I got this question suggestion last time haha
Me too
Let's talk about how the theory of relativity can impact out faith as members of the Church of Jesus Christ
Wow, that's a big one
do you ever find inconsistencies between what you believe as a disciple and what you believe from an intelectual standpoint?
Sure, I'm an engineering student and I think a lot about apparent discrepancies between accepted science and faith
yeah I agree a lot, but I just have to keep in mind that their is so much that I don't know, and there is a logical explanation for everything but it must be above my head hah
Yeah, my Bishop once told me how he believed any explanation requires a degree of faith--even a scientific one
A lot of the leaders of the church are super intelligent  scientifically. They have a lot of cool papers that you can read up on. Specifically people like Tanner he has a lot of really cool theories and Ideas
Tanner? Is it J. Eldon Tanner? I don't know his writing well Talmadge's writing is a lot like that, too
yeah talmage is a super well known one He's quoted a whole lot in my new testiment religion class my teacher really likes to quote him haha Do you have any knowledge of elastic or inelastic collisions?
Yes
we're learning about that at this very moment in physics pretty fun stuff haha
Scientists like inelastic collisions
this is true, but they're a lot more difficult you have to calculate energy lost and energy conserved
I guess I got it backward, then
yeah, they would prefer elastic, but end up working with inelastic
Inelastic collisions lose momentum, right?
no. momentum is always conserved no matter what they lose energy
I have a friend on I want to chat with. Thanks for the chat and goodbye for now!
