  1. Very obtuse of you. Can’t tell if it’s deliberate, but… This is why people accuse you of trolling. The statement above, and this: You asked a question in the first post, and I answered it. By saying “I never said science can find God” you are implying that I suggested you did. It’s not a response made in good faith. You should be aware of your own statements, particularly ones made so recently.
  2. You can’t seriously think CO2 and methane didn’t exist 2000 years ago. Even if there were no humans, i.e. no anthropogenic sources, greenhouse gases would exist Solar energy gets transformed to other forms regardless. The issue is how much gets re-radiated back into space, vs getting trapped as thermal energy. Your conjecture would greatly benefit from a mathematical analysis. Quantifying this idea would make it much easier to discuss.
  3. So you have a bias in your analysis. No, science cannot find God. God does not lend themselves to such material discovery.
  4. Stating what the science is, is not opinion or belief. This isn’t bullshitting while your English prof gets you stoned
  5. Ignorance of the evidence is mot the same as nonexistence Not sure how you arrive at this conclusion, but since it’s based on not understanding the model, I think that’s moot
  6. If that’s your takeaway, you have some reading comprehension issues to address
  7. This deflection is not from the uncertainty principle, and isn’t the reason for interference. Just a big non-sequitur
  8. No, actually, you don’t have to. It’s an analogy, and if you change it, it’s not correct anymore. Nature is under no obligation to behave the way that you want it to.
  9. It wasn’t like either. A common 2D analogy is like the surface of a ballon expanding. Draw some dots on it, and inflate it. All dots move away from all the other dots. There is no center.
  10. This came up in another thread earlier this year. You can force the lease to renew; in Windows you go to the command prompt and type ipconfig /renew, though it’d possible you are assigned the same address.
  11. The current, best theory is that there is no center.
  12. Investigation has shown a problem with the boat - the priors were installed incorrectly.
  13. No, since single-photon (or electron) experiments have shown interference. Indeed. The conclusion is that the particle interferes with itself

  15. Very clever of the orcas, making it look weather-related
  16. The energy states above the ground state have a finite width owing to their lifetime (energy and time being conjugate variables). But lifetime is not part of the solution, and the energies are single-valued. So while other non-commuting variables have the uncertainty built in, the energy-time pairing do not.
  17. Not necessarily. The solution to the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom gives the energy eigenstates, but does not give the width of the energy states.
  18. But it’s not the Pedant forum; most understand what’s meant by renewable energy.
  19. ! Moderator Note Nope From rule 2.3: Descriptions of the construction or synthesis of illegal or hazardous devices or chemicals are subject to removal at the discretion of the staff.
  20. You use motors instead of engines. Electric planes exist. Electric jet engines have been developed https://thedebrief.org/revolutionary-new-electric-ejet-motor-could-signal-a-breakthrough-in-electric-propulsion-for-aviation/ The problem is the weight of the "fuel". Batteries are quite heavy, and you have to lift that extra weight, which means you need more energy storage to move the same amount of payload. You reach a point of diminishing returns when you add more batteries. It's an efficiency issue.
  21. They don't want the people to think or act for themselves. They want mindless obedience and compliance.
  22. Seems to me you’re looking for a passage that clearly and blatantly states something, in a book that rarely does that.
  23. Then it seems you need to do some research, instead of broad, and thus inaccurate, accusations
  24. What passages explicitly show this?
