I'm shocked....

ONE YEAR!

What's wasting resources on madness (sheer) again?

[PalmStriker]

My point exactly. Trillions of markers, wasted . Human driven madness accelerating planetary in-sustainability.

[SimonM]

No, I think you misunderstand my point if you think it in any way supports yours.

To be more explicit - the most expensive super-project advancing scientific knowledge is less than one per cent of the US "defense" budget for one year. Advancing human knowledge is a worthy goal. Perpetuating a crumbling empire is not.

One is wasteful.

The other is not.

(A hint, the one that isn't spent on extrajudicial executions and overseas occupations is the one that isn't wasteful.)

I don't go around telling random people why I feel a belief in any god is a weakness, so I don't understand why so many feel the need to tell me why it gives them strength. I don't care. This is a science thread that has nothing to do with Christianity other than the fact that it's called the god particle and I made a multi-pun about the phrasing. It was not an invitation to discuss the bridges and breaks between religion and science. Science is my religion and we have many venerable priests.

OK, just needed to get that out. Let's not go there any more, at least not in this thread.


So if science is used to describe environment and our perception of said environment, what exactly does that not cover? Science is a very broad term. Theoretical physics, for example, is more philosophy than science but it is based on verifiable physics at its roots. So is theoretical physics not science then, only philosophy and therefore doesn't count in your analysis or do you feel that theoretical physics is limited and doesn't belong in some areas of thought and if so could you please list a few examples of where it does NOT belong? I'm trying to follow you here, but at this point I'm not feelin ya.

Science is not the kind of thing where you can jump ahead. Growth must be organic and flow naturally otherwise false conclusions are forced and that isn't science. It's biased opinion not rooted in fact. That being said, I can't imagine any area it couldn't grow in to. I mean, when newton did all that work I doubt he ever had even an inkling of where that would end up. Do you think the inventor of the scorpion ever dreamed of laser guided missiles? Think of all we stumble on, who knows where it will end up. That's the whole point. That's why it's so fascinating, because it doesn't have these kinds of limitations you see everywhere else.


Just to be clear tho, this thread is not a "science" thread, it's a physics thread.

Uh... clear as mud.

Did anyone read my posts and not understand that I was saying this thread is not a religious discussion or even a general science discussion, it's a physics thread. Was anyone confused by that??? or was it just drake? Anyone want to come to his defense? Anyone at all?

I feel sorry for people who live off sound bites and mini quotes taken out of context. It's becoming the norm in this self righteous over saturated and misinformation and/or disinformation era. Of course if you aren't lying about your career, you should be quite adept at both of these, it's your bread and butter.


Seriously, are you that obtuse or were you just looking to criticize because in the past I have offended you? No, of course you would never admit either. That is what children and j3rkoffs do. Which are you? I'm hoping for the former, of course if that were the case you wouldn't have the faculties to actually know it.

Either way, I don't really have anything to say to you till you man up, grow a pair, and answer my response to YOUR challenge.

Stop being such a douche and be for real. Prolly don't even have the nuttz to answer this. In your sad lil mind I'm sure you feel you take the high road firing a shot outta nowhere then hunkering down.

I used to like you, even though we disagreed on a lot, I thought you were an ok guy. Then you started getting all ego bruised when I spoke my mind and turned sour. Don't be so weak minded and we can still be friends. Of course if this offends you even more, then I doubt you have the capacity to swallow this and move on in a positive way, but I am hopeful.

I am more than willing and will even be the first to extend my hand and offer friendship. If you can handle my outspoken honestly and have a convo/argument without being offended, let me know.

[Drake]

What challenge? This is the internet, and even though I explained myself, in all actuality, I don't owe you a god **** thing. I don't do e-challenges. With anyone.

You contradicted yourself in the same post. Deal with it.

you are a shameful and disgraceful human being. you are not mentally fit to train kung fu.

Don't need kung fu when I can just use a crowbar.

What you really need to do is clean the sand outta your vijajay!
