pirana 0 #27 December 12, 2008 Quote Quote Quote Wasn’t it Oppenheimer that said he was afraid that if they continued to find a way to split the atom the atmosphere might ignite…. He was SOOO wrong!! You guys go for it! Close ... it was Fermi (U of Chicago) who proposed the back-of-the-envelope wager that the Trinity test might ignite the atmosphere, either of New Mexico or around the planet. Hans Bethe (Cornell) & Robert Serber (the-UIUC/later Columbia) showed that it was wrongly theoretically; the Trinity test showed that the wager was wrong experimentally. VR/Marg It's always good when experiment confirms theory - especially when the destruction of the atmosphere is involved. Those theoretical guys get too much of the fame. The experimental physicists, the guys who actually have to test whether or not we will Ignite The Earth (a new movement I plan on founding - one of our causes is the capitalization of articles) deserve more of the glory." . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pirana 0 #28 December 12, 2008 If you are gonna do something, do it right. You need to go here: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/ for the very best in psuedo-science, conspiracy theories, the latest on alien anal probing, end-of-the-world wackiness, and all other such needs. These people are Simply The Best. You can not beat them for heaping helpings of absolute bullshit. That site you referenced, . . . child's play in the wacko world. Rank amatuers; like little kids telling a fib, you know they are lying, but sometimes it is so damn cute." . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #29 December 12, 2008 QuoteSo, no man with white robes and long pointy beard then What about Gozer? Was he there? "He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you! " ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pirana 0 #35 December 17, 2008 I just had to try it myself. So I Googled that. Did you know that Honda makes a car (if you want to call it that) named the That's. 656 cc engine. Looks more like a tractor cab on an oversized go-kart frame. And that's all I got to say about That." . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #36 December 17, 2008 So, I guess the galaxy is like a great big toilet bowl that's just been flushed, with the vortex at the center (the black hole). And that makes us the scum on the outer rim. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
