Phi for All

Oh, which ones? I don't know of a single bird type that gives birth to live offspring. Educate me! We can show mountains of evidence that chickens didn't magically appear out of thin air. Science isn't interested in proof, but rather in the best supported explanations. It is NOT all speculation. Who on Earth taught you that? Science studies the natural world, so anything that claims to be supernatural is on its own. That's why religions can make up any damn thing they want to, but science has to stick to the evidence. Many people have beliefs that seem magical to others. It's not what we're interested in discussing here, though.

So basically you have a bad opinion of him that you want to spin as fact. I haven't seen you once support any of these attacks on his person, and you try to argue that he's an idiot for being a leader who won't back down. I don't mind you having dumb reasoning, but it's so obvious you can't support it with more than hot air from your waving hands, and while your agenda may not be obvious, it still has a smell to it that seems on brand for you. Just sayin'.

Writing the letters and punctuation on Cheese Nips was a stroke of genius, I must say.

Very few university science professors would go to such lengths for the perfect pickled onion, so um, well done. Is the placenta used in the brine, or are you picking the onions in utero?

Part of the problem is that folks who don't read mainstream science probably won't read what's posted here. The methodology doesn't always seem intuitive. Some folks think it's all guesswork and they just want to toss their two cents in the ring like everybody else.

I read much more than I post. swansont is an atomic physicist working with the US Naval Observatory's atomic clocks. I thank him every time GPS works and my phone guides me to my destination.

Here's where studying evolution would really help. Eggs don't evolve. Evolution is the change in allele frequency within a population over time. So what happened was that a creature who was almost what we classify as a chicken laid an egg that became eggxactly what we classify as a chicken.

Folks, even in Speculations we don't bring up religion, and for several good reasons.

! Moderator Note That's enough! Stop posting garbage that's demonstrably false in our mainstream science sections.

https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/why-do-small-dogs-live-longer/ I'm not sure this reasoning is good. Some fruit trees live as long as some house cats. And some smaller animals live much longer than some larger ones, as CharonY mentioned. And besides that, trying to make humans bigger in order to extend life expectancy would seem to create more problems than it solves. Better healthcare, better nutrition, more attention to safety, all these things show a much better chance of succeeding. You like herring, do you?

Cats, in general, live longer than dogs. Small dogs, in general, live longer than big dogs. And yet the oldest trees aren't the largest. It's looking like your idea is incomplete. And like most phenomena, there is no single scientific explanation, especially for complex lifeforms (don't say "energy lifeforms" unless you're prepared to define this for us). There are lots of factors in this instance besides size. Some lifeforms (like cats) live longer because they live a more isolated life, and aren't as prone to disease as herd and pack species are. Some creatures live in stages where size has less of an impact than function. We're already getting so big that many babies have to be cut out of their mothers at birth. Bigger size means using more resources, and that's another "big" problem. I think your solutions are far too simplistic for the complex stuff you're talking about. I really wish you'd put that wonderful mind to use studying mainstream science rather than trying to solve all problems with a hammer you made yourself.

! Moderator Note Making things up isn't how science is done. Perhaps you need to start a blog somewhere. Everyone here is interested in discussing mainstream science.

! Moderator Note This isn't mainstream physics, so I'm moving it to Speculations, but it's got some problems you need to fix before it can be seriously discussed here. "Continuum" is actually defined by its wholeness, and the fact that it isn't divisible. Also, energy is a property of things, not a thing itself, so the universe can't be "made of light energy". Also also, using the non-scientific term "founding fathers" wrt the geometry of space is just confusing, so you may want to study some terminology instead of making it up.

! Moderator Note This is a mainstream science section. Please keep your pet ideas out of it. If you can support any of this, start your own thread in Speculations, please.

Love it. The two stories I'm thinking about most right now? That Russian tank that swerved to crush that civilian vehicle, and how the tough old man survived while his fellow Ukrainians helped free him from the crushed wreckage. I'm juxtaposing that with a story I heard about what the Ukrainians are doing to Russian soldiers they've captured. They're encouraging them to phone their families and friends back in Russia. "Let them know that you're safe and unharmed, because your loved ones must all be freaking out that you were fighting and now you're captured, right?" These are the kinds of things Putin can't stand up to. Right isn't always in might's corner.

He's also anthropomorphizing the universe, and we all know how much she hates that!

At T=1 second, neutrinos were decoupling to form the cosmic neutrino background, so we're past the "one tiny particle" state. Are you kidding? There was no Earth at the time, nor was there EVER an Earth where human bodies existed in a degenerate state of matter. You should study science instead of trying to make it up on your own.

Stop right here and support this sentence with actual evidence. This is the part you're assuming, the part that makes your reasoning circular.

! Moderator Note You need to focus on ideas you can support with evidence. Try to avoid lumping everyone in a profession together (all archeologists?! all geologists?!). Study some mainstream science (the early universe was tiny, and too tiny for stars and planets, and the matter that eventually became China was NOT scaled to fit). In other words, humans have accumulated a great deal of knowledge so you could study it, instead of making stuff up from square one.

! Moderator Note This is NOT logic, and doesn't meet the requirements for a science discussion here. You assume too much, and build on such fragile foundations. This is a science discussion forum.

You're using a circular argument that begs the question of whether reincarnation exists. The argument assumes too much.

! Moderator Note Our policy of not attacking people extends to all people. Focus on ideas and actions, please.

If you could first establish support for this idea that there is some kind of "artificial electricity that pervades the atmosphere", it might help others understand what you mean. What is "artificial electricity"? What things have this property? You get 5 posts on your first day, as a way to protect us from spammers, so tomorrow you can perhaps support your ideas a bit better? That would be great, thanks.
