I enter this thread late, and am now, a month later, trying to separate science from raging egos. Plenty of both exist. In quoting material in this...
The thermodynamic arrow of time can be misleading. We view a system that changes to greater disorder as having moved forward in time. Had that...
The question is better than wild speculation. I have watched BenTheMan on and off for months, and admire his logic. Howsomever, his position in...
You found one of my worries. Gravity is supposed to stretch the membrane. The massive bowling ball on a sheet makes a dip which the marbles roll...
Humor is one possible marker of intelligence. The subject is difficult to think about if you have not already spent some time there. Neurons take...
I thought of making this a separate thread, but it appears to be at home here. Even though it's been since June that people have posted here, if...

I dunno about NASA, but we have said it's the flag. We're not the ones with the visual comprehension problem, btimsah.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. One difference between a crank and a scientist who deals with a hypothesis or theory is that the...
It is. One example is that viruses will inject their own DNA into yours, after which you carry the code necessary to release new copies of the...
The date is 79 A.D. Lets take a poll to see if the media is hyping Mt. Vesuvius.
First of all, a bomb adds to the heat and pressure instead of relieving it. Second, that bomb would be as effective as a stray snowflake in your...
There's such a lot of geothermal energy available in Yellowstone. Drill the two holes. When one cools too much, use the other to give the first one...
Since evolution is a response to environmental pressures, we can predict what that response might be depending on how well we understand what the...
You've been opening your mouth quite a bit. Sure it is. The flagpole goes down to where it's about horozontally even with the top of the object on...
How do you know they were edited, and how you know that unedited versions were not released, and how do you know this was the motive for editing even...
