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.

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.

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.

So, 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! "

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.
