I was the original op and no that wasn't the question, the question was about the sequences given. If I had said chances of 10 heads against 5 heads and 5 tails in any sequence then yes, 10 heads extrememly unlikely.

Wrong. At least some of the time. Depression has different ways of affecting people. I have honestly suffered depression and it was a relief when I went to the doctor about it. He gave a list of how it effects people, 10 or so different things that come about, some of them, on the face of...

Its a better computer than your mobile, worse than a laptop, it depends how you are going to use it, how likely you are to carry it around. Basically if you are going to stay in the office/home, get a desktop computer, if you want to carry something aroung, you are better with a laptop. To...

Each of those three sequences are specific sequences so all thre are 1/1024. The chances of getting 5 heads in a run of 10, there position within that sequences being unimportant, THAT is more likely than any of the sequences mentioned above, but once you state what the position is, then the...

I think Joe is slowly starting to get it. You are excepting that gravity, its effect, travels at light speed? The change from mass to no mass will mean a change in gravity, that effect will take time to reach us. At the sun then yes the gravity "stops" as soon as the Sun disappears, it takes...

Even though scientific observations seem to state gravity moves at light speed? Something predicted by General Relativity? Whos wins? Scientists and their experiments or Joe's brain?

The question is about gravity and the time it takes to effect other bodies should it instantly change. Also as stated real world observations show that gravity "travels" at the spped of light. Question for Joe, should the sun's gravitational effects DOUBLE, nothing else, how long would it...

Correct Joe, the warping goes, but like the rubber sheet metaphor the sheet does not flatten in an instant across the whole of the sheet. It takes time, the bigger the sheet, say the distance from the sun to the Earth, the time is about 8 1/2 minues.

Do not mention Hitler around Joe90, he likes the man.

Wow the one person I tought would bite hasn't. Perhaps everyone else being humourously contrairy have unwittingly used up his arguments before he got to them.

Genetics show all life is related. The greater the difference between you and any other organism the further back in time you have to go to find your shared ancestor.

Wow, has Joe completeley misunderstood the question which everyone else seems to understand? I have posted a link which shows where the speed of gravity has been measured. If the Sun were to go, how soon, gravitationally speaking, would we know about it? As the effect of gravity takes...

Within the hypothetical situation they are real.

I like that one. Will have to remember it if I ever get my sums wrong.

The next step is to tell me I have actually got my question wrong and state theat your answer is correct to the question I should have asked.

Sun disappears, so does its gravitational effect, how soon would it take effect on the Earth. Should I have specified that? The sun goes, so does its gravity, there is a wave as the changes in gravity take effect, this wave travels to us. As stated at the speed of light. Yes you take away...

I want to see if anyone (perhaps someone in particular) will disagree with this statement on principal and maintain that they are correct even though he/she is wrong. Wonder if that fits with any of the regulars on here.

The question is about the speed of gravity, it was framed as the Sun and Earth so people could imagine the situation. As stated previously scientists have had the opportuniy to look at changes in mass of objects in space and its effects and have come to the conclusion that gravities effects...

Statistically, all three are just as likely, just as likely as any specific result you would like to name.
