  1. Your egotistical rant might make some kind of sense if you were right.
  2. The Bible: Whole sections stolen from older legends - yes. Wishful thinking
  3. Whoops. I was half asleep when I wrote 'gradient'.
  4. Just do a search (I use Duckduckgo because fuck Google) for aerodynamics software - there's quite a lot.
  5. Sounds like it might be fun. If I can find the time I'll have a play with that.
  6. You need to look at the charge gradient - not the actual charge relative to the external world.
  7. As far as simulations go: Try messing around with fuzzy logic. From Wikipedia: "Fuzzy logic is a form of many-valued logic in which the truth values of variables may be any real number between 0 and 1. It is employed to handle the concept of partial truth, where the truth value may range between completely true and completely false." Add a bit of randomness & I guarantee you won't get the same results from a program every time. Include a learning algorithm & it's liable to end up at least as unpredictable as me at my most chaotic.
  8. The OP had already started one thread (closed down immediately): "l and I bet ya the only studies out there are atheistic. Where are the studies by scientists that say being gay is natural? None. Thought so. Sinners." So; definitely aimed at human homosexuality.
  9. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199410063311407 http://psychology.ucdavis.edu/faculty_sites/rainbow/html/facts_mental_health.html https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8772014/
  10. I suspect many (a majority?) of homophobes are repressed homosexuals.
  11. Without even looking at it, I can say that, like most diet fads, it is almost certainly bullshit.
  12. Never. Except in it's collective head.
  13. http://science27.com appears to be a crackpot site (Elastic Universe????).
  14. Jet engine yes. Modern no. Coanda used a piston engine as the compressor.
  15. When I was young, I smoked a piece of glass with a candle and watched an eclipse through it - worked perfectly.
  16. Here's what Brian Koberlein has to say about it. https://briankoberlein.com/2015/03/22/the-pendulum-of-truth/
  17. The one that always amuses me is Mouse Milk Oil.
  18. Avoiding junk food is easy - unless you have some secret craving to eat shit (even then, I would have thought it cheaper to just fish it out of the toilet).
  19. What makes you think there is any sort of ultimate goal or direction - that is pure conceit.
  20. Every day I find new reasons to be thankful I live in a civilised country.
  21. Which of the infinite number of possible (assuming gods are possible - very unlikely IMHO) gods are you referring to.
  22. My BS alert goes off whenever I see 'electromagnetism' and 'gravity' used together in one sentence.
  23. Damn! my brain must be going. I had to check to be sure that was Dylan Thomas.
