  13. Re:It's Actually A Good Point on The Motivated Rejection of Science · · Score: 1

    Fact: We are pumping and mining billions of tons of hydrocarbons out of the ground each year, and then burning most of it. Fact: The earth's climate is warming faster than it typically has during previous warming episodes. You are probably not a very rational person if you don't believe these facts. They are simple measurements that have been taken in multiple ways. One may choose to focus on outliers that disagree with the bulk of the data, but such a focus is not rational. You are also probably not a very rational person if you don't accept that the above facts are likely related to each other. It is exceedingly unlikely that such a dramatic rate of consumption would not have atmospheric and thus climatic impacts. One may as well believe that the oceans are too big to be polluted or over fished. That there is a correlation between such irrational points of view with conspiracy theorists and the religious right is hardly surprising. If one is irrational about their religious point of view, or political, or historical they are likely irrational in other ways as well.

  16. Re:Time delay - info from the future? on Quantum Experiment Shows Effect Before Cause · · Score: 1

    How would the no-communication theorem take effect in the following: With a very long fiber optic cable send the two photons in, knowing that if some stock goes up tomorrow then Victor will entangle them, Alice and Bob measure the photons today and then decide whether or not to invest in the stock. It may require a 7 billion mile (twice the distance to pluto) long fiber optic cable (assuming the index of refraction is about 1.5), but perhaps a superhigh index of refraction material, like a bose-einstien condensate would help. Actually instead of a fiber optic cable just put a big mirror on Pluto.

    Until our electricity comes from renewable sources hydrogen power is worse than fossil fuels. Not to mention the energy wasted in the production of their LEDs and making of the commercial to market a wasteful and impractical product.

    I don't contest that the system is screwed. I do contest that Google is innocent. Even this company that strives to do no evil falls into the same pattern as everyone else, as that is the only course of action that allows survival in todays market. There is indeed no chance in hell for us.

    Why push a cart, the technology already exists for your fridge to order your groceries for you.

  25. Re:New technology, old mindsets on Global Christianity and the Rise of the Cellphone · · Score: 1

    Is your desire for life to have meaning really much more advanced than their Bronze Age mythology? Living life to its fullest, and hope have no real value because everything you do will be erased by time. Your research may live on, books may survive the author, and artists’ works may last, the good you do while alive may have long lasting ripple effects, perhaps for millennia but the universe will end. It may end in heat death, or cold death, or big crunch; however it ends everything you do will be erased, and over the vast expanse of time even contributions that last for millennia are entirely meaningless. At best we can make meaningless contributions to improve the lives of other meaningless creatures. I don’t have any value, purpose or meaning, I just am. In a moment (perhaps another 40-50 years from now) I will no longer be.
