  1. So in what way does this not agree with Phi's response, that current science is questioned all the time? That the answer is often "yes, current science is consistent with what we know" does not mean that it is not being questioned. We only occasionally find answers that require adjusting the current paradigm.
  2. JoeH banned as yet another mpc755 clone
  3. dhimokritis has been banned as a sockpuppet of Kramer
  4. electricalelectronics has been spam-banned for posting vulgar and pornographic material. Apparently he either had a meltdown after being warned about some marginal posts, or was planning on being a jerk all along. Spam-banning removes all of his posts. Apologies if this disrupts any ongoing discussion, from before he decided to react like a child.
  5. eggman2 has been banned as a sockpuppet of Achilles
  6. Kafei has been banned at his request. We thank him for cutting the red tape, since it would have been a few hours more before other mods could have weighed in and agreed to that action. Also for the lesson that claiming you haven't broken any rules means nothing when you don't actually know/understand what the rules are.
  7. This has been extended indefinitely, for using a sock puppet account to evade a suspension. Pock Suppet has been banned as well.
  8. Bean_Spiller has been banned as a sockpuppet of inSe
  9. Arkangel Daniel has been added, possibly setting record for fewest posts necessary to make the list.
  10. Ted Watson has been banned as a sockpuppet of mpc755 et al.
  11. prashant akerkar and prashantakerkar have been banned. One for sockpuppetry, and since a second account was used to circumvent the mod queue, the other has been banned as well. David Hine's vacation has been extended indefinitely.
  12. wwlad has been banned as a sockpuppet of wlad Taingorz has been suspended a week for massive trolling
  13. No, not so much. If the theory predicts a clock will show a certain amount of elapsed time in an experiment, or the frequency will shift a certain amount, and that's what you measure, there's not a lot of room for "interpretation" Argument from personal incredulity is about as effective as a nerf® vibrator.
  14. Fortunately, your comprehension is not the metric we use. Does a spherical or cylindrical coordinate system curve? GR uses non-Euclidean geometry. It is what describes spacetime, and it is curved. No. What makes it true is that experiment agrees with the theory.
  15. ! Moderator Note No, that's not going to happen. Big Bang is mainstream physics and discussion of it and the lines of evidence that support it can and should be discussed in the science sections. And you should stop hijacking discussions to air your dissatisfaction with the situation.
  16. SamCogar has been suspended 3 days for repeatedly going anywhere and everywhere but on-topic.
  17. ! Moderator Note If you wish to discuss this, start up a thread in the speculations forum. Be sure to bring more evidence and detail than you have presented here. In this thread, it's hijacking. edit: since you've hijacked another thread, it has been split. Make your case there https://www.scienceforums.net/topic/115265-dark-matter-split-from-is-this-the-dark-matter-particle/
  18. Tom O'Neil has been suspended for repeated hijacking
  19. P = E/c only applies to massless particles
  20. swansont replied to iNow's topic in Politics
    Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck!
  21. Ant Sinclair has been suspended three days for personal attacks and thread hijacking
  22. Vvi has been suspended for abusing the PM system
  23. Threads that end up in the trash are effectively locked; no further posting is allowed. This will happen for a variety of reasons. One common one is hijacking, where the hijacker has violated other rules (or has used up their goodwill) and the thread is not simply split off. (A warning point might accompany such an action, or it may be the last unofficial warning for repeated hijacks) If that's the case, this does not preclude other members from raising that topic of discussion in a new thread. If a thread has been trashed because it's clearly unscientific or otherwise nonsensical, then it should not be resurrected. We trust your judgement in this.
  24. Philostotle has been banned as a sockpuppet of conway
  25. thoughtfuhk has been banned as a sockpuppet of ProgrammingGodJordan
