I'm not sure I understand what you are saying, knowledge is demonstrable, that pretty much defines reality...

Popcorn are you suggesting that an observer has to be a mind? From what i understand of it, which may be small, things like radioactive decay pretty much do the same thing.

Build tornado resistant buildings or live under ground seem to be the only reasonable solutions but few want to live in a reinforced concrete dome or under ground...

I am going to side with Tridimity on this, while it could have been done a bit less abrasively the subject is real in the USA where one of the most popular books actually advocates what can only be termed child abuse and it is religious and religion is being used to justify it. I think we could have had a productive discussion around it...

Most religious people I've talked to about this "delima" either don't care or refuse to accept anything that might lead to critical thinking, very sad...

This article seems to give a reasonable explanation... http://www.ibtimes.com/t-rex-soft-tissue-controversy-explained-how-iron-preserved-68-million-year-old-dinosaur-tissue

I can't read the paper but if it is similar to the Nuclear light bulb rocket the wall is quartz cooled by liquid hydrogen and the americium plasma would stay confined in the "light bulb" ... there are of course problems to be solved... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_lightbulb IMHO the real key to this would be the ability to create a magnetic field sufficiently strong enough to contain the plasma...

The only reasonable course of action is go to a doctor, you'll probably end up spending more money if you go it your way...

Can time be traced back to infinity? The rainbow gravity theory suggests time had no beginning and there was no singularity and that different wave lengths of light are affected differently than others. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=rainbow-gravity-universe-beginning&WT.mc_id=SA_WR_20131211

Now for some real music! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVGINIsLnqU De-evolution is the real answer!

I produced chlorine this way in high school but that was 40 years ago, evacuated the class and destroyed the apparatus...

Ummm bad stereo speakers that do hard math?

Well i am very far from expert on this and I am sure someone will point that out soon but I see no reason why an EMP couldn't be directed, the US military does some interesting stuff with EMP already...

I watched a video last night, about an hour and a half long that asserted that the USA and other world powers had done some speculative war games based on an alien invasion. The video was well produced and had some good graphics but the reasons for an alien invasion were weak to say the least. I gave it some thought and I couldn't really come up with a reason good enough to travel light years for a planet, the video finally came up with an invading robots scenario wanting to harvest earths forests for reaction mass for propulsion. Considering how unlikely a planet enough like Earth exists, for us to travel there to do war with the inhabitants seems like a loosing proposition unless they are cave men or something. The question, is there a realistic reason to invade an already inhabited planet if planets are as plentiful as current projections indicate? There is also the question of just how Earth like a planet would have to be for us to thrive there? The movie Avatar would be a reasonable example, a planet full of life but not really habitable, is it likely we will find planets close enough to "Earth like" to be colonized and would it be reasonable to expect a limited military force to conquer a civilization as advanced as ours? I am not suggesting FTL and neither did the video, it just seems unlikely for so many different reasons with FTL much less with out it... This also calls into question the idea of "if there are aliens where are they" is it likely another inhabited world would be much more than a curiosity? Most science fiction assumes something like they want to take us over or colonize or steal our water but with literally an infinite number of variables would alien invasion really be a likely hood even given close by aliens?

Completely surrounding in a conductive material should should do it... btw a faraday cage directs the pulse around the object being protected, it doesn't absorb it...

Special pleading is their only answer...

That's kinda beyond the whole "boyscout" project isn't it?

If you can't show it then you don't know it, you simply asserting it and saying I would have to believe it before I can see it, nothing real requires belief, nothing unreal exists...

I'm pretty sure that is what he has, his picture was quite frightening, I've seen advanced tweekers that looked like prince charming in comparison. If I can remember where the article came from I'll post it but he has essentially irradiated himself by pursuing this endeavor over the years... If I remember correctly americium can be used to make a nuclear bomb but it takes quite a bit more than anyone could accumulate in a reasonable amount of time... but still less than the plutonium or U235 required. http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/handle/2027.42/87734 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission-fragment_rocket

300%? That would suggest that a net gain in energy wouldn't it?

I read an article recently that said he was still up to his tricks but radiation poisoning had him close to death, his picture looked like the walking dead...

Citation please...

Yes objects can recede from each other faster than light, the edge of the observable universe will eventually recede away and all we will be able to see is our local group of galaxies that bound by gravity... What you are asserting here is not inline with the general scientific consensus, the universe evidently does appear to be accelerating at an ever increasing rate which will eventually exceed the speed of light and all we will be able to see is our own galactic local group, Imagine in this far away future when astronomers will only be able to see our own galaxy and nothing else, they will have no idea of the big bang or expansion...

Absolutely awesome cosplay cover of Bohemian Rhapsody... https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=oi7KPDi_yQI

Pretty much exactly the way I felt when i was diagnosed with cancer...
