If you think other sciences use common sense to be the decider, then you are sadly deluded.

Really, Phil? How does that sentence imply that time is warped? Perhaps if you read the article and had a little background in electromagnetic theory you would understand instead of making wild assed assertions. > > > Doug really stuffed you with overconfidence... Well since I can read the article and comprehend it, and you can do neither, I'd say I earned my overconfidence.

He's no god. Just a physicist. Happened to get a few things right. > to obtain grants and cancel any challenge. First you have to mount a challenge. If you enter a boxing ring with a world-class boxer and say, "I challenge you!," trust me, that's no challenge. |
