Importantly if you're trying to disprove someone you have a couple of options. The best option would be to use something demonstrated to be true. Another way to describe your actions is throwing CRAP and hoping something sticks.

Wow you seem to need some reading proctoring. The article clearly states that this guy might have the answers, is working on his own experiment, and as I stated his experiments have yet to be reproduced. If anything this article backed my views that science has yet to produce sufficent work to fully embrace this idea. Let alone the science is at a state where we can't apply Cold Fusion to anything.
Recap of my view and supported by the Wired article: Cold Fusion, perhaps, lots more work to do.

Cuz it's simply a half dozen experiments that show us science is in process of doing it's building of experiments and evidence? Seems I've already accepted that's what is needed. A site showing the building of evidence really doesn't change a thing.
As for the your 2nd link I get a not found error.
(sarcasm on) OMG a discovery of more unknowns. You mean to tell us that science continues to observe, calculate, experiment, and build it's understanding. No way! (sarcasm off) Last edited by BrianK on 20-Oct-2011 at 04:09 PM.

Yes, Lou, I'm biased in favour of an internally self-consistent explanation for the universe. Its part of being sane, you should try it one day.
The whole problem with your, er, argument is that you really will use anything at all to try and 'disprove' me. Even if its mutually exclusive with everything you've said before. You'll use Znidarsic one minute, then he's revealed as a crank so you reach for Brandenburg because his crackpottery contradicts the part of science we've used to disprove earlier foolishness. Nevermind that Znidarsic is incompatible with Brandenburg.
You are not self-consistent. That is one of the most obvious indicators that you are, in fact, wrong. Or trolling. Whichever, both perhaps.Last edited by T-J on 20-Oct-2011 at 05:51 PM.

Unidentified There are about a dozen Unidentified Flying Objects keep landing in my back garden. They are small, brown, and covered in a kind of feathery coating. Of course, if I get a book on ornithology from my local library I may be able to identify them, but where is the fun in that.

Mathematics? So if you claim the half-life of something is 5000 years, can you introduce me to the human who was around that long that took the measurements?
That was one link you should have followed... |

Lou, you have no understanding of the meaning of the term chaos. Chaos, mathematically speaking, is merely a special case of order. An apparently complex system which is nevertheless completely deterministic and can be analysed, described and predicted. Radioactive decay, however, is not Chaotic in the mathematical sense. It is Stochastic. That is to say, it is a fundamentally non-deterministic process governed by probability. However, even stochastic processes are inherently ordered, with the process' non-deterministic nature being bound by its predictable actions into a finite set of possible outcomes. Order is the norm in the universe, and behind your so-called chaos, we find simply larger patterns of order.

Well now isn't that just hypocrisy of the first order?
Can you introduce me to the human who was around in whatever-BC to witness your space aliens building ancient civilisation?
No, you can't.
Can you introduce me to the human who has seen electrons physically transmitting the EM force?
No, you can't.
By your own standards, we have no choice but to reject all these theories you've presented. Lack of eyewitness evidence, case dismissed.
Your insistence on limiting permissible evidence to vision filtered through unreliable human memory is ridiculous. Setting aside all the problems of eyewitness evidence for a moment, there are many things that are colourless, odourless and to all intents and purposes, invisible. Nevertheless, they exist.
Take for example, carbon monoxide gas. In your worldview, it doesn't exist. Enjoy your carboxyhaemoglobin poisoning!
Or perhaps to use a more, heh, 'controversial' example to you, radon gas. Again, colourless, odourless, tasteless, invisible. But highly dangerous.
And with a half-life of 3.8 days, which we can observe during a human lifetime.
Tell me, given that the maths describing radioactive decay works for radon, accurately predicting its stochastic decay towards stability, why should that same paradigm of mathematics explaining measurable physical characteristics not apply to carbon-14?
Internal self-consistency. Regardless of your misconcieved notion of chaos, its a key requirement of any logical system. Any theory of knowledge must conform to a logical system or it is simply nothing more than a simple collection of opinions strung together by bias, appeal to authority and other similar fallacies.Last edited by T-J on 22-Oct-2011 at 12:33 AM.

Good response as to why we know the earth is not 6,000 years old.
I find that many people don't realize we capture chaotic events in our daily lives. Take a pot of water. It will boil when the temperature reaches 100C. Though not all molecules are at 100C at the same time and some might not even reach 100C. While we can't predict when any single molecule will boil we can predict the phase change of the system with fairly good accuracy. And the result is we get to each Mac and Cheese. |

As further proof that the impossible can happen, an OS4 laptop is in development.
...and pay no heed to the T-J behind the curtains, his story of chaos and order is backwards.
Misinformation is the best way to make people not believe you.
Going back to UFOs, you realize that many times the claims of hoaxes are the misinformation, right? The crop circles hoaxsters are frauds as true crop circles have characteristings unreproducable from the claimed hoaxsters. Then there was the good old 'swap gas' misinformation explanation. It seems people like you will accept the lie that allows you to believe that everything is right with the world.
Do you remember the story of the airforce fighter jet that they pulled out of the ocean near Italy and Greece that suffered no damage? Do you want to hear more details about that or do you want to be served the fast-food information that the controlled media gave you despite leaked photos of the jet being under water with the ####pit unopened/ejected...? |

This first photo was for the press but one leaked out with the canopy still intact. One leaked out with divers around the plane with the canopy still on. How did a place that was supposedly flying at flight speed crash into the ocean, suffer no damage and still have it's canopy on if the pilots ejected.
The fact that it suffered NO DAMAGE is enough to raise more than an eyebrow... But if you enjoy being spoon-fed, you will take the article at face value.Last edited by Lou on 24-Oct-2011 at 11:13 PM.
