Only to a gamma Nazi. Guess how intellectual you are coming across.

Yea, all he does is take a few 10s to 100M dollars and turn it into 500M or more. Sure glad i don't have to share an office with that loser!

So your saying your idea of intellectualism is star trek? Your not as intellectual as you think you are. The old star trek was hardly intellectual, unless you are 5.

Wrong. Don't pass go don't collect $200. Sure solar activity follows an 11 year cycle. But that simply means that the probability changes over that 11 years.. a bit. But not much. Its like having a 11 year cycle on how many lotto tickets you buy. Still does not make these events overdue.

The sun does not sit there and go "haven't sent a big flare in the direction of earth for 30 years.. better do one now". The chance of one in the next 11 years is no different from the last 11 years. Yea i have a masters in Astrophysics. Yes this is what the Scientist say. Not some uninformed /. who clearly knows nothing about statistics or the physics behind them.

These are not know for the low cost.

Thorium is *not* proven. A small pilot plant that didn't even do *any* breading whatsoever didn't go horribly wrong. Its didn't go all right either. Pebble bed reactors proponents made similar claims, see Germany experience of such a reactor.

That is not how it works. Just because you haven't won lotto for the last 100 years does not make you more likely to win lotto this week because your "overdue".

If the chance of it happening is .5% per year, then it not happening for 200 years means the probability of the event next year is *still .5%*.

No it doesn't. I have had things published in these journals. We do most of the work, the rest is reviews and editors give a few comments etc. There is very little editing anymore these days.

Most people don't. They assume its something the "evil" banks do to steal your money. Bitcoin fans seem to have even a poorer grasp that others on average. And yet one of the main bitcoin faqs points out that fractional banking is quite possible with bitcoin.

Well a 1 km cubic detector is not small, or the 20km particle acceleration to make the neutrinos. And after all that you going to have a very poor bit rate. Of course it still won't work since the sun pumps out a lot of neutrinos and that would kill the already very poor S/N ratio. The can go right through the sun... they can also go right through the detector.

And all that radiation goodness? What about that?

I am on these said papers so look them up yourself. And your still an idiot and have no idea what the scientific method is or how its applied outside myth busters. Try reading a bit of philosophy in science.

I find this whole debate silly. Who is liable when breaks fail? when tires blow out? These things have happened and its has killed people. This is hardly a new precedent.

That "requirement" is ridiculousness. By that requirement we have never observed any particle's outside protons and electrons. We have never observed current (only indirect effects) ... etc. Its stupid.

We can use polymerize outside the cell, we can see the happen errors. I can't watch with my eyes... But if your going to say "that only real time counts" or some other absurd direct observation requirement whatever that means. Well there is about 98% of current "science" that hasn't even been observed and never ever will be.

Yes we have. Yes we do. We even have experimental evolution experiments now days.
