Worked in banks for 6 years as a client advisor for small & medium enterprises and agricultural households. Was earning up to 900 EUR per month, which was about 2.5 times country average or about 4 times average in the part of the country where I live.
Working hours increased gradually to 12+ hours a day, payment decreased gradually to about 700 EUR and finally lost the job at the beginning of 2010 as a consequence of global economic crisis.
Took some time to regroup, did some advising work for "old" clients in the meantime. Selling books now, as an every day work, but still doing advising work occasionally.
Scientists already agreed that Einstein's theory wasn't complete, as it was not able to explain black holes. They say "it stops at event horizon". Also, it doesn't apply to very small particles on quantum level, so still a lot to be "broken" and discovered... so, breaking the Universal Speed Limit won't be such a surprise (to me) as there are many, many, many things that we still don't know about.
What is also interesting (to stretch this subject even more) is that there are two theories about the end of the Universe, Big Crunch and Big Freeze... but none of them mentions anything about black holes and their role in it. We know that if Universe continues to spread it will stretch apart (don't know the exact english word for it) all the matter to it's tiniest bits, as this stretching is stronger than gravity (as much as we know today). But what about black holes? Their force of gravity is much, much, much larger than anything we know and understand today. Will they play a part in confronting the forces of stretching? Is their immense force of gravity strong enough to change those two scenarios?
On topic:
Scientists recently discovered a new, possibly habitable planet 36 light years away that is on just the right distance from its star to be able to hold liquid water. It is 3.6 times the mass of the Earth but only 1.4 times its gravity, which means it can hold the atmosphere too. Its solar system is a billion years older than ours, so it is very possible that this planet held life long before Earth did... meaning a billion years more for intelligent species to evolve.
Existence of life is not proven yet, but chances for that are big.
Jose Escamillia claims that there are aliens on the Moon already.
In his trilogy (1. UFO - The greatest story ever denied, 2. Moon rising and 3. Moon views) he elaborates his opinion bringing evidence in a form of photos from official Hubble telescope site and many relevant people who worked for NASA and US Gov agencies testifying in favor of his claims.
Now, it would be very nice if someone from USA could really say if these people testifying are genuine and not some BS actors. But it's hard to believe that he would hire and pay actors for this, as his movies aren't exactly blockbusters.
Well... if you meant no disrespect to any of the discussion participants here, then I apologize. I thought you were mocking us.
@traveling through space - scientist believe it is possible to bend the space-time "continuum" (or whatever it is called) and actually make shortcuts through it, they think it is mathematically possible. Some believe that black holes could be a kind of those shortcuts, but I don't think so. They say you would be "spaghetti-zed" once you fall into the black hole, but no one speaks about possible very high temperatures that might be close to it or inside it, as matter is squeezed to for us unimaginable rates and we know that when ever there is pressure, there are high temperatures too. So I believe more that we would be melted long before reaching the "event horizon" point.
@TVE - you're not retarded comparing to all of us, but we are all probably at a very low scale of understanding the universe . It does hurt when you try to imagine those facts, as Crashgate3 said . I even get scared sometimes when trying to understand . It's very hard for our brains to understand, for example, that time and space didn't exist 'before' the universe and don't exist 'outside' it
@aliens - look for Jose Escamilla's trilogy. He is very radical on this subject, but does bring some interesting facts. I wasn't able to check if those witnesses were actually working for those US gov agencies or they were just actors and didn't check if the Hubble's Moon photos were genuine, but still ... quite interesting presentations.
...which means there are solar systems in the universe as much as there are grains of sand on every beach on Earth, put together (quoting scientists). To say that "there are no such things as aliens" is just infinitely egocentric.
What amazes me the most is the fact that the whole universe was just a spec before it explode/inflate... WTH was before that and for how long??! And where the hell is our universe situated??
@black holes - opinion: brings back all matter to the state it was at the beginning, known as "singularity".
Also, find the combo you like and practice it offline for a while. Find the set from links given above or just ask someone to share (people usually do share), watch WR hotlaps. That is the best way to learn the car and discover it's limits. That gives you extra confidence later when you join a multi player server.
How are you hotlinking? Clearly you are just doing something wrong.
