The eggs which our chickens lay have shells of a colour which corresponds to their feather colouring. My wife argues that this is totally natural, but considering that she has almost zero knowledge of biology, and we do not have a statistically significant number of chickens (two, to be precise) I was wondering whether there is a known connection.

In isolation, I would dismiss this as coincidence. But one oddity is that our resident lizards gallotia galloti are striking in that the males have large blue spots on the sides of their bodies (which are brighter in ultraviolet) and behold - their eggs have a couple of blue spots as well. Another coincidence?

 

Can anybody recommend an actual science forum without biased ignorant self-righteous moderators, whining about the supposed "tone" of certain posters, where we can continue the discussion?

Yes, I can, but it is full of amateurs not skilled in statistical analysis and genetics, so you would not like it.

Which translation into English are you reading?

8 is a perfect number

That is the only meaningful statement I can detect in your blurb, and it is incorrect, at least in the environment of a science forum. Which is where this is, in case you hadn't noticed.

 

 

Stigler's law of eponymy ... states that no scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer."

I don't think Halley's comet is a good example. (not wanting to go off-topic)

Indians have considered equality of all sexes and have given civil liberty and civil rights to all seixes.

I suspect there is a huge gap in India between the theoretical legal rights and the rights dictated by social norms in society, especially with respect to women. I don't have any figures, but I understand that India is by far the worst place in the world to be a woman, from the point of view of physical safety from abuse of all kinds. Until this problem is addressed, which affects almost 50% of the population, I can't see much point in worrying much about a tiny minority.

 

Perhaps unstable, narcissistic and all that is what they want, so who are you to criticize?

 

 

It was in response to your suggestion that it would be an insult to the American people to infer that stupidity played a part. If you think that this choice was devoid of stupidity, then frankly I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

And to infer (which seems to be the suggestion) that stupidity is involved can only be an insult to the American people.

 

 

 

Hear hear. They voted for an unstable ignorant narcissistic bigot, a sexual predator and compulsive liar. How on earth could stupidity be involved? What an insult to suggest that.

Terrible Trump To Truimph..?! This is pretty devastating news, not only for America but also for the rest of the world. There is a sweeping move towards the conservative right across the globe, I fear, and volatility and typical right wing agenda's are likely to become the norm. Terrible timing i.t.o. global warming. This man could take the world past the tipping point.

Chomski is on record as saying that voting Trump as president signals the end of our species. Devastating news, and an insight into what the majority of Americans think - if that is the right verb to use.

It doesn't happen when I do it. *scatches head*

Look: the principle is that when you have A = B then you can perform the same operation on both sides and the statement is still true.

By that I mean you can multiply both sides by 19/3

So -8.19/3 = 3/19 n . 19/3

I did that because that makes the numbers on the RHS cancel out, giving -152/3 = n. Easy

Edit - cross-posting with Strange, as usual

I for one fail totally to understand the explanation in the pdf file. Either it's me being thick, or it is not an explanation, or both.

We implied your forum or that forum which you are Moderator or manager or akin to this.

probably was this one : http://thescienceforum.org/

Remember you had used many many DISGUSTING words across to me.

And although I cared your words ,you had continued at this forum ,too,as it expressed and proved above (imatfaal warned/notified you but you again continued).

but the worst thing ,you caused me to take warning point as it appears on my profile.

Apologise please.

*SIGH* I don't know what on earth you are talking about. I am not the owner or manager or moderator on any forum in the universe. I can't express this in a simpler way, and I'm sorry if you don't understand my English. I repeat: you accuse me of using disgusting words. Give me evidence for these words, and I shall apologise. Otherwise, can we move on to something remotely interesting?

 

2) Accept please that you had used many many DISGUSTING words across to me in your website.

What are you talking about? I DON'T HAVE A WEBSITE

In case this information is of any use to you, a patent application to the European Patent Office (EPO) costs about €2000 for the initial application. A far cheaper method (about €100) would be to apply to a member state of the EPO convention which accepts patents in English, but then you might have the problem of disclosure. The total cost of a secure PCT application from the EPO, including attorney's fees etc. is about €5000. The patent has to be written in English, German or French.

Cross-posted with the above, which is quite amusing. Please show me any disgusting words which I have used anywhere on this forum, and I shall apologise for them.

 

Please do not believe that any mathematician would live difficulties to interpret hard formulas (hard science) like Dr.Krettin did. it is quite ridiculous

 

The differences between Me and Dr.Krettin

** he is thinking him that he is intelligent.but he thinks that he is the most intelligent one. (his "Dunning Kruger" complex shows this.he loves to insult someones. (he did it))

** I am thinking I am intelligent. But I don't say that the only intelligent one was my ownself. I generally love to compliment someones. you are free to believe or not.but I m series.

And I would inform to someones that however we be effectively intelligent ,there will already be more intelligent one later.

 

My comments have been restricted entirely to your language ability in English. My English is far better than yours, but as it is my native language, this is hardly a marker of my intelligence or how I rate my intelligence. You may be intelligent, you may not - I can't possibly know until you write something comprehensible. If you genuinely think that your English is good, then I think you have a problem with reality.

 

I think my English is good.

That is part of your problem. Your written English is not good - most of what you write here is incomprehensible. The paragraph following what I quote has more errors in it than words. If you feel insulted by a statement of fact, then that is part of your problem as well.

 

and I request you to remember that I do not care such things ,but also have almost no option to correct faults.

 

 

If I remember correctly, somebody here offered to read the manuscript and correct any faults, but you refused this. Is that correct?

I do not want to reply across such rude scientist so as not to take warning points and/or notation from editors.

Sorry but I cannot respond to rude scientists.

first apologise,then..

I offer a sincere and unreserved apology and hope that no offence was taken. But the reality is that your English is almost incomprehensible. That is not being rude, it is being realistic.

I'm sorry to say that although your English is much better than my Turkish, it really is of a standard which makes it virtually impossible to make much sense. You can't submit papers like that and expect any success, if your post is anything to judge from.

Psychoanalysis is pseudoscience; it is not falsifiable and therefore not scientific because you cannot test hidden psychological states and any knowledge gained is going to be just a prediction.

That is rather harsh, I don't really see why it should be in the same category as, say, astrology. On the above definition of science, wouldn't the theory of evolution also qualify as pseudoscience?

The trick is to first prove that Jesus Christ/God characters exist, then move on.

 

OK.... Lets say that A=6, B=12, C=18, D=24, E=30,........…......., Z=156.

 

With that being the case, then..…………

 

GOD = 156, CHRIST = 462, JESUS = 444, and JESUS CHRIST = 906.

 

Now Google " BIBLE CODE INTRODUCTION 156 462 ". Once you are at the " BIBLE CODE INTRODUCTION " website, click on the two yellow flashing words, " Watch/Listen ". Enjoy the audio/video tour of the Jesus Christ/God proof. Be sure that your browser supports the Adobe Flash Player, as does windows Chrome, Edge.

 

Anyhow, what is revealed is that names such as GOD, CHRIST, JESUS, and JESUS CHRIST, just happen to show up in the KJV Bible a certain number of times, such as 156, 462, 444, and 906 times.

 

This looks like a Jesus Christ/God signature to me.

Wow - that is amazing and a true demonstration of Christ's signature in the bible.

Just a trivial question: Given that the bible was written partly in Hebrew and partly in Greek, why do these remarkable signatures turn up in English? Do they turn up in the original languages? If not, why not?

 

and IMO voting should be mandatory

I guess this topic should have its own thread. My own view is that not many people have any kind of political opinion, and most that do have one are badly informed anyway. If you force people to vote, then you include half the population who would vote on entirely spurious criteria, and it would devalue the democratic process which is already devalued enough.

DrKrettin I suggest you open your mind to that possibility in which old parchment was used. And if Dee had 630 ducats at the time he is a likely suspect Author of the VMS.

 

 

I suggest you open your mind to the difficulty in obtaining 100-year-old parchment which was previously unused. Not impossible, but highly unlikely. Why would he do that anyway? Anticipating 15th century carbon dating?

You still have not responded to my question about what his son said:

"In addition, Dee stated that he had 630 ducats in October 1586, and his son noted that Dee, while in Bohemia, owned “a booke…containing nothing butt Hieroglyphicks, which booke his father bestowed much time upon: but I could not heare that hee could make it out.” "

This strongly suggests that even his own son thought that his father could not decipher the manuscript, i.e. he did not write it.

So basically bet your dating advice on someones inability to keep a secret. Yep. Completely concrete.

 

 

A woman's inability. Absolutely concrete. (I don't care if that is sexist)
