    The problem I have with Joe... He's a really intelligent guy. Really smart. But he stops looking for the answers when he thinks he already has them, and then goes out to try to find information that confirms what hewantsto believe. If he's confronted with sufficient evidence, directly...

    That is awesome. I'm at the point where I can kinda understand what's going on, but don't understand a lot of the details. Yay school! And it's really cool to see exactly where he made his "biggest mistake," in introducing the static constant.

    Oh look, we're doing more experiments with quantum teleportation! Now we can send two-state systems. Too bad none of this is proven experimentally though, or else this experiment would be pretty exciting. Nope. No experiments here. Nosiree! Two quantum properties teleported together for first...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I do particularly like the brane theory description of gravity. That it's diffused between multidimensional layers and so we only feel small effects. If that were the case, it would be possible for gravity to be unlimited by c. And I forgot what else I was going to say because the dog is...

    AFAIK gravity is constrained toc. However, gravity is also a constant force, and only its magnitude changes with distance (inverse square law... again, AFAIK, you're feeling the effects of the gravity of the black hole in the center of the Milky Way right now, but that effect approaches a Planck...

    At some point you have to rely on the authority ofpeople who know what they're talking about better than you do.People who have worked in the field for 20+ years. People who have done a hell of a lot more booklearnin' and experimentin' than either me or furfuck.

    You also have the burden of proof, furry. And what you "laid out" falls far from meeting that. You're railing against a phenomenon that has been experimentally demonstrated, despite your insistence that it has not. We can do nothing for your delusion.
