All together, that comes out to the typically quoted range of between 1022 and 1024 total stars, which means that for every grain of sand on Earth, there are 10,000 stars out there.

There are 100 Earth-like planets for every grain of sand in the world. Think about that next time you’re on the beach.

- Just beaches, yes? No deserts, no rivers, no lake beds, no sea floor, no subterranean sand layers? That's science is it?Morning_star
- It is.monospaced
- OK. So science is lots of guessing, speculation and incorrect assumptions. Got it.Morning_star
- No, not at all. It's full of educated guesses, which are extremely accurate.monospaced
- Not like stupid faith-bases systems. honestly, are you trying to bring sceince down to retard religion level?monospaced
- Not at all. But that <, is just a load of old bollocks dressed up as science. It's a totally subjective 'calculation', it's not testable in any way. It has as much scientific value as asking how long's a peice of string.Morning_star

- the question is clear on whats includeddrgs
- It's still a meaningless answer unless you're evaluating the method.Morning_star
- Look, at least it's an educated guess. Just because it doesn't meet your standards doesn't mean it's not scientificmonospaced

Physicists at University of Queensland, Australia have simulated time travel using particles of light. The researchers achieved this by simulating the behavior of a single piece of light–a particle of energy–traveling on a closed timelike curve (CTC)–a closed path in space-time. The work may help to understand the longstanding problem of how time-travel could be possible in the quantum world and how the theory of quantum mechanics might change in the presence of closed timelike curves.

- few key words "promise" "potential" and "may" but keep it comin.yurimon
- few key words missing "faith" "God" and "guns" but keep it comin.utopian
- i see "promise" once and "may" twice. your point?scarabin
- strong evidence compels people to say things like "may" and "possibly," that's how it worksmonospaced
- unlike traditional belief systems that have no evidence and still have teh audacity to make claims about truthmonospaced
- i love how threatening this shit is to you, yuriscarabin
- and it's never gonna get better because science will continue marching on, continually making discoveries, while you sit there masturbating over the same tired shitscarabin

How do they decide what a crank is?
- it's overwhelmingly obvious to anyone even slightly educated and rationalmonospaced
- I don't understand how you could possibly be so certain that YOU understand the universe enough to make that assessment.Morning_star
- Or are you just following the crowd?
Morning_star - I don't claim to. But I have some very trusted sources. Better than trusting pedophiles who worship a naked man on a stick.monospaced
- You (or your 'contacts') seem to be under the delusion that it's a black and white argument. And that the whole of humanity has chosen either Science or Christianity. They're not even comparable, let alone the only possible positions to hold. Dumb as a brick.Morning_star
- chosen either Science or Christianity. They're not even comparable, let alone the only possible positions to hold. Dumb as a brick.Morning_star
- as a brick.Morning_star
- Exactly, they're not comparable because religion is a belief system and Science isn't.monospaced
- My "contacts" are the great scientific community that posts its results publiclymonospaced
- I agree to an extent. You're right about religion, but science can be as dogmatic as religion, especially those that insist the only universe is a materialist one.Morning_star
- only universe is a materialist one.Morning_star

- face of clear evidence to the contrary (contagion theory). Point is, 50 years, best biologists in the world laughed off evidencemrrgl
- that (many) disease are caused by other living creatures, regarded it as unworthy of consideration

Despite persistent reports of such experiences, as well as a growing body of experimental evidence, the notion that the mind might have extended properties is considered by some to be scientifically implausible. EM (Extended Mind) seems to violate core assumptions of the neurosciences as well as physical laws about the structure of space and time.
The apparent violation of existing theories has led many to assume that EM experiences are best explained as coincidence, illusion or delusion.
However, as previous concepts about the nature of space, time and causality shifted with the development of general relativity and quantum mechanics, ideas about the properties and capacities of consciousness have also begun to shift. These shifts are now accelerating because of rising evidence that basic characteristics of living systems (e.g., magnetoreception and photosynthesis) are mediated by quantum effects.
This radically challenges previous assumptions about the plausibility of EM.

- Science is AWESOME. Let's not forget Joseph Mengele and his awesome work in the name of science. And Oppenheimer and his oh-so-creative discoveries; and those happy chappies who invent new chemicals to burn kids for longer in syria. And the deliberate infection of whole communities with STDs in the name of science. And those ethical bohemoths the drug companies. Awesome.For fucks sake, it's about the inadequacies of human beings. There are ALWAYS those humans that exploit, mame, murder, steal and destroy in the name of something.Morning_star

50 Interesting Facts About the Earth
Researchers calculate the age of the Earth by dating both the oldest rocks on the planet and meteorites that have been discovered on Earth (meteorites and Earth formed at the same time, when the solar system was forming). Their findings? Earth is about 4.54 billion years old.

- all his wack claims are completely unsupported by any evidence whatsoevermonospaced
- his entire theory goes against the very basic laws of physicsmonospaced
- why is this in the science thread?Gnash
- it's yurimon, he's trying to say that since one guy got science wrong that the whole scientific community is questionablemonospaced
- a pathetic attempt to bring it down to faith/religion's level, I supposemonospaced
- Kinda interesting, but not from a science pov. According the wiki ""Velikovsky hoped... that the merit of his ideas would be evaluated on the basis of his comparative mythology and use of literary sources alone"Gnash

- haha, name one aspect that you think is goodmonospaced
- Also he is getting a revisit because of electric theory of the universe is picking up credyurimon
- the accounts of natural disasters on humanity from texts from all around the world, he is aligned with electric theory of the planetsyurimon

- 'Common BELIEF fallacy' - quite a lot of that going on in this thread by Dawkins sheep.Morning_star
- are you saying you don't believe in evolution?monospaced
- Evolution isn't a common belief fallacy, it's backed by tomes of data, growing daily.monospaced
- Unlike religion, which has no data and is followed like the sheep led by a non-existent shepherdmonospaced

- "are you saying you don't believe in evolution?" No. I said DAWKINS not DARWIN. Although you can thank Alfred Russel Wallace for the theory NOT Darwin.Morning_star
- Russel Wallace for the theory NOT Darwin.Morning_star
- If you like darwin, you must love eugenics...yurimon
- Whilst Darwin was a supporter of eugenics it doesn't mean that someone can't be selective about editing out the less palatable ideas.Morning_star
