skeptimist71 Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Since the theory of relativity has been proven wrong, it leads me to ponder the following... 1. Can fat people go skinny dipping? 2. Whose cruel idea was it for the word 'lisp' to have an 's' in it? 3.Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? *relatively bored* Quote
Jay? Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Peer review or it didn't happen. EDIT: if you're talking about the Neutrinos at CERN, that ended up being an equipment error. Quote

SimpleGuy Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 *relatively bored* I see what you did there. Also I find your lack of evidence quite disturbing. Quote
Pulse95 Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 1. They can, just like skinny people can chubby-bunny. 2. Some Neologist who probably talkeds likes disss. 3. Noah never existed, according to any history book that was created by sane people. (I mean, there is not enough water on Earth to flood the whole planet) Then again, gravity is also just a theory and has not been proven. The real question: How much can a wood-chuck chuck wood, if a wood-chuck could chuck wood? Quote

skeptimist71 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Posted October 3, 2012 Peer review or it didn't happen. EDIT: if you're talking about the Neutrinos at CERN, that ended up being an equipment error. As of Sept. 6th 2012 (date of POSTED video....not sure of the date in which it was televised) Stated the discovery/ information data retrieved was tested 15,000 times and every single one came back verifying the data to be accurate. If there is information disputing this, such as equipment error, i simply haven't seen it yet. Either way, i for one believe anything is possible. After all, there was a time in which everyone believed the world to be flat... Quote

Or (a less provocative answer) is that he knew that they would be an essential species that aids the survival of many different creatures that we, in turn, depend on for our survival (spiders,birds, fish, etc.) and thus are essential to our ecosystem Quote

This thread was never intended to be about the theory of Relativity.....rather "irrelevance"...hence the stupid questions. Yet, rather enlightening in the end. The only answer needed to end this thread was.....I'll believe ya when me shat turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet. Quote

Except that that isn't how scientific discourse works. You said something about e=mc^2 being proven false, and cited a video. I then cited a video and a handful of articles explaining why your citation wasn't accurate. Science isn't about "believe" or "not believe", it's about what you can demonstrate. Also, threads in "off topic" rarely go the way you want them to. Quote

And as i stated prior, if there was evidence of falsity i was simply unaware. i didn't research due to the reasoning that i never intended to discuss relativity. But i do thank you for your posts, i learned something of great value that turns out to be more relative than not. Cheers! Quote
xxmikegigsxx Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 i never intended to discuss relativity Then why did you make a post, to inform us? If it had a hint of truth most people would have already have heard of it almost a month later As for anything moving faster than light, there are particles that approach it and time actually slows down for them so not to break the world.

Adlersch Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Or (a less provocative answer) is that he knew that they would be an essential species that aids the survival of many different creatures that we, in turn, depend on for our survival (spiders,birds, fish, etc.) and thus are essential to our ecosystem Or, you know, Noah didn't house animals that could fly or swim on his boats. Anything that had a chance to survive outside was left to fend for itself. Maybe those mosquitoes were just eggs in the water at the time. Anyways, enough on Biblical history - what's all this I hear about the Theory of Relativity being wrong? Aside from Jay?'s sources, I would think that it would cause a much, much bigger stir at least in the scientific community if not the mainstream media if it were true. Besides, I need this theory. Otherwise telling anyone if they look good in a certain outfit would be lying - I can always say, "You're right" thanks to this theory! ie. "I love this Top 20 (Our show choir) outfit this year! I really think it flatters me!" "You're right, it does!" S/he can't be wrong, thanks to the fact that they perceive that they look good. ;D Quote
freakachu Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 this just in: everything on the internet is true! this goes double for youtube! corollary: there is no such thing as duplicate videos on youtube. Quote

Sacrieur Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 An additional two experiments were run to verify. They demonstrated that neutrinos do not travel FTL. Quote

You mean you stayed ignorant because you couldn't be bothered to fact check, and you never intended to discuss something you decided to post a thread about. I am very very unimpressed. Quote
