If only facts could be based on the majority view, Thanks for the reference - Modified : anything that can undergo a prescribed change (chemically, thermodynamically, kinetically, physically and electrically) - i.e. anything that can decrease its internal entropy at the expense of...

Can somebody define the criteria of "alive" - what must something possess to be a living entity? Until you have a solid understanding of what "alive" means, we cannot debate this any further - my definition is this (contrary to the biological science fraternity): anything that can undergo...

Hope they included the angle of trajectory - radial or lateral transmission of wave formation?

A seed does not need sunlight to get initiated - which is why they sow into soil or animal turd to begin propagation. The level of nutrients in lung tissue is adequate to faciliate growth - and there is plenty of water there as well. This is a rare event, but one which I will acknowledge as truth.

This is so fundamental - and as a philosophy, it is one that I agree with. Scientifically, it is not a leap to get use to either - mainly, only the hurdle is of the definition of consciousness, but has science pricipitated out the elements of consciousness-feeling in us either - I give you...

Quick point - How does nuclear physics and physicist become so entangled with semiconductor technology - wouldn't this field be more appropriate with a material or metallurgy scientist - and who has allocated the funding for research to be given to design this new unique portofolio of elements...

Addendum on Shape: http://www.impactlab.com/2009/01/04/reproductive-spores-remarkably-aerodynamic/ Clues are out there!! - good dissertation for physics students.

Liked the exploration on the shape issue with this one, A topic that warrants more investigation - To think out aloud.... It appears that UAP's morphology has some criteria in common - such as high degree's of symmetry - cyclindrical, triangulation and spherical manifestations. We seem...

Good guest - someone who evaluates before making an inference. This seems to be the problem in this subject - the "ufologist" often looks like the lap dog trailing behind orthodox science and waiting for tit bits to come its way to explain the phenomenon. Pre -1930's Observations canals on...

But I don't know many carnivourous dinosaurs to walk on all fours - preferring, and most suitably designed to be bipedular - my bet would have always been on the velociraptor. Can we assume that size matters and/or is it a function of the atmospheric density - too small, preditation - too...

Mr Hastings, keep bulldozing - let the weeds take care of themselves!! Thanks for this elaborate input. To get back on topic - I see some rational on the Nuke/Atom bomb question. Think about it like this - if the "monkey-ape/chimapanzee" ever discovered the art of "fire" and devastate the...

But the "shit" keeps getting passed to the next shift.

How does it? What guarantee can you offer that the "bribe" assured for the longevity of power is not transformed into the back pocket of the quick step politician? What happens to stability and continuity?

Thanks - and I agree with everything you have said, and the interception in this debate was largely rhetorical - since the distrust in the democratic system is mirrored here in the UK in these times as well. But I would like to take this portion of your statement: And use rhetorism to state...

Don't you have elections in the US any more?

I have a few issues on this - Income on executive pay is drawn from salary but also bonuses and share options - and I don't see any reason why an executive should be barred from an amount that they deserve - especially when it is the executive who has had the drive and vision to construct the...

We have classed all life into a series of rudimentary sentiments - Movement,Respiration,Sensitivity,Nutrition,Energy,Growth and Reproduction. Based on that and what we know and given that all these functions are the products and synthesises of complex interations of to mention a few DNA,base...

Recheck the probe (probably contaminated from earth) - would like to know what the partial pressure of methane is here - methane should not be present in thin Martian atmosphere - this should break up under uv light from sun? Unless of course it is continually being produced? Sources -...

Accrued 2008 Bail Out - Update so far.

Slavery was necessary to get America off the back burner. The American/British/Dutch etc Pioneers would trade with African Chiefs who would stock rival african tribes - push them on a boat and spend 4 weeks if they were lucky on the atlantic shitting and pissing on each other perhaps shackled...
