Thank you Blike. This is a fun one for someone who hasn't calculated sines and cosines for ages. Just aman

It would be a lot harder to pull Venus up into an Earth orbit than bring Mars down. The energy being drained off Mars as it is slowed could power the terraforming. The problem is efficiently draining off the planets inertia and transforming it into usable power. It would be convenient if Mars was a little closer. Just aman

Cern uses an incredible amount of energy to race protons near the speed of light. They collide them with a metal barrier and capture a few anti-protons on the other side made after lucky collisions with neutrons. There has to be a more economical way of creating anti-matter. I can't imagine a more ineffiient return for the energy consumed We use a hydrogen bomb to build a firecracker. I read there is supposedly a cloud of anti-matter to the north and south of galactic center in the Milky Way. Maybe just fly there with some big containment jugs. Just aman

I vote for Sayonara, and Blike, and Faf. And anybody else who wants the job. I want it but I'm too old and can't be around consistant. I just like being around. I guess that doesn't help much but that's my job.:zzz: :zzz: :zzz: Anybody new got a handle on psuedoscience? Just aman

Just bring back some irrefutable evidence and have the experience repeatable and I might jump on the bandwagon. Just aman

Is this a statistical avg. ans.? I never was good at statistics and since I like Las Vegas, I guess I don't believe in them. Just aman

OK, maybe the drunks boat still has an anchor in his conscience but no keel so it's hard to navigate back over the anchor. Dizziness is losing contact with the anchor for a short time and usually results in out of body and into toilet if your lucky. Still if I close my eyes I can get up and navigate to the other side of the house. If the lady was describing how she was over there with the voice coming from the body that's here then she's here.

Real is what is supported by the most evidence at the moment. The way science works, real can go in all sorts of directions until further investigation narrows the possibilities. For example: The Ice Man. At first discovery he was treated as a recent casualty. Then observers noted the ancient clothing and weapons. Now he was an old hunter. After measurements showed he was 5000 years old and had his copper axe and bow it was persued that he was a high sacrifice. Grains and grasses in his stomach had some postulating that he was a vegetarian. Later an arrow in his left shoulder had some saying he was chased out of his villiage. The latest says through DNA tests on his stomach contents that he had a meal of Ibyx or wild goat and later a meal of vennison or deer meat. This suggests that he was a good hunter. Hunters shoot for near the left shoulder blade for quick kills so he may have been killed by a different tribes hunter. This is a long ways from the starting presumption of a frozen recent wanderer. Real just gets more real with information. Just aman

A drunk with his eyes closed can't even point to his nose. He thinks it's over there. This is a small example of losing our center but not quite out of our bodies. I wonder what effect this would have on a blind person. They rely heavily on this internal anchor. Can a blind person tell if he's been astral projected to somewhere else? Just aman

I put the word out wen I can. I'm around except when my health goes sour. Hospital crap. The college students should be finding this the greatest forum. If they know about it. Just aman

I agree that since it took months of research to learn how to drill a hole that this will go on forever. They could equip the robot with a cutting tool and cut around the edges of the door, push it in and drive over it intact. Makes sense to me. It's too slow. Our group here should have bid on the contract. Just aman

That's too good of a question and I sat here till my head smoked. I liked your examples but I believe there is some better answer. Just can't think of it at the moment. Just aman

None of Zarkovs ley lines seem to cross places near me. I guess that's why my locality is crop circle deprived. I'd like to go visit one. I still haven't done any research on the chemical changes I've heard stories of. Anybody got something to add? Just aman

I bet some farmers dogs saw what happened on the smaller farms but here in Nebraska it's hard to keep track of what's going on over the hill or beyond the windbreak. Just aman

I read it was supposed to take at least a month to coordinate all the date and crunch it. Just aman

I read the article about China. Thanks. Have to keep an eye on it. Just aman

I'm not suprised there is a mathematical order to the universe. You point out another and they are not coincidences. They are very complicated and the amazing thing is that we can see them. The universe isn't built by chaos. Just aman

I like superstring theory cus it tastes like chicken. It has problems that get more difficult the deeper we probe into the microcosom. It asks us to accept quite of a lot of unprovovable and unverifiable presumptions only on the basis they make the whole idea work. It is good to explore with our imagination but I think in the end it will prove to be a wild goose chase, and if you cook a goose wrong, it tastes like chicken. Just aman

Once we weed out the obvious or clever hoaxers there might be enough true data. If we put all the measurements in a super computer with the proper software to look for the consistancies of what it sees in the data compared to data we have through astronomical measurements we might find some correlation. We have some new telescopes on line that are now mapping star systems better by magnitudes than ever before. Our data has to be up to snuff in order to find a correlation. We're getting there. You have some fascinating ideas for discussion. Thanks Just aman

My wife is matter. I shop when I am hungry and bring home all sorts of extra crap. Now I'm anti-matter. When I get home there is a big release of energy. One of the interesting things about nature is there are so many analogies in our existance. It's like we get clues as to how the complicated stuff works. The structure of the universe has written a book on its structure for dummies. That's how we climb each step. Strike to stones and get a spark. Compress the mass of plutonium and get an explosion. Our existance seems to have been written down in simple things as clues the entirety. Makes it all a piece of cake.:slaphead: Just aman

It seems to me culture in the past sometimes encouraged science and respected the discoveries, but those were times of freedom of religion and tolerance to a degree. Times of cultures with restrictive religion were the worst times for scientific growth. I'd say cultures with religious tolerance are the key to scientific advancement. Just aman

There needs to be a compromise gene. We have the problem of two dominants fighting, a dominant controlling a submissive with one being less and one being more, and two submissives being failures. The marriages that would work need compromise. Is there a compromise gene? Just aman

I'm looking forward to the Monday, 9/16 TV broadcast of the pyramid research. I,ll look for it in the TV guide. I'd like more info on the Chinese research when you get it. Thanks Zarkov Just aman

We just recently spotted the second far Earth orbiting object in our history and it would be easy to believe there are many more. If one was ET and Earth based life wanted to communicate up then crop circles would do. Just aman

There are general constants in chemistry and biology since they don't deal with the macro or microcosom on the whole. We depend on constants. My wife is a constant and mostly favorable. In a month we should have initial data on the speed of gravity. It may turn out to be a variable constant. It's all getting very complicated. Just aman
