Who on earth do you expect to read that monstrosity? It got up to the Miller experiment and got bored.

 

In short: You're not being original and you're not smarter than the millions of scientists out there that do the sort of work that you're distorting. That's maybe the thing I find most incredible about Evolution deniers (I won't say Creationists for your benefit). Do you really think you're so smart because you read that paperback that was so brilliant and gave those Darwinians the one-two?

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.

A growing chorus of voices is saying that the authors over interpreted their data.

 

It could become like "cold fusion".

 

Other groups observing AGN flares might try to replicate, with flares at different distances so that one would expect different dispersion (if the effect happens during travel and not at the source).

 

And if other groups can't find the effect then the excitement just dies down.

 

Bee Hossenfelder's blog "Backreaction" has this comment:

"This is the summary, status Sunday evening. In case I loose one or the other reader here, let me give you my opinion up front: there is no experimental evidence for quantum gravity, and none of the present theories can be tested with currently available data. If you're looking for sensations, you're on the wrong blog. I suggest you try one of those mentioned above instead."

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.

^^^ hahaha

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.

Thank you BhavinB, I was told that bioengineers in the first year study

nearly the same as chemical engineers. (It's difficoult for me to find a course, because It's hard to match my choice with job-, school-, and further studies opportunities and my abilities.)

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.

I thought the 808 pumped a Nd:something to create 1064, and then you get the FD with a crystal (KTP or KDP, don't recall which)

 

I know they make the collimation lenses, but not where they sell them separately.

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

 

it gets better than that, from the 808, it`s then made to 1600 something and Then into the 532

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.

*Bump*

 

I just bought a pair of 532nm 50mw green lasers unmodified

they`re DPSSFD types, so I`ll keep one as it is and plan on taking the crystals and filter out the other to leave a 808nm 350mw IR laser pump diode.

 

doesn`t anyone know if this can be colminated directly?

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.

Yes, that is in the link I provided in the OP. I was supplementing that possibility with another. Both arguments are a bit weak, however, given the sensational nature of this crime. Sensational crimes usually create sensational news.

 

As Pangloss says, however, it really doesn't matter what the cause is if the result is the underreporting of an important social problem.

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.

This has nothing to do with covering up data or conspiracy, it has to do with balancing selectivity evenly between past and present measurements and interpretations to arrive at more accurate conclusions.

Perhaps your rant DOES have something to do with "conspiracy"

During the construction of London’s Trafalgar Square hippopotamus bones dating back 125,000 years were also uncovered indicating sustained Thames Valley temperatures of +30°C, yet also found were Woolly Mammoth bones dating back to 60,000 indicating a much cooler climate. During the past 125,000 years we have consequently seen a variation of at least 50°C in average temperatures in Britain, yet these are not reflected in the charts of our temperature measurement analysis. [b']One can’t help but wonder why ![/b]

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

Some commentators (as cited in the example reproduced above) have made much of the fact that the bulk of the news reportage about the Newsom/Christian murders has been local (predominantly in Tennessee' date=' where the crimes took place, and in neighboring Kentucky), while the case has received little or no national coverage by major news outlets — a phenomenon attributed to supposedly biased news media loath to report black-on-white crime. (Both Christian and Newsom were white; all five of the suspects arrested in connection with their killings are black.)

 

However, the notion that every major news outlet in the U.S. (all of them competitive, profit-making businesses) has conspired to ignore what would otherwise be a compelling national story is rather implausible. A more rational explanation might be found in the sober observation that murders — even decidedly horrific murders — are unfortunately too frequent an occurrence in the U.S. for all of them to garner national attention. The cases that do tend to attract prolonged, nationwide coverage are ones exhibiting a combination of factors (e.g., scandal, mystery, sexual elements, celebrity involvement, shockingly large numbers of deaths, victims who especially elicit sympathy) that make them particularly fascinating and compelling to the public at large, such as the still-unsolved murder of 6-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey, the mysterious disappearance (and death) of pregnant Laci Peterson, the massacre of 32 students and faculty at Virginia Tech, and the celebrity trial to determine whether actress Lana Clarkson committed suicide or was killed by reclusive record producer Phil Spector.

 

And, of course, the fact that the victims were white and the (presumed) killer black didn't stop the O.J. Simpson murder trial from becoming the most media-covered event in the history of jurisprudence.[/quote']

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.
