{quote} Sounds like she was a wonderful with solid values! May she rest in peace! I never understood the need to text while driving, I suspect it has more to do with rising dopamine levels being exploited by mobile tech where such addictions that compel particularly in the youth to not think rationally. What is even more scarier is being the other responsible driver who has to share the road with these risk factors that poses such life threatening situations.

Not at all to insult my Brit friends, our media had wedding mania this week also but I thought this was just too funny not to share! {image}

{quote} The problem is, I believe, if you could travel in time would you physically remain at the same coordinates? ..and if you did where would the planet that you stand on be at the new time? So you might succeed in achieving a time-shift (he says, disengaging certain credible thought processes) and suddenly find yourself 10,000 feet underground, or on the dark side of pluto, or somewhere. {quote} My first wife did that. IMHO it is not necessarily a male thing. As you can see, we are all still here (I was in the passenger seat ! ).

{quote} Thank you. Texting is a major problem here. It is particularly bad among the youth who aren't experienced drivers anyway. Never do it myself, pull over if I do have to text or get in an involved phone call.

{quote} We can always look backwards but we can never go back. This fascinates me: imagine you are an alien somewhere in Alpha Centauri about 4.4 light years away. Let us assume time is the same there as here for clarity's sake. You take a round trip to observe Earthlings and you travel close to the speed of light. At the speed of light, time stands still. Therefore, you will do the 4.4 light years in, what seems like to you, a few days. You head back to Alpha Centauri and your round trip is the distance of 8.8 light years but to you it may be a...

To get anywhere significant in the universe, you really need to be travelling close to the speed of light. We may have aliens visiting us from hundreds of thousands of light years away, but maybe they cannot go back as their world no longer exists and they're stuck in our world. So visiting farther parts of the universe is possible but it is a one way ticket. You won't be able to report back to those you left behind.

{quote} Hence I need plenty of metal and airbags. Using your phone whilst driving is illegal here. Honestly I don't know why we need an extra law as it is already covered under "driving without due care and attention." If I needed to text whilst driving, I just tell my car to do it. Why the need to physically type in your phone? Same if I needed to make a call. Back to the point that men do more stupid things; from observation, most of the men I've known are pretty competent but then there seems some insane trigger where they have to take...

{quote} That's what I meant about checking assumptions. First, looking back as in out of the back door. What would you 'see'? Theoretically nothing, or everything rather red depending upon... Second, the engineer in me says that if you travel from Alpha Centauri to anywhere, and back, in an amount of time that appears to be weeks, but should have been 9 years, how old are the things that remained on Alpha Centauri. We have no evidence to support a claim that they would be either 9 years older or a few weeks older. {quote} No sub-space communications...

{quote} I am not sure where the risk pool originated from in America in which insurance companies use as an excuse for charging outrageous prices for coverage between the ages of 18 and 25, as they deem as the risk pool and most likely of that age group to be involved in an accident of some kind. I suspect it started when a high number of vehicular fatalities occurred singling out certain groups that revealed a pattern. Maybe it is a combination of both, but nevertheless statistics support that argument. How expensive is it to own a car in the UK?...

{quote} It seems to me in order to fix the problem texting while driving is to make the fines so severe such as very large fines levied for would be offenders would work two fold. One, it would probably act as a huge deterrent and make people think twice about texting and driving and the other is a means to generate revenue for the municipalities in which such offenses would occur. Win win!
