I constantly feel your pain, bro. He's at an impressionable age where wrongs taunt to him may take a long time to fix if you don't give him good information in a very memorable way. Take him to a planetarium, especially one with a telescope or contact a local university to see if they have...

My opinions on blade runner itself aside, what is the purpose of this or including harrison ford. Harrison ford used to be great in movies, but he's so far gone into the I don't give a fuck realm I actually consider him a liability when I look at a cast now. Unless he plays a senile old man, I...

Was worth it just for the high def cut scenes as a homeworld fan. They did a really really top notch job restoring those and the voices. As for the quality of game play- there are some definite bugs. Sometimes ships undocking will get stuck if they interact during the animation. Fuel...

patriots just cheated their way to another championship. This shit goes on at every level. If you aren't cheating, you aren't trying.

I'll wait for them to verify that something is even happening before trying to explain what it might be. I take science one step at a time. QE isn't verified, so theories based on it existing are nonsense. I linked a paper written by the guy who inadvertently created QE talking about its...

I'm not rejecting the evidence. I'm just extremely read on the subject and very aware of the fact that there is no evidence yet. If someone could prove me wrong, I'd be more than willing to accept it. Why should I believe in something that has no observational basis what so ever? What I don't...

Science occured in the correct order in this situation. We observed how gravity worked, and made a theory that matched it as close as we mathematically could. When our powers of observation got better, we found that this theory could not perfectly predict the movement of things, as first noticed...

Since you don't want to specify a paper, and likely wouldn't even understand it if you did, I will use the first example from your list that deals with quantum entanglement:http://journals.aps.org/prx/pdf/10.1...ysRevX.4.04103 This paper is a fun one, because the entire point of it is using...

My standard for science is data and peer review. I forgot your standard is something a guy claims proves something, never mind that whole science mumbo jumbo stuff. I mean, it does what you believe, so It must be fact. I forgot that you're the guy who couldn't even understand the conventional...

I am pushing no theories. My claim in this instance is that I do not believe in QE, because it is not scientifically proven. Yet again, I very specifically have said what I consider proof, and what I consider proof agrees exactly with the scientific standard of proof. Since talking with you is...

You're post makes it absolutely clear you have no idea what you're talking about. Your supposed 'proof' was something I talked about earlier objectively, and you already claimed it to be wrong. Read my response, it was a later article written by the same man on the same subject. He's more...

I feel like the hillbilly culinarian today. Just made saffron rice with pork butt and a balsamic must reduction. Shit was amazing. Basmati goes incredibly well with fatty pork, it has the same sort of light stringy melting texture. Towelheads have no idea what they missing out on.

1. Quantum entanglement is completely unproven.

Strategically placed hole. And I'll be happy if nobody can argue against me based on science. I just like to come in here and remind people from time to time that QE has less science behind it than fursuit making.

Have you pissed of any chinese lately?

I only make one factual statement in my post, one that I have repeatedly asked anyone on this forum to disprove, and nobody has managed to do it. It's a simple and direct fact that should be extremely easy to call me on. 1. Quantum entanglement is completely unproven. Can you prove my...

Depends on what his favorite animal is. As for your broken quotes. I agree completely that this is not valid science. Why the fuck do you think I have so much hatred for it?

Let me explain QE and the concept behind it in as layman's terms as I can surmise before answering your questions. there's a very long standing idea behind physics that the existence of light speed proves that something has to move faster, we just don't know what it is. QE actually arose as a...

The sad part is I'm not trolling. Do your research and come back. QE by design is an unprovable thought experiment. The fact that people accept it as real when it was designed to be fundamentally impossible to prove, and is currently unproven, is something I find comical.

I remembered the number 25 off the top of my head. I thought I remembered that cause it was 25m/s2, but its roughly 25 times the gravity. Since the exact amount was inconsequential to my argument I didn't bother refreshing my memory with google, despite the fact the number felt low on first...

You are correct.

Even I'm not so blatant about my neg farming. Whedon has some shitter movies, but he also has some brilliant shit too. Nobody's perfect.

Its too fucking long. I don't want to feel like im dying in an avalanche of letters when I read a post.

I'm the one arguing it may have more ways where it's not constant. To address what you said, space isn't made of water. On top of that, if you want to get super technical, which you're trying to do, light still travels at C even when its apparent speed is slower, at least according to...

kass is stupid and annoying, but that nerf is HUGE. It'll be a step in the right direction if they give him some love to go with it. He'll definitely need it after that kick in the balls.

I always knew you were a criminal.

Hunting should be illegal unless you own the animal or intend to eat it in a conversationally sound way, or its necessary for population management. Was the animal owned? Does such ownership come with a responsibility to maintain a proper population? Then it should be legal to gun down...

The left handed chirality of life is similar to the question of why matter won over anti matter. In theory, there should be equal amounts of both, and anti-matter worlds could exist in just as coherent a form as matter worlds.... but this isn't true. The most likely cause of this discrepency...

Correct. The whole planet is extremely cold. That said, we've learned enough about life to figure out it doesn't need heat light or much water to exist, these things just make it much easier.

The chances of life on Europa are quite low. If there is life, it will be -extremely- simplistic. The radiation of gas giants is too high to allow complex creatures to evolve. Titan has a slightly higher chance, but I'd still consider it pretty low. If we're looking for life in the solar...

This isnt europa. Titan's lake is on the surface. Likely it would be a test bed for europa though. Either way, extremely cool.

Not even sure why I'm continuing down this path with you, since we aren't even talking about something I proposed. My one and only claim is that we don't know enough, and to list some situations where we don't know enough. You're first statement here is wrong, the second one is mostly correct...

I don't even know where to begin with this. First of all, gravitational pull most certainly DOES effect spectral lines, as has been determined with extremely specific emission lines on earth [pound-rebka]. The reason they are exactly the same here and on the sun is due to the fact that spectral...

I'm glad nature does what you want.

Did you even read what I said. What are you even arguing against? It sure as fuck aint me. I Have no hang ups what so ever with gravity effecting light/electromagnetism. As stated, it has been experimentally verified to the point where I believe it is undeniable. My only issue is with the...

animal dicks

Our models of electromagnetism are extraordinarily accurate... on earth, and there's one thing that doesn't change much on earth, nor can we manipulate it in laboratories: Gravity. That's my point, there's a lot more than earth to the universe. We know gravity effects light/electromagnetism...

This is the argument I most commonly hear, that we will replace our understand when we figure out the answer. The problem is, the answer to these questions is -extremely- hard to get, and it wont happen in the next hundred years most likely. Why do we assume our knowledge is fact in the mean...

Who's saying its full of dogma? The idea that there ISN'T dogma in science is ignorant. The guy in his speech gives one of the huge examples. The speed of light has been scientific dogma for a long time. There has always been small unexplained fluctuations which really shouldn't be happening...

I agree complete with him in the faults of scientific dogma. What I disagree with him on is his claims on what science could be. Its fine and dandy shitting on the way science is done in the modern day, because there is a lot of whichcraft to it. But presenting ideas like people can sense stare...
