The first instance of heliacal rising and celestial grids
insane_alien replied to gentleman-farmer's topic in Speculations
you certainly don't anyway. anyway, your link says the corn was emmer (wheat). so.... you know. actually read up on this stuff. -
The first instance of heliacal rising and celestial grids
insane_alien replied to gentleman-farmer's topic in Speculations
you do realise that the corn could be harvested BEFORE the floodwaters came (when to harvest was THE reason our ancestors started watching the skies) and then, get this for a radical idea, WAIT until the floods have passed before planting the new crop on the rich, fertile deposits of silt left behind. you know, like the history books record from ancient egyptian writings. i don't know why you called the annual flood a myth because the evidence is clearly there if you go to the nile and dig. or you know, ask anybody who lived near the nile before that ancient year of 1970 when it was stopped by the construction of the aswan dam EDIT: ahh john knew more than i did. ignore me, listen to him. -
parachute most-likely. its unmanned so it is essentially just an engine with a lifting-body shell and an autopilot.

quit your trolling.

you are an idiot.

what about things that are neither planet nor blackhole? also, planets do not expand, any change in size requires external material to be added. you're understanding of basic cosmology seems to be flawed and you assignations arbitrary. you have also never explained why you think zero is a duality. zero is a single value.

just because you see a similarity doesn't mean that everyone else can or that there even is a similarity. you need to learn how to communicate.

appart from being as precise and consistant as possible the answer is repetition, repetition, repetition. followed by a good statistical analysis of the raw results. also, limit the number of variables you deal with. if you're not sure some factor is a variable, assume it is and keep it fixed. make sure that the only variable that can vary is the one you want to vary.

thats not how it works.

gentleman-farmer, you need to learn the difference between actual data and interpretation. badly. -
what about lying to cover up a surprise for someone? surely it would be more moral to avoid telling someone you were throwing them a surprise party(obviously until the point of the surprise party) so that they'd get greater enjoyment out of it. i'm a pure moral relativist. ANY action can be the moral choice but the circumstances under which a choice becomes the moral one may be extremely limited.

yeah, we know you're trolling. no point keeping it up.

you're obviously not familiar with these biscuits http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penguin_%28biscuit%29 they have a 'joke' on the wrapper of a quality not dissimilar to christmas cracker jokes. except they reference penguins.

mississippichem, he's trolling. best not to feed him unless you enjoy exercises in futility.

because it takes energy to synthesise them. so as we got plenty of these from food, over time the synthesis pathways got selected out of the species.

really, quit your trolling. you're not fooling anyone. -

oh ffs now you're just trolling. -

insane_alien replied to Klaplunk's topic in Mathematics
that was nowhere close to being an explanation. please, explain it properly. -

you still haven't told us how 0 is a duality. -
The catamaran tank - an MRAP which doesn't roll over!
insane_alien replied to Peter Dow's topic in Engineering
and you'd also have the middle section subjected to increased blast damage due to shockwave focusing, the very thing the V hull is designed to counteract. and then there's the mobility issue. a wider vehicle can't go down narrow streets etc. put simply the MRAP is, like all designs, a compromise to meet specific design criteria. -

I don't understand Zero or Negative Numbers - Teach Me the Basics
insane_alien replied to Klaplunk's topic in Mathematics
well, why don't you agree with the rules of mathematics then? or more specifically, why don't you agree that a negative times a negative is a positive? is it because it's counter-intuitive to you? -
the magnesium is part of it. seeing as the equation doesn't balance for one. like i said, explicitly define every term in there. and i still don't have a good understanding of what you're trying to do. explain it more.

insane_alien replied to Klaplunk's topic in Mathematics
sweet bejebus have you not read the links posted that offer explicit mathematical proofs that -1 squared is 1? if its anything else then lots of other things break and you can let any number equal any other number. you never answered the duality question.
