Well this is the point where I'm not understanding your posts. I'm no expert on physics, but I know there are sound waves and there are light waves. S...
Am I taking you too literally again? Why can't I get a straight answer to a simple question? People used to say, "Water waves travel through water, so...
As you've asked me not to reply to you anymore, I will do what I like here subject only to moderator preferences. And since you asked, I'll note that ...
The motive is in his own words, in a document authored and signed by many people who were in official posts in the government on 9/11. https://en.wiki...
I agree with you 100%. The official investigation was extremely shoddy. That crime deserves a serious investigation. I don't know what's true. I wasn'...
By what epistemological principle should I accept the findings of the government's 9/11 commission? What filter or principle of reasoning should I app...
I think Cheney not only ordered it. I think he personally flew the planes. That's my Lone Hijacker theory. Now you can call me a nut if you like. By t...
You say that here. But anyone who questions anything is generally labelled a crackpot. If you say "I want a better investigation" you get labeled as s...
I'll take the bait. Question. If I say the following: "The 9/11 commission spent $15M. They spent $40M on Bill Clinton's blowjob. There are many incon...
I have no idea. Maybe you can explain this to me. How am I supposed to know what are "presentation details" that "may or may not" be important? I resp...
Agreed. Narrow. But not IMO unfair. You still haven't responded to my specific concerns regarding the violations of known physical law in your thought...
In case anyone cares, I read the rest of the abstract and wanted to put the OP's linked paper into context. First, I was correct that they are not tra...
Very interesting site. Beautiful photos. I'm just starting to read their abstract. It does look very interesting. I do have one quibble. They write: T...
Yes I know. If you even ask questions about certain things, you get accused of agreeing with every crackpot theory on Youtube. I wonder if those kinds...
I assume it's femto as in femtosecond, one quadrillionth second. In the US that's 10^(-15) seconds and in Great Britain it's 10^(-24) so your mileage ...
You are factually incorrect. Many people are confused about the same point. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2015/07/30/why_do_bill_and_hill...
That doesn't make sense, even as a joke. The Clinton allegations are over 20 years old and go back to his time as governor of Arkansas. Why did the li...
I fail to understand that. The left is of course eager to attack Trump. The question is why the left gives Bill Clinton a pass. A famous illustration ...
I simply asked a question. Bill Cosby was called to account. Harvey Weinstein was called to account. But Bill Clinton gets a pass from liberals. I ask...
You never heard of any other credible rape allegations against Bill Clinton? They've got their own Wiki page. Before one of the 2016 presidential deba...
Have machines keep the dying company. That's a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Is that how you would like to go? They hook you up to a morphin...
I saw a simultaneously funny and chilling cartoon about that the other day. Two lab workers are talking about how their robot will be perfect once the...
Never mind that torture thing! We're really good people! And those wars? Nothing to do with us. That's the volunteer army. We barely even heard of the...
We became a torture regime. We've been at war in half a dozen MIddle East and North Africa countries since 2001. We spy on all our citizens. I hope th...
Boomer here. Of the generation getting blamed for it. I can tell you exactly when I saw it go wrong. The Vietnam war. I was a college student. College...
No there isn't. The standard is consenting adults. If myself and one or more likeminded adults content to get together and engage in mutually agreeabl...
I can live with that. You made an interesting point earlier. In Newton's world we can take space to be Euclidean 3-space. As I understand your idea, y...
As long as you insist on confusing math with physics, people are compelled to push back. Contemporary physics does not allow for infinite divisibility...
Nonsense. But please, someone start a separate Zeno thread. For the original topic ... consider the set of all possible infinite bitstrings. One of th...
Yes. And there's no reason they can't all be heads. You think there's some law of nature that says that eventually there must be a head. But why is th...
You keep saying that but there's no reason it should be true. You might get all tails. Or all heads. Any particular sequence is just as likely as any ...
Why must it? Suppose I flip infinitely many times. Why can't every flip be heads? Do you understand that all heads is exactly as likely as any other p...
No, why? Here's an infinite sequence of events: 0,1, 0, 1, 0, 1, ... Does 2 ever occur? No. Can you frame a more precise question? The answer to that ...
How exactly can you give me information? Say you have some bitstring that you want to give me. You need to input energy into the system to send that b...
Damn. I'm sorry I missed this. I do not know what the OP wrote in the body of their post. But I'd be happy to talk about whether math is a lie. A very...
For those who are genuinely transgender, public understanding and acceptance is a godsend. But many people these days think transitioning will solve t...
There's a saying about that. Science progresses one funeral at a time. Someone else made the same point. That no scientist is ever convinced by the ne...
Gun ownership is up, murders are way way down. But this week you can't even put facts in front of people because the media has everyone so hysterical....
If you're a relative of a victim of a drunk driver, your point would be lost. I asked you to explain to me why the 59 have such a powerful hold on you...
Oh now you care about accidents. An hour ago you couldn't be bothered. The 59 killed by drunks today are joined by another 41 who died in accidents no...
More guns, less gun violence. As long as people are tossing around charts. http://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/guns4.jpg http://www.aei.org/...
It's an illusion. Globally, 151,000 people die every day. That's a hard fact. It's objective. . Now people overlay their cultural biases on it. The ov...
It's a datapoint, not a whole argument. Just shows that the American tradition of gun ownership is part of the country's history, and often for the go...
As long as the show was objective and not biased :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) BC I hope you don't mind if I don't engage with the specifics of your post. G...
