I hope there are no lasting ill effects to be gleaned from excessive minus points? Such as being muted or banned for instance? I hope this is not the case for if it is so, I shall immediately cut down on my creative output and confine myself to a propounding on existing ideas alone. Right now I'm balancing a 3 dimensional tightrope of creativity, learning and discussion. However if my tenure on site is at stake I shall proceed to leap off said tightrope like a leapin lizard, cut down on creativity and learning and merely focus on discussion.

The video in the attachment is the one I sent CERN. (Untitled.mp4) Short, brusque, to the point. Just like www.scienceforums.net thought me to do it. I know they will plaigarise my idea. I have no desire to hold on to a globally changing Idea. After all, I am nobody. I am also making a magazine. It's called Global Warming. The solution pertains to a heavily researched version of my CO2 salt theory. (Cover page below, designed via photoshop, incorporating stock footage and my own face-person on bottom right is yours truly. Untitled.mp4

Thirteen posts my friends would have called me a genius for. -17 points for my trouble. In my egoistical view of the world, I contend I pretty much solved all the worlds troubles. In one day. But the rules of the site beg to differ. OK, my rational self now begs that I take that as a stepping stone to greater things by adapting my views to that which must have surely been set in place for the betterment of science. Which means two important things: 1.Unless absolutely scientifically supported, theories are 'speculation' 2. The said theories even if supported by maintream science, must be as accurate as a computer program on many levels to…

I was browing google for good discussion forums dedicated to the cause of scientific thoughts and this forum showed up and here I am. It's a brilliant place for a person seeking to combine research and scientific debate and discussion with the pursuit of like minds. I am very happy I chose this forum to alight upon my scientific travails. I particularly like the extensive profile features almost akin to the complexities that facebook and youtube lavish upon themselves. Haha. Very nice! Any questions?

Hello guys, I know this is a science forum but it's also where many smart people gather. I was just curious whats your idea about investing if you had lets say a small amount of 1000$. For example I heard that most Cocoa producers are switching to other fruits as it is really not profitable so chocolate prices will surely increase. One option would be to invest in a long shelf life cocoa product.

The luthéal is a less common instrument... A historical one is in Brussel's Musée des Instruments de Musique, one built more recently is in Paris' Musée Instrumental, one was built for Daniel Hope, and apparently that's all. George Cloeten patented it in 1919 as extra hardware on a piano to change the timbre at will, plus controls available to te pianist. wikipedia And there are records of this instrument, even recently : mim.be GuiPX6BVSkg on Youtube at 9:39 (the piece starts at 05:33) Two (2) known pieces were written for the luthéal, both by Maurice Ravel, but are commonly played on a normal piano: L'enfant et les sortilèges, and Tzigane. I had alw…

Golf is one of the most technical games in the world. I agree golf requires a lot of investment initially, it does become enjoyable once you get the hang of it. It is a game of making the right strategy and using your best possible options to achieve your score. It provides a variety of hurdles which you must overcome quite similar to our lives. I gained a lot from golf, you would too if you start liking it.AND What is good about golf? ________________________________________________________________________________ Source: commercial link removed by moderator

Anyone been following this series? What can happen in the next and last episode? If you haven't been watching, spoiler alert. Spoiler Interesting to note that the Dragon Queen went hog wild burning up the city on her dragon. There are many that hate her for that, including Arya. The huge knight who was body guard for Cersei had a fight to the finish with the Hound and turns out he was a red-eyed zombie! The Hound stabbed him through the skull and the knight just pulls the knife out and keeps fighting. Then they both fall into the fire. Maybe the Knight is still alive? We can't be sure that Cersei and Jamie Lannni…

Hi all. I have the vinyl long play since forever, and on music CD, but now on doubts if a DVD exists of that show... Anyone has it / knows ?

I've taken a little break from writing my paper on the proof of the Collatz conjecture to work on some new music. From now on, I'm going to post all of my music to this thread. So, I will be making posts throughout the week of all of my music here. This online concert begins with my latest composition that I wrote for someone who I completely adore and is one of my best songs yet. Enjoy!!!

Polling in yet another election closed a few minutes ago. In fact it was so cold I saw a politician with his hands in his own pockets. .......?

Hey all, it's been a while since I was on here. Thinking I'll start posting again. ~ee

I have always loved the old 40's/50's musicals and one of the greatest proponents of these musicals was of course the now late Doris Day...Rip Doris!

Even achievement is illusion, someone born with high intelligence and didn't do anything, just got better coinflipp, even you know you did nothing, how you can feel contentment, if you have success with something. If everything you do is pointless, humanity will extinct sooner or later. People actually search for meaning, because it is important for their survival to live meaningful lives. I read study, that scientist have greater sense of meaning and there are studies about meaning increasing happiness, which is evolutionary mechanism for survival. Maybe you help save some lives, but than you can die painfully yourself, which is dissuading from helping others, because it…

Can anyone comment on the provenance of this 'journal' ? It promotes this rubbish for instance (Aug 2018) https://www.scitechnol.com/peer-review/gravity-is-a-myth-CHpy.php?article_id=8027

Is science everything or is there more to life than science? There was a debate about this and the contender won 18 points in arguing that science is not everything in life. https://www.debate.org/debates/science-is-everything/1/ So I ask scienceforums, is science everything or are there aspects to life which aren't science?

What’s the Best Type of Reusable Water Bottle?

Theranos started was started in 2003, by a 19 yr old Standford freshman named Elizabeth Holmes. Apparently, using research from her college professor, she claimed to have an idea or theory of revolutionizing blood tests. Now in 2016, she's a billionaire, with a company that has virtually no results and no product. My question is, how did this company ever get off the ground, by a 19 yr old college freshman, that had no answers, no solution and no product? I know right now, the company is going through some major scrutiny, and maybe fraud. ~ee

Does anyone have any experience of Pedia Press ? I was looking at something this morning on Wikipedia and I was offered the opportunity to order hard copy (or perhaps pdf), which I thought was very interesting. Unfortunately their system locked up on me half way through so I never got full details. In particular I never found out if they would post to the UK. I can provide the general link if required, but don't want this to be considered advertising.

I've come to the conclusion that love, the love we idolize in our thoughts where a man and a woman love each other, wanting no other but each other, intimately is a beautiful thing...but it is unachievable, unattainable and unreachable. I realized this as I researched to learn what we are biologically.

I don't want to infest the thread re the first BH image with this disgusting reactions to a young lady Instrumental in a great experiment and its success.......I nearly vomited after reading this material.

With all the crazy nonsense in the world today, I am glad to see that Ecuador have finally got sick of the obnoxious troll they had hidden in a broom cupboard, and thrown him out. Of course his pathetic squab of a lawyer was on the radio today blathering on about "house arrest" and other drivel. Hopefully, with a defence lawyer of such intellectual vapidity Assange will soon be behind bars properly, instead of hiding himself away. At least he will have to look after his personal hygiene in prison.
