Why is there a growing movement to deny reality in America?
Bufofrog replied to CmdrShepSpectre2183's topic in Politics
I think the biggest change is the internet. 20 years ago if you said the earth was flat your friends and family would laugh and say, "no that's not right" and you would find no one to agree with you. Now you can go on the internet and find hundreds or thousands of people who will agree with whatever batshit crazy idea you have. -
Well that's a relief.🙂

Why bother with life when everything you do will get stolen anyway?
Bufofrog replied to inbreeding's topic in The Lounge
I think that statement is about 180 degrees out of whack. -
Define what you mean be 'slag'. Is cooled lava 'slag'? Is granite slag? Is basalt slag?

Show me the evidence that inbreeding between species is wrong?
Bufofrog replied to inbreeding's topic in Genetics
Why would a large population imply inbreeding? That makes no logical sense. -
Understanding Evolution

Just out of curiosity, what is that supposed to mean? -
Understanding Evolution
Bufofrog replied to craigtempe's topic in Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology
The basics of evolution are really quite simple. In Darwin's time it was not even known that DNA existed and the age of the earth was thought to be no more than 400 million years old and the basics of evolution were discovered by him. The basics are that the fittest (best adapted to their current environment) animals survive and reproduce. Variations in a species means the variation that is best adapted will reproduce, favoring that variation in future populations. -
Proper distance or proper length is the distance you measure in your own frame. In your frame your meter stick is not moving hence it is the proper length. Any other frame will see your meter stick as length contracted.

I am not aware of a gravity field having a wavelength, what do you mean by that statement? All gravity fields are naturally occurring....

COVID-19 antivirals and vaccines (Megathread)
Bufofrog replied to Alex_Krycek's topic in Microbiology and Immunology
The other vaccines have been administered to many millions and been shown to be safe and effective, while ivermectin has only one outlier study that showed it helped. It is unethical to give a drug that has not been shown to have any positive effects except in one of the many studies underway. Perhaps you should read some of the literature about this study in other publications, like this Nature article. Nature -
COVID-19 antivirals and vaccines (Megathread)
Bufofrog replied to Alex_Krycek's topic in Microbiology and Immunology
Instead of taking a drug based on a single study, I would think a better option is to get a vaccine that has been fully approved by the FDA. Seems a no brainer to me. That reminds me, it is time to worm my horses... -
Well that clearly is wrong since there is only one maximum temperature. So there are 2 options you made a mistake or ABC made a mistake. You seem to be saying there are some sort of nefarious 'goings on' with this reporting. It appears to me that you have made the mistake and there is no conspiracy to hide 'The Truth'.

What are you talking about? It was 10.2 on Monday and 11.5 on Tuesday. Where were 9 hours omitted?

What do you mean you struggled? Have you tried and the expert said it is not a meteor? You can contact the geology department at a college near you and let them know you have a suspected meteorite fragment and would like them to look at it, I'm sure they would be happy to see it. Don't tell them you think there are fossils in it or they may think you are a crank and will not be interested.

Special theory of relativity and Reciprocity principle
Bufofrog replied to SUNILKUMAR K G's topic in Speculations
Not a very good first post. Is there something you wanted to discuss? -
Relativity with regard to CMBR and galaxy types
Bufofrog replied to MarkE's topic in Astronomy and Cosmology
The graph looks wrong to me. The blue line seems to indicate a situation where as time goes on the size of the universe is constant. The gray lines above the blue line indicate a universe where space is expanding as time goes on and the gray lines below show a universe that is shrinking over time. So our universe is one of the upper gray lines. -
Sudden appearance of small blue dots in my vision
Bufofrog replied to Lara's topic in Anatomy, Physiology and Neuroscience
Migraines do not always involve headache pain. If you don't trust your doctor you should get another doctor. -
You were also supplied the thickness of the wall and the thermal conductivity of the wall which seems to indicate that there is a time component in the question, or this is superfluous information. Could you supply a screen shot of the actual problem?
