do seem to be the only true 'superfood'.

Oh wow! I do inverted deadlifts because I'm not strong enough to do the levers -- much respect to you that you can do them!!!

The weird thing is that -- I feel so fantastically strong, and yet I can't hold a lever for more than 0.2 seconds. Then I turn on youtube, and see people like you... and I can't even imagine where that extra strength would come from. It's mystifying.

But then I remember my farmboy friends from my youth, and I could bench way more than them, but when we wrestled, I was basically just a sack of potatoes.

Do try the vitamin C thing. Because we're on a 'conspiracies' site, I'll admit that I really think it's the wonder drug. Since I started focusing in on it, I literally feel perfect every day. There's nothing that I can do to my body that's not healed after a night's sleep. It's... astonishing.

Jack(numbers),

Ok, I sort of understand what you're saying.

Ah, so now that I think about it... you're probably aware of the 'dark matter' problem, where it seems that galaxies have a spherical distribution of mass, despite appearing planar. But now that I think about it, the gravitational information would have to propagate 'instantaneously' in order to maintain the spherical symmetry at distances of 100 000 light years.... I wonder why I never thought of that before?

By 'slow light', I guess I mean 'tired light' -- the big 'proof' of the Big Bang/Expanding Universe is that distant stars are red-shifted. But this could also be explained by assuming that light loses energy as it propagates. We could never verify this, because the light from distant galaxies travels 'billions' of years, whereas we've only had the capacity to measure light accurately for dozens of years.

As for Black Holes... well, any relativist will tell you that Einstein's equations make predictions about space-time within the event horizon. But, of course, we can never measure anything within the event horizon, so the mathematics are irrelevant.

I'm happy enough with the concept of a 'black hole' because as soon as you set up energy-mass equivalence you get a black hole -- the Schwarzchild radius can, of course, be motivated simply using Newtonian gravitation and Planck's law.

I do miss the pre-covid days where we could pretend that scientists were super-smart and life would constantly get better. Now the opposite of both points seems more true.

Ok, so I agree with the first part of your 3rd paragraph. LIGO was, well...ligo.

But, for me, the essence of gravitational waves is their propagation at the speed of light (or information, as it were). So, as regards the rest of your third paragraph: I'd be relatively happy with a real demonstration of gravitational waves... I'm also happy with Newton's laws modified by E-mc@2... or 'slowlight', if you wish.

Wait, I genuinely don't understand what you're trying to say. Can you elaborate?

One big thing: Chin-ups/inverted deadlifts. If you do chin-ups in the correct 'hollow-body' position, they'll rip your abs, too. 'Pull ups' (palms facing away) are better for the back, but chin-ups will give you proportional and esthetic biceps.

Also: you mentioned walking, but just to deepen it a bit, your eyes should always be staring out at the horizon. If you look down, you'll end up 'lifting your knees' rather than walking.

I eat turmeric/ginger/garlic/lime almost all the time. I can't say that it helps, but it doesn't hurt.

The big key is: vitamin C, preferably as real fruit. I go for Pineapple, Papaya, Dragon Fruit, Guava. Grapefruit is probably the best, but horrifically expensive here. Since I started doing this, I literally have no aches and pains whatsoever. Like: never.

I know this will sound a bit stupid... but I'm not sure that I believe in the 'immune system' anymore.

Consider the 'corona virus'. It was allegedly deadly to 80+ year olds. Fine. That makes sense.

But it was barely deadly at all to 40 year olds... but there are tons (literally!) of enormously fat people in the USA who do no exercise, and live off Doritos and Mountain Dew. Surely their 'immune systems' can't be strong enough to ward off viruses...

To be honest, I can't remember a time when all members of my family were sick So I suppose my anecdotes are different than yours.

Wow! Sounds just like Magic!

Gravity? Are you retarded?

No: index of refraction and its variation with temperature and pressure. Relatively normal situations lead to this phenomenon. Rarer atmospheres, like the desert, lead to mirages.

You must know this.

If you're just a troll, how do you muster such righteous indignation? I've never been a good liar, so it always astonishes me when chicks, say, double down.

But this is easily explainable. Are you just trolls?

Thanks!

Dude, jewish women fuck all and sundry.

Why are flat-earthers so belligerent?

I ask every time why can I... fly either east or west from Toronto... and end up in Toronto. And the response is always: educate yourself. Nah, bro. This is an extremely basic question that you should be able to answer in a few words. In fact, you should be happy to explain it.

Communist revolution, weimar degeneracy, subversion of institutions... same stuff, different year.

Hitler was virtually perfect. You just have to cut through the (((jewish))) lies to see it.

Brother, I'm always on your side. But given the events of the last two years, this is not 'retarded' bullshit. It's just 'unlikely' bullshit.
