No because God has always existed. We on this lower plane live in space and in time, which were created together. But God does not. He does not have an originator. He lives in a dimension above us: an eternal realm where there is no concept of time and space. The question is important for...

I'm in the middle of an astrophysics PhD (Dark Matter, Theory). Others have said what I would tell you already so I won't say much more. But I'll add that I would never recommend this path if your primarily motivated by financial gains (not saying you are)...or even if you feel obligated simply...

Dude I learned so much about typology from studying some of the things you researched that its a little weird seeing you take a test like this. I mean I don't care either way and you can do whatever you want, you're an open-minded guy. Still though. I believed u teecher. Now I have no...

Don't intend to criticize your thinking here but why do you think your body has some aversion to putting on muscle? I only say this because I was a pretty scrawny fellow myself for most of my life until a year or two after high school. I initially started lifting alone, then eventually with a...

I'm currently working towards buying a Dodge Viper. Although inspired by the original Shelby Cobra, the Dodge Viper is unique car in the sports car world, especially today. Several Vipers have set production car track records around the world, some of which stand today. Loud, curvaceous, widest...

I've thought about this before as well. If the present is continuous and the past is a projection of this continuum, we wouldn't know when the past has changed along with the continuous present.

I'd also be interested. I too have been thinking a lot recently about the "arrow of time" which many assumptions in physics are based on. I think this is incorrect as well as the idea that there is any real instant in time. The past and the future together form a continuous present...And the...

Vacuum cleaners suck. Hospitals don't suck, they are buildings. Maybe some people in hospitals suck, like nurses. They do in some adult movies.

Interesting thought. I've tried to do this with music. I'll hear an amazing piece for the first time and try to stay away from it a while but I inevitably end up playing it back even more times and the initial euphoria wears off.

I just remembered this thread today. I'm definitely one that takes absences from the forum and have numerous times over the years. I checked back in recently because I wanted to see what some of you folks thought about the presidential election and debates. After Hillary wins the next...

I should indicate when I take my periodic absences from the forum because I've done it quite a bit over the years. I may take a brief one soon.

One of my favorite games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b8nsgU7CT8

Sitting in the middle of a lecture of a Nobel laureate, who by the way is in his eighties, I noticed there are a few students in here who chuckle amongst themselves whenever he makes a mistake. This has happened throughout the course. Little shits. The fact that he's still sharp enough to...

Dinosaurs were not killed by asteroids. They were murdered. By Lizard people. David icke is not a Lizard people. He is a cannibalistic dinosaur who sold the dinosaurs out to the lizard people. Proof of this was destroyed in the bombing of tower 7 on 9/11. If you hold up a triangle over...

Cool. I'll definitely check it out when you're ready and done.

RIP Prince. (Guess this isn't 'random') My father was/is a musician for over 30 years. He grew up, like many other musicians of his day, a huge fan of Prince and his ability to create an entire album single-handedly and be really freaking good at playing every instrument. A small number of...

^What he said

By the way, INTPs also have Ne as well as ENTPs. For INTP it is an auxiliary function, so it works a little different than for ENTPs and ENFPs. For me, Ne shows up often with eye movement (because it is an explorative function). I joked with Auburn once and said Ne-dominants have "coffee eyes"...

I wish Auburn were around these days to help correct these things because he definitely has a better handle on PodLair! Auburn I think refers to INFJs in essentially the same way that PodLair does. The way that I read people is by observing of them in varying situations and interactions with...

I get my bachelors in physics in 2 months. Heading to grad school in astrophysics/cosmology. Will likely do theory. Very soon I will update this thread with my experiences throughout undergrad and the grad school process (Long post) It has been challenging, rewarding and exciting all at the...

I like green onions, so toss those on the grill along with asparagus. Maybe bell peppers as well. Of course, oven baked potato with butter and sour cream. Beverage, could go with a cold beer but red wine is always fine. I didn't mean to rhyme. Yes I did. After food settles, pass out on couch.

Short answer: Medium rare 18 0z bone-in grilled ribeye, with garlic herb butter.

I've been waiting for this for a while. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/feb/11/gravitational-waves-discovery-hailed-as-breakthrough-of-the-century?CMP=share_btn_fb

I wasn't sure what the target audience was either :) In fact that made some of my writing decisions incredibly difficult. In the end I decided 'hey it won't be perfect' and I attempted to lay the best foundation for the story going forward that I could. By the way I do get that the military...

For me, typology in general has been a huge help when entering situations that require me to meet new people. In travel/work/'business' I think any advantage you can get in terms of knowing an unfamiliar person with is a good thing. Usually I can type someone fairly quickly if they're expressing...

Hi dad. I swear I didn't touch the thermostat. Not too loudly with mom tonight. I don't want to take over the family business. Why weren't you there to change my underwear? The list goes on. Hi dad.

You make quality posts... *runs away*

Heh, well I can't really say your writing is good can I, since I only read an introduction. But it seemed interesting enough to keep reading which is half the battle for a successful story (Good beginnings and good endings carry a lot of weight which I'm sure you know). By the way thanks a...

The next movie I see will be 'Spectre' on Friday. I'll post my review here soon after.

Yeah I just wanted to see where you were at with your writing. There are too many INTPs who can write well but don't finish. I feel like I'm doing a pubic service by rooting you on haha

Did you get my message about your book? Just wanted to make sure.

This is fun. I took a chapter from the first book in my book series and got Arthur Clarke. I took a chapter from a different, stand-alone title I wrote and got Cory Doctorow. Never heard of him. *looks through amazon page*

Just finished my work in electronics lab a few minutes ago and listening to a future engineer about an idea he had for a propulsion system. Waiting around for my S.O. to get home so we can go to her aunt's house. Probably watch basketball, then a few movies and then get naughty on her's aunt's...

I get it. Was thinking earlier that I sound quite a lot like the person I've been avoiding becoming; that is, the doubtful "expert", though I am no such expert or person of that kind. Probably, in my mind I spend almost zero time trying to figure out how this might be possible based on...

Uhh, you want to colonize Jupiter? I'm trying to understand what you mean by colonize planets in our system when the only other one we can actually step foot on without quickly dying is Mars. I'd bet you didn't mean this, but just saying though... And do we really have the technology today to...

This guy is a freaking genius. And I'm pretty sure He's INTP. https://youtu.be/yvHYWD29ZNY

Neil is supremely cool. I've watched many of the panel discussions he's hosted and he's very funny in addition to his brilliance. I saw a few episodes of the show when I first started and thought the CGI was nice looking. OP: yeah that has been one of the great mysteries and disappointments...

I'm not sure he's an INTP but there's this guy I read about in a book named Walter L Shaw. A genius inventor with 30+ patents to his name but incredibly naive. Ended up working for the mob (which his son, Walter T. Shaw joined) after getting ripped off by Bell after his patent money dried up...

I agree with this. Temporal series of past events is certainly NOT infinite and our 4D space-time is not infinite and probably causal. BUT There might be more than our 4D space-time and it could be non-causal and infinite. I'm still trying to reconcile the finite with the infinite though...

That's what infinitesimals are. Things that infinitely approach zero but never get there. As much trouble as people have with infinity and infinitesimals, if people were more careful conceptually, they'd have a lot to chew on with zero. Infinity makes a lot more sense to me by comparison. Even...

That is an infinitesimal. I don't see a reason why there would be any lower or upper bounds on the universe. I think one day we'll find out that the universe has always (more or less) been here, simply changing form. And that its 10^26m observable size is only a marble in an abyss. I also...

Hey I'd like to contribute to this! :) I'm just about done with my bachelors and will be headed to grad school next fall. I've always been a sporadic INTPf poster so whenever I do check in, I'll share my thoughts and experiences. I'll try to remember to at least post at the beginnings and...

I lol'd.

I couldn't resist. https://youtu.be/UEaKX9YYHiQ

I just did this about a month ago. I'm very excited for Spectre. I was in the camp that thought Skyfall was arguably the best bond flick ever, even moreso than Casino with Craig's efforts. Skyfall was the best impression of classic Bond fused with Craig's taciturn detachment. And the visuals...

My setup yesterday was with a 60 mm telescope. I used my phone (Galaxy Note 4) to take pictures. Again by the time I actually got the telescope out it had already started to become cloudy. Such a shame because the first half hour of the eclipse's peak there weren't any clouds. I blame myself...

Close to never. When I didn't have an SO (over 5 years ago) I preferred to be alone most of the time. But even then it was more 'solitary explorer' than 'hermit'. I never minded talking to strangers or whatever because my intent was always for continuous learning and wandering :D I did...

Unfortunately by the time I got my telescope out the clouds were here to stay. Dissipated a little later but by that time the Earth had already moved half out of the way. Boy was it a big, full red before then though. Wish I'd actually planned to take out my telescope tonight (didn't think...

That's very INFJ Hey, hey, hey. I still use that to annoy my SO on a daily basis.
