Show me where I said that. :roll: Provide me with a scientific argument that things would instantly change or admit you're wrong 8)

Care to back that up with some real science? :P

For a time they would, yes.

Orbital inertia and the conservation of angular momentum. You really haven't understood any of the explanations have you?

All of the fundamental forces have a gauge boson or force carrier. Photons for electromagnetic energy of which light is a tiny part of the spectrum, gluons for the strong nuclear force that holds quarks together to form baryons and mesons, w and z bosons for the weak nuclear force that is...

That statement asserts that we know what gravity is. We don't. All we know is that it's the weakest of the four fundamental forces and seems to be associated with mass. Current theories posit that gravity may not even be a part of our own universe but rather a force interfering from an...

Type 1a supernovae aren't cyclic. They are a one time cataclysmic event. Novae are cyclic -but thats a different thing entirely ;) A type 1a supernova is typically caused by a white dwarf accreting matter from a larger star in a binary system. Once the accreted matter causes the white...

Hoax. http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/invitation.asp The veracity of these warning emails is usually inversely proportional to the number of UPPERCASE words and exclamation marks!!!!!!! used. :p

You'll need a properly set and braced strainer post at each end of the run. Tension each of the support wires with one of these: http://www.molevalleyfarmers.com/mvf/store/products/hayes-wire-strainer-h300;jsessionid=BB41364727320C45AA7D3199008B1375 One end of the wire is attached to one...

Pssst... Jillilfixit. There's an ignore button in the top right hand corner of each post. It's a good way of dealing with trolls like Joe - you never have to hear from them again. ;) The thing to remember about any security system is that it just buys time and acts as a deterrent - the...

There's an excellent astronomy forum on the web - well worth a look if you've an interest in the subject. http://www.stargazerslounge.com

I've seen them many times from my front garden :D

There's more than aluminium in airliners. Titanium, depleted uranium and steel for instance. In any event it's all about kinetic energy - do the maths.

Eh? The UEA didn't tamper with any data. No less than *eight* independent inquiries found that there was no evidence whatsoever of scientific misconduct. What *did* happen was that the scientists managing the data failed to release it to sceptics - what they should have done was publish it...

You want your CO alarm(s) in the house not the garage.

I think it's a frackin' risky business :P

The Americans picked an area rich in sand and sandstone for their test are as they high silica content would give a higher probability of the rock fusing and forming a good seal. Even then there were dreadful accidents and releases of vapourised fissiles and nucleotides. Schist is composed of...

I have a degree in geology thanks :p The bedrock may well be metamorphic but it's still an alluvial region with alluvial and glacial deposits. The skyscrapers are piled into the bedrock - there's an area where glacial till predominates and no skyscrapers were built. Metamorphic rocks are...

A nuke under the towers. :roll: The seismic signal would have been picked up *worldwide* and would have been distinctive. The local ground tremors would have been like riding a rollercoaster - watch some of the low yield underground test videos and see what the effect is. There would...

They thought Timothy Evans was 100% a bad person. They hanged him and they were wrong. Numerous miscarriages of justice over the years are sufficient proof for me that the system doesn't always get it right and that in itself is reason enough not to bring back any form of capital punishment.
