New Discovery Disproves Quantum Theory?
An anonymous reader writes to tell us the Guardian is running a story that has quite a few physicists up in arms. From the article: "Randell Mills, a Harvard University medic who also studied electrical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, claims to have built a prototype power source that generates up to 1,000 times more heat than conventional fuel. Independent scientists claim to have verified the experiments and Dr Mills says that his company, Blacklight Power, has tens of millions of dollars in investment lined up to bring the idea to market. And he claims to be just months away from unveiling his creation." The only problem is Mills' theory is supposed to be impossible when using current rules of quantum mechanics.
That all we know about quantum physics is wrong?
So the teaching, grants, studies, relativity theories, and other "scientific" methods that my tax money is funding has been a waste?
Tell me again why teaching Creationism in schools is not "scientific"? Hell, it stands on more known TANGIBLE historical data than quantum physics (or evolution, for that matter).
And netcraft has confirmed "Quantum Theory is dead"...
GNAA rocks - cumming to your town soon!
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Then why is Bush such a useless f-up?
The difference is that ID isn't science. By the two tests: is it disprovable? Do scientists think it is science? ID fails both. So yeah, teach ID in schools if you like, just teach it in something other than the science classroom.
How we know is more important than what we know.
Extraordinary Claims require Extraordinary Proof.
That is what Intelligent Design is all about. God is the Extraordinary Proof of everything.
i think what you've said lends them a little more credibility. but that still doesn't explain why a website about 'science' requires a macromedia flash plugin.
