Re: National September 11 Memorial and Museum

Looks strangely like a cross between a "religious" painting and a scene from a film or tv show from circa 1978 AD. A keen observation. A while ago I did an ELA of the subway picture using the highest quality version I could find. It looks pretty good, actually (by which I mean, it doesn´t...

Re: REQUIRED: Introduce Yourself

Hi SCS, Good to have you onboard. You seem to place fairness and objectivity in the high seat. Finally, if you or any members have a legal question I'll be glad to answer (where appropriate of course) as best I can. Since you are inviting legal questions (free of charge, I hope :P ), I was wondering...

As simple as it may sound, that´s an absolutely fundamental question to ask. If only it had been asked earlier!

Re: Does Rocketry Work in the Vacuum?

It would be an attempt at creating a combustion reaction with lesser and lesser degrees of oxygen. I was going to answer, but rusty beat me to it :) Rocket fuel requires no oxygen (or atmosphere) for "combustion". It does however require a combustion chamber sealed off from the environmen...

Re: Does Rocketry Work in the Vacuum?

I am sure the experiment would be exciting to watch, but... 1) unlike "interplanetary space", chambers and spheres have inner walls against which the rocket exhaust will push, much like a launch pad. I would surprised if the rocket didn´t move. Place the "rocket" inside the spher...

Re: Does Rocketry Work in the Vacuum?

http://i.imgur.com/iZ2zhgU.png The big question is this: Is this a valid experiment? It´s a simple and clever experiment and I am not surprised it shows that the "opposite reaction" is insufficient to move the balloon cart. In any case, the experiment is not valid in the sense that the wh...

Re: Does Rocketry Work in the Vacuum?

Since there were close to 400,000 scientist, engineers etc. who worked on the Apollo project in one way or another do you also hold that those 400,000 people have been lying all these years as well?

Re: THE DERAILING ROOM

I know I only have a dozen posts on this forum, and I understand entirely it's not my place to say it, but if the intelligent design/evolution discussion in the dinosaur thread continues, is it possible to splinter it off into it's own thread? I agree this discussion should be in a different thread...

Re: The (non-religious) dinosaur hoax question

Selene, Thank you again for your efforts. However, this exchange is leading nowhere and I suspect other forum members are getting rather bored with it.

Re: The (non-religious) dinosaur hoax question

Thank you for your feedback, Selene. I am curious to hear what you define as "Neo-Darwinian Theory"(NDT). What is it in your own words? I summarized the basic tenets of the NDT here: http://cluesforum.info/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1424&start=150#p2380378 The NDT is the mainstream doctr...

I see environmental factors and triggers as the main driver for evolution. No, Selene, this is not what scientific evolutionism posits. You will find answers to some of your questions in my exchange with nonhocapito on this page: http://cluesforum.info/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1424&start=150 I ...

Re: The (non-religious) dinosaur hoax question

I realize that few (if any) CF members need convincing that the NDT (Neo-Darwinian Theory) is little more than ideology (or poor philosophy) dressed up as science. However, the topic is vast and it can be difficult to know where to start and itʼs easy to get lost in endless discussions on details th...
