Just kidding.
those questionning the projection are not factoring in the flux in postings, which naturally occur with the acceleration as arbitrary whimsical targets are approached. For example, one of those humongous national lotteries starts to build a giant jackpot and all of a sudden a bizillion people go out and buy a lot of tickets. Another example is when a galactic body drifts close to a black hole. it's all physics.

As to the algorithm that was used in the calculation, please contact Google. They are very sharing.

Thus, the error range must be stated as a 97% confidence interval of +/- 6:23:045 minutes. The calculation is based on the rates ...[text shortened]... ces are, however, predictable and easily factored in.

hi, coquette. your calculation represents a very fine piece of work. when you have a spare second, would you
please determine precisely when this thread will reach its stated objective? Thread 158642 Thanks.

What do you want to bet it will take longer than a second to make that calculation. Not that I think she is stupid. But as a former athletic personnel member I like to keep the old stop watch handy in case I discover a gifted sprinter.

More than a figurative "second" but less than half an hour would be my bet; got any spare cash? lol

i just double checked the algorithm and it is confirmed.

there are as yet unrevealed cosmic ripples influencing the flux
