The universe is too great a mystery for there to be only one single approach to it. - Symmachus

At which specified size did it become a "too great a mystery"? And measured in which units?

Well, it started as a point, and it was pretty mysterious for the first 10-36 seconds. After that, it got a bit more orderly, before the chaos started and entropy began messing it all up again...

Nice theory; you and the Missis had a fight, a big explosion, and the universe came to be.

That is Ryans view apparently.

At whatever size was sufficient for your question to be asked.

In whatever units you were using at that time to measure the universe.

When the Universe's size was sufficient to include enough six-year-olds to wear out any conceivable number of adults with their questions.
Eddy Vluggen wrote: And measured in which units?
The natural unit of mystery is the "why". Didn't you learn that as a six-year-old?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

So, to paraphrase Symmachus, "The universe is too much for ME to understand, therefore there can't be a single approach to it."

The only mysteries in the universe are those we can't yet explain.

assuming the known explanations are correct.

You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

I know that since the days of 8 bit computers. Never get an interpreter to do a compiler's job. This kept me from being contaminated with BASIC and later it saved me from PHP or JavaScript.
I need a perfect, to the point answer as I am not aware of this.

Javascript's been JIT compiled like C#/Java for a while now.
You need a new excuse to avoid it.

The poor man's version, at best. It still is slow as hell and only notices that it's dead when it hits the line with the error, like all interpreters.
What do I need excuses for? Anyone who uses such a contraption for any serious work has greater problems than me not liking it.

Hi,
Don't know why, but when I posted some replies to some posts in the lounge, the messages went straight for spam review. It did not happen before.
I understand the need for spam reviews but didn't think I would be the "marked man"
Can someone tell me what it this about?
Thanks
I am not the one who knocks. I never knock.
In fact, I hate knocking. Just barge in will'Ya?

We get a lot of spam coming in on the site, so we have a spam filter that catches anything it's "learned" might be spam. Fortunately the community is pretty quick to approve or disapprove of these things so you won't be in the filter long. You're not a marked man
Thanks,

I am having the same "issue" and believe it stems from a disgruntled reader marking one of my responses as spam (it was reversed, btw) and since then everything I post or reply goes to the spam review queue.
