Scientists basically agree on a couple of universal truths.
1) Big Bang Theory - 13 billion years ago the universe was a speck of unimaginable energy. Hence, the origin of The Bang.
2) Observable Universe - We can only "see" as far 13 billion light years because light further out than that hasn't had time enough to reach us yet. As such we don't know how much further any limit to the universe actually is.

So, the Big Bang, 13 billion years ago, is predicated on running the "movie" of the universe in reverse and projecting its age.
How do we know this would ever end if we don't know the actual limit?
The "movie" running in reverse may never stop if there isn't any limit to the universe. We haven't seen that limit.

The best we can say is the universe is at least 13 billion years old. It may have no age at all.
What is right when you only "know" just so much...?

Admitting you may have learned something because a post got you thinking is not a sign of weakness.
I PG'd a couple of your posts because you can't seem to grasp the slightest hint of that notion.

All these facts are assumptions life isn't a series parallel situation. Series parallel situation is each object is spontaneously separated in combinations of movements being the whole universe evolving equally forward now as simultaneously a different total sum present all the time each part exists so far.

Eternity is a balance point of eternal changes combined as currently changing forward so far. Evolution theory is projecting it doesn't happen this way..

Sarcasm is called lies. Mean stuff is inaccurately referred to as sarcasm. Analogies taken out of context.

Things that are just pounded home day after day. Useless for the most part except to try to needle someone.
Sure, there are times when a "reminder" makes sense. Priceless stuff.
Most of it ain't priceless though.

Once in a great while when someone admits they were wrong a modicum of respect is shown.
Maybe even a greenie or two. So why is it so rare?
Is being an infallible Chatroom Champ really that enticing?

There many examples of all this crap but I'm starting out neutral.  Image

On the other hand, nothing wrong with changing one’s point of view, if it fits their conscience.

Reality's time management of social outcomes daily or real time daily living just adapting since conceived in series parallel positions of ancestry limited to adapting to life dawn to dusk every rotation alive since personally added to life by genetic outcomes so far.

Einstein's relative time theory distorts actual time adapting as displaced since conception. It manages time by clocks using international dateline and Greenwich prime meridian as division between two east and west halves of each rotation forward other two halves are day facing the core of the solar system and night gazing at the universe beyond this atmosphere by each ancestor alive now.

Oh then there are the two halves each side of the equator. wow 6 halves of a whole physical object universally balancing one of a kind locations by periodic element combinations same way chromosomes are never same total sum per reproduction living each rotation staying the same form as their original fertilized cell until a decomposed corpse personal cycle in the circle of life philosophy living could exceed adapting forward today.

MY anger issues are focused on how corruption doesn't get corrected by rule of law in any alternate reality dividing 5 ancestral lineages each of their 5 generation gaps living daily here without harming the corrupted since birth by their own societal promises of artificial tomorrows every day, dawn to dusk rule of law only acknowledged midnight to noon 7 days a week ideas living is more than personally adapting here now.

@Blackvegetable  Oh, there’s no doubt this hits home for our very own Grifticles, First of His Name, King of the Copy/Paste, Defender of the Dodge, Breaker of Threads, and Lord of the Ask-Me-Why.

The OP asks why it’s so rare to admit being wrong? Because for Grifticles aka Veghead, being wrong isn’t possible. He doesn’t make mistakes—he just reinterprets them as victories, buries them under 18 paragraphs of faux-intellectual rage, then shifts the topic to "****" metaphors and “literacy” pop quizzes. And that infallible “Chatroom Champ” persona? He wears that like a badge of honor pinned to a suit made of recycled Bloomberg links and other people’s quotes. Ask him to admit an error and you’ll get:
  • A question about your question.
  • A demand for a time-stamped citation
  • A five-year-old quote of yours reposted 37 times
  • And finally: “You're a moron. Ask me why.”
So yes, while some of us use this place to learn and grow, Grifticles uses it to run drills on how fast he can sprint from accountability. But hey—maybe one day he’ll surprise us all, step out of his digital trench coat, and whisper the forbidden words:
“I was wrong.”
We’ll all faint.
And he’ll immediately deny saying it and blame autocorrect. Until then... carry on, Your Highness of Never-Wrongistan.

That's basically what I was getting at. I have revised my outlook on a few things.
This specific website only spurred me to check out things for myself. That's a good thing.

I don't credit posters here for changing my mind; merely helping me boost my incentive. ;)

Corrected a word in your with a hyphen in the quote above. con-spiritual beliefs intellect came before instincts navigate space when sharing time alive now.

It isn't personal jefftec. it is how vocabulary is used socially between generation gaps repeating history daily expecting better tomorrows by defying how evolving works genetically eternally separating ancestors daily here.

A perfect example is your unwavering support of an incompetent and fully incapable president even as his decline became more and more evident. You are sort of a Joe Scarborough here. Many posts, very frequently wrong-headed, unable to admit to anything... A true Chatroom Champ.

Also, your post is a great example of your predictable "accuse others of that which you are guilty".
Thank you for participating.

That is just to name a few.  You blame others, you lie, and basically are a dishonest POS.  If your daughter thinks you are wonderful she too is a POS.

My view on certain politicians has changed with time.

Overall my "Principles" have barely moved all the years Ive posted here.

Heck I make fun of "Both Sides" but my basic values have not changed one eyota

I was wrong a couple of years ago.

@*HooooeyVagina asked me where I believed surveys of Presidential scholars would rank the Biden presidency.

I suggested he would be ranked in the low to mid 20s.

@*HooooeyVagina was right to scoff at my prediction.

I was wrong.

You missed a prediction? How courageous of you to admit that two years later, you panty dancing fraud. I proved you wrong with a you tube link consisting of CONGRESSIONAL TESTIMONY, giving you the start and end time of the 46 seconds that proved you wrong, and you insisted that you didn't trust youtube clips and demanded a transcript.

You run from questions like a bitch - you're the biggest **** on the board, you cowardly fapper.
