    OK here's a dumb question I've had for a while. What are all the numbers that the little star things change at? Like EXACTLY how many posts until you get the second, third, etc. star?

    And just to throw you for a loop, is there and how fast is the speed of dark?

    Okay...
    I'm estimating here, but I'm sure this is how it goes...

    10 posts= 1 star

    150 posts= 2 stars

    350-400 posts= 3 stars

    YOU MUST BE A MOD FOR 4 STARS

    YOU MUST BE ADMIN FOR 5 STARS

    just to be an idiot...
    light is measured as a quanta of energy and was 1st calculated by the thomson experiment, which was also used to measure the charge to mass ratio of the electron, (which allowed the speed of light to be calculated). Assuming the aether doesn't exist. (it being theoretically impossible to disproove a theory...), then pure darkness is simply the absence of any quanta of light, reflected or whatever. Thus darkness has no velocity because it is simply nothingness. (in purest form.)

    Even if observed in another frame of reference, acording to Einstiens theory of special relativity, then light is the only constant in the universe, (other than death and taxes.:D ),
    and thus the speed would be a constant. Thus even acceleration up to the speed of light, wouldn't change the speed of darkness. thus it has no velocity.

    see?. it takes a stupid person to answer a stupid question.

    i never noticed those star thingies before.....

    since this thread seems to have no purpose anyway, at the risk of a deletion i'll pose another dumb question
    which came first, the chicken or the egg. (think hard, there actually IS an answer.:p )

    I thought it was according to your post number too but The Jackal's arguement is really one you can't fight... Maybe it has something to do with post number and posts per day? Maybe? Oh I don't know... it's three and I'm tired too! I should be asleep... anyway uhhh... Egg!

    The egg came first because the whole deal with evolution and dinosaurs, yeah? If you meant eggs in general obviously the egg came first. And even if you looked at it as an egg that a chicken hatches from, the egg would have come first because inside the egg is where the creature evolved to a chicken from whatever it was before. The second part wouldn't apply if you were religious I guess... Sorry if I sounded dumb I'm really beat... *yawn*

    I know what, just look for what you seek in the FAQ, you will find the answer :)
