theory

Please correct me if Im wrong. This is considered as a truth: 1) The more a substance is diluted in water the more powerful it becomes. Lets assume this is true, even when every trace of molecules of certain chemical compound is lost, its "effectivity" is still there, in fact, magnified...

(Sorry I'm not posting very much, but I have issues of a personal nature that leave me very little time to post on JREF - I'm sure we'll come back to the things we talked about later) Does anyone know any valid reason why someone would change empirical data in order to improve a significance...

I haven't seen this one in here so I'll post it: :dr: Jesus was not the son of God, he was actually a human form of Loki, the Norse God of chaos, he was a practical joke by Loki to undermine belief in the one true god, Odin. Prove me wrong.

Two notes: (1) This article was written by a State Department Diplomat. (2) You might be better off reading this at the source since the article is extensively backed up via in text links, and I don't have time to recreate that here. E.U. Dependence Theory: Blame Canada A few of our Canadian...

Two groups of astronomers have mapped over 250,000 galaxies, and the results show that the galaxies position is exactly where it would be....if the universe started with a giant explosion - big bang. Martin Reese, Royal Astronomer, Cambridge University: "Experimentalists, using new technology...

I was wondering this...I thought I would ask here for a straight forawd simple answer without googling it,since google only shows creationist links and nonsense. So when does a Scientific Theory Become a Scientific Fact? I have herd that when it can be observed in a lab. If this is true,Why...

This is related to my other posting just now....... apparently Neal Adams has this "anti-pangea" theory, and basically says a lot of what the scientific community says is wrong about all this. I found this site which seems to explain what his ideas are...

http://www.rbduncan.com/TOEbyFitzpatrick.htm Crazy physics crank brings us the dirt on why Einstein was wrong and he is right, and provides us with all the secrets of the universe.

I'm sure you've all heard this one before, but it's an extension of the popular 'flip a coin and if you're disappointed in the result then you have figured out what you really wanted' technique discussed in another thread, so I thought I'd bring it up again. It goes something like this: 1. A...

As a long-delayed fulfillment of a promise to Rolfe, this is a review of one of several papers published by LR Milgrom which purport to establish a theoretical “metaphor” for homeopathy in terms of quantum mechanics. This paper is entitled “Patient-practitioner-remedy (PPR) entanglement...

This educational thread is dedicated to Roger Coghill, but others are welcome to participate. Rules of the game: 1) This is not a debate thread. If somebody can document information given here to be at fault, they are, of course, welcome to correct it, but stick to facts. 2) This is not a...

I was reading evolutionary theory, and came across a question I didn't know the answer to, even though it's a common question. If species are evolving constantly, and we originally evolved from the apes, why then are there no species between us and the apes? In other words, why are there no...

All right, I know a lot of skeptics don't want to touch this stuff, but I think it's a problem that needs to be addressed. I'm not sure if you guys keep up with the conspiracy theories as much as I do, but there's been a hey-day of dissent over the Nick Berg beheading video. I normally just...

It's a bit late in Aus, so my brain is going into conspiracy theory mode. Is the oil well sabotaging in Iraq being done by the Saudis so that the world is more dependant on their oil?

Sustainable oil? ". . .An intriguing theory now permeating oil company research staffs suggests that crude oil may actually be a natural inorganic product. . ." Pretty neat, if true.

The following poorly constructed page claims to show "proof" that the heat generated by the exploding fuel and resulting fires in the WTC was insufficient to weaken the building's steel support. A while back a friend of mine who works at Boeing doing work with chemical propulsion told me that...

Nicholas Berg Conspiracy Theory 15 Anomalies Surrounding the Death of Nick Berg More on the Killing of Nick Berg To me, it's easier to believe that Nicholas Berg was decapitated as a 'publicity stunt', to draw attention to the cause of insurgents/terrorists/cause d'jour in Iraq. I am prepared...

I was reading that thread about plate tectonics on Mars and here's my question: On Earth, is it known if plate tectonics activities are increasing, decreasing or stable? Because, if what I read is true, that unique continent which once existed, Pangea, has broken into many pieces and formed...

Can anybody explain what the "mass hysteria" term used by skeptics means and how it is applied? The abstract above was from an article about the theories of ghosts. Whistler.

Found this link on fark today. I didn't know where to post this, if in science, politics or here. Since it's a link, I decided for here. http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/ The tone is quite alarmist and there's a section about questionable science (cold fussion for example), but in general...

A must-read, especially for those who insist that war is healthy for the economy: http://www.mises.org/fullarticle.asp?control=1428 There's also a good example laid out in the Civil War and how government finance methods resulted in great economic harm. There's also one good point in...

The new atom smasher being built on the French/Swiss border (I think) is going to be SEVEN times stronger than Fermilab. This is perhaps the only chance in near times to have a chance of testing supersymmetry (Which, in my opinion, would be a bigger discovery than life on Mars), which would be...

I have been developing the theory of the charge sheath vortex for some years now. It is based on the simple observation that while stationary particles carrying the same charge will repel each other, once these particles start moving in parallel, they develop electromagnetic fields that cause...

Hey All, I read this in the NewYork Times Magazine on Sunday, and wanted to get your thoughts. Link ------- http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/14/magazine/14COINCIDENCE.html Article ------- More than half of Americans believe in ''anomalous phenomena'' like clairvoyance, unexplained...

I think that an experiment needs to be done to confirm whether or not String Theroy is correct. I also think that some kind of expirement could be done using the energy that these one dimensional strings have. Can anyone here think of some expirement that can be done in this way?
