Hmm... that's not what I understood from the summary. That is, I didn't understand that the article talked about how galaxies with closer arms rotate faster than galaxies with stretched arms and why.

Instead, what I understood is more like when you stretch your arms, they keep your elbows and hands rotating around you with the same orbital velocity, regardless of this common velocity being faster or slower for the entire body. But since there are no real arms linking the galaxy's elements, the orbital velocity of an object far from the center should be slower than that of a nearer object, I guess making galaxies look like discs instead of stretching arms. Yet, that's not how they look.

The article then tries to explain it with gravity from faraway objects as opposed to dark matter.

I could of course have misunderstood it entirely.

Only if it's dark.

For some reason, I don't get the impression that someone going through the trouble of polling all this money for such a bogus treatment will ever realize their mistake. I bet the quack thinks the same.

Thank you for your contribution. I wish you a bright future with a more mature mind.

I use a pocket note book as a diary, a small ziplock as a card holder and for some time soap bars instead of shampooing. I would still not consider note books to be part of the "diary" category, nor ziplocks part of "card holders" or soap bars as "shampooing".

Until smart phones, video games and such are commonly used as and called "computers", they will still be just smart phones, video games and such, regardless of how *you* use them.

So it comes down to this: what do you believe? Here are some options:

God and the bible: it says that it's all true (Self-fulfilling). If you don't believe it you're a heretic. Never mind if it doesn't match reality.

Documentaries: they tell you their point of view and show you sensationalist arguments to convince you. They don't tell you to search for certain key words on Google, but that would be too bothersome for you anyway.

Politicians: they need your vote. They'll do their best to pass their message in a way that makes you give it, even if it means not passing the message at all.

Scientists: they want to find breakthroughs. They need money for their research. Real scientists work according to the principles of science. Others are actually pseudo-scientists.

Science: it's based on some principles which are very easy to understand: (1) state your hypothesis, (2) show your data, (3) if it can't be replicated (peer review), it's not true. Unfortunately, to be able to understand some scientific articles you may need to be a scientist yourself.

Silly, you don't want the pills to go faster, you want the patients to feel better! You have to paint smileys on them!

My point is that it's not the moral code which is open for debate, it's the goal.

People can't maximize humanity's potential by killing off people as they like: they'd be removing potential subjects from the pool and provoking waste of energy in (1) people worrying if they will be next and (2) people trying to put the killers out of business.

If, in the other hand, the goal is to maximize your own individual potential with zero regard for others, then you're sure to kill whoever is in your way, as long as you're sure to not be caught.

If the goal is to shove a certain set of religious beliefs down as many people as possible and that's all, there will probably be another quite well defined set of moral codes to go with that.

To me, it's a little shallow to stop at "there's no absolute moral".

Read the link attentively. That's BBC, not "a homeopathy site". Plus, it doesn't advertise homeopathy, just explains all sides of the subject.

Except that these patients bring a lot of people to hand out the money for their delusion.

Moral is only relative if the goal for moral is relative.

Specify the goal (for example, to maximize humanity's potential) and you will end up with a moral code that accepts little variation.

Try as you might, "computer" has a very well defined meaning when not specified: PCs and servers. Other such devices are called "phones" (even smart phones) "videogames" and such for a reason: their main purpose is not to be a general-purpose computer, but to be phones, videogames and such.

You mean his clinic's PR posing as a lawyer.

FTFY

And those heretic scientific books! Don't forget the books!
