Famous Scientists who believed in Poppycock

[Agonaces of Susa]

Gravity _does_ affect aircraft.

Aircraft in flight are not accelerating to the Earth at 9.8 meters per second squared. They are accelerating in quite another direction.

I'll start:

Lord Kelvin: "heavier than air flying machines are impossible"

Evidence against: aeroplanes.

Every scientist on earth except one: Thalidomide is a wonder drug.

Evidence against:

Clyde Tombaugh and Percival Lowell: Pluto is our 9th planet.

Evidence against:

NASA control: You are 'go' for throttle-up.

Evidence against:

All your showing with Thalidomide is a result of capitalism, and is not the result of scientists. Greed my friand greed will do horrible things.

Clyde Tombaugh and Percival Lowell: Pluto is our 9th planet.

and yet Clyde and Percival where wrong.

fancy that. No one bothered to learn what the definition of is, is. they took it for granted.

NASA control: You are 'go' for throttle-up.

What does this have to do with scientists and the scientific method?

You should be blaming engineers. Scientists dont build things, Engineers do.

If your going to carry on with this garbage, maybe i should post examples of what Christians make. Its mostly devices that torture people.

For the love of humanity AV, stop thread craping your tired old arguments!

If you have a bone to pick with these topics we can go mono e mono but you like to be the center of attention and likely dont care about actually arguing these topics. So if you dont want to ague these topics do everyone a favor and stop.

Oh, you want a new one?

Okay:

Scientists: Unsinkable

I wasn't aware the OP wanted to argue or discuss this stuff.

Do you know something I don't?

LOL sorry but thats a good one

Because the shape of their wings creates a difference in air pressure stong enough to overcome (survey says...) gravity!

Do you know which scientists made the "unsinkable" claim?

 

[AV1611VET]

LOL sorry but thats a good one

Thank you!

I get a good one in every now and then!

Was it the ones that worked at the White Star* Lines?

* A euphism for 'Satan'.

You have a real problem with engineers, don't you, AVET?? Too bad the O.P. asked about scientists.

 

[MoonLancer]

nope. for example Scientists develop ideas, like how one overcomes gravity using high and low pressure and foreword thrust. Its the Engineer who builds the device to put this idea into practice. Sometimes people are both but in today's specialized world its harder and harder to do both.

All this time Av has hated engineers not scientists. Its kindof funny if it weren't so ignorantly sad.

Aircraft in flight are not accelerating to the Earth at 9.8 meters per second squared. They are accelerating in quite another direction.

They are accelerating towards Earth. They're also accelerating up and in whatever direction they're travelling in. Any planes flight is a result of net acceleration. In other words, in order for a plane to fly (parallel to the ground) it needs to accelerate (towards space) at 9.8 mps/s. The net result of the same acceleration in two different directions is zero, which is how a plane maintains altitude.

A plane travelling in any direction is accelerating up, down, and forwards. The up and down cancel out, leaving just forwards (which I know is really a curve, just go with it).

What is the difference then, between a vector and a scalar?

 

[Catherineanne]

Phrenology. Lots of people fell for that one.

 

[AV1611VET]

Aristotle's explanation of earth, air, fire and water stunted the growth of science for 2000 years.

Aristotle's explanation of earth, air, fire and water stunted the growth of science for 2000 years.

His work overall had a net gain of growth for science, even if some aspects were wrong. It was the bible that stunted the growth of science.

 

[Tomatoman]

delete.

Was is past tense. Presently it's Darwin that is stunting the growth of science.

A vector shows both speed (or other magnitude) and direction, while a scaler only shows speed (or other magnitude)
