Topic: Scientists

if there are any scientists or people who are interested in science please share with me some of your theories like Blasters can they work or the Bermuda Triangle mystery. Or even something else.

I know I'm only 14 but I like to think about this stuff all the time I have a theory for the Bermuda Triangle though well magnetic pole that's it that's all it is I think I mean, it's just theory. And also blasters sure it's kinda complicated though OK let's see of course you'll need some kind of a laser transmitter and a couple of mirrors perhaps I'm still thinking on this one thuogh.

eh.. Bermuda triangle. Lots of speculation, mostly I think maybe it's just a bad spot due to other conditions: weather, currents, and the like.

For example: I live in a spot that gets FREAKILY different weather from downtown Denver, 40 miles north. Plus or minus a few foothills and about 1000 ft altitude, we're not that much different from them. Even areas 10-20 miles east of us get the same weather as Denver.
We'll have freak thunderstorms that never get reported, a foot more snow, or not a drop of rain while they get pounded.
The Colorado school of Mines has even done research on why we get such weird weather.
So, are we in some freaky Oh-mi-gosh there's a magnetic field afoot???
No, I think it's just the way the topography influences the weather.
Not everything has to have a fantastic out-of-this-world explaination.

What about the Dragon Triangle in the east?

What about Cryptids (Hidden animals) like Nessie, Bigfoot and Thylacines?

As far as blasters go this as far along as we are right now. http://www.military.com/soldiertech/0,14632,Soldiertech_ABL,00.html
Not very practical as for rail guns they are as big as the main guns on a battle ship.
Science will never believe in Bigfoot until they have a specimen, no bodies have been found in the wild so therefore they don't exist, wait no bear carcases have been found in the wild that have died from natural causes so from a scientific point of view they don't exist either right.  As for the Bermuda triangle their are several theories from Aliens to black holes, but the facts are this it is known to have large deposits of methane gas frozen under ground and their are faults that run under the Caribbean so if their is a slight shift then the frozen methane hits the warm tropical waters releasing the gas into the water, if a ship were to be sailing over were the gas was heading to the surface it would lose buoyancy and sink very rapidly. When methane is in the atmosphere plane engines stall out because the air fuel mixture is out of proportion.

I was JUST about to say that about the Triangle, Wizard, but you beat me to it!

I believe the universe is going to start collapsing back in on itself.. instead of stretching infinitely outward as it is now.

As for Bigfoot and the others, I am actually afraid to research them. Not because I'm afraid of what i will find, but who I will find. Those conspiricy theorists are nutbags. There was one on an old forum of mine, and he tried to convince us that aliens were abducting cows near Utah... and that there were crop circles apearing.

Oh and for those of you who find this type of thing interesting, we aren't that far from creating a working lightsaber. Not one that you could duel with... but a portable laser emitting tool for cutting open metal doors or quickly carving a path through rough terrain.

this isn't about conspiracies it's about scientific facts, there is a huge difference.

Bigfoot I don't know but Dragons exist they were probably evolutions from the dinosaurs but they died out quickly the environment was changing and they could not properly adapt to it.
Atlantis Myth? probably not. It was probably a great civilization that was destroyed in the middle of war probably when one of the empires was flourishing and then sank under the water. But, the whole idea of mermaids and mermen that's the myth part.

"Conspiracy Theorists" was a general term. Bigfoot, Atlantis, the Bermuda Triangle, and nearly everything else that has been discusted here was also talked of in the aforementioned topic.

I'm with Draco on this one. I was going to find that same thread and link to it, but he'd already done it.

Off topic, and expressing my opinion. But evolution is complete bull$#!+

That is not completely off topic, but I do wonder the reason for you quoting Fett3393. I do, however, agree with you.

He said: "Dragons exist they were probably evolutions from the dinosaurs but they died out quickly the environment was changing and they could not properly adapt to it." That's why I expressed my opinion.

Evolution is a pure fact. How is it that Raptors grew more birdlike over the years eventually causing the Archaeopterix to come to the scene? not evererything just poofed ang came to being it had to be created somehow, and don't say some bird got together with another bird cuz Archaeopterix was the first bird.

I apologize Revan. I do not believe in the evolution of humans.

Actually, Everything did just apear. God spoke the earth, and everything in it, into existance. He is God, He can do anything. You know it would do you some good to read the Bible.

yeah evolution of humans is crap but the dinosaurs evolved that can be proven(almost)

and I do read the bible but only the beginnings of Earth just appeared everything else had to create itself, create a society, and all of that.

Interesting.

dude, it is not all crap, I've checked it myself all of the evidence shows evolution exists(in dinosaurs and other beings of the time period) seriously how does a fossil of a veliciraptor first show only scales and no vocals, and then another fossil from years after that 1 show feathers and vocals, and then years later an Archaeopterix show up with traits almost identical to those of a velociraptor?

now do you see my point?

Okay. If they evolved, why are they not evolving right now?
No. I do not see your point.

because it takes a while and besides I bet some of them are like the endangered species most of them are coming back and some r a little different from what we first recorded(other scientists I mean)

and how can you not see my point it's in black and white
1.velociraptor is regular reptile
2. velociraptor changed and becomes more advanced
3.bird with same height, same shape, same average weight, same hunting styles appears.
4.velociraptors are dying out and Archaeopterix is growing in pop.(sorry, forgot to mention that part)

You still don't get it. Evolution was a theory. Nothing more.

so, it's a theory theories can be proven, in fact a bunch of theories have been proven over the past couple of years. And I heard evolution was on the verge of being proven we've gathered enuogh facts that it could be proven.

A theory. Nothing more.

yeah, and I beleive in it(somewhat anyway)

Yeah, and it clearly states evolution takes thousands, if not millions, of years. Besides, how do you know "God" exists? No one's ever seen him or anything.

do you have to see him to beleive him, I beleive he's real and besides talking about religious beleifs may offend some1

I've been offended plenty of times. Don't worry, they'll live. I'm not saying I want to offend someone, but really, no one should be offended. Everyone believes what they want to believe.

I know I just don't want to even ofend some1 in the place.

I doubt you will offend anyone. It's me you have to look out for.

Lol. I am not easily offended.

Uh-oh.. we've descended into the creation/evolution battle. Can't tell you how many times I got my butt toasted on other forums for the same thing.

I pray that you are on my side SD, but it seems we have strayed off topic.

Well it does have something to do with science.
Yes, I'm a Creationist. :D

The idea of a blaster is posible i beleive. It shoots beams, and the military just developed a beem gun that when the beem is on some one it makes them feel like they're on fire. some may say thats a lie but it was on the fox news network. and as for the bermuda triangle i beleive its just a portal to other planets or somthing, like come on we cant be the only things in the univurse.

I see now that you guys are talking about creationism and evolution, I dont see why only one theory has to be right I think that god created absolutly everything INCLUDING EVOLUTION, why not? evolutions not a bad thing and neither is creationism. I talked to really religious people about creationism being mixed with evolution they get so mad about it I really dont see why. But the whole adam and eve world created in 7 days thing thats all BULL CRAP if it were true we are all sinners cause we're all related and I do beleive that would be massive incest  (I dont know if im aloud to say that on this site so if im not, sorry)

*I must not get into this discussion*
I must not...
I must not...
I must not...

When you read it you find that there are actually three creation stories two in Genesis and one in John.  You have to remember that the people who wrote the Bible thought that the Earth was flat that the sun revolved around the Earth, science was the last thing on their minds. If H.G. Wells was correct and man was able to build a time machine, if you went back in time with something as simple as a cigarette lighter the power to make fire with the snap of a finger would elevate you to god status. Man is still evolving as is everything else it just takes a long time. The average Roman soldier was 4'11" the average European during the renaissance was 5'3" and now the average European is what 5'8 to 5'11".  Many factors contribute to these changes Diet, Climate, life expectancy, etc. Do not take what I have said as God does not exist, he does.  Just remember that nothing is cut and dry or that simple.

Incest was not a sin until the time of Moses, for good reason...it would be a little difficult to propogate the planet otherwise.

Time travel is the ultimate paradox.  So let's say you go back in time and change the name that your parents gave you.  So you've changed it and hold on a second, wouldn't that mean in the future you wouldn't even had reason to go back in time and change your name.  So where do you go from here.  And I am a creationist but I do believe in evolution within a species.  But evolution which changes into a complete new species is not possible.

http://www.archaeologyinfo.com/species.htm
Please look at the above site with an open mind. Also if everything were created a certain way why would whales have pelvic bones if they never walked on land?  When you read Time Machine it delves deeper into the further evolution of man where the two branches of Morlocks that live underground and the Eloi who live above ground.  With creation you close the door on the idea that their is life on other planets.

No you do not. I believe that God created the entire universe, and He gave orginisms to some of them.

Make it sound like its cat to a dog. No an organism couldnt change into a different species it evolves, it would be the same species, but with better qualities, the ability to learn, build, and survive better which is probably what happend to us. people say that evolution is impossible and its just the devil  so we're all going to hell if we beleive it. Evolution has basicly been proven. Bird depending on where they are, their beeks can change to different sizes, well the birds chicks beeks change. I dont remember to much how it went I learned it in science last year but i hate science class so i didnt pay too much attention. As for the dinosaurs? religious people claim satan put the bones in the ground to confuse them, WTH??

Ah, yes time travel, theoretically it is possible , not backwards though. You see if you can make a contained black hole then it will propel you through space and time. Also, different dimmensions exist as well. If any of you have a copy of Micheal Chriton's Timeline there are diagrams and explanations for different dimmensions in it.

lol.  That's as unscientific as it gets...I've never heard that one before, and I'm a Christian.  ^_^  I competely agree with you on that last point...
Microevolution has been proven, an pretty much all creationists agree on that as well.  But the changing beak sizes do not demonstrate macroevolution (the evolution into different species), as the birds remain the species they started as, their beaks only change to adapt to the environment, and once the environment reverts to it's old state, the birds compensate as well. 

Curious as to any evolutionists position on Irreducible Complexity?  ^_^  That's a fun one...go ahead and give it a shot.

I have a copy of Commander X's "Time Travel" book, annd it explains basicly the same thing.

They haven't proven different dimensions, that's based on string theory which is yet to be (if it even can be) validated. Chricton just writes as if it were a given, in order for his "time machine" to function. 
And please...don't take everything Chricton says as fact.  He's a suspense author, and whatever "research" he does is only to propel his story. 

But I agree that forward time travel is possible, according to Einsteins theory of relativity....we simply haven't advanced enough to put it realistically into action.

no I'm not saying all of the mixed "facts" in there I'm saying the actually stuff I was just using it as an example.

I can't believe that they are teaching Evolution in public Science classes.  Science as stated in my handy-dandy merriam-webster dictionary, is a knowledge or system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method.  In order to determine what is science we must have a consensus.  And there defiantly not a consensus on evolution.

What is so threatening about evolution? so what if we came from monkeys, that doesnt meen that there is no god. The beleif that we're the result of creationism and evolution togethor is more common now.
