  1. So, in this case, speedometer=ladar?
  2. I thought it measured the RPM of the wheels and calculated the speed based on wheel size.
  3. I don't see any poll.
  4. You can't fool us.
  5. What are we going to do without the Mighty Dons of Science?
  6. So, what is this magnetic hole theory? Can you briefly explain it? Some possible experiments to test this theory would be nice as well.
  7. I don't think the voltage is high enough for any decent amount of hydrolysis. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged No.
  8. What, exactly, do you mean? Was that a racial comment? If so, sir, you are out of line!
  9. There's a little report triange in the corner of each post.
  10. Then why do we have working intelligent software based on the way we think it works?

    I hope it's not going to be touted as "peer review" by hordes of crackpots.

  13. I thought you were a giant lizard bent on destroying Tokyo.

    It can't be as bad as Conservapedia.
  15. That's what I was thinking. IIRC, it's more to do with the fact that photons are uncharged.
  16. Our brains work differently than CPUs. Computers are Turing machines, and the brain works in a fundamentally different manner than that of the Turing machine. We can, however, draw an analogy between consciousness and computer programming. Our minds are analogous to computer programming. we can look at computer programming from various levels. You can look it it from the low level of electrons moving about on wires. In the same manner, you can look at the brain as ion currents through neurons. At a higher level, you have logic gates in computers and neural hierarchies in the brain. Then you have higher level programming like python. The analog in the brain is an idea. Our actions, our choices, are all based upon our beliefs, our values, preconcieved notions, etc. It's algorithmic(albeit VERY complicated). All of these things come at the lowest level from deterministic physics(the brain is a classical system). Our consciousness comes from a thin covering of the "old brain" called the neocortex. It works hierarchically(with many more feedback connections than feedforward) to produce a working model of the world. Instead of creating trillions of files to save what every object looks like under every condition(that would be utterly ridiculous as the pattern on your retina is never the same) the cortical-thalamo-cortical loops use a time delay to form invariant auto-associative memories which are used recursively in hierarchical feedback loops to provide a model of our world. This is how our senses are cleaned up. For example, these auto-associative memories fill in our blind spot. This model is what we experience. Most of our experiences are what we expect to experience rather than what we actually experience. Consciousness is what it feels like to have a working neocortex(or analogous structure). The following is a great lecture by Jeff Hawkins on the topic. cCdbZqI1r7I
  17. Yes, you're correct. It's only anecdotal being me and every person from every command I've EVER been to. Not to mention the other commands on the bases(it may be hard to believe, but I *DO* have friends ). It's not systematic at all. </sarcasm> I guess you're going to say the bad food is anecdotal too? No, they just refuse to let you do your job and often separate you.
  18. Does your doctor dismiss nearly every issue as dehydration? Is the answer, according to your doctor, to everything a large dose of Motrine? Does your insurance provider have a well-deserved reputation for losing your entire medical record? Does your physical therapist make you buy a $200USD pair of shoes prior to ANY check(physical examination, MRI, anything)? You get what you pay for. If you want military grade healthcare, just come to me. I'll tell you what they will: drink water and take Motrine.
  19. You DON'T want the level of care that the military gets.
  20. Surely if a=b and b=c, then a=c by the transitive property.
  21. iirc, it's the symmetric property. If a=b, then b=a.

    Get on the interwebs and head on over to United Nuclear which was founded by Bob Lazar of all people.
