  1. What are you trying to explain that isn't covered by existing science? You've mentioned mechanical and thermodynamic effects, but both are areas of established physics. Ask the question in a new thread, please.
  2. There are radio stations that broadcast the USNO master clock voice announcer feed when they have certain issues, so people know the station is still broadcasting. Maybe I can slip Girl from Ipanema in there next April 1
  3. You are correct, this is where I got it. “classified” does not mean they know but aren’t telling.
  4. Can you provide a quote? I think you’re reading more into the article than what’s there.
  5. If they can’t identify them, they can’t restrict the possibilities
  6. altaylar2000 has joined the not-chat
  7. altaylar2000 has been suspended for thread hijacking, bad faith arguments and soapboxing. Upon their return they will be in the mod queue
  8. Or possibly this is not the case, if we consider the folly of imposing human morality standards on non-human species. Why?
  9. That’s one alternative, not the alternative.
  10. That column did not say that aliens have visited Earth. Among the things it did say was that there literally are objects flying around that no one, including U.S. Navy pilots, can identify, and we have to puzzle out what that means. There are flying objects we can’t identify, and no, they aren’t aliens. That doesn’t seem controversial, or something we should expect will change.
  11. This is a quite unsatisfactory response, in that there is no thing that everyone knows, and the implications of possibly “knowing” things that are not true. Two reasons to support your claims. For what does China pay the United States?
  12. But if you applied actual physics to the problem, you might see the circumstances under which this could and could not happen.
  13. No, you asserted it. You have not presented any supporting evidence or experimental results.
  14. Oh, do tell. Walk through this example in detail
  15. Water vapor and liquid water have some strong absorption features of increasing strength as you move into the NIR and IR. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption_by_water
  16. ! Moderator Note Is there a question here? Or are you just here to broadcast your imperfect understanding? (i.e. studiot was not wrong in their assessment)
  17. There are two separate issues. Does the product contain what is claimed (which was your question, AFAICT), and is the treatment safe and effective. The FDA would be involved with the second issue if this were a drug. Most supplements are not regulated in the US as drugs, but probably would be in terms of food safety.
  18. It's up to you to show this is true (which it isn't)
  19. The fact that you suffer certain side-effects does not mean that other people experience the same side-effects.
  20. Your argument means you claim to see the sun because it reflects off of dust in space, and aren't getting light directly from it.

    ! Moderator Note You broke the first rule of the religion and philosophy forum Philosophy/religion forum rules: 1. Never make it personal a. Disagreements about beliefs should never be in the form of attacks on the believers. If you want to try again without the provocation, you can open a new thread.
