A lot of those are 'homework' sites.

They will help you with your homework problem but if you want to discuss anything that's not in a high school or university text book then forget it.

Yeah, I didn't vet 'em, haven't visited any of 'em: just tryin' to be a good neighbor (or less-than-hostile enemy).

I'm not accusing you of anything.

I've been on some of those sites and the reality is much less than the potential.

I remember on one site, I think it was physicsforums.com , I wanted to discuss a rocket engine technology which had been tested by some Chinese university and they got positive results. Well, within 24 hours a grad student moderator had deleted my post and told me not to post about "pseudoscience". LOL

Wow. That's gotta be worthy of moderator intervention.
I was assuming you guys had years of back story on that ILP forum that seems to be leaking all its drama into this site now?

Bring that discussion *here: I'm interested.

*to the forum, not this thread

He was not at ILP as far as I know.

I had never talked to him until a few days ago.

I think that it was an electromagnetic engine.
Scientists just published a paper saying that the controversial EmDrive produces thrust, even though that defies known laws of physics.

After years of speculation, a maverick research team at NASA’s Johnson Space Center has reached a milestone that many experts thought was impossible. This week, the team formally published their experimental evidence for an electromagnetic propulsion system that could power a spacecraft through the void—without using any kind of propellant.

According to the team, the electromagnetic drive, or EmDrive, converts electricity into thrust simply by bouncing around microwaves in a closed cavity. In theory, such a lightweight engine could one day send a spacecraft to Mars in just 70 days. (Find out why Elon Musk thinks a million people could live on Mars by the 2060s.)

The long-standing catch is that the EmDrive seemingly defies the laws of classical physics, so even if it’s doing what the team claims, scientists still aren’t sure how the thing actually works. Previous reports about the engine have been met with heaping doses of skepticism, with many physicists relegating the EmDrive to the world of pseudoscience.

Now, though, the latest study has passed a level of scrutiny by independent scientists that suggests the EmDrive really does work. Is this the beginning of a revolution in space travel—or just another false start for the “impossible” spaceship engine?
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/scie ... ce-science
Could this still be bunk?

For sure. There’s a long history of findings that seemingly defy the laws of physics (faster-than-light neutrinos, anyone?) that were ultimately shown to be casualties of faulty experimentation.

In this paper, the authors identify and discuss nine potential sources of experimental errors, including rogue air currents, leaky electromagnetic radiation, and magnetic interactions. Not all of them could be completely ruled out, and more experimentation is definitely needed … perhaps next time in space.
From the same article.

But you can't discuss this on some forums. :lol: :cry:

Wow, he got pissed at you real quick. I guess the psychotic thing must be triggereing for him.

Thanks for reminding me of this.

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it.

After 449 pages the closest belief for members as to what Christianity is and its purpose is summarized in the following question:

Is it possible to acquire a greater understanding of Christianity or is contemplating the best bitches worth fucking the best we can do? This attitude seems to be the case for many living in the world.

If you would kindly avoid this sort of commentary and resume the conversation in which you also have a role it would, for this participant, be appreciated.

Some people with a need for meaning seek to understand and contemplate the deeper meanings within Christianity. Others are content to contemplate after watching modern movies, which bitches are worth fucking. Which path provides meaning is your choice.

If you think that referring to "contemplating the best bitches worth fucking" is okay they I have to put you in the same category as the others.

What kind of ridiculous forum is this?
