—– Nature and other peer-review journals would send letters like this: Dear Dr. Einstein: Thank you for your submission. However, as you well know, the scientific consensus maintains that light propagates through the medium of luminiferous aether. These real-world measurements of sunlight are irrelevant; when the data is entered into the computer programs which we wrote, …

Question for Infanticide-Enablers
I understand that this is going to be a bit sciency-technical for people who think that killing a baby is something that “a woman does to her own body”. So, I’m going to try not to delve too deeply into things like, you know, EMBRYOLOGY. But quick question: How do you explain chicken eggs being …
Question
If Bruce Jenner had come forward as having anorexia nervosa, rather than gender dysphoria, would everyone be celebrating his bravery in taking weight-loss drugs and having liposuction surgery?

But at least he’s trying to make physics popular! I’m not sure what constant temperature (T) x The Glaisher-Kinkelin constant (A) x the equilibrium constant (K) x (3N) has to do …
Why I Don’t Support Ron Paul
Some people wonder why, if I am supporter of more-limited government, I never supported Ron Paul. The short answer: his foreign policy is bunch of conspiracy-theory inspired COO-COO. Here’s Dr. Paul in 2008. There had just been an incident in which small Iranian boats threatened to blow up US Navy warships, and then started dropping …

Well, here’s something that I just discovered. I must say that I disagree with a significant portion of their “Statement of Faith”, but I absolutely support their work. Better science and better politics!
Conversations with Atheists 2
Paraphrased for brevity and clarity: —– Her: You don’t need god (sic) to explain creation. Multiple universes explains exactly how our universe came to be. Me: Even if it were a valid hypothesis, which it isn’t, MUT only pushes First Cause back one step. It doesn’t eliminate the logical necessity. Her: It’s more valid that …
