Well, "Noah's Folded Space Canoe" doesn't make as good of a title. Sure. That's why the Aztecs were so advanced, and why the Egyptians were so advanced, and why the Persians and the Indians et al were all so much more advanced than the Christians. Didn't Persian math and science outdo the west for a...

I thought I would point out that it was a bunch of homosexually inclined individuals raping little boys. Which points out the problems with heterosexuality. You get hetero inclined men raping little girls. Always with the stereotypes! Nobody ever points out the problems with heterosexual little gir...

I don't get it. That lets you image the interior of an object somehow?

electron microscopes IIRC can't do molecular level imaging, but we do have a few that can, scannign tunneling microscopes among them. There's actually plans online for making STMs. They can do molecular level. I've seen a cryoelectron microscope used to image phage coats. You can see individual tai...

Bush is no expert on stem cell research. What Bush did was consult with experts who were, and he incorporated their advice in his decision. He picked and chose his consultants to fix the outcome ofthe advice. He wanted a compromise position he could point to (only fund some , not funding more ) and...

As I have mentioned before, China is uninhibited with any ethical concerns regarding humans and research. Shallow excuse. You screwed it up, period. Since you don't seem to understand about a stem cell line being theoretically infinite, i'm pretty sure your judgment about this is ill informed. Theo...

Doesn´t gamma ray lasers open the possibility of molecular level detail scanning methodes? Like, "counting number of neurons in a brain" detail? We can already image at molecular level detail. It's called the electron microscope. Also, neurons are a lot bigger than molecules, so we don't actually n...

May I suggest avoiding General if the information upsets you. Thank you. I probably will soon. This has been a bad habit for me. I don't really have the aggressive nature it takes to hold onto these arguments. I prefer a more civil discourse, and while I can become impassioned enough to deviate fro...

So the deal is: if you don't want to deal with right wing politics it is best (in general) to avoid engineering forums. Wait, why is this an engineering forum? Wouldn't it be more of a physics forum? Or, considering that the actual work on polywell is going on elsewhere, isn't it just a forum based...

Fanatics are always like this; they believe in their points so thoroughly that they think respecting other veiwpoints is morally wrong. That's his right, and within a set of consistent principles, it is very logical. But take heart: progressives are in power right now. Well, it's obvious YOU believ...

I'm not going to bother with this anymore. I will simply repeat my underlying point: hyperbole. This is all the grossest exaggeration. You'll see for yourself in a few years.

It's just like you to keep pressing after an argument has petered out and nobody is really disagreeing anymore. When I was a contractor I had the ability to turn time into money almost at will. I understand how your lack of experience with freelance work makes your conclusions shoddy. Do you underst...

I have no desire to debate your political discontent. Just ignore posts like this. I think the posters of these sorts of thing are annoying and offensive too, and sometimes that provokes me into saying something, but it's better to just let him rant. Fanatics are always like this; they believe in t...
