I really like that water molecule analogy. Personally, I have always viewed it as so feature of the topography of our universe in a higher dimension. Think about two two dimensional people living in a spherical plane. The furthest actual distance they could get from each other would be the diameter of the sphere. Yet they wouldn't even know of the spherical nature of their universe.

I'm not sure that they saw it as a "placeholder" at the time. It wasn't until Mickelson and Morley demonstrated that the fixed frame of reference demanded by aether wasn't there, paving the way for Relativity, that it was abandoned.
I don't see people treating Dark Matter an a placeholder right now either.
But, like I said, I'm not qualified to comment.
I'm totally unqualified to comment on this, but something has always itched in my brain about dark matter. It smacks, to me, to be the aether of the 21st century.
I'm not sure what you're getting at.
All I'm saying is that, for Christians, the text of the Bible has been mostly locked down since the Vulgate Bible at around 400 AD. The content is what it is, and is the basis of the faith.
At this point it doesn't matter if someone mistranslated the Hebrew, misquoted Jesus, made Jesus up entirely, or forged an epistle. It's been in there for 1600 years and it's authenticity or accuracy is moot.
Arguing about the origin of 1 Timothy is like arguing about the colour of the wings on the fairies that live at the bottom of the garden. It's all made up rubbish anyways.
I'm not sure about the value of questioning the authenticity of something that has been canon for almost 2000 years. It's like quibbling about how the Latin translation of the Old Testament doesn't match Hebrew sources.
Who cares which misogynistic jerk wrote that passage? It's been part of the bedrock of the faith of countless generations of misogynists since then.
Not in England. 240V boils water faster than you can get the teabags out of the cupboard.
Deal with the ethernet port issue by purchasing a 5 port ethernet switch. Maybe the rest of your issues go away?
Yes. This is perhaps the most profound insight into canine communication that I've ever seen.
Death Valley appears to be a very contained thing. When I was there, the temperature in Las Vegas was 108. When we started down into the valley the temperature started to rise dramatically. Half way down, it hit 117 and I had to stop to get out to see what it felt like.
But then the temperature kept going up as we went down into the valley. We hit 126 for a while approaching Badwater, and it was 124 when we got out at Badwater.
And this was in May, around 15 years ago.
The point is that when you go there, you see that Death Valley is a meteorological phenomenon created by, and contained by the geography of Death Valley.
Yes, 108 is hot, but there was an almost 10 degree increase as soon as you crossed the ridge into the valley and started down. The idea that Death Valley climate will somehow spread to the surrounding area just doesn't make sense.
I was actually referring to this
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
Technically, he would have three drives and only two drives of data. So he could move 1/3 of the data off each of the two drives onto the third and then start off with RAID 5 across the remaining 1/3 of each drive.
