  1. I don’t think it’s a question of IQ or human processing power. Modern science builds on the backs of giants, computers help but may never do more than help. As with the hundred meters record there’s always something to shave in terms of the fastest time, it’s an exponential curve that never reaches the zenith. In the past a giant like Newton or Einstein will move the goalposts and others add to that knowledge, there will always be something more to add.
  2. How I wish, it would have gone viral and I'd be famous... A very good point and I feel suitably chastised, however, it does seem that troll season is here and as such it's a little too easy to sometimes assume were the ones under attack.
  3. It’s very scary stuff extrapolation leaves you with the possibility of a new crusade type campaign, with who knows who as the target.
  4. I’m sorry what exactly is your point here? Even God has had his day in court (not literally) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawsuits_against_God
  5. The thing for me that is the most amazing about this is the size of the Oort cloud, truly awesome. Thanks for sharing Zapatos.
  6. Having re-watched the video they do seem to be making that claim, they scan the wrench with what appears to be a 3D laser scanner. I can only imagine they skipped the extra input or overlaid the scan with an existing model of the wrench.
  7. I’m sorry I didn’t make myself at all clear. I understand how you could design the wrench to be movable and in one piece the process being layer by layer. What I’m unclear of is how you take an external scan and without further input have enough information of the internal mechanism to make it movable?
  8. I'm familiar with the process in that it’s possible to create plastic (not sure of the chemicals involved) shapes in this way, however I can’t see how the wrench could be made without making it in three separate parts.
  9. Good point. Couldn't this be covered by a living will?
  10. Seriously you think I’m advocating such atrocities? Anyone who takes my post as a call to arms is sociopathic and needs psychiatric help, religious or not...
  11. If one is suicidal couldn’t this be considered to be contradictory by definition?
  12. Having survived my own suicide attempt (at the time of trying it wasn’t a cry for help) I have since changed my mind on the subject. Should this be allowed? Isn’t this just a temporary state of mind however long this state persists? Does a doctor’s oath become meaningless if s/he is allowed to kill?
  13. Please don’t end this thread I haven’t laughed so much since my granny caught her tit in the mangle.
  14. You're getting caught up in the minutia (probably deliberately) of the argument, do the crusades mean nothing to you? Ordered by the pope in which many thousands died in the name of God. (edit) Not to mention the inquisition, torture’s such fun, God loves it when the bloody atheists get what’s coming...
  15. Ok but does this preclude the chance that some areas of space could achieve the required density and temperature to form BEC and if so would this region of space be big enough for observation (given were about to observe) or would the density create a higher temperature and thus inhibit the formation? (edit) I guess I've answered myself here so don't worry about a reply.
  16. This is the definition of evidence in the Oxford English dictionary. Good luck in providing you're evidence btw. noun the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid: the study finds little evidence of overt discrimination Law information given personally, drawn from a document, or in the form of material objects, tending or used to establish facts in a legal investigation or admissible as testimony in court: without evidence, they can't bring a charge signs; indications: there was no obvious evidence of a break-in I don't have a concept of God, of any sort, I'm an atheist. You don't get to decide the rules of the forum.
  17. Did you miss this part or just ignored it? Coincidence isn’t evidence.
  18. "Quick robin to the batmobile, the jokers escaped again" "Holy crap on a cracker batman"
  19. Please move if this is in the wrong forum. When/if the universe reaches the critical temperature for the Bose-Einstein condensate to form, what effects would this have to observation of the universe?
  20. It strikes me that the devotees of god are not the ones being attacked.
  21. Really njaohnt, it seems you can’t even reply to your own post with any coherence.
  22. The cure for cancer may not be available now, maybe tomorrow, but science is making progress. When has faith re-grown an amputated limb?
  23. Humans and many other animals want and need (in some way) routine, this could be an extension of that need.
  24. Yes it does, thanks for your honesty. Does it have to be an outside force? Couldn’t it be that it reached a critical mass? A black hole continuously sucks in (for want of a better word) matter or photons that cross the event horizon, at some point could this not be the reason for the reaction rather than a creator?
