  1. Re:Piker numbers all wet on Enormous Amount of Frozen Water Found on Mars · · Score: -1

    So 3/1 impresses you, huh ? Look at some REAL numbers. Age of universe ~ 10*10^9 y Old human ~ 80 y Minimum entropy REQUIRED ( see Barrow & Tipler ... ) to produce humans ~ 10^8 Conclusion: you figure it out, but if you get the wrong answer you may have to roast -- upsidedown in iron pipes with the Popes -- in Purgatory for an equal number of years. Kinda gives you that toasty-warm feeling just thinking about it.

    Sorry Pal: There's nothing to care about. Night. Always. Out THERE. No Princess Lea and no life, no hope no understanding. No 'people' ---no emotion. Nothing nada nix nyet. No one drop of life. Utter emptiness after 13.7 billion years and nothing to show for it, but a couple weakly bent 4-dim tensor fields and ... us. Better pop that Coors' Lite, pal, cause it's gonna be a long day.

    Worse than mental laziness I believe: More like arrogant power-mongering. Stalinist to-the-core ... the hate_crime, thought_crime crowd. Might as well throw-in the anti_PAC and "intellectual property crime" shills. 'Cause that's just thinking too. Not that the ol' USA needed 20th Century legalists to push this crap, since the Alien & Sedition Acts ( 1792?) and Abe Lincolns jailing of "copperheads" ( 1863 ) provide plenty of grist for the PC mill.

    Waste of time, money and effort. There is NOBODY "out-there." Nobody ... no life no intellegence no striving. A cold empty vacuum 14-B light years across punctuated by a few trillion trillion burning hells. No love, no emotion, no thought. Nothing, nada nix. Except us. Deal with it.

  15. Re:Even Newton is 99.995% right for most stuff on General Relativity Is At Least 99.95% Right · · Score: -1

    Equating models ( curve fitting ) and theory ( necessary mathematic consequences of an asserted physical principle ) panders unnecessarily to a crass empiricism. As our palsy Godel observed, truth is a greater concept than "facts" . Newtons 1st Law, Schrodingers Equation, Mad Maxs' displacement current and Big-Als Equivalence principle fit no curve. They were asserted as physical intuitions -- as necessary truths ... of course they could have been false. That's how physics works ... when G*d is a mathematician.

    Byteboyz, weinerdudes and geeks can GAG and spit-blood on UBUNTU. But for Usrland UBUNTU is manifestly easier; the M$ product more difficult. What's lacking in most disciplines is a single, crucial reptile-brain hardwired application. Photoshop and Spice are examples. Mathematica is a counter-example.

  18. Re:Growing up too fast? on Consumer Electronics Causing 'Death of Childhood'? · · Score: -1

    Blood-in-the-streets is what it would take. Fat chance. Who steps out first? Who first asserts ... to be more technical than necessary ... that desirable society expresses a POWER LAW in behaviors, not a Gaussian. Who will reject "tolerance" and demand a culture of principled behaviors? Not exactly a civics_101 project! Whose willing to pay this bill? In the USA I don't see enough folks with discipline, guts and the clear yeoman values of a successful republic.

    Instead what we have is a ba*tard combo of empire-building merchantilists, and the simpering emoto-centric "Heart is a lonely hunter" crowd ... the socalled cosmopolitians. Each small group has attained enormous power, wealth and control. And by law gifted themselves such power while forcing opponents to the edge of lawlessness -- see drug laws, thought-crimes ( hate, intelectual property etcetc ) and immigration for details.

    Sure, there's an option between the Georgie-Porgie NWO Nazies and the Lieberman/Kennedy neo-Stalinists. But if the yeomenry want back their culture, they will have to take it back. What isn't clear?

  22. No dynamics, no science on Kansas Board of Ed. Adopts Intelligent Design · · Score: -1

    Sure it's shaky to find support for ID by, say, the Wigners Friend, lookahead Tiling, W.A.P. or Weyl Curvature Hypothesis problems. Real shaky, no doubt, but you do see the connection, eh? You're not some fool-freshman that needs hand-holding ... Good! So we agree, a rational person may entertain as science some form of ID conjecture.

    OTOH generally speaking "evolution theory" has got-it-coming. It's smarmy and flabby. Where are its' defining dynamics - the 2nd order D.Es , say, we might expect - sitting at the heart of the theory? Where are the quantitative predictions of - plausably - time variation in 3-dim morphology of a ravens beak ... whatever. Can't find them, eh, not at the heart of it. That's the rub! **REM** No (dynamical) prediction = no science. "Explainations" = talk = cheap. Darwin Marx Freud == lots of 19th century stale balony.

    You could NEVER say that about Helmholtz, Maxwell or Boltzman. Or Einstein. Or Dirac. Or ...

  24. Re:What ID is actually about on Using Copyrights To Fight Intelligent Design · · Score: -1

    I'm not aware of non-trivial, quantitative predictions made by evolution-theory. I'm sure you believe such predictions exist. SO.... could you derive the differential equation(s) defining such predictions ( with boundary conditions ) , present their solution(s) and compare those predictions against experiment?

    An appropriate task would be... ' calculate evolution of 3-dim structure for any part of a birds wing over the last ( say ) 70-m years.' Hop-to-it man! Seems like a "natural" task for a SCIENCE calling itself evolutionary biology or whatever ....

    'Course, if you can't DO that calculation ..... What's that you say ... nothing but excuses? Too HARD!? Can't even do it IN PRINCIPLE you say ??? Hummm ... then you have no b*tch with ID cause they can't do it either.
