Buzz lightyear and the JREF Challenge

I know what you are talking about "Gzuzkryzt" .
This is probably what happened to Francis Crick back in the 60s when he was knocking back some Dr Hoffman's finest as he unravelled the mystery of DNA .
And " Cuddles " , I realise that you have reached the ripe old age of 23 and done your uni and everything , but good old Francis thought there was a soul . Even wrote a book about his attempt to find it .
But hey, what would he know he was just a pommy and he only won one Nobel Prize .
Back soon ,
Buzz

Even with a Nobel Prize, his search for a "soul" seemed to be a dead end. (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was convinced of "fairies" and "magic". Does that make Sherlock Holmes a less compelling figure?)

Now that we've settled that, buzz lightyear, would you care to devote your attention to the inquiries of other posters?

Do you realise that according to his wikipedia entry he described himself as a skeptic and an agnostic with "a strong inclination towards atheism" and that Mark Steyn characterized Crick as a militant atheist?

So no religeous/mystical backup from Crick, anything else?

You know your sarcasm wont get lost on the people here. Now back on topic Ghandi....
 
Is this bloke our mate dargo in disguise?

He's definitely an Aussie, and has the same style of lots of claims, none of evidence. The "resonance" factor is stupid enough to be a brother to "shamathy" and the weird "pyramidology" that dargo and his buddies were into.

Dargo away since 12/1, buzz here since 14/1.

Either that, or Aussie's in the grip of some bad acid.
 
Phew !!!!!!!!!

Yuk , why do I suddenly feel dirty ,
Will have to go and have a tub ,What is the old saying ,
" lay down with dogs , wake up with fleas " .
See you guys later,
Sorry

Finished with the random insults? Good.

Now, would you care to respond to any of my points from post #16? Since if any of my points are correct your entire theory falls apart it would be interesting to know why you think I am wrong.
 
Ok "Gr8wight" , enough stirring up the hornets .
Let's see if we can get some real communication happening .
For starts :
If it is ,as Newton reckoned, that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction ,it could be postulated that for our world of matter and life there would be a world of anti, or non matter and non life or death ,as the equal and opposite .

And if the theory that, energy cannot be created or destroyed but merely change its form is correct , then the thing we call our soul or persona , that we create during our lifetime , doesnt disintergrate at death , but simply changes form .

And if we also consider that life on earth gets larger as the magnetic field increases , then we are possibly the microcosm of the larger macrocosm we call the earth, created by the interface of the solar winds and the modulated effect of the magnetic field .

Then is the possibility of a parallel world from which life ebbs and flows not that ridiculous ?

Enough for now , let me know your thoughts ,
Buzz

Well, buzz, that was a fun bit of philosophical postulation, but it did not even come close to answering my question. I guess, in order to properly approach it, I will have to back up and ask a different question, which is:

Have you ever "put a rent in the fabric of space / time," or been present when someone else did so?

Slept through your high school physics classes eh?
 
What is my bitch with Randi .
I dislike bullies ,
I dislike hypocrites ,
And I dislike people "who stoop to conquer"
If Mr Randi was truely the warrior opposed to quackery then he would go after the really big fish ........ The Pope ..... this dude and his group have been fleecing the public for centuries with bogus mysticism .
And while he is at it he could have a go at the America President , he claims some extraterrestial call "god " is on his side .
The archbishop of Canterbury..........the list is endless .

Back soon
Buzz

Get you be a bit more specific on just how Randi should go after the Pope, the President, the Archbishop of Canterbury, et al?

Because it seems to me, that if Randi did such thing then JREF would loose its status as an education organization as well as face serious legal trouble.
 
G, Day " Cuddles " . We could argue physics all day and you would probably win . . So bear with me these are just ideas not a competition .
I believe that all matter is just different states of energy . OK
So if this is the case it needs an opposing force to exist .

As for the soul . For the time being we will call this X in our equation , an unknown . The jury is still out .

From the geological records there seems to be a fluctuation in the number of species on earth corresponding to the strength of the magnetic field . Well that's what I read in the books !

The solar wind ;......... look it up in the Wikipedia .

And a question ; Do you know what this is ; 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34........

And "Gr8wight" , I have poked a hole in the " space/time" thing many times , mostly by myself , but twice with someone else .
No two experiments produced the same results but an underlying theme became apparent . It required a combination of timing ,sound , position , and an artificial induction of a death like condition . For this I usually tried to drop my body temprature a degree or two to the early stages of hyperthermia .

Cuddles asked if you knew what solar winds were. Do you?

Buzz lightyear, please explain in detail how you determined you "have poked a hole in the " space/time" thing many times , mostly by myself , but twice with someone else".
What kind of measures did you take to ensure it wasn't just your imagination, a delusion or a hallucination?
 
Howdy "GzuzKryzt" , I know you guys have me pegged as an illiterate moron , but believe it or not I can read .
The last time that I checked, the powers-to-be reckoned that the solar wind is a plasma of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons and other assorted crap flailing out from the sun . So I will take them at their word .

To ensure that what I experienced wasn't a delusion I took along another person who assisted in the experiment . At the end of the day we compared notes . There were differences but there were enough similarities to conclude that it wasn't an illusion .

So far, I have pegged you as someone who claims he has "poked a hole in the " space/time" thing many times , mostly by myself , but twice with someone else", but plays a coy game on elaborating on said claim.

Which at this point leads to me assume you do not have very much interesting stuff to say, because otherwise you already would have.
 
"Terry" as far as I know energy is vibration .
Vibration in expressed as the oscillation between two polarities .

As for the Fibonacci , was just checking to see if " Cuddles" is a blonde .
Will get back to it later .
