• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It's a mathematical shape created by knocking over stalks of grain. It's not inexplicable physics.

I think scientists have found more to them than just mathematical shapes and stalks of grain knocked to the ground ... don't you?

Some of the shapes aren't mathematical, so what.

Wow.

Here you go:

A small number of scientists (physicist Eltjo Haselhoff, the late biophysicist William Levengood) have found differences between the crops inside the circles and outside them, citing this as evidence they were not man-made.

I am aware of the "circle nutters" and their "blown joint" claims, etc. It's all a matter of wishful thinking. Wishing things were there that aren't.

What do you think?

I think the majority of academia live in a teensy-weensy primeval atom called "the physical universe."

If they can't see it, feel it, touch it, smell it, hear it, or quantify it, it doesn't exist.

And anyone who says otherwise -- even their own -- become targets of name-calling and ridicule.

Yes.

Your post demonstrates that you're willing to ridicule your own people to save face; and keep Astrophile's legitimate question from being properly answered.

But, hey.

If you're willing to thrown Eltjo Haselhoff under the bus to keep me from legitimately answering a good question, then so be it.

The primordial atom is an antiquated and out dated concept.

Sounds like a plan. Measure it or else.

Yes.

Crop circles don't require exotic physics, just a plan, some ropes, and a device to stomp down stalks. It's still impressive design and subterfuge, but it's not exotic.

I looked him up after reading this post as I'd never heard of him. I have no problem underbussing him. None what so ever. I assume he's a better guitar player than I (FGP is apparently for "fine guitar player"), but he's lost the plot on physics if he's chasing "weird physics" in crop circles.

^_^ -- I know you better than this, Hans.

Show me your research skills and get the right person. ;)

His "researchgate" profile reads:

Eltjo Haselhoff

Independent Artist & Researcher​

MSc, PhD, FGP

Guitar playing, physics research & mobile app development

and then details publications including on "crop circles".

I asked you a question, or rather two questions.

The first is, are you inferring that the origin of the universe in the 'Big Bang' 13.8 billion years ago requires its creation by a sentient being of unknown nature, and nothing more than that?

The second is, are you saying that science proves that the creation story in Genesis 1 is true?
I didn't intend to have a Theological discussion. That is why I posted this thread in the Science forum.

What do you infer created the universe?

Impressive credentials, don't you think?

Would you add "circle nutter" to them, as Hans did?

Seems like those links show what I was saying...

(In case you can't tell, "circle nutters" was the term I used for the people who "investigate" circles for weird physics and paranormal activity and didn't find "Doug and Dave".)

It was a perfectly fine, but dead, thread with an unanswered promise to provide evidence of things that physics can't explain and someone proposes something explainable by simple crop mechanics. Call an Ag. Engineer who builds harvesters.
