claiming that the Empire State Building arose spontaneously from just such dust, complete with working elevators and tenant invoicing.
Ultimately, yes, early building blocks of life led to formation of the Empire State Building. Obviously, many billions of tiny intermediate steps were required. Which one of those tiny steps do you have problems with ?
Dr. David Viner was talking about snow in Britain, not Florida or Boston, and the last 15 British winters (with the exception of 2010) were pretty warm. Snowfall in the south of England has also gone down dramatically in the last decades. So, while unlikely that it will never snow again, it's quite possible that children will grow up without playing in the snow.
Took me 1 google search for "raw temperature data", and a couple of clicks to get to this: http://berkeleyearth.org/sourc... containing raw data files, and link to their sources. Let us know what you find.
Not surprising that SETI found nothing. Typical simple radio/TV/radar signals are too weak and will get drowned out by background noise at distances greater than 1 lightyear. The only way we could detect transmissions from planets further away is when they would send a high powered radio signal directly in our direction. The chance that they would do this at exactly the same time as we were listening in their direction is virtually zero.
Modern modulation techniques make detection of radio transmissions even harder, since they look much closer to noise to start with.
People don't pay attention to scenarios involving plain old flu.
They don't pay attention to made up zombie outbreaks either. Unless they are idiots, and then all hope is lost anyway.
Zombies are just a generic disaster that cover pretty much every facet of any kind of disaster response
Except that zombies are slow and dumb, easily recognizable, and need to bite their victims to spread the disease. Flu infected people are normal people flying by plane, and visiting theatres, and can infect people with a sneeze or by touching a door knob. So, the parameters are all different.

You can't do useful mathematics on abiogenesis unless you have defined a sequence of events.
because if they scrubbed my SSN and DOB from the data, what else did they scrub from it?
Even if they didn't scrub your SSN and DOB, how do you know everything else is still authentic and complete ?

Then why is the raw data so hard to get?

Look at the snow levels in Boston, for example
Global warming is entirely consistent with increased snowfall in Boston.
That's exactly what they said when they were building the old reactors.
Until we can define WHAT (precisely) "life" IS
Impossible. The division between life/lifeless is like the edge of a cloud. The closer you zoom in, the fuzzier it gets.
Every reactor will become old tech in a few decades. And people aren't going to change, so they'll continue to build them in awful places.

If you can't get past someone's race and stop being biased towards them then there is something wrong with you as an adult.
Like the people who designed this study and only included white people as test subjects ?
They won't be banned, but they'll be required to have equal pixel value distribution.
It's a well known fact that only white people can be racist. There's no need to test anybody else.
As long as you can do better than a police officer, you're okay.
So this study only shows health and fitness are related.
Actually they say that "titness level was the single most powerful predictor of death and survival", so it's a bit stronger.
But why a threadmill?
It's a lot easier to get an accurate number from a treadmill than from a persons ability to catch small horses. A lot less poop to clean up, too.
Do you sail or do anything where you sense the wind in realtime ?
A single sailboat on the water surface cannot be compared to large windfarm at high altitude.
Wind IS NOT BASELOAD. BASELOAD RULES !
Obviously, yes. But that doesn't mean wind is useless. You just need to keep in mind the wind forecast, and its reliability.
You just need a way to test how many METs you can generate. An exercise bike could give you the same answer, if walking/running is not possible.
What counts is physical fitness. The treadmill is just used here as an instrument to quantify it.
Just click on the link:
The FIT Treadmill Score, calculated as [percentage of maximum predicted heart rate + 12(metabolic equivalents of task) – 4(age) + 43 if female]
After researching the legal issues, it was determined that nothing you could find on the easily accessible internet included CP
That depends on your definition of CP. Does a naked kid on the beach or in the bathtub count ?
How difficult can it actually be to filter out the fish from the inrushing water?
Pretty difficult, I imagine. In no time at all, your filter will be completely clogged with all kinds of marine life and junk.
The moon was going to move all that water anyway, and just turn it to heat due to friction.
In this case there is no legacy software advantage for x86
There could be a native code advantage if Intel keeps all their chips compatible.
