| Do you believe in Magic? 03-20-12: GeoffkaitOf course, the point of bringing up Einstein rings is that a supermassive object or group of objects is located between the viewer and the object(s) visible due to gravitational lensing. This object or group of objects can be a ... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 03-20-12: NonoiseFascinating.I always thought that it was a theory but as long ago as 1919 there was proof that light does bend due to strong gravitational forces.Since Eddington's initial discovery, the study of light deflection - what is now cal... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 03-18-12: GeoffkaitB C - the supermassive object responsible for bending the light is not a star but a supermassive black hole, like the one in the center of our galaxy, or a collection of black holes, things of that nature. Even a very large star... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 03-17-12: GeoffkaitIf we default to the most skeptical opinions, those with the narrowest definition of the "finite bounds of plausibility," how will that affect progress in many fields of human endeavor? Will we harken back to the dark ages when ... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Oh, and btw...03-18-12: SabaiAudiofeil... Regarding your quote of Jack Bybee who refers to Harvard...I think Audiofeil was quoting Geoff, not Jack Bybee.bc | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 03-17-12: SabaiIdeally, science works the way you have described. In fact, it does not always turn out that way because of special interests and political agendas, especially in the field of medicine.I'm not sure exactly what you have in mind with... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 03-16-12: SabaiScience is often used in the service of those with special agendas. Science can be used and has historically been systematically used to arrive at pre-determined conclusions. Science is often fraudulent. So-called "scientific scruti... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 03-16-12: CsmgolfActually, if you can read and comprehend plain English, it happened exactly the way Bryon said. He went through 6 of the so called "explanations" of your products.Thank you for that, Csmgolf. Geoff's "recollection" of events is di... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 03-15-12: Cbw723Science provides structure for investigation. Cooking the books is an act of fraud. People may commit fraud in many areas of human endeavor (as this thread perhaps demonstrates), but that doesnt mean all of those endeavors are cor... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? I think it would be useful to recall how we got here. I started this thread to discuss tweaks that are effective but difficult to explain. I ironically called it Magic. With a few exceptions, people seemed to get it. My choice of ERS as an examp... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Hi Learsfool - The yawn was most certainly not for your boy, H.:-)bc | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 03-14-12: Geoffkait...I'm a little confused by your comment, which seem to be your Big Gripe, that I don't explain my products. I actually have explanations for all of them with a couple of exceptions. So, it's actually you who has come out swingi... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 03-13-12: GeoffkaitByron C - So, a died in wool skeptic continues to post long, drawn out diatribes full of attacks, veiled attacks, straw man arguments and innuendo. Geez, make your posts a little less verbose and a shade more bitter and you'll b... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 03-12-12: GeoffkaitMy box contains ideas. Apparently your box really does contain a beetle.I will give you credit for one thing, Geoff. That was funny.But that's where my praise stops. Throughout this thread, your responses all have the same quali... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Thank you, Geoff, for demonstrating my point. I was using the Beetle in the Box as a repurposed analogy. I am very well aware of its original meaning -- as an argument against Internalist theories of meaning, what Wittgenstein called "private lang... |
