Tres Juicy

Ok... Not really what I meant. I wanted proof of this: "Electrons fired at a 2 slits form a orderly spectrum but the minuet you physically view this happening they scatter. The reason this happens is the brain creates a electromagnetic pulse" You're saying that the reason is human thought, this would be observable yet I have never heard mention of it. The site you've linked to seems a bit psuedo too.....

"just like the experiment with Electrons fired at a 2 slits form a orderly spectrum but the minuet you physically view this happening they scatter. The reason this happens is the brain creates a electromagnetic pulse when a thought is manifested it is the interaction of this energy field that the brain creates that interacts with the electrons behaviour thus causing them to scatter." Can you provide a reference for this? It doesn't sound right to me It would also be quite easy to test

Absolute zero is absolute, you can't go below it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_zero Temperature is a measure of movement/vibration/spin of atoms Once their not moving at all that's absolute zero You cant make them move less than not at all. "I was wondering if neutrinos past through without bending. And/or protons and/or quarks." Good question, one i can't answer I'm afraid... I'll wait until someone else does and mooch off of their knowledge

Could this explain the expansion of the universe?

Especially if there is a glass ceiling at 70 miles Plus, how do explain seasons? How do explain volcanic activity if we don't have a core? Not to mention the magnetic poles... What's outside the ball? How thick is the supposed wall? Could we dig our way out of the universe? If the ball is spinning to keep us stuck to the wall, the closer you got the poles the less the effect. You'd feel yourself spinning and fall down/up (if gravity works in this scenario). Man, I wish I could Wise up...

Ahhh Welcome back!! Please advise the unwise tardo's that post here as to how such a system could work I have some immediate problems with it, I will address the main ones.... 1) Wouldn't we see the curvature of the earth in the distance going up into the sky? 2) How does gravity work if you're inside a ball? Is it like a fairground ride that spins to "stick" you to the wall? 3) How big would the ball have to be so that when I look up through a powerful telescope I see space instead of the other side of the interior wall of the ball? 4) How does my sat nav work???? Since everything it's based on is wrong it should fail horribly 5) Since the website that you're linking to is a creationist site, why would a god create such a weird system? surely being on the outside of a ball is easier all round? (no pun) 6) Do you really believe this? Really? If so please explain why, in your view, this explains the obsevable universe better than current empirical evidence These are just a few, but its a good start

You've got to love the phrase "unwise tardo's" Thats going into my personal vernacular straight away!

Just a matter of time.... For the record; I am joking here and not really horribly corrupt/evil

I love the fact that he tried to elevate himself to a kind of god-like status - he was like a Bond villain, you just don't get that kind of crazy everyday - Have you listened to the lyrics of the song? The guy cut the entire nation off from the rest of the world and fed them tall tales of how amazing he was, that takes a special kind of crazy True, but they'll never again have a leader who invents the hamburger or plays golf better than Tiger Woods...

Hi all, "There are hints of higher functioning. Like speed reading, photographic memory, high meditation states, 'savant' abilities" If this were the case surely remote tribes would all be savants? Some of the really remote tribes are not far off the way of life/diet from 30,000 years ago and their brains are the same as ours. How would you explain this? "Also, people who have a lower level of intelligence don't die out in today's society." Replace "also" with "alas"

Just for once it would be nice if one of these threads were just put out there to test the posters abillty to debate something that is clearly wrong and were done in good humor. I enjoy those from either side of the argument. Instead of just stating "this is how it is, you people are idiots" and then leaving...

Power definitely corrupts - I'd be a right evil bastard if I could get away with it

He was mental.... http://listverse.com...ut-kim-jong-il/ The song is brilliant! In a way, I'm going to miss that crazy guy...

Lets do it! Where is the island? (can I come with you on your speedboat?) I'll pack a bag..... Its 2012 nearly and we're still running a system thats centuries old and not designed for the type of world we now live in Something needs to change

Wow, this from someone who asserts that we live inside a giant ball? How would a system like that even work? Terrible idea for a universe... Edit: I've just read through the stuff on the website, just another creationist site full of mental "evidence" that everything observable is wrong

Or, the most obvious: 1) why toast always lands buttered side down 2) why I put a pair of socks in the wash and only get 1 sock back... The whole place needs debugging

"The idea that others are getting more for less will almost always make its way into our psyche and ruin things for all." Tasks could be rotated so that everybody gets a go at every job (within reason - obviously things like "have-a-go brain surgery Tuesday" are a bad idea). "How much work do you have to do in order to get x number of y products delivered to you?" Everyone gets the same "value" of stuff - there needs to be a value assigned to your contribution to society that is fair "I want a speedboat and a new car and a really good laptop, all the best made quality." Grow up Phi, of course you can't have a speedboat! Everyone gets a car (generic model) and a laptop and everything else they need to be productive in society. With the now much increased labour force, why shouldn't they? "I'm not a super-picky person though" Good, you won't miss the speedboat too much then... "I know there will be some who disagree with this and would always call for more variety." There would have to be some variety to accomodate peoples needs (sizes and things) "There would be a tremendous amount of desire for everything to begin with, since so many have lived without so much for so long." Once you get past the initial rush, you can start to just maintain and improve peoples quality of life "Eventually, you'd probably end up with a Tragedy of the Commons scenario, where people would misuse this ability to get whatever limited resource product or service that's offered." Things would need to be carefully managed, but after a while it should settle into a decent workable system (?)

How would you even get to nothing? Even if you could create a perfect vacuum with nothing but space inside it, how do you then go about removing the space?!

http://www.newscient...mpty-space.html Some interesting stuff here

Smells like homework to me...

Another good point - although the examples you've mentioned could be attributed to determinism "My aparent free will has been moulded" If free will is an illusion - but the illusion is perfect - is it still free will? It will still feel like free will

Revolution?! Not only that, with a scientific approach taken to changing a scociety (rather than economics and capitolism, which are quite short sighted and are already showing signs of failing), You'd think we could sort this whole mess out in a few decades

I'd be willing to bet that there's something there

Imagine Davinchi, Newton and Einstein still here today
