Re: Gasp
Stanley Ann Left for Seattle in August of 1961. By the time she came back to Hawaii in 1962, Barack Sr. had left to go to Harvard. When would they have spent a Christmas together? 1960, or not at all. I think I see where you're going with this, but it'll take a lot more than a few photographs to co...

Re: Applying Occam's Razor: Only one conclusion possible.
Given that the graphic shows the object is unaffected by Earth or the Moon's gravitational field, the object is, more than likely, a spaceship. Where'd they come from? Where are they going? What are they thinking? No, its 880 meters in diameter. Its velocity differential is such that its not going ...

My question would concern the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It sounds eerily like a maxwell demon. Somewhat, though as I recall a Maxwell Daemon uses containment on the collection side...The second law of thermodynamics ensures (through statistical probability) that two bodies of different temperature...

Light has momentum. Do you suppose THAT would get rectified in a wave diode? What about Newton's Third law? No law violation. If, say, you have a sail in space that is transparent in one direction and opaque in the other, then clearly you will generate a thrust from the light being blocked by the o...

I think that the effects of cell phones are just as exaggerated as are the effects of radiation in general. Funny account: A local community was complaining about a cell phone tower that had been erected in their midst. The inhabitans claimed all sorts of ill effects from it. There were reports of ...

an antimatter black hole should carry an opposite electric charge and dropping normal matter into it would reduce its mass, rather than increase it.hanelyp wrote:What's inside the event horizon of a black hole, matter vs. anti-matter, makes no difference outside. At least according to leading theory.

How can antimatter have a repulsive force on other masses, when it has positive mass but opposing charge? So you are saying there is not anti-neutron since there can be no opposing zero charge??? Unh... doesn't sound right to me. antineutron has the same mass as a neutron, but an opposite baryon nu...

I bet this FBI Agent Guy Hottel was a practical joker who knew how to pull on J. Edgar's monkey chain. Plus he knew that when his memo was declassified in 50 years it would get even more people with the prank. Yeah, you didn't get ahead in the FBI under Hoover by pulling pranks. That was typically ...

As for government gambling, keep in mind that government requires private ca...
