I think that explains life, the universe and everything.

I think we can now safely close the discussion.

There may be a very simple argument to prove me wrong. It would go like this: Two dots appear as two distinct dots from a distance smaller than or equ...

If you want to prove me wrong, and I am not saying I cannot be, you should concentrate on this alternative solution and exclude it from consideration,...

I wish I could agree with you because it makes a lot of sense. I am afraid that my interpretation is quite different. You are still trying to justify ...

the discussion with both of you on this thread has come to an end. Why prolong it unnecessarily? We all know where each of us stands.

if you need to ask you don't need to answer.

I am curious what you will make out of this

put your money where you mouth is, kiddo.

I am really disappointed in your analytic insight. The discussion is not about the speed of light, nor about astronomy. It is about the historical val...

That is where our interpretations diverge. I say that his idea was not the only possibility, and he never gave any reason why it should be. I will not...

I was half expecting do be do be do, but this is much better! :)

Too bad you have changed your style in favor of polemics. So be it. Not, it is not a matter of how precise measurements are. In fact, it does not conc...

I am saying that Rømer did not have an argument.

You still do not understand my point. If I am right, you are, in such a situation, not measuring the speed of light, but the moment the moon appears o...

You apparently have trouble grasping my objection. There is no reason for me to reject these observations, I am not an astronomer. What we are talking...

I would like to sum up the different empirical issues that I have tried to handle concerning light theory. I have always found it regrettable that my ...

Unhearable sound and gravitational waves

you should take requests and charge people for it. :)

@"MikeL" Sorry for this side show. I will refrain from further off-topic comments.

I like the drawing.

A young woman has been bedridden all week, nursing a mean cold. Sunday she feels somewhat better, even if her throat still aches, and she can barely s...

In the Moroccan dialect "insured" and "from Syria" sound exactly the same. A cop stops a biker and asks: is this motorcycle "insured"? No, says the bi...

Amen.

and I appreciate it. Thank you.

nope. I am done with your ( you and the Friends) evasive maneuvers. Let us talk empirical facts instead of theoretical generalities.

In this case I was right to discard my first argumentation, and concentrate on the perception of the (dis)appearance of the moon. On this point, I am ...

Again you do not understand my question. I do not care whether it is 7 or 70 minutes. Maybe you should think about Einstein's thought experiment invol...

That is why there are cowards that only choose what seems to make them sound right, and refuse to look at alternatives. That is why Einstein said to h...

Okay. I am not really worried about the accuracy, but about the principle. If I understand you right, it is possible and legitimate to compare times a...

I feel I need to justify my vote. My choice has nothing to do with the order as it was presented in the previous Poll. I have carefully weighted each ...

If you want to play innocent be my guest.

I am not complaining. I am judging you, and it is as ugly as your judgment of me.

Did you maybe wonder whether the universe is changing at all? I am not saying it is not. I have no way of knowing that. It is just that the whole argu...

you should have participated in the discussions concerning this subject. Here you are supposed to be funny, not a smart-ass.

The first version of my objection was completely different. I started doubting its validity and after some time settled for a different approach. I wa...

the finger edit: should be probably melted, instead of disintegrated.

and saw that it was good.

guy sees a bucket of clear liquid. He puts his finger in it which immediately disintegrates. Curious as to why, he puts his head in the bucket, eyes o...

I would like to clarify a possible misunderstanding. I do not deny the existence of rationality. I am just placing it in a continuum of emotions, many...

I would like to put forward a claim I have defended in other contexts: "Rationality is a form of emotionality" I mean by that that through experience ...

I think he means the Goddess? The one who shared a body with her brother? She was hot!

it is always sad to feel left out.

Yeah, love them both too. You think we could open a thread about the question whether vampires can exist?

Right! That's the guy!

You remind me of the "rogue demon hunter" in Angel, or was it Buffy? You know, the English guy.
