PLEASE WATCH THIS CLIP ON GENERTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
offense74 replied to RAINRA's topic in General Discussion
He claims that there is something else besides matter, I stopped watching after that. We have to find it first, then we can draw conclusions. If a scientist make claims that contradicts the laws of physics while being all alone on it, bells should start going off everywhere. It would be nice to be able to alter the laws of universe all by yourself though and it goes in line of what people want to hear. -

Science is no longer telling us what we want to hear. I think this is the main issue. Instead we turn to dragon hunters, Gods, economists, or what have you. It's dangerous because stupid, groundless theories have killed more people than I care to count. We have sacrificed our fellow human beings to Gods and dogmas, tortured them in the process. If we lived rationally in a way that science have described to be natural for us to relate to ourselves, our fellow Homo Sapiens and the rest of the world, most problems we face today wouldn't be there. I would love for this to happen but I see it fading away with every new irrational idea that people come up with. Science is losing ground fast and it scares me but as it keeps sending us results that we don't like I only see this scenario worsening. -

I'm sceptic when I hear things like this. We have tried our best but the big bullies (CVD, Cancer, HIV, Malaria, viruses, etc) are still around. There are areas where we have been very successful (antibiotics, vaccines, etc) but there is, IMO, an over confidence in believing that modern medicine will (in the near future) solve some seriously complicated issues. The track record is not nearly as good as some wants us to believe (and most do believe). -

Yes. Thank you. -
I thought you were going on a diet ?

I'm going to LOVE to follow this, just as I loved following your juice feast this sumer. Quinoa and buckwheat are actually not grains (as in grasses). Buckwheat is a herb and quinoa is a flowering plant. Just good to know . Also, there's a hole in your pants. Maybe it's the European cut DV talks about sometimes...

Even though it sucks when you get sick when you really want to start it's better to wait it out IMO. You're going to have thousands of awesome workouts throughout your life so torturing yourself to one extra (that might result in not being able to train for a week) is not worth it. Cleaning is boring. -

It IS energy. This is a contradiction to the first quote. You say in the first quote that energy is energy nomatter in what form it comes and then in the second quote somehow redefine it so that the energy becomes "different" depending on its form. Energy is energy is energy. It doesn't matter if it's potential, static, nuclear, etc. It's energy. The sun converts matter in the form of "leftover" neutrons (from fusion of H + H to He) to heat and light (energy). Plants convert this sunlight (energy) and CO2 to carbohydrates (energy) and O2. We eat the plants and we convert the carbohydrates together with O2 to muscle power, brain power, heat, what have you and CO2. Same ole' energy that came from the leftover neutron. So far Newton is right. Disproving him might be out of scope for this board. -

Energy doesn't equate burning stuff in the presence of oxygen. We have tried to explain to you and others what energy is but to no avail. To me there's no point in discussing energy if we can't agree on what it is. Next up: Flood Geology. -

+1. I would really, really like it to be otherwise, but it's not. -
Tanning beds doesn't increase vitamin D in the body since it's the other type of UV that does the actual tanning. You plobably have just been too stressed out to notice any symptoms .
