POINT!

there are many errors in your post. I suggest you look each of your points up very carefully. Example: http://news-info.wustl.edu/tips/page/normal/5513.html There is definitely evidence of an early reducing atmosphere.

Are all flares expected to provide similar delays regardless of the source strength? If not, then you can't say whether a different shift is caused by dispersion or a variation in the speed of light. Unless the source strength can be inferred from the spectral width...I guess.

Question: How do they know that the delay is not caused by dispersion of any material in the path of the light?

Hahaha...I think we are mean. You need to be a little more legible though.

If you search 'Atlantis + Baphomet' in Google you just come up with a bunch of forum threads that always start with 'in a recent lecture, a professor said...' This is probably some crude tactic to make us believe there is some legitimacy to the claim...but this guy obviously came to the wrong forum to say this. LOL.

QM postulates are derived from many many experiments. The experiments dictate a statistical nature...not that its an 'excuse'.

Don't really have too much time to explain this at the moment...maybe someone else will give a more detailed answer. Anyways...if you can describe a logical process of events based on inputs and outputs, then it can most likely be modeled using Finite State Machine models. Almost all finite state models can be converted into a logical circuit based on logic gates...these are mathematic representations (ex AND, OR, NOT etc...). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_state_machine These logic gates can then be built using transistors which are basically just switches...its a bit complicated to understand how transistors can come together to form logic gates, but just believe me for now that they do. So basically, this sums up alot of digital electronics. A concept based on inputs and outputs gets modeled at a high level, then converted to logical circuitry and then to physical transistors which we can build. Current day computers are an evolution of this concept.

mmmm, I don't know about this. The quality of acceptable data should be determined by the field being studied and not by science as a whole. Subsequently, knowing the limitations of your data should also be known.

Note that you will not be able to find any (satisfactory) nanotech job with an undergrad degree. I have an undergraduate degree specializing in nano-engineering and no company would even reply to an email from someone with a bachelors...so now I'm getting my PhD.

Nanotechnology as a whole is mostly a branch of chemistry and partly a branch of materials science. Any applications into biotech and medicine originate from there first.

Although I find slehar's explanation incorrect, the conclusion that there is only waves, no duality shouldn't be discredited so easily. Most particle-like behaviour can be interpreted as wave interactions. This is not to say that there is no discrete photon. I merely suggest that we can interpret particle interactions as complicated wave interactions. It serves us quite well to think of particles bouncing around in many scenarios though which is probably why the duality concept exists.

I think the OP is slightly confused in asking if we can make something invisible in such a way. The answer is no.

There's no such thing. Crude 'paint on' electroluminescent concepts are in research though...but still maybe a decade or two away from widespread feasibility.

I don't see anything wrong with that title...I've seen longer.

Ya, that sounds more likely. Though I didn't know Nd had a pump transition at 808 nm...

Are you serious? That sounds a bit too elaborate to be useful...Do people still do this? Might as well get an InGaAs diode at ~1000nm and convert that to ~500nm.

808 nm? That can't be right if its converting to 532 nm... Anyways...yes, you can buy crude single lens diode collimators. If you want a circular beam, you'll need a special cylindrical lens after the collimator.

A meta-material isn't a 'material'...its more a well ordered and shaped collection of materials (metals and dielectrics) such that the total contribution forces a negative refractive index. There is no natural material with negative refractive index.

The snopes article argues that the 'important social problem' is very prevalant and no specific gruesome murder is ignored over another based on race. Just that a) sellability is a factor b) there are just way too many gruesome murders I'd say thats not too weak an argument.

Perhaps your rant DOES have something to do with "conspiracy" You DEFINITELY believe some non-scientific agenda drives the selection of results rather than a statistical, scientific method. Thus your rant is based on a conjecture of conspiracy and cover up. stop pretending it isn't.

There's an even simpler answer given by those at snopes.com

Seats are won by winning a riding, not by popular vote. Though 35 % of the total population may have voted for Labour, it was distributed in such a way that they won a majority of seats. This type of government election occurs in many many places around the world, and it is expected that the popular vote does not resemble the seats won. Thus ofcourse noone will complain...

Far from a scientific analysis of all factors affecting temperature...and ofcourse, even further from proof. I suggest that if you want to make claims about current status of scientific opinion, you post a thorough literature survey in your blog, complete with references. Atleast then we'd be inclined to believe your competence.
