What we should think about is HOW to experimentally support one hypothesis in respect to the other.

Just my 0,02 $.

Can we still drink the shots?

Re: Are a group of bosons waves or particles?

Bosons are defined as entities displaying Bose-Einstein statistics. The core of B-E statistics is that N bosons in the ground state have precisely one way (ignoring degeneracy) of entering the first excited level. This makes no sense until one considers shots of vodka in a bottle. It does make sens...

Re: when did this forum get overrun by radical right trolls?

i mean, really. wrong forum. If you mean me, well looking at the stats, I'm user #10 and I signed up two days after the forum was founded in July 2007. In all that time I have never called anybody any names and never characterized any poster here as anything, letting alone calling people I happened...

That is spooky. (or a timely PM...) Nice to see you are still alive not tall dave...speaking of ghosts :) That is touching! Nice to see I am missed! Tall Dave strikes me as a more serious person. His mind is pretty much made up about a lot of subjects, and he simply doesn't care what people who thi...

RobtheBob! Hah! I remember that! I don't think I was posting yet then though. We haven't seen ravingdave either for a bit have we? Must be waiting on EMC2 news. Edit: I just went for a memory lane spin down the members lists. Lots of names that have been quiet a while. :( Somebody speak my name? I ...

ravingdave, not get rid of it just take it out of "View new posts since last visit." If you were to go in to "General" you would find unread topics happily highlighted. (I personally never use this feature anyway, I go by the icons.) And MSimon, if there were a no-politics rule then you'd have a fa...

You can take General off of "View new posts since last visit" by modifying the permissions for that forum. I can't tell you how to do it exactly in phpBB2 because it is archaic and no longer supported by anyone, but if you look around it's in there. I see no whining, just a functional complaint. So...

Any one who wants to help Famulus should go here: http://iecfusiontech.blogspot.com/2010/01/nerd-night.html The meet up is at 8:15 in New York City. I have given Roger Fox a heads up. Maybe he will have a report. Or maybe I can get Famulus to say something. I'm sure he will do a blog post. Do you t...

Re: There Have been Some Complaints

In the main that General has taken over. http://www.talk-polywell.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=32265#32265 Sorry, bad logic.

But you want to privatize your profits and socialize your losses. That is what we refer to these days as corpratism and was how the fascists operated. Dont put to much on the "evil fascists". This kind of argumentation left me cold a long time ago already. So much is attributed to fascists these da...

It will be tough, no question about it. I am actually very worried about our low birth rate. This combined with an increased immigration has led to a shift in population. The US, to my understanding is experiencing the same, yet on a smaller scale (for now). In Vienna every second child born these ...
