Are the posted questions getting worse?

  • Okay.... Sci/Fi people...

    Have you read anything about the concept of temporal momentum or inertia?

    (No, I have no idea where these thoughts come from.)

    I will try to dig up the Documentation of the undocumented parameters and try to figure out the correct order even if it takes a life time...

    You have to go to the future to see the documentation. This was thoroughly discussed earlier... unless.... wait..... are YOU from the future, Roy?

    😛

    Well, Not exactly... I am from Eris where there is a possibility to find Documentation for the undocumented stuffs. :hehe:

    In High Energy (Relativistic) Physics, the term "temporal momentum" replaces the misnomer "relativistic mass" and is defined as m dt/dt.

    In Temporal Mechanics, "temporal inertia" is the effect that minor interferences in time will have negligible effect. That is, if you change the past, the tendency is for other events to also change so the timeline sufficiently far "downstream" is virtually unaffected.

    (One of the above is non-fiction :-D)

  • I presume it was the first statement.

    What I know of chaos theory leads me to disbelieve the concept of "Temporal Inertia", although conversely it leads me to believe more strongly in Santa Clause.

    Unfortunately, as far as has been publicised, observations have only been made on a single timeline and no interventions have been tried yet to determine the strength of Temporal Inertia.

    It's similar to the observation that life exists in the universe. We have 1 data point.

    Of course, there's some debate as to whether intelligent life exists anywhere in the universe. 🙂

    Based on some of the posts you see in SSC, I'd have to agree.

    All together now, everybody sing ...... "So long and thanks for all the fish."

  • Okay, I can use stuff((select ', ' + cola from dbo.table1 t1 for xml path ('')), 1, 2, '') but I sure can't explain the how's and why's. Anyone care to answer those questions here?

    Thanks

    :w00t: Great, now I have to watch that thread so I can find out how it works too!

  • Going after the tweeterers for the answer?

    Now I'm curious too.

    Ask and ye shall receive. I think I covered it. Check and let me know if otherwise.

  • Hi Mike,

    I agree with you. I think new dba are not reading book at all. They are not googling it on internet. There are lots of site to find basic info. But you know what may be we can just reply google it for such question. oops
