And still none of that rhetoric, proves or even hints at the unsupported claims in the OP.

A real cool customer he was! Saw Lainie in Sydney many years ago!

While I can understand what you mean, the statement is not accurate. The Earth existed long before life evolved via abiogenesis, and it will probably exist long after all life has become extinct. The Earth, solar system, galaxy, the universe does not really give a hoot about any life that just happened to evolve because conditions and enough time were suitable for that abiogenesis to take place.

Your perception is way off.....the Earth doesn't needs, it's the biological life that needs.

Not really....

No probs! Your excellent reply sums it up beautifully.

https://phys.org/news/2021-03-astronomers-image-magnetic-fields-edge.html Astronomers image magnetic fields at the edge of M87's black hole: The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, which produced the first-ever image of a black hole, has today revealed a new view of the massive object at the center of the Messier 87 (M87) galaxy: How it looks in polarized light. This is the first time astronomers have been able to measure polarization, a signature of magnetic fields, this close to the edge of a black hole. The observations are key to explaining how the M87 galaxy, located 55 million light-years away, is able to launch energetic jets from its core. "We are now seeing the next crucial piece of evidence to understand how magnetic fields behave around black holes, and how activity in this very compact region of space can drive powerful jets that extend far beyond the galaxy," says Monika Moscibrodzka, Coordinator of the EHT Polarimetry Working Group and Assistant Professor at Radboud University in the Netherlands. more at link..... research paper: https://www.eso.org/public/archives/releases/sciencepapers/eso2105/eso2105c.pdf ABSTRACT: We present the results from a full polarization study carried out with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) during the first Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) campaign, which was conducted in Apr 2017 in the λ3 mm and λ1.3 mm bands, in concert with the Global mm-VLBI Array (GMVA) and the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), respectively. We determine the polarization and Faraday properties of all VLBI targets, including Sgr A*, M87, and a dozen radioloud AGN, in the two bands at several epochs in a time window of ten days. We detect high linear polarization fractions (2–15%) and large rotation measures (RM > 103.3 − 105.5 rad m−2 ), confirming the trends of previous AGN studies at mm wavelengths. We find that blazars are more strongly polarized than other AGN in the sample, while exhibiting (on average) an order-of-magnitude lower RM values, consistent with the AGN viewing angle unification scheme. For Sgr A* we report a mean RM of (−4.2 ± 0.3) × 105 rad m−2 at 1.3 mm, consistent with measurements over the past decade, and, for the first time, a RM of (−2.1 ± 0.1) × 105 rad m−2 at 3 mm, suggesting that about half of the Faraday rotation at 1.3 mm may occur between the 3 mm photosphere and the 1.3 mm source. We also report the first unambiguous measurement of RM toward the M87 nucleus at mm wavelengths, which undergoes significant changes in magnitude and sign reversals on a one year time-scale, spanning the range from –1.2 to 0.3 × 105 rad m−2 at 3 mm and –4.1 to 1.5 × 105 rad m−2 at 1.3 mm. Given this time variability, we argue that, unlike the case of Sgr A*, the RM in M87 does not provide an accurate estimate of the mass accretion rate onto the black hole. We put forward a two-component model, comprised of a variable compact region and a static extended region, that can simultaneously explain the polarimetric properties observed by both the EHT (on horizon scales) and ALMA (which observes the combined emission from both components). These measurements provide critical constraints for the calibration, analysis, and interpretation of simultaneously obtained VLBI data with the EHT and GMVA

Sorry, you actually signal that this was going to be another "nothing argument" by the use of the word "proof" And in actual fact, I see it as about reliable as the claim from a bloke called Brandenburg and the following.... https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340952315_EVIDENCE_OF_A_MASSIVE_THERMONUCLEAR_EXPLOSIONS_ON_MARS_IN_THE_PAST_The_Cydonian_Hypothesis_and_Fermi's_Paradox https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/John_Brandenburg John E. Brandenburg is a plasma physicist who went somewhat off the rails in 2012 and started proclaiming that he saw clear evidence of a thermonuclear war on Mars in the distant past. This off-beat idea attracted the attention of woo-peddlars and gave a mighty boost to sales of his books—both the non-fiction books and the science fiction books that he wrote using the nom de plume Victor Norgarde. In his 2015 book, Brandenburg declared himself a devout Pentecostal Christian. Another out to sell his books, namely John Ackerman. And who could ever miss the paradox that you have created by using some pseudscientific nonsense, to support more speudoscientific nonsense.

Yeah, I think probably one or two participants in this thread, is trying to play the rest of us as suckers.

My searching and internet skills are only average, but I cannot in any reference, find any use or mention of the term "time counterdicing"

I sometimes look at my dogs with a sad face and moan lightly...(the two mini Dachs) they immediately both jump up and start licking and snuggling into me. They sense things we are only just becoming aware of. Let me get straight to the point. Some people should never be allowed to own an animal, particularly a dog. I remember an arsehole who lived in the next street from me, who had two pit bulls. He was next door to a park and often he would on seeing anyone walking their dog, let loose his two terriers and soo them onto the poor unsuspecting person and their dog. I called the police one time, as well as the RSPCA, and thankfully, he was charged and banned from owning dogs for 5 years. This was just after they literally mangled a poor little terrier one day and the owner of that dog testified with regards to the attack. I think he got of bloody lightly, and I told the little punk just that.

For someone with an ego as big as what you have, you seem to fail to understand what I'm getting at. You don't know me....I don't know you...you don't know anyone else on this forum presumably, and they don't know you...How do you know I won't do a runner? How do I know you won't do a runner? How do I know anything of your honesty? How do you know anything of my honesty? You getting my drift now? OK, now stop side stepping the issue with silly bravado talk, and answer the reasonable questions others have put to you.

Yeah, that's terribly sad news. There have been cases in Australia too that I recall. Which is why owners should be educated properly. And yes, despite all the positive accounts I could give regarding dogs and toddlers, they certainly [particularly with large breeds] be supervised around children.

OK, I'll bet a $1000 Aust. But who am I betting with? Someone on the internet, on a remote forum, who could be anyone or anything? And how are you going to pay me? Do you expect me to give my banking details to you? Are you really serious? Surely someone of your great intelligence and awareness [😉] can see the fruitlessness of your having a bet idea? Or is this simply another way to support your failing ego?

This is a science forum. Any hostility you have imagined, is simply others applying the proper scientific methodology and asking you for references and/or links to support your claims. And of course if you were really serious and fair dinkum, you wouldn't be trying to enlighten the world and scientific community on a remote science forum, that only members and observers that happen to tune in, can learn from. In essensce, it appears to me anyway [although I'm a nobody in the greater scheme of things] that you have an ego problem. If you were correct in any of your hypothetical claims, it would in time, [after running the gauntlet] be accepted. That's how science works. That's what any scientific theory needs to do.

Your rather canatkerous attiude and refusal to answer questions, casts much doubt on your honesty to adhere to the above rather silly childish bet.

😊 With children of course training and supervision of both is necessary. My Son grew up with both our Rotties and they both would love romping and rolling about the house. My sister when visiting with here children when they were toddlers was also apprehensive. The resultant visits though were an eye opener for her, as Rocky would lay beside her baby on a rug on the floor, and follow her everywhere as she crawled. As her kids grew older, they would also love romping about the house with Rocky. He was around 62kgm by the way, saw the sister's kids about once a month. The only time watchfullness and precautions were necessary was when they came over to our place, and the "boisterous" welcome Rocky would give her and the kids. At 62kgms and a kid at around 20kgms or so, jumping up when welcoming was a no no! Every now and then my wife would have her family and friends in the Fijian community over at our place [anywhere between 6 to a dozen people, sometimes more] As per Fijian tradition, all the furniture would be pushed aside and everyone would be sitting on Fijian mats, while someone mixed the yaqona (kava) Rocky would always give warning barks as they arrived and Fijians being Fijians and not really into dogs and such, were absolutely shit scared of him. I would wait until all had arrived and were sitting on the floor, and then I would let Rocky inside. The reaction/s was priceless! Rocky would approach each and everyone individually and give them all a lick until they recipricated and gave him a pat. Truelly priceless! He would then just lay down as we all went about drinking and chatting. While I have never had a cat, I do love all animals, and appreciate the love a cat can bring into any household. Once with a couple of mates and passing a warehouse, we noticed a Rottweiler dog acting obviously as security for the place. As with most animals I see, I was attracted and walked over the the iron fence. The dog came bounding over barking and showing its teeth and doing its job. I stood my ground as it got to the fence. Eventually it stopped barking, and I moved in closer. It was watching me cautiously and I continued up to the fence. My two mates at this time were telling me I was crazy! I showed him the back of my hand, just this side of the bars on the fence and it sniffed inquisitively. I put my hand inside the bars where if he wanted to, he could easily have bitten me. Instead he just stood there, and after a minute I was patting him and speaking calmly to him. My two mates thought I was mad. I have also approached the American Pit Bull on one occasion, which also has an undesired reputation in this country. Perhaaaps people who are thinking of getting certain breds of dogs, or any dog for that matter, need to get training first and then licensed. Extreme? I'm not sure, but I do know any dog if trained properly, and given plenty of TLC and treated as part of a family, will be a source of happimess and joy, as corny as that may sound. PS: Miniature Dachsunds make great bed warmers at night!

Nothing like self confidence, supported by posting in the wrong section! With evidence, hard or otherwise, you only have an hypothesis. The following is a more accurate account on why ice ages occur.....this is science. https://culter.colorado.edu/~saelias/glacier.html#:~:text=What causes ice-ages%3F,of the glacial%2Finterglacial cycles. In short, and simply put, most likely they are caused by variations, with incoming solar radiation, for a variety of reasons, including changes in the Earth's tilt and orbital parameters in conjunction with what is known as Milankovitch cycles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles#:~:text=Milankovitch cycles describe the collective,geophysicist and astronomer Milutin and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_forcing

Hi John... just hit the "quote' function in the bottom left hand corner, next to the plus. Aren't we working towards a theory of everything, by combining all the forces? In other words getting back to conditions post BB? aka a superforce? Don't we already see electricity and magnetism as electromagnetism? Another important point, the BB should not be seen as an explosion, rather just an evolution. And again, we can't talk with any confidence about any before the BB.

A subjective debate/discussion certainly but imo dogs win by a country mile! I must admit I have never had a cat, but do have good friends who do have them. Dogs are a man's best friend, they are a companion, they are a mate! I have had over my lifespan of 76 years, a Labrador, a German Shepard, and two Rotweillers, My last Rotty named Rocky lived until he was 13.5 years old...a pretty good age for that breed. He was unbelievable! I once spied a couple of Seven Day Adventists doing the rounds, coming down the street, and decided to put Rocky and the front porch, and told him to sit and stay. As they approached our gate and started to open, he stood up and gave one almighty bark! ( he did have a loud bark] And just stood there watching them. They had a bit of a conversation and then decided to give my place a miss...thankfully as I was watching some footy. I let Rocky back in and he retruned to what he was previously doing...laying at my feet, licking out my toe jam from between my toes. Let me add that having had various large dogs that have undeserved reputations, I have never ever looked like having any problems with any of my dogs, with regards to any of such undesereved reputations. In fact both my Rotties were big sooks! I now have two Miniature red Dachsunds, a breed I am familiar with as my parents did breed them...19 puppies in all, in three litters. I have a friend who has a Malmute another beautiful animal. In any report of any dog attacks, that make the news, always my first reaction, is to get the appropriate authorities to question/interview/investigate the owners themselves. I venture to say that in near all cases, the blame for such attacks can be levelled at the owners.

Having not really run into you before, let me clarifiy, that I am no professional or expert for that matter, just a poor old retired maintenance Fitter/Machinist/Welder. The BB is our model of universal/space/time evolution, ( from t+10-45 seconds) and it is supported by the four main pillars of cosmology. (abundance of lighter elements, CMBR, reversal of observed expansion, and galactic formation) In that first instant post BB it was so hot, that the four forces were all united/combined into what has been called the "Superforce": As temperatures and pressures dropped, the superforce started to decouple, gravity first. This created phase transitions and false vacuums, and the excesses of energy went into creating our first fundamental particles. At three minutes post BB, conditions were such that the first atomic nuclei formed, protons/Neutrons. It took another 380,000 years for conditions to be such that electrons were able to be captured by the atomic nuclei and our first light elements were formed....H and He. From there gravity worked its magic and Abiogeneis and voila!! here we are! Let me add an important point as follows.....

The membership of that club is getting quite crowded! 😉
