  1. Not sure it it's "biases". The OP talks of welding. Does that work with plywood?
  2. Assume a perfectly spherical fishtank...
  3. Can you explain why your translation is so different from the Google + Bing ones?
  4. "It's describing black holes Time, it says that there are things that is invisible, that runs and sweep" "It's describing black holes good servants, it says that there are things that is invisible, that runs and sweep" and so on. There's nothing here to debunk. More importantly, I don't speak or read Arabic but Google translate probably can and it says that فَلا أُقْسِمُ بالخُنَّسِ الجَوَارِ الكُنَّسِ means "I swear Balkhans neighboring synagogues" Bing tells me it means "So I swear balkhens around synagogues" and Babelfish says the same So I rather suspect that the OP is, at best, delusional.
  5. "Is mV used to measure muscle tension?" No.
  6. Am I the only one who finds sans serif fonts annoying? In any event, don't use comic sans.
  7. Yes, it's processed- but not by dyeing- they bleach it. The way they make cotton white is to remove yellow impurities from the white cellulose. They do that by oxidation.
  8. Cotton is white- it doesn't need a "white dye".
  9. Interesting, and also a good reason to check that you have a shortage before taking serious measures to increase your intake.
  10. You may be able to buy vitamin D over the counter at high concentrations as a rat poison. I'm not suggesting that as a source- just something to think about.
  11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_brightener It's unusual for a molecule as small as hypochlorite to produce an allergic reaction- it's not big enough to be recognised by the immune system. There are, of course, other hypersensitivity reactions- not least psychosomatic ones.
  12. If I read the NYT, will I find examples of academic institutions where the ideas of Capitalism are also "corrupted, abused or misapplied."?
  13. Perhaps, but it's not relevant.
  14. Well, OK Jesus is a real person in the sense that I met him in a pub in London about 20 years ago. (I didn't think to ask if he had a brother ) He was from Mexico and was born on the 25th of December . His parents thought it was a good name. However the one who was born in a stable 2000 years ago, turned water into wine + came back to life after a crucifixion was no more real than Harry Potter. But once you ask a question that it's impossible to answer because the question is too poorly defined then the only valid answer is still "We don't know"
  15. There are different levels of probability. And it's only when we get to really quite high probabilities that we talk about "knowing". I don't "know" what's on the menu in the canteen at work tomorrow- but I do ""know" that it will include chips. Since this thread has offered nothing like that level of probability, we don't "know" the answer. We almost certainly never will (Unless someone unearths a whole stack of ancient literature). So the answer to the question which forms the title of this thread is "we don't know" and that's not going to change- even if it rattles on for another 36 pages.
  16. TLDR How does it differ from "we don't know". (Here's a hint- if we do know, then you can tell me the answer and if you can't tell me the answer it's because we don't know.)
  17. OK, thanks for clarifying that you don't realise that "we cannot be 100% sure." means the same as "we don't know" Were those Historical reports contemporary? If not they don't count as valid evidence (and it's more like evidence in law than evidence in physics). And, of course, if it's plausible that they are forged then, we are back to "we don't know". Had you not realised that? It's no wonder this has gone on for 36 pages if people can't recognise that they don't know the answer.
  18. 36 pages in, surely we are forced to conclude that the answer must be either "we don't know" or "no". If there was valid historical evidence someone would have cited it by now. This thread is going nowhere.
  19. "Normal cognition"b should be the reason why you don't need legislation to get people to wear seat belts.
  20. There are many. A common one is "fraudulent"
  21. Apparently not, or the guy wouldn't have sad what he did.
  22. Wash the bleach away before wearing.
  23. What's wrong with ordinary bleach?
  24. If everyone does it, is it a crime?
