  1. "He sends on his mobile the 20 digit number to the special number" More than 70% of the world’s population have never heard a dial tone. Many , if not most counterfeit drugs are sold in places where mobile phones are a bit thin on the ground. Also, Anything you can print, I can copy.
  2. "The church is the body of Christ " I'm not swallowing that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacramental_bread "The term Pleroma represents the totality of God's powers which we call the Aeons. Its very clear and precise. That's how the term should be understood." So, based on the experimental evidence, it is equivalent to this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_set It would have been much easier if someone had said that in the first place.
  3. Then find a better paper. Even this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold#Toxicity is probably an improvement.
  4. This is a grandiose thread for someone who doesn't actually understand QM as witnessed by the mistake in the first post here http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/69003-the-second-black-body-problem/
  5. Not my field, but I think a sketch would help.
  6. "There is no ambiguity in what the term pleroma means, pleroma means the totality of divine powers (Aeons) which make up the body of Christ. Is that clear to you? " No. The body of Christ was mainly water, some proteins and fats some salts and quite a lot of calcium phosphate as the skeleton.
  7. "The thought never seems to flit past the window of your mind that there is something that you do not know, that there may be whole fields of study that you are not aware of." Once again, it seems that way to you, but not me. I know there are plenty of things I don't know. But that doesn't stop me pointing out that People are not green and, since they use ATP there's no link between being green and ATP. Chlorophyll doesn't do anything much with green light (though it does absorb red light quite strongly. There are well documented mechanisms for the synthesis and use of ATP in the cells. It doesn't stop me pointing out that you were totally wrong about them. "but I assure you that people on this forum are perfectly capable of judging your character for themselves" "We are not to engage in name-calling debates" How fortunate then, that I didn't call you any names. If you want to get back to talking about why the moon changes apparent colour then perhaps you should do so in the original thread. It's the one where you made silly comments about black body radiation because you simply didn't understand it and where the last entry was from one of the mods telling you to stop using personal insults because you described someone's rebuttal of your ideas are "grunting". Here it is http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/69003-the-second-black-body-problem/page__st__20 "but I assure you that people on this forum are perfectly capable of judging your character for themselves" That goes both ways.
  8. There area gold based drugs that contain (complexed) gold ions If those didn't pass through cell membranes then they wouldn't work (unless the site of action was the cell membrane itself). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_salts#Medical_uses
  9. According to this http://ukpmc.ac.uk/articles/PMC544180 "Meroacid is defined in this review as the long α-alkyl chain of mycolic acid that is released as a meroaldehyde by pyrolytic cleavage and is oxidized by a separate reaction to the fatty acid " They seem to be pretty obscure.
  10. "You don't seem to have solved my 'white moon' riddle " It only seems that way to you. Why do you keep making strongly worded blanket statements that turn out to be nonsense? ("This statement is an erroneous conclusion by someone: The energy release by ATP in the body is not in the form of electromagnetic radiation. ATP is used in endothermic chemical reactions (reactions which take in heat rather than produce it) - ie it provides the energy for many cellular reactions and biosynthesis that otherwise could not take place. Elsewhere in the body the energy in glucose is used to recreate the energy rich ATP ready for when it is needed. " would be an example) Would it not be better to start of by accepting that you don't know a lot and ask, rather than make false statements that make you look silly?
  11. I think the law forbids gambling on events which have already taken place. The non-existence of the ether was proven a while back (1887) so nobody is really allowed to bet on this.
  12. Anyone taking bets?
  13. What a drag.
  14. " they have no working mechanism. " Yes they do. Here's a small part of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mechanism_of_Pyruvate_Carboxylase,_5-15-2010,_sswilson7.png Please stop talking nonsense. I already asked you to actually do some research and I'm asking you again. In the meantime, since "I'm not going to accede that that is right. It's the very statement which caused me to see that the Kinase part of the processes was misunderstood," is a total departure from anything like mainstream science you ought to only refer to it in posts in the speculations forum. Please don't clutter up the other fora with this moonshine.
  15. One possibility would be removal of HCl from the trike to make 1,1 dichloroethane, followed by polymerisation to PVDC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinylidene_chloride Probably a mixture of products.
  16. I never said it would be my answer.
  17. You need to learn to ride properly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvrRRwJVrSA
  18. Well, I guess that's progress, now all you need to do is remember that chemical reactions are reversible and do the research ( a few minutes with wiki) to see that biology uses the same pathways (in reverse) to use ATP that it uses to make it. Then you will realise that this "The energy release by ATP in the body is not in the form of electromagnetic radiation. ATP is used in endothermic chemical reactions (reactions which take in heat rather than produce it) - ie it provides the energy for many cellular reactions and biosynthesis that otherwise could not take place. Elsewhere in the body the energy in glucose is used to recreate the energy rich ATP ready for when it is needed. " is right.
  19. Do you understand that the patent office(s) doesn't care if the invention works? Patenting it still won't prove that the ether exists. On the other hand, it will cost you money. I rather doubt that a prototype will ever be made. If it's made, it won't work.
  20. In my experience as a kid, the combination of me and the bike stayed upright fairly well I stayed upright without the bike. The bike without me fell over (even if it was moving) I conclude (with no great surprise) that the answer to the question "What exactly causes a bicycle to stand upright?" is The Rider.
  21. Is that a way of saying "Too thick to realise that they are thick" in such a way that they don't realise you are saying they are thick because they are too thick to realise it?
  22. Is "I don't know and I have more sense than to make a fool of myself by guessing" a valid answer?
  23. "It's what the Chlorophyll 'sees' that the plant uses." Specifically, it 'sees' red light. That's why it's green. The green light you see reflected from plants is the light they are not using. They don't use green light.
  24. In the ordinary way of things on a science website, there's no way your mother could be right. However, after a few hash brownies and a case of "the munchies" she may have a point.
  25. " All the cellulose I have around me is white, almost the definition of white. " Obviously, yes, cellulose is white and, equally obviously, nobody said it wasn't. The fact remains that chlorophyll doesn't do anything with green light. So , when you said "It's pretty obvious that Chlorophyll has a scattering resonance in the Green part of our visual spectrum." you were talking bollocks. You now have two choices You can admit that you were talking nonsense, or you can try to pretend that you were not. I rather doubt that you will get away with bullshitting here so I think you should accept that your ideas are moonshine. "There are two processes here, transfer energy to ATP, get energy from ATP to do some kind of work. And it has to be done rather quickly because ATP is not very stable." Here's how the actual evidence (rather than talk of magic and rainbows) shows that it's done. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_phosphorylation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyruvate_kinase
