It's why when I watch something like Star Trek I comprehend that a transporter is possible but the way the transporter works is terrifying because it breaks all of your particulate matter apart and then places all of your particular matter back together the equal one transported person

@DAnnaHawkinsHensley-kf8nm Ай бұрын

In the particulate matter would also need to be broken apart in a manner that doesn't damage the particulate matter so that when the particulate matter read materializes the particulate matter equals the one

All of the molecules in all of the particulates equal 1 the formula is H2O and H2O equals one raindrop equals one glass of water one bottle of water One River one lake one stream one ocean one sea when the molecules of oxygen and the molecules of hydrogen are combined to equal H2O they have combined to formula water

@DAnnaHawkinsHensley-kf8nm Ай бұрын

It is how there is more complex math with particulates it is why chemistry isn't easy why are chemistry is complex and why it is that you must be able to comprehend a molecule and that those molecules are only a particulate until they have all connected to create a creation at whatever creation the molecules together create

You want more complex math because I'm going to do this so maybe you can figure this out if I have a puzzle and there are 500 pieces to the one puzzle each piece of the puzzle is 1/500 of the puzzle and whenn you connect 2 pieces of the puzzle you have 2/500 of the puzzle and when you have connected 500 pices of the puzzle 500/500 then you have = 1 completed puzzle

It doesn't matter how large the oxygen molecule is or how large the hydrogen molecule is as long as it equals H2O and H2O equals water in order for there to be frozen precipitation or water there must be another guest included for there to be snow or ice and if there is snow and ice but there is no precipitation did the atmosphere has been depleted oxygen and hydrogen or the molecules of oxygen and hydrogen can't combine to equal H2O I don't know if I send up the concentrated precipitation cloud balloons if Mars would start rotating as Mars once did because there is oxygen and hydrogen if there wasn't there wouldn't be Frozen H2O liquid

The object is to NOT commit crimes that involve imprisonment - not to reward people. How about all of the law-abiding citizens who actually have to pay for such knowledge. Stop rewarding criminals and reward people who DO NOT commit crimes. Disgusting.

@Bl00dMalice Ай бұрын

Truth is, these prisoners probably have more motivation and passion to learn than most that have to pay. There are plenty of college kids that throw their parents money away either on useless degrees or simply not studying that hard. And honestly, you're contradicting yourself in your first statement. Teaching people these skills does just that: preventing them from committing a crime again. And that's a better way to look at this program than as some kind of reward.

@kimb8773 Ай бұрын

@@Bl00dMalice Good for you in thinking that an education stops people from committing crimes because the reality is there are good people and there are bad people. There is no fine line. Good people don't go to jail, commit crimes, steal from others, etc. but bad people DO. Perhaps I should've said stop rewarding bad people. It is a joke that bad people get second and third and fourth chances whereas good people do it right on the first one. Have a good day.
