Talk:After Worlds Collide

message: After Bronson Alpha destroys Earth, wouldn't the planetesimals likely have coalesced rather quickly thereafter?   I haven't read the book yet, but it looks like the main article could be improved by linking it to an article on the coalescence of planetesimals to planets.   Haven't there been a number of computer models built for figuring out how many centuries or thousands of years it takes for a coalescing planet to finish gravitating into a single gravitational source?
I am not really familiar with the research that relates to the question, but it was my understanding that most of the mass & momentum is conserved, and generally coalesces very rapidly after a direct hit.   Longer, if it is just a grazing blow.   Any links to the question at hand would be appreciated.   Thanks.   Dexter Nextnumber (talk) 20:55, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Computer models for coalescence of planetoids? 

message: In reading the synopsis of this novel one must bear in mind that it was originally published in 1933.  So many of the axioms we take for granted today, were completely unknow at the time of its writting. If one reads it bearing in mind the knowledge we have available to us today, the novel has some drasticaly inacurate scientific assumptions.  However, in my opinion, it is a great deal like reading H.G. Wells, and Jules Vern; one must make allowances for the limited scope of knowledge of the time, and while reading we should set aside and make allowances for the Encyclopeadic knowledge we have gained since that time. If one is able to do this,there is a very enjoyable and suspensful story told in both of the novels.  In no way do I beleive Martians will attack our planet, however, it does not stop me from enjoying "War of the Worlds"  Andrew Gero Jr.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.104.165.227 (talk) 07:15, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Xynide (talk) 17:25, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

message: "On January 17, 2023, a polar bear fatally attacked a 24-year-old mother and her 1-year-old boy just outside the Kingikmiut School in Wales, Alaska during a snowstorm. The attack prompted the school to go into lockdown as staff attempted to scare off the bear away from the school with shovels. The bear stopped mauling its victims only to turn on the staff members, who then retreated back into the school. School principal Dawn Hendrickson closed the door behind the fleeing staff members before the bear could make its way inside, potentially saving lives of the students and staff inside. A member of community later shot the bear, killing it. The bear had chased other members of the community before the fatal attack in front of the school." - Quote from a draft article

thread_title:  [[Sadism and masochism]]? 

message: A very important point that should be mentioned is the addictive conditioning regarding those who  get into pain play and Self Injure. I have been a SI sufferer and when receiving therapy with a psychologist, a major factor I discovered is the highly addictive nature of "pain play".  I think this addiction relates to the subsequent endorphin levels. I found through my SI that the more pain that is induced, the higher the pain threshold. When the pain is controlled this is what happens. It becomes pleasurable - and addictive. (For those who have never self harmed, that would be difficult to understand) This is a fact that I had to understand to reduce my SI behaviour.  Furthermore my SI behaviour was as a result of childhood pain (corporal punishment or smacking) and sexual abuse. I think the author could mention "pain play" relating to self-injurers to help SI sufferers and raise further awareness on this issue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Svetlanov (talk • contribs) 
:You are probably looking for the article self harm - this article focuses on pain play in the sense of sadism and masochism. And in fact, both those articles mention the possibility of the behaviour being addictive (though we have no source for it). To be honest this article should probably be merged into sadism and masochism - as I say above, I'm not sure how it differs, and this seems a rather poor article. Mdwh 10:45, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Brute fact

message: Characterizing ethical facts as institutional rather than brute is correct, but certainly not NPOV, in the Wikipedia sense. There are many philosophers who would argue the reverse. John McDowell, for instance, refers to many ethical principles as 'demands of reason', which would presumably give them a similar status to, e.g. mathematical facts, described here as (probably) 'brute'.

thread_title:  ethical facts 

message: EXISTENCE is the only reality that cannot ever be explained as grounded on another reality more fundamental i.e. radical than EXISTENCE ITSELF.
The question then is how man comes to know existence.
Simple, man comes to know existence by his experience of existence.
For example, how does man come to know the nose in his face? 
One man by the experience of touching the nose in his face, and several men by mutual experience of touching each other's nose.
Now, at this point, some thinkers might insist that it is not existence but non-existence that is the even more fundamental and radical reality than existence.
But what is non-existence at all, when man cannot even think up what is non-existence, except from his knowledge of existence?
It is not at all possible for man to know in a way what is non-existence, unless man first knows what is existence, and then by contradicting existence, man comes to know in a way what is non-existence.
Take the example of the nose in our face, we first come to know the existence of the nose in our face, and then in a way we know what is the non-existence of the nose in our face, by contradicting the fact that the nose exists in our face.
Enact this experiment:
1. Let several men touch each other's nose. 
2. There, you know now you all individually have a nose in your face. 
3. Now, let one of you (don’t do this, but it can be done with a doll to attain the same purpose of the experiment) slit off his nose for the love of knowledge.
4. Now, everyone knows what is 'no nose', starting with the doll representing one of the human participants in the experiment.
What then is a brute fact?
It is an instance of existence that cannot be explained by another fact more fundamental than itself the brute fact, because the brute fact is already the ultimate fundamental ground that is the basis of all other facts whatsoever, and the only example of a brute fact is the fact of existence.
There has always and everywhere been existence; and even in the status in which status there was no universe existing that is today investigated by scientists i.e. physical cosmologists: there is existence.
And existence could not have come from non-existence – except in an irrational fiction for the amusement of our mind.
Think about that!
