Smartphones, or any phone with good video, storage and bandwidth to send video didn't exist back in 1995, so my point holds - a decision made when cellphone cameras were not ubiquitous might be ignored by the court, especially if the court is hell-bent on changing the rules. Furthermore, Fordyce wasn't charged with interfering with police, so I have to wonder if it would even be considered relevant.

I don’t see the relevance. I didn’t claim that anything was eradicated. I didn’t claim that all modern medicine is new knowledge, only that some of it is. Can we dispense with the straw man now?

Perhaps it's because I said no such thing. The only people to mention ruble/rubles in this thread before now are you, iNow and The Vat (assuming the search function is to be trusted)

It sort of coincided with the industrial revolution. Which predates Dalton, so I don't know that there were chemical formulas to burn. But I'm pretty sure that they didn't know about e.g. mRNA, so some vaccines we have today are definitely not some re-imagination of a folk cure for COVID.

and the connection to my post is...what?

Which is not the point. Nobody has claimed otherwise. There have been breakthrough drugs/treatments that are not distillations of remedies that existed before modern medicine.

There are a lot of treatments that are not based on traditional medicine.

It probably is used less, though. If you get sick, some people will use modern medicine if such treatment is available to them, which means they are not using "traditional" medicine. The ones who partake of modern medicine will try other approaches if the original treatment fails.

Russia has engaged before, so their targets don’t seem to think so. Is there a shortage of planes? They won’t do any good if there are no pilots to fly them. It’s not like you can train up a pilot quickly, compared to getting someone basic skills in shooting a weapon.

So according to your conjecture a clock that constructed on earth will not experience time dilation when launched into space?

After they shot missiles at the US consulate?

The connection with Ukraine is…?

I think part of the story is that there’s no patent protection for existing treatments, unless you can isolate some unique compound. So no incentive to go through the expense of clinical trials. You can sell it as a supplement but it’s a bit like selling a generic after patents expire.

! Moderator Note Not the preferred nomenclature. It would be best not to cross this line again.

And you’re missing the point. You won’t be able to easily find documentation from the 21st century of people saying Elvis didn’t exist, even if people claimed it.

And you’re better off pointing to evidence that exists than trying to prove a negative.

Too many of them are invested in fossil fuels to pass the appropriate legislation.

So not much different than asking a random person on the street. No, not so much. There are very few scientists in the relevant field who are saying it's not anthropogenic. You increase those numbers slightly when you get to other fields of science, but you have to be careful about the ones who have been paid for their denial. It's a false balance, such as you are using here, that is advanced by some of the bad actors in the conversation. And, frankly, I would expect a retired physicist to be taking a more critical view of the issue than talking to an explorer and settling for "he said, she said" reporting.

The deepest we've ever drilled is about 12 km, and you need to go about 2900 km to get to the outer core. As you and Phi point out, you don't have to do that to tap into geothermal energy.

1. As far as we know how far is that 2. Paperwork? Paper didn't exist at that time. The literacy rate was what, 15%? Would the average person have been aware? How much documentation exists about any action from that era?

Because some judges have been bought and paid for and aren't qualified to hold their positions, so if this is part of their agenda, they may make a decision that's not based strictly on constitutional grounds. Or maybe they are just a little off-kilter. Judges have weaknesses and biases, even though they are supposed to set them aside as best they can. Legal experts also have a much more comprehensive knowledge of the system that lay persons that discuss topics online, and there might be sufficient basis for such decisions, even if they don't sit well with us. For instance, a judge might decide that earlier decisions were made in a time when cameras were not ubiquitous, and that the current situation might end up with multiple people trying to film the police might actually cause interference. A hard limit is not open to interpretation that could be more easily abused. As for police tape, that's not always deployed, nor is it practical to do so in all cases. And I suspect that many cases that draw the attention of cameras are ones where tape would not have been deployed, because things are escalating quickly. It would be a great help if you would use the quote function.

It's always a bit frustrating to be tagged a "nobody" I think perhaps you are just not paying sufficient attention. What expertise does this person have that they might render a scientific assessment?
