OK, so what does a "non scientific" approach look like?
Do you sit around and meditate for the answer? Do you use intuition and feelings instead of rationality?
I'm really curious to hear the answers to this... :)
All this criticism of science and yet I hear no alternative to figuring out similar problems that isn't science. People also seem unwilling to embrace any particular religion, since that's been mostly discredited. So what are we left with? Just some vague new age sense that "there must be more to the world" than what we can see and measure directly. But this is not really a criticism of science...

- you honestly think tesla didn't use the scientific method?scarabin
- not 100% he was intuitive unless his writing or quotes are fake. he talked about how he did it.yurimon

- he had the whole thing already visualized before he built it. not scientific at all. and admitted knowledge from the etheryurimon
- he took shit further then anyone as far where we are from shit he made and was stolen from him.yurimon

If Planet 9 Is Actually a Black Hole, It Completely Changes How We Understand Our Universe
- actually, it wouldn't change anything about how we understand our universe. and there's no evidence it's a black hole, so why assume that?sarahfailin

In 2005 Barry Marshall got a Nobel Prize for showing that ulcers were caused by a special strain of bacteria
Same seems to apply to Alzheimers:

Worried about the global collapse of bee populations?
Here's an interesting take, from the horse's mouth so to speak..

(skip to 'Why this beekeeping web site?')
- 200,000 honey bees killed in Prunedale

- Sad, very sad, that we are collectively destroying the place that we call home.utopian
- Three men were in the pub discussing their bee's. First one says in his west country accent 'I've got 10,000 bees and 4 hives'. Second one says 'I've got 25,000set
- bees and 8 hives'. The third one says 'I've got over one million bees and one hive'. 'A miliion bees and ONE HIVE!!!!???' is the response...set
- 'Yea.... fuck em'.'set
- Only the best joke ever told. Though loses something in text note form admittedly.set

Fuck me, I had no idea...
Apparently this is what Venus actually looks like — the photos you're probably accustomed to all include UV so as to highjlight the upper cloud layers.
There's some interesting tidbits on here from 'planetarycolin', if you're into this sort of thing...

In the latest LIGO event, a black hole 19 times the mass of the sun and another black hole 31 times the sun's mass married to make a single hole of 49 solar masses. During the last frantic moments of the merger, they were shedding more energy in the form of gravitational waves than all the stars in the observable universe.

Scientists estimate that 150-200 species of plant, insect, bird and mammal become extinct every 24 hours. This is nearly 1,000 times the “natural” or “background” rate and, say many biologists, is greater than anything the world has experienced since the vanishing of the dinosaurs nearly 65m years ago.

- I wonder how long it would take to do this through breeding, like we've done with dogs. Ie keep breeding hairier and hairier elephants until they're mamoth like_niko
- and then breed ones with the longest tusks until they too are mamoth like, Then do the same for head shape etc._niko
