The electric universe group suggest more weight be given to observational evidence instead of mathematical constructs.
But "math stuff" and "bizarre phenomena" sure have worked so far. That computer you wrote that from, for example, wouldn't be as small nor fast as it is without an understanding of the bizarre mathematical phenomenon know as quantum mechanics.
But the impossible mission of how the heat comes from the centre, and skips the relatively cool surface, to somehow end up as millions of degrees above, just makes no sense at all
It doesn't make sense to *us*, the popular science reading public. But does it make sense to the actual scientists?
And even if it doesn't make sense to them, so what? That's why they built the New Solar Telescope!! To, you know, learn new things and make better hypotheses.
I know the Electric Universe offers a very plausible explanation
Now we know you're either (1) a crank, or (2) terribly young and naive.
I was wondering if other people had their own views, or theories they'd like to share.
Anyone who "shares" (such a *compassionate* word
What I want to know is why the hell there's a sperm fscking whale off the coast of Louisiana!!!
Advertise it as being socially responsible, and something that will empower poor, "developing nations" womyn.
Or perhaps universities should only offer courses that you have personally approved???
You numb-nuts. Universities are *not* trade schools, which only teach what is popular.
(Well, they should not be trade schools.)
There might be some legal/bureaucratic impediment. Or they might not have thought of it.
Or the $38.3M early-warning system might not be as mature/effective as claimed...
So, are you claiming that universities shouldn't do courses which cater to different interests?
Correct.
I didn't refuse to go into Comp Sci because the school wouldn't teach the stuff I was interested it. It was/is my job to use and extend what the University taught so as to *then* do what I want.
In any democracy, one thing is certain: A bunch of folks think that a bunch of other folks should pay for something all of them need.
I know why you think that, but in this case, no. Instead, it's risk mitigation, something for which insurance companies are quite familiar and already spend lots of money on.
The gov't should convince insurance companies to band together and pony up the cash.
If the earthquake were in... Antarctica or Greenland, you might have a good case.
s it linked to the Sun activity
Eh? This is seismology, not climatology.
linked to the human oil/gas digging
Damn!
I was just about to (sarcastically) blame fracking and Sarah Palin...
In the same way that differential air pressure "repels gravity" to keep a plane in the air???
Why didn't the rubber absorb the sound, so that no one heard the master's scream?
But the real "so what" is that they are OCRing the mail,
Lot's of people still actually hand-write addresses. It needs to get OCRed in order to be sorted.
