With respect to thiotimoline and its contra-indication as a rudimentary "Heisenberg failure" --


Now once more we can broaden our scope. We can pass from the 'tetrahedral carbon atom' to the 'endochronic carbon atom', in which the two planes of carbon valence bonds are not both spatial in the ordinary sense. One, instead, is temporal. It extends in time, that is. In the temporal plane, one bond extends toward yesterday and one toward tomorrow. Such a carbon atom cannot be presented on paper in the ordinary way and no effort will be made to do so.

Such an endochronic carbon atom is obviously very unstable and can occur only rarely, in fact only within the molecule of thiotimoline as far as we know. What there is in thiotimoline structure to cause this, what sort of super steric hindrance is as yet unknown, but the endochronic atom undoubtedly exists. As a result of its existence, a small portion of the thiotimoline molecule exists in the past and another small portion in the future. It is this small portion of the molecule existing the future which is dissolved by water which also exists in the future. The remainder of the molecule is dragged into solution in the process and thus 'dissolves' in water which to all appearances is not there.
I guess this hits too close to home for our resident Serious Theolgians. cleanhippie May 2013 #1
I guess the words are just too big for me. hrmjustin May 2013 #2

I'm not a Calvinist and don't understand their thinking, so I can't comment struggle4progress May 2013 #7
I've visited their campus, and can recommend the slots. n/t dimbear May 2013 #9
Well, none of our Serious Theologians want to respond, but they DO want to hide it! cleanhippie May 2013 #10
An alert was sent for this post. A jury voted 4/2 to Leave It Alone Sekhmets Daughter May 2013 #11
Yep. I guess our Serious Theologians would rather hide it than respond. cleanhippie May 2013 #12

Do you think it's because they are illegally using the trademark Serious Theologian? cleanhippie May 2013 #14
I'm surprised they haven't trademarked skepticscott May 2013 #15

Funding? "Serious Theology" is like homeopathy. cleanhippie May 2013 #18

A humorous spoof of a scientific paper, written by Isaac Asimov... trotsky May 2013 #23
Oh. You mean like the Alan Sokal paper, LTX May 2013 #24
Asimov purposely wrote it as a spoof, so it should be no surprise. trotsky May 2013 #25
Well, I guess you're right. LTX May 2013 #26
Just so you know, you're attempting to change the subject. trotsky May 2013 #27
"A fraud is not the same as a hoax." I'll have to remember that one. LTX May 2013 #28
Thank you LTX. thucythucy May 2013 #31
Good, you should remember it. trotsky May 2013 #32
Perhaps we can agree that LTX May 2013 #33
Quite simply, "replicating word salad" is not the same as falsifying research. trotsky May 2013 #34
And here is a test for you. LTX May 2013 #35
Many artists' statements are equally dense. okasha May 2013 #36
For the record, you are the one to use the term "ignorant." trotsky May 2013 #37
Since the examples LTX May 2013 #38
