  1. for sure not the intelligence on What Does IQ Really Measure? · · Score: 1

    ...but ability to solve IQ tests.

  2. first eliminate electricity phenomena on Running Your Own Ghost Investigation? · · Score: 1

    First of all I'd eliminate electricity related phenomena, this would narrow your search. Every electricity is producing electromagnetic waves, so you definitely need a radio receiver (no idea which). Analyzing radio data is not really easy thing, however. Good luck.

    I do agree with you. The quotation at the end of your msg is very pertinent in that case.

  4. 4 years ago polish guy did it better on Brooklyn Father And Son Launch Homemade Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    I've sent here a year or so a story from Poland, which was rejected by admin. http://moo.pl/~tygrys/balloon/ I know everything in US is better, bigger and wiser, but cygnus baloon was launched in 2006 and reached 28 kms above groudn level. No comments.

  5. There's polish technology on US Navy Tries To Turn Seawater Into Jet Fuel · · Score: 1

    There is laboratory proven - and efficient - technology of converting CO2 (from factories' chimneys) into metane. Technology was developed by prof. Dobieslaw Nazimek. They are trying to implement it in large scale, at the cost about USD 200M per one factory like carbon energy plant. There are 2 main problems: cleaning fumes and finding brave investor.

  6. Re:Uncontroversial? Hardly. on Science vs. Homeopathy · · Score: 1

    bullshit. Before the attack I suffered anxiety, something strange in stomach and short periods of unconsciousness; going there and back many times a day. This state was partially controllable by me and in most cases I was successful. But those symptoms were EVERY day! After sulphur pills, I had NO symptoms at all.

  7. Re:Uncontroversial? Hardly. on Science vs. Homeopathy · · Score: 1

    But...it happened a day after tooking those 2 pills. That was not a process - all symptoms disappeared in one day. My personal evaluation is, 50/50 for placebo and treatment.

    "The word you're searching for is "bullshit". Homeopathic medicine has lots of well-diluted bullshit and will be more than happy to sell you not-really tainted water at a price that makes bottled water vendors blush." Disclaimer: I do not want to convince anybody, but just asking, whether it could be placebo or not. Since I was 10, I've been suffering epilepsia (petit mal, that means little attacks). After few years my life became nightmare, every day I had terrible symptoms and once a year the great fit with unconsciousness, muscles tension and very bad feeling a day or two afterwards. I tried 2 different therapies (Depakine Chrono - twice a day, convulex - three times - these were newest on the market 20 years ago), changed the style of life - NOPE. Only if I've forgotten my pills on certain hour, symptoms arisen automatically. And pills affected my brain :( After 3-4 years I tried the homeopathy. My doctor had dozens of certificates and so on; he examined me 3 hours, very detailed. After examination, he gave me 2 little pills (AFAIK that was sulphur). After that I'm absolutely healthy - no pills, no symptoms, even if I'm tired and had no sleep for long time. That was 15 years ago; now I'm 33 and have no epilepsia. And most important thing: I was very sceptical to homeopathy. Now I'm not an enthusiast, if I had the headache, I take ibuprom. Besides, there are some well known homeopathy effects: one is chinin, the second one is a little cup of alkohol for fighting hang-over (Katzenjammer ;-))

    Not exactly a LOT. Its rather the surface of the aluminium and that could be fixed.

  11. Re:Goodness on 3D Human Cells Grown · · Score: 1

    Of course there's mistake with dimensions, it's about tissue structures and not cells. But there's one more mistake. My wife was involved in project of growing 3d human structures based on diverse composite materials as 'skeleton' to structures and I rememeber very clearly, that there were several succesful researches, where some 3d human structures (AFAIK ear and nose) were created.
    The problem was, that creating the shape is very difficult (but possible, I had no problem with recognizing the ear) and with lack of clinical application. Information was from medline, the service that is not freely accessible - so I can't share you direct link.
    So I don't understand, what australian researchers have done, in fact.
