True, but I thought the relative difference in time was so small we would never be able to utilise it ?If you travel at the speed of light, your time effectively stops relative to a third party. You can't get a bigger difference than that. You could literally travel the width of the universe in a quantum of time.but your mass would be infinite right? So impossible as we understand at this timeAt the speed of light yes, but we could travel at 99.99999% the speed of light and achieve effectively the same. I was just trying to keep things simple. I could calculate how long it would take to tra

Don't answer this, lol, obviously the answer is tachyons. (Insert embarrassed face, lol).

But it's been proven that it isn't. LOL. Your inertial reference frame has absolutely no bearing on the measured speed of light. Unless you can postulate otherwise?
-
But you're absolutely right though, as I alluded to earlier. As our knowledge improves we may find a way around these problems. There's one we have already; Time dilation can be our friend as well as our enemy.

Only as we know it at the moment. Tomorrow could bring a huge leap forward with an unexpected discovery that would transform space travel.I'm not holding my breath. Maybe CERN will find a superluminous tachyon and special rel can go f**k itself. Or maybe we'll figure out wormhole technology.As a footnote, I watched Interstellar the other week. EPIC.... just EPIC! Both theoretical to one degree or another so yes, the theoretical super particle could be found (harnessing it would be another problem) and relativity has always been, well, relative The speed of light isn't relative, that's the

But that's it isn't it "our understanding" at the moment. How about our understanding tomorrow ? Then we reassess the situation and proceed accordingly. However based on today's knowledge my comments stand.

I think this speaks volumes; Top earners were the main target of recent tax increases under President Obama, but the federal income tax system is already highly progressive. The top 10 percent of income earners paid 68 percent of all federal income taxes in 2011 (the latest year available), though they earned 45 percent of all income. The bottom 50 percent paid 3 percent of income taxes, but earned 12 percent of income. From the US Federal Budget, 2011. http://www.heritage.org/federalbudget/top10-percent-income-earners How's that for unsubstantiated bullshit propaganda SilverSnake?
-
And if we break it down further, 30% of income tax revenue is from the top percentile of earners! So tell me again how they are dodging their fair share?
-
They either pay tax or they don't, we can't have it both ways just to suit. If they pay tax then the analogy holds true, if they don't then why all the bloody moaning when they are given a tax break? LOL I am sure some rich people pay tax but that analogy is one rich person paying 59cents in the dollar while nine others pay next to nothing. that analogy is BULL#%T made up by some clever capitalist to manipulate idiots. The truth of the matter is workers pay most of the tax which in turn provides the welfare. If you want to reward the greedy for being 'clever' or however you want to sell your

Anybody ever looked at the North Sea Oil Tax? I'd be bang at the old tax dodging when the figure is %!!!!!!!!

IMO that's a major problem with our politics. There's too often very little thought applied to a stance other than "Well those fuckers over there said it's black, so we had better say it's white!". He does seem a man of principle though, which is lacking. He's too left wing to do the party any good.......... so I hope he wins, LOL.
-
That is exactly what I was coming round to......... There's actually a little tale somewhere that illustrates it, about guys buying beer and the rich guy buys the most...but I can't find it...do you know which one it is... How Taxes Work . . . This is a VERY simple way to understand the tax laws. Read on — it does make you think!! Let's put tax cuts in terms everyone can understand. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for dinner. The bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men — t

It's got weird now mate, we've had an outbreak of common sense, and civil debate on a multicultural topic It's been quite refreshing to be honest.

Really! I didn't have you down as a sceptic mate! LOL LOL Seriously though, whenever I'm chatting to you on here I just imagine one of those anonymous masks! Haha

That said, if someone else would like to foot the bill for me, I'll send my account details.

Quick google search mate as the deal differs depending on the legislation when you enrolled; "The repayment threshold for the UK for the period April 15 to March 16 is £17,335. So anyone with an annual salary of over £17,335 is required to repay their loan and they pay 9% of their earnings over this threshold." Now don't misread that and believe that I'm saying 17k is top dollar. But it's not the bread line is it. 9% on earnings over 17K is hardly controlling a graduates life in anyway really. Not seeing as the average grad starting salary is around 30k I believe. Speaking as a gra

In my above post, the second quote makes the first quote false, it has to to be true itself. Maybe I have a different understanding of written English to you I don't know. I'm happy to disagree.

So why do Capitalists manipulate market forces if those market forces don't control the economy? I can't get my head round that statement. Capitalists create artificial shortages such as olil when the wells are running near capacity a glut and the market is starved of oil to keep the price artificially high. same with all commodities in the world economy be it oil gold gas food even bananas its not rocket science is it.Enough food is produced in the world to eliminate starvation but that would not be acceptable to the capitalists so even the conglomerate farmers will destroy crops to man
-
Okay, but aren't they two different scenarios really. Of course debt/credit can be used as control. However, coming back to the original topic of controlling the masses via education and all that. The debt just doesn't control anything. Hell, if you don't earn a decent wage it gets written off! LOL. It's a bit of a joke amongst students, it can hardly even be considered debt like that of a mortgage or loan. There's no collateral and no requirement to repay unless you are doing fairly well anyway. The whole elite controlling us and our education just doesn't ring true at all to me. The

Is that aimed at me or Wilf? If it's at me, I don't get the context..... prior to your post I was talking about Uni fees...
