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...

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...

One of the terrible things about looking for proof in the sky is that we are locked behind a glass window. A lot of the theories we come up with are incredibly hard to test/verify or even prove that our tests did discovered what we claimed.

Infinity is terrifying, but at least we know no human will have to suffer that experience. The steady state theory definitely has problems, but I do vastly prefer the theory in its neutral stance on existence. Most of the "proof" for the big bang theory was already theorized to exist...

I've stated before how much I think the big bang is a huge pile of bullshit. As we observe more and more, it appears to be less and less reliable. Galaxies and super massive black holes have to form stupidly fast in ways that basically poop all over physics. The webb telescope should hopefully...

Maybe he thinks more bathrooms need the personal touch that a good trough brings.

Maybe not all the objects attracted to your ass.

all i know is disney better get those money trucks ready. Fuckers are gonna need a hookers and blow week at disney to even have a chance to spend it all.

Mass is constant. It does not change or alter arbitrarily ever. When velocity changes, it leaves the atom typical. This can be shown in the transfer of momentum, its one of the basic Newtonian laws of physics. Are you arguing that theres a momentum swarm of particles that switch between...

This sort of logic is extremely old. It actually originates with the greeks, but the first good records of it are Galilean. Anyone who wants to read about it should look up Galilean relativity. Essentially, scientists did tons of reference frame thought experiments. Like if a boat is moving, how...

haha, beautiful

laws of nature have the mother explination 'because they happen' Take gravity. Its an indisputable consistantly demonstratable fact that it works and mathematically how it works. But the reason for why is one of the oldest baffling questions in science. WHY are two objects attracted to each...

cage has some movies where he's awesome. They're the really dorky movies, but they exist.

Yes. It was a taxi, the people in the taxi lived.

Why can't those asians keep planes in the air.

Most binary stars in actuality are extremely far apart with orbits in the thousands if not tens of thousands of years. If you were on a planet orbiting one of the stars, the second star would appear to be little more than a particularly bright star that was stationary in the sky.

Correct. Quantum mechanics willfully ignores this problem with its existence, and unfortunately the entire argument against it is summed up with what you said 'it makes them uncomfortable.' I believe it's more specifically called the unknown local variable loophole- the appearance of...

I expected to want to bang the raccoon man. left completely satisfied.

Its proven! Even though the scientists who made these experiments say its not proven, which thus means it must be proven. (burnem logic)

what even is this avengers shit people talk about.

Not trying hard enough. You most certainly CAN lose most of those games too.

What a hillarious shit show this post season has been. Quite easily the worst product the NFL has put out in a long time, and its not even over yet. About the only thing that could make it any better is a horribly blown call in the superbowl itself.

well the picture someone linked about the refs playing the seahawks. Seems its still true.

Maybe it was one of those warning flags cowboys games are famous for.

seattle's weakness on defense is running up the middle and cowboys are good at running up the middle. I really like the matchup in the cowboys favor. The cowboys first win wasn't a mistake.

Cowboys have a seat on their victory bus brother.

wtf is happening

Panthers are way hotter than hawks. Go panthers. (but really, rip panthers)

the romo flacco dream bowl is dead
