  1. QUOTE: "Did you look at the chimp photo.." Yea I did - Testicles larger than tennis balls! I would not want to fight it - and without a weapon I would surely loose.
  2. This 'Bats and Chimps aren't as capable as people' thing... I can't remember who said it here recently but I'd like to echo it again in reply to this. Humans may well be more intelligent than sharks.... but drop a man, naked, into the middle of the Atlantic and you will see who is the better evolved to exist in that kind of environment. In other words, yes, chimp or bats are not as capable as a human at doing human things, but the same is true if human tries to do what a chimp or a bat can do. Humans can't even fly! They aren't as capable as bats (at being bats).
  3. To play advocate - there is no evidence against it either. It was so long ago it can't be known. As for the development of tools - it could be acquired cumulative learning passed on. The fact that their tools were more sophisticated is not proof of higher or lower intelligence.
  4. Back to REACH. Another example it failing imo - I was looking for product/chemical to do a certain thing in a formulation of mine. I asked a supplier for suggestions and asked to try a particular chemical. They then tell me that I can/t have said sample because their company haven't bothered registering it as it didn't seem worth their while and won't be bothering to register it at all. No-one else makes it. This will happen more and more for sure. It was so obvious that this sort of thing would happen when they revealed the system.
  5. As an outside observer I'd too like to add that you could argue the same from the opposite prospective - you can take features from the last 3 and say that they are similar and that the first one is vastly different. e.g. -The last 3 have a flattened mouth from whereas the oldest has a more pronounced lower jaw that projects out more.. -The last 2 are very similar in the way that they have little thickness to the bone around the eyes socket, where as the earliest one has thick armoured bone protecting the eyes. - The teeth of the last 3 look more human whereas the oldest skull has more animal looking teeth. - The last 3 have more flattened faces whilst the oldest has a longer face. etc... You can take any of the pics and cherry pick which feature you focus on and make a case... then someone else can focus on different features and make the opposite case as I have shown.
  6. beating themselves up? if that turns you on then you Miss, are perverted. Haiku thread has been resurrected! yay yay yay we all love Haiku!
  7. PS - I wouldn't worry about finding it hard to understand first few times you get taught it, it is quite normal as it can be hard to get your head around it. Wait until you try to do questions involving integration by parts and other complex integrals, lol. It gets even harder still when the integrals are given in complex algebraic forms which you have to first simplify into some form you recognise so you can then use integration by parts or the correct method to solve for your equation.
  8. not comprehensive, but other useful things from it are that you can differentiate an equation on any point on a curve to get the gradient at that point and you can integrate the equation of a curve or line between 2 points to get the area beneath it on a graph - both useful in the mechanics suggestion from above. Take the velocity vs. time graph... the gradient or slope of the curve is the rate that the speed is increasing dv/dt (change in velocity with time) - so you can differentiate an equation at any given point on the graph of v vs t to find dv/dt which is the rate of change of velocity compared to time, which is acceleration. - very useful.
  9. How many CM skulls have been found? How many have the round circle? May have been an execution practice? Especially if they were found in same place.
  10. Hi Steven, Try typing 'alcohol liver damage' into google - there are pages of stuff about the subject. Much more than anyone will give you in an e-mail. But, yes, it seems that there is a connection between liver damage and alcohol consumption. PS - I am not a medical doctor so you can't use my credentials as a reference - but you shouldn't need it - it is well know that there is a correlation as a quick search will confirm.
  11. Experimentation will give you what we know already - it has been well tested and written up in text books. We need a unification theory, but we don't have that yet... it isn't a cop out, we just do not know how it works and that's that. Think of the example of a 2D being trying to make sense of a 3 or 4D world... things pop in and out of existence for those beings and no amount of testing can give them the info they need to make sense of things beyond their 2 dimensions. You say that there 'surely' must be a way... well, where is it? no-one has found it yet and it kind of seems beyond our reach with our current levels of knowledge and understanding. It is as unobtainable as trying to look through binoculars to see what happened before the big bang - we don't have the tools for it and probably don't even know what tools we need.
  12. in pretty much all Sid Myers Civilization games it ends at 2050..... 2050 and it Game Over!
  13. We still define magnets that can hold that alignment permanent magnets. As I said - it is semantics... is anything permanent at all if you consider the timescales of the universe?
  14. I guess it depends on your interpretation of the word permanent. If unaffected by external fields, impacts or temperature changes I thought they were permanent, but could be shown to be wrong. Its like motion... all motion is permanent due to a body's inertia. It will only come to rest if acted upon by an external force. Does this mean that motion in a body is permanent? (sorry if this analogy isn't great - I liked it as a way to get thinking about something that is permanent that can be stopped by external influence).
  15. ffs - fatally flawed surely
  16. QUOTE: "the magnets will wear down.... do not need to be recharged using fossil fuels" But DO need recharging...... and this charging will take more energy that you got out of the system in the first place, so the energy is not free, it will require more work putting in than you get out. Are you getting this yet? I am sure anyone who knows what they are talking about would have told you the same thing over and over. It is like trying to pour 2 pints of beer from a single pint glass.... no matter how you try to do it you will only get 1 pint out of that one glass.... you will never get 1.2 pints from it because there is only 1 pint in there to begin with. Energy is quantised. QUOTE: "free energy is a mind teaser".. Not really - it is well understood and NONE of these you-tube vids actually work - they are tricks or mistakes.... as you yourself will find out if you continue with this lost cause. No amount of testing or tweaking or using irrational numbers instead of regular spacings is going to change this unfortunately.
  17. +1 for your patience and helpful demeanor towards this young person trying to learn. I do not really subscribe to this sickening sycophantic trend that seems to have started recently that see people creeping in posts saying that they have given +1 for something for x,y,z. - I prefer the anonymity of it, but maybe the person you helped will see that there is a way to thank you from this.
  18. The magnets will eventually die and it will take more energy to remake them than you get out of them. Also - you need to apply a force to the magnet that drives the motor to hold it into place - which is being provided by the person in the video by holding it.... the energy needed to provide that force by the person (i.e the food he eats to power his muscles) will be far higher than the puny electric current generated that powers the light. Oh - PS - you cant just have a frame to hold the 'drive' magnet as the thing will not work like that. When the thing starts turning there is the attractive force to overcome from the other poles - the man in the film can subtly influence this so it only drives forward by pulling back a bit and pushing forwards very slightly to over come the effect - some people get around this problem by having an electromagnet which switches on and off at the right moments so the propeller only experiences the push and not the pull of the magnets, but this doesn't work either as you need power in order for the electro magnet to work. The guy in the video probably knows this and is either hoaxing people for fun or for funding.... or maybe he is just un aware of his errors... otherwise, why hasn't he built a generator already and made millions? Answer: he is either a con man/trickster or a fool.
  19. The readings they get might be in mVs and this reading may indeed be correlated/related to muscle tension in some way, but, it is not a direct measure of tension. Tension iirc has units in newtons as it is a force. What answer were you looking for?
  20. ASAP - As Soon As Possible ASAFP - As Soon As Fizzically Possible ASAFPP - As Soon As Fizzically Possible Please.
  21. Well... er, black lives DO matter do they not? I am sure she supports all kinds of charities. Some officers are good and enforce the law - a lot of them in that institution are well known to be racists - what is you point? And how is eradicating poverty a bad thing? God your thinking is skewed.
  22. The whole thing stinks of FOX news lies and propaganda.
  23. Quote:...."promises equal pay for women..." How can anyone in this day and age argue that this is a bad idea? And how can you argue that it is wrong to support and give a boost to the poorest in society? You are basically showing your misogyny and your racism both in that post - and I expect you don't even think of your self as either racist or misogynist at all.
  24. If you are interested in understanding it then why not do some kind of physics course? PS EE - I saw one of those little bugs in a box toys the other day, you know, where the legs go crazy - I thought it would be perfect for your telepathy experiments, you could ignore the fact that the legs just move anyway and claim it as telepathy. win.
  25. Except that your explanations are incoherent ramblings because you continually fail to accept advice about your incorrect use of the language from native speakers. That is very ignorant. . Fine - ignore me then - I'm finished with you. PS - and it is not an 'idea' of mine - it is a statement of fact based on observation. You are too far up yourself to realise you need help.
