The moon is fake- a large, crudely painted balloon, held in place by helium and propelled by tiny sails and rudders (which is why it moves across the sky so slowly).
An answer apropos. Excellent!
Making one mindful of the quantum counterpart of the chicken or egg. The particle or the wave. Thankfully this dual nature keeps everything from being defined accurately because life is too easy! So we make up words like "orbital" to describe a theory that may or...
I don't know if the moon is going slightly too fast causing it to move 2 inches further from the earth every year or if it is the effect of universe expansion in which begs the question, "Does the inch get bigger with the rest of the universe?" I know they say they are measuring the distance...
So the electron is sentient and mischievous? How can all of them be sentient and have the same playful personality?
I read somewhere, people are playful when they are thankful. What are all the electrons thankful for? A nucleus for a playmate?
You know many electrons have to share their...
If we are running on a computer, were won't be able to tell if the computer was powerful or pathetic. Being in a closed system the passage of time would never change for us(aside from the slight differences caused by gravity wells)
We could be running on a Pentium II computer running Windows...
What are you emotions about this?

What an excellent question!
No, I have not.
Yes, I would if it was the last resort, but I would be looking for some way to get out of begging. I had to do day-labor for about a month once and I worked hard to get out of that situation quickly.
Giving money to a begger/taking money as a begger...
Have you ever panhandled?
If yes, why and how did it feel and did you make a lot?
If no, would you ever and what would bring you to it?
Bear in mind I'm not talking about asking for money from family, friends, or coworkers. I'm talking about total strangers.
You seem grumpy in some of your other posts also so I know it's not just me. I don't feel like I'm acting all superior and what of my work do you do?
The rest of your post seems well written, relevant and without attitude.
You decide your own level of involvement, not me. Don't like it? You are free to complain. It's not like we are building a relationship, but why are you so grumpy? Does it not stand to reason my purpose here is different from yours? Why are you trying to force your mindset onto me? I didn't go...
Your input is the third goal I was looking for. I was soliciting the forum for funded science projects that you, the forum, disapprove of. I didn't come right out and say it because I wanted to see the reaction to the title also. I knew eventually someone would offer something. I have to...
Who said anyone was an idiot? Where did that come from? I'm not standing above anyone, I just have an opinion.
I had three goals with this thread and since the premise is based on an opinion which I am not going to change, intellectual discussion wasn't one of them. Analyzer nailed 2 of them(in...
Incorrect. It says a buttload and it's even relevant.
I called science dumb so you called the thread dumb.
I didn't ask you to assume anything. I didn't even imply that you should read the spoiler. And if you were concerned about the things I listed, then you would have verified whether they...
You don't have to do anything. You are responsible for your own actions, feelings and words and you decide if you feel compelled to respond certain way.
No, logical deduction has merit in science to validate a theory, but it doesn't prove anything.
A candle burned down to the plate it's on doesn't guarantee that it is what was used to ignite the ashes in the trash can in the same room.
A valid theory, but alas, only a theory. We'll never...
Hey, I am be inept but I got pizzaid! I'm giving myself a bonus! My face hurts from grinning about how I got over!
Incidentally, science is not dumb- it's the best thing we have to describe the world.
If you want a strong reaction, call something people venerate, dumb. I could make a whole...
Private funding is exactly that, private. Government spending should have oversight and should be within reason.
I have a government grant to study the reaction of forum folk to misleading thread titles. The amount is excessive and I appreciate your participation(your tax dollars of course)...
I didn't say it was hard. I'm a programmer and complexity doesn't scare me.
This thread provides data corroborating that statement. Note how users rush to the rescue of science- almost passionately.
Why would science need to be defended?
Now before you have your mouth agape for too long and get a cramp, be advised that I am not making a blanket statement that applies to the scientific method.
Non interfering objective acquisition of knowledge rocks.
I'm talking about some of the stupid crap money is wasted on studying...
Ease your self into difficulty and you'll be the legacy of the future with humble pride because as you know, chunky peanut butter doesn't pour quickly.
I will sign for the message, but I require and imaginary receipt that is covered in pointy flowers and the font must be Black Chancery.
The ONE that passes into my possession need be nubile before a purple sky.
A satisfactory response.
My first post in your thread was born from my own experience. I took a bunch of tests as I suspected that I was the smartest person alive. I got a reasonable high score and bragged about it many years while accomplishing nothing.
So I got my number and I too was...
Heh, that could have been written, "Have you discovered that you are a worthless arrogant peckerwood," but I can see from your response that you are not. I will assume that if you are looking for tests to prove yourself of then you suspect a higher IQ because you find yourself understanding more...
