Of Human History that a test to quince reality. How does it tie in with what you do as a physical theorists, fit theoretical physicist . It doesnt tiein at all to what i do as the theoretical physicists. As i human being, physicists are people. We live in Human Society and my mind, religion and science have been the two most powerful forces that have shaped human civilization so if you are ignorant of religion or you dismiss it, you are discounting a lot of Human History. Are the incompatible . I dont think they are incompatible. I have many scientific colleagues who are devout believers. There are fewer scientists who are devout believers than in the general public, but the fact that there are scientists who are devout believers shows that they are not incompatible. I think there are not incompatible and all if your belief in god is the kind of god who does not intervene in the physical universe. A god who sets things up and sits down on the sidelines. That is not incompatible at all

Boring a couple of times a month, and the output of co2 he is expending because of his jet travel is like 100 times that of the average person. And so when confronted about it, here was his answer. He said well, the train trip would take 12 hours and that would be time away from my f
Was always the ideal partner, was always the best response. So as presented at that particular time. If there are options out there that are better that we have a responsibility to explore them. Maybe one approach to have in the rfp to have flexibility to look at both to have as much information as we can. I dont know if you are open to that but that would be my thinking. Okay. Its really up to your direction. I know when we had the meeting with the advocates there were some that wanted that flexibility. Since it wasnt clear is why i brought it up. I just want to make sure how you want to approach that. I dont think i think its possibility to do it. It may draw a cost because we talk about what would be the option if there were no shell, but thats certainly doable.
