Oct 11, 2016 at 18:53 comment added user22613 @Schwern Yep. Especially when there are about 219038 people on Facebook named "God"
Oct 11, 2016 at 18:46 comment added Schwern @RudolfL.Jelínek Do you know how many people named "Noel" there are in the world now? God's a little out of touch about these new fangled "last names".
Oct 11, 2016 at 18:36 comment added user22613 How come I got 4 answers from you, Noel, and each under a different name? Wait! Waitwaitwait! Maybe you're not Noel... Oh God. Guess I'll burn in the fires of hell...
Oct 11, 2016 at 17:20 comment added Schwern @GrinningX Kiev is now a hotel. Minsk is a theme park. Admiral Gorshkov was sold to the Indian Navy. Varyag to the Chinese as a hotel. Oriskany was sunk as a reef... Carriers get sold all the time. It's moot, even a super carrier isn't big enough.
Oct 11, 2016 at 13:36 comment added GrinningX @Schwern - HMS Illustrious doesn't count, it's a light aircraft carrier. By definition, it's smaller than the standard aircraft carrier. Sure, it's a floating vessel that flying vehicles can land on, but so are yachts with helipads (if I may take an extreme). Pedantically you are right, but my intention was really in thinking of a Supercarrier class ship. In a pinch maybe a fleet carrier.
Oct 11, 2016 at 12:28 comment added JDługosz «about the two of every creature thing... genetics says no» so does Moses. Gen 7:2 «Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.» I’m bewildered how people remember this wrong—it’s like they never actually read the book.
Oct 11, 2016 at 1:14 comment added JDługosz Ah, right; we want the extra time to build and outfit and the extra room for building it, but we don’t want the time once it’s time to use it!
Oct 11, 2016 at 0:15 comment added Schwern @JDługosz I don't have one of those, and this is tagged "reality-check", but maybe God can loan me one. But it wouldn't work. Lorentz contraction is only relative to the outside observer. If we put the ark inside such a bubble, anything inside the ark would be contracted as well. There would be no net difference in capacity. If it did work now we have a new problem: 40 days and 40 nights outside the bubble become 400,000 days and 400,000 nights inside. 1100 years on the ark with 1100 years of food and water and supplies for hundreds of generations of animals.
