It's been a while since I've been here so here is what I'm coming back with.
My first 2 forum entries:
Thread - E=MC2..Oh Really? Question: Scientists who have long claimed they know how it all works are now in a panic.
For years now, we alternative types have stated they have it a bit wrong.
But they had the math and experiments to prove magick and alternative beliefs were "Mumbo jumbo"
Now, it seems they are not so sure. Several leading scientists are coming out of the "closet" stating alternative universes that touch our own could be responsible for breaking Einsteins Golden rule of relativity. This rule is that Energy/ Mass and stuff in the universe cannot go faster than light.
Now they've discovered neutrino's that seem to break this golden rule.
My reply: Anyone who claims to know everything isn't a scientist first of all. And science has never claimed to "know it all".
Second, the neutrino event has NOT been validated, it could well have been just an error.
3rd, before you get your panties in a bunch just because we don't know something doesn't mean the moon is a goddess nor that the stars wield influence over our destinies.
As for dark energy and dark matter, quit reading into things. The "dark" is no more metaphysical than the hair on your head. It is simply a descriptive term, something science tends to do...describe things.
Dark energy = the as of yet unknown force causing the universes expansion to increase.
Dark matter = the unknown force keeping galaxies from flinging themselves apart as they should do under "normal" circumstances.
The issue of faster than light isn't that much of a bombshell in reality. During the inflationary period the entire universe expanded faster than light and even now galaxies at the far reaches of the universe are moving at 95%+ the speed of light. Matter can't travel faster than light, space on the other hand can and it does, many times the speed of light.
Multiple universes, dimensions etc has all been under serious research for decades now. We now believe that not only are multiple universe & extra dimensions possible but they may in fact be the reason for our existence.
Perhaps your "alternate beliefs" are nothing more than undiscovered science, as nearly all beliefs have been...except those proven wrong.
What isn't known is not mystical, it is simply not known. And things we may observe that haven't been explained is just that, hasn't yet been explained. Science as we know it is incredibly young and you're surprised that it doesn't have all the answers for a 14 billion year old universe? Please. Science is the tool with which we find answers and nothing more; and it's generally all we need because if something can't be observed, if it can't be tested then any reasonable person must say "it may not be at all."

Thread - Infection Question: My question is this: As humans continue to tear up land and move deeper into once protected areas, like rain forests, and as we continue to populate and make more enemies, new emerging, and re-emerging infections have definitely become a problem.
Do you think it's possible that a widespread infection (whether terrorist or just accidentily brought here) is something likely to happen?
My Reply: Of course a massive pandemic will happen, they happen all the time relatively speaking. The real question is will the government overstep its bounds especially in the case of limited infection spreads. The gov has a tremendous amount of power (unconstitutionally) that rests in the hands of a few, mostly unqualified, people except for the fact they have power. That's what I worry about.
Killing the planet and the evil humans getting sick from it is just silly in my opinion. Nature is not a thing, it is the collection of all things with NO will or consciousness of its own. The Earth can't fight back, it can however respond to changes in the same way a tree moves its branches to reach sunlight aka basic chemical reactions and simple feedback systems. Humans are a part of nature no less and no more than the ants we step on and our actions are exactly what "nature" allowed because we evolved them, thus cars are natural. Animals wreck the environment and kill each other the same as humans the only difference is we can do it on a larger scale.
Now, part of infection and virus adaptation isn't from us uncovering some disease in a newly cleared forest but the act of infecting itself. When I get sick and pass it to someone else my immune system and the other persons' immune system will attack the virus or bacteria and the infectious agent will adapt to those attacks possibly turning itself into an even more dangerous disease over the course of time. Whether from deforestation, human to human or animal to human transmissions we will see new diseases and time to time many millions will die.
The sad part is government also permits tens of millions to die for the sake of insects. In the case of DDT and malaria our all knowing all wise governments (at the behest of self serving "uber" environmentalists and weak will of Western citizens) have said the illness of 3 billion humans is worth the protection of a a bird (look it up). When we have the means to save millions of lives but don't, there's your evil.
