Interesting Science Video Thread

Fuck this thread though. Make a specific one

Kind of an anticlimactic read with all the is-it-is-it-not-in-interstellar-space, but still awesome nonetheless.

How NASA are still getting updates from a spacecraft launched more than three decades ago, some 20 billion km away, and I can't get phone reception in the middle of Melbourne, is beyond me.

Just semantics really, though

80 million years is fuck all. The fact that they're able to measure that precisely is more impressive than the fraction of time added on. Cool stuff.

And this probably isn't news to anyone, but it's always fun to remember: If you turn your TV on to a channel with white noise, 1% of that is caused by the background radiation left over from the Big Bang. SCIENCE!

You guys aren't fucking this thread

Ya, I was reading about that the other day Cobbler.... I have no fucking idea what to think. Part of me feels like it has to be a hoax. Even if it is a birth defect, how can that little thing be 6 years old?? It doesn't even look real. Especially the way the abdomen and chest are 'filled in' as if to support the ribs; like a it was made from a low quality mould. But that's not reason enough to write it off.... I don't know. It's weird, but there will be a reasonable explanation

Why is this thread in Free Your Mind? Tell me now.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Because the people who made these forums apparently couldn't conceive of the fact that people might actually want to talk about important discoveries in the world around us.... so it goes here

Pangaea with modern boundaries

 

[deep]

I vote yes, lets do it,


we have too many minorities like Asians and Africans
it will be a lot easier when we are all just Pangaeans.

Pangaea with modern boundaries

This blew my mind.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Not sure how accurate those shapes would be. Entire mountain ranges would be stretched out along the land masses

Just came across it on another site I frequent. Here's a small note:

"What you see here is an anachronistic mashup — a modern map, complete with geological features that did not exist 300-million years ago, with its various parts relocated to the general position they would have occupied before Pangea began rifting apart some 200-million years ago."

It's amazing that the world was like that just 6,000 years ago.

Guys, how do we really know that it's not like that now? I mean Palin can see Russia from her back porch, so maybe it really does look like that. Don't be fool by a "consensus" in science, that's usually a sign of a hoax.

"What is the point of doing science when it is only right when it agrees with the Bible?"

The point is they're trying to give their completely unsubstantiated beliefs a veneer of legitimacy by adding the word "science" to their quackery. If you use the scientific method correctly, you don't throw out data that doesn't agree with your hypothesis, you adapt your hypothesis in light of scientifically gathered data.
