Thats correct, do a search for Nosso Lar.

Saw the entire movie last night.  I give it a 6.5/10.  Acting was fairly good, but couldve done without the sentimental moments and shouldve shown more of what the astral planes look like

You can rent it at Amazon for 3 days for $3.99

I highly recommend people watch this movie.  Its supposed to portray the Astral world in fine detail.

Its available on amazon.com to buy.  Or you can download it for free on torrents.  I dont think I'm allowed to post torrent links, so you'll have to do a search yourself

Hi,
Of course its groundbreaking, look at my first post re the laser.

Okay, just checking 

Only if the object is stationary.

If the object is moving... it'll be nothing but a huge blob.

The technology is amazing, granted... and I'm sure a lot of real world applications will come of it, but right now it seems kinda limited.

I hear ya.

I'm sure some other new technology will come around thats able to snap pics of moving objects though

Hi,
Its the nearest objective display on this subjective premise. It works to demonstrate flow but cant work to show effects that happen in the nano second interval let alone femto.
Thats a completely different technology and not a capability at present.
The same principle is used in electronics with precision rectifiers and has been used since the 80's by myself. It originated earlier but now adapted to photography.
It a good call.

So you disagree or you agree that this is groundbreaking??

I'll explain my confusion.  I'm not saying anything which diminishes the results.  The results look absolutely stunning and seems to be the basis for many new technologies which will stem from it.

However, while the end result is very much the same as a tv show or movie, that's because of the way all the separate frames are edited together.  It's HOW and WHEN those separate frames are taken which is the big difference.

The way you shoot a tv show/movie is that you do it mostly in as few "takes" as possible.  You don't have the actors do each scene billions of times and take a picture at a slightly different time during each "take".  But, that's exactly what's occuring with FemtoPhotography.

I was wondering if they had actually taken the shot in one single "take", sort to speak.  Because THAT would be amazing, as it would break a lot of laws of physics... namely, you'd be taking the images faster than the speed of light.  This is what was misleading... or at least, I don't believe the host made very clear.  Myself and many others (from the looks of the youtube comments) were also confused by what was actually being shown here.

It doesn't, in any way diminish the results.  The results are spectacular, to say the least.  But, it doesn't *technically* show "light in motion".

But the point of the whole thing was they can now peek around corners and reconstruct whatever object is on the other side out of view

That's what all video is. (The moving pictures on your TV aren't real  )

Yup, I was just gonna say the same thing.  A movie is nothing more then "moving pictures".
In fact, thats what they used to call movies back in the 20's when they first came out, they were called "moving pictures" 

Couldnt they theoretically bounce lights off our nearest Star (Proxima Centauri) which is 4.243 light years away, and then in theory we could map that Star and all its planets in about 8.5 years from now??

Or is that crazy Fresco talk??

Try kindergarten, and you're probably closer to the truth. 

So true

It's all about perception, what we see in the media, what we get fed in the media.  In fact I was born in El salvador and I can honestly say i had a happy childhood growing up during the civil war, we had no refrigerator, no fancy toys, but we were happy.  Perception.  All experiences have good things and bad things depending on the observer and environment, in the end just an experience.

Exactly, and I know lots of rich kids who grew up unhappy.  Its all relative. And you are right, the media greatly distorts things.  Africa is not nearly  as poor or underfed as they portray it to be

What I don't understand, is what all those starving dying third world kids get out of their short lives? It really is hard to fathom

Ive been to 70+ countries around the world, and I can honestly tell you the "starving 3rd world child" scenario is grossly exaggerated.  Yes there are many starving kids (and people) in the world, but the vast majority are eating OK.  I was in El Salvador during the 90's staying on a farm for 3 days near Suchitoto, and I noticed the farmers were all eating organic food grown on their own land. 

I thought to myself, heck these people are eating healthier then I am...LOL

Well here's something even crazier with free will.  Another theory is that whatever happens in our existence is one of many possibilities that could happen according to our thoughts and emotions and we choose thet one that becomes reality so in essence we do exercise free will by choosing what we are experiencing out of many possible outcomes

Thats to me sounds like a better theory

^^^^  I've heard that theory before, mcdwg.  But I have  hard time accepting that because it implies that your whole life was already preplanned, and that doesnt leave much room for "freedom of will". 

How can I have freedom of will when my life as a serial killer was preplanned??

We unfortunately had another shooting this week in a Colorado movie theatre.

I always wondered, after the Columbine shooting, what would happen to the 2 kids that did the shooting after they died from suicide (Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold). Would they wind up in a lower astral plane then the kids they killed??  Or would they all wind up on the same plane together??

And what would their karmic debt be?? Would they have to reincarnate?? 

Any opinions??

Right.

Or the 19th century, or the 18th century, or the 17th century...

Yup, most religious wars were fought in middle-ages, and even then there werent that many of them.  Most wars even back then were fought over land or natural resources (like water, food, gold, silver....etc).

The only religious wars of any notable size were the Muslim wars of conquest and expansion that persisted for hundreds of years until the European powers got organized and staged a counter-attack, the Crusades -- that's when the violent Muslim expansion was halted dead in its tracks.

(There is a big giant lie that is often repeated how Muslim territory growth was peaceful cultural expansion - but this is just so much huge non-historical nonsense it is laughable that it even got any traction.)

Agreed again.  Muslims conquered most of Spain, even setting up mosques everywhere.  France was starting to feel threatened and they decided the muslims had to be driven out. Thats what started the Crusades

Yeah, as pertaining to the thread title, it doesnt really matter what the Iraq wars were fought over.  My point was virtually no major 20th century wars were fought over religion

And just to get back on topic, would eliminating religion throughout the world reign in peace and stop wars??  The answer is 'no'.  And here's why:

Can you name one war in 20th century that was fought over religion??  I cant even think of one, to be honest.

WW1 was fought over real estate (Europe)
WW2 was also fought over real estate, but more globally
Korean war was fought over geopolitics
Vietnam war was fought to stop the spread of communism.  So it was over idealogy
Iraq wars 1 & 2 were fought over oil....oopss.....I mean weapons of mass destruction  
Afghan war was fought to stop terrorism

So ditching religion will have very little effect on warfare.  And even though I believe in God, I have very little sympathy for religion or going to church

That would only work if everyone had the same intentions

This I agree on, but thats a given since I already acknowledge the fact the entire earth would have to practice positive Law of Attraction

but everyone would be trying to attract different things and where one person comes out on top, another falls

Disagree with you there, in an ever expanding universe there are enough "things" to satisfy everyone, and all people should come out on top.  

Keep in mind that not everyone cares about being a billionaire, some do and some dont.  I personally would be happy with just 10 to 20 million $

This world is about balance, not everyone having what they want. You have the bad so you can have the good. You have to take both in life

No, the good and the bad would both simultanously be raised to a much higher standard of living

If everything in your life was perfect, you would create problems that didn't exist (like many people do)

Wrong, because when you practice positive LOA you simply cannot attract negative things in your life. Its impossible, because it breaks the fundamental rule of the "Law of Attraction".

The problem is the vast majority of the world today practices negative LOA by default.  Thats why the world is in the mess its in right now

Once again the topic of Religion causing disagreements. That is the simple reason I decide to stay clear of it. 

Religion and politics brings out the worst in people

That would only work if everyone had the same intentions, but everyone would be trying to attract different things and where one person comes out on top, another falls. This world is about balance, not everyone having what they want. You have the bad so you can have the good. You have to take both in life. If everything in your life was perfect, you would create problems that didn't exist (like many people do)

Sorry, but I completely disagree with all this

I don't usually say this often, but Zareste is correct.

There will never be world peace as long as religion exists.  There will never be world peace as long as people are "different" in some way.

It's not about bringing the world together.  It's about bringing yourself together.  You only have the power to change yourself... but through that, is the way to change the world.

If the entire world practiced positive Law of Attraction I think we could eventually have world peace

The VAST majority of war and violence has almost nothing to do with religion.

Mao Tse Tung was the world's biggest mass murderer (75 -100 million killed) and he was an ATHEIST.

Josef Stalin was at a distant second in the mass murder category at about 20 million killed ... and he was an ATHEIST.

Hitler barely makes a blip on the radar at 7 million murdered and he was an OCCULTIST (those who claim he was Christian are full of baloney).

Idi Amin (about 300,000 killed) and most African wars were tribal, ethnic oriented conflicts.

etc., etc.

Napoleon was  atheist also.  Or at the very least was not religious

My problem is I have lower back issues.  So meditation isnt exactly easy for me

I tried all different meditation positions, and I'm not comfortable in any of them
