    An interesting night of facepalming

    July 19, 1988 My experience with chiropractic care is it isn't at the level of medical science. There is a lot of pseudoscience involved, I remember one chiropractor tried to sell us crystals which were supposed to help balance our shakras or something. Also some of them they have this dubious...

    An interesting night of facepalming

    If you weren't lying about your birthday, we have the same birthday! I performed an experiment and wrote to James Randi about it. He agreed with my findings and referred to his atlas. I went to some Chiropractors, when they had free assessments. I would come in saying part of my back hurt...

    Changing beliefs

    Maybe dogma has a purpose, suppose someone believed that it was dogma to believe in the laws of thermodynamics and set out to make a perpetual motion machine for the rest of his life. So science does require at least a bit of faith, because if you question something, and refuse to believe it...

    Changing beliefs

    If god opened up the skies and proved he existed, I would still be more inclined to think I had gone insane.

    Changing beliefs

    Have you ever believed something and had your mind changed by evidence? If so what? If you have beliefs what evidence could theoretically be given to change your mind?

    16% of threads on the first page are silly threads about percents

    The error was when you wrote the last part when you wrote "2 = 1" 2a^2 - 2ab = a^2 - ab is like saying 0=0 2(a^2 - ab) = 1(a^2 - ab) "2*0 = 1*0" then divide the zeros. Oh wait you can't do that, it doesn't tell you anything. When you divide both terms you better make sure that you are not...

    Darwin couldn't have discovered Evolution, unless it was already irreducibly complex

    What about complexity implies design? There is no sense in arguing pseudoscientific claims, if scientists say they have strong reason to believe the earth is not as old as the biblical account. Then creationists retort that the earth was made 6000 years ago with the appearance of being billions...

    The Church of Science.

    All science is to me. An application of the scientific method. The scientific method is basically, you make a guess as to how the universe behaves. You compute how it will work under a given circumstance. you do the experiment. If the model disagrees with experiment it's WRONG. When a model...

    Space and Time

    It is movement. If a motion could be fundamentally random and other motions random to each other. What we mean by time is that we can know that the sun will be at its highest when the clock is at its highest between 12:00PM - 1:00 depending upon whether you are in daylight savings time, and...

    Space and Time

    What I was saying was that you can't understand random motion in a way that would let you make prediction in terms of other clocks. that means it is not operating within time. you just come up with a new term like 'speed' or 'velocity', and you define that in terms of scalar distance/time...

    Do scientists believe in unicorns?

    I thought there was going to be some article about a newly discovered horned horse. So disappointing.

    Space and Time

    I would say change would be literally impossible without time, because time, especially how we observe it, is an expression of change. What do you really mean by time? If you say that time is change, I would have to disagree with you, and say that is incorrect. What we mean by time, is things...

    The Church of Science.

    If you believe that I am attacking science, then I wont argue with you I can only tell you about my story. I was debating my brother and I realized he was arguing stuff that he didn't really know. I know he doesn't study science or math, and that the only way he knew this stuff was on...

    Can you create a clock based on the motion of a single electron?

    Space and Time

    I wasn't saying that relating one motion to another would be easy, You might have to do a few Lorentz transformations, or compensate for gravitational wells, If you are clever most motions can be made to be understandable in terms of other motions. I was saying take the supposition that you...
