I actually don't choose any of the above because at one point some of those options will take place during a span of seven years. Yes I am referring to the actual apocalypse as written in the Book of Revelation. While I have a scientist's hard hat I...  [Read More]

I choose the final option because it most closely represents the predicted model. All life on this planet would most likely be dead and gone (the conditions necessary to support life having dissipated) long before the sun's final throes....  [Read More]

I think we may never have all the information. I agree with DE that there are some holes in Loose Change specifically but there are other materials out there that do raise some interesting questions. Sadly, many of the rebuttal sites are no better th...  [Read More]

What matters now is how the people who did it are dealt with from here on. I disagree on the basis of the point that I initially raised: Bush lied. I think that still needs to be addressed/acknowledged....  [Read More]

Very true. I'm sure that they was other means of seeing the first plane; people were there, and someone had to have something on them to record them, at least one would think... No one had any reason to be filming the first tower when the plane struc...  [Read More]

They are millions of people in the city, and that means millions of cell phones taking videos/pictures of what happened. No doubt, but that is not the same thing as seeing it broadcast on tv. :) There were no broadcasts of the first plane hitting th...  [Read More]

Not all broadcasts were of the second plane, because the teachers in my school ( which was north of NYC.) saw the first plane crash.Really? How? The only way that would be possible is if the media had been alerted to a crash and had a camera there to...  [Read More]

That would depend on what we learned about it when it was verified. Based on my understanding of what we've been able to hypothesize thus far about tachyons is that they can never slow down enough to approach the speed of light. Therefore, on this si...  [Read More]

You're confusing the scientific term "theory" with the lay usage (which would most closely translate to "hypothetical"). To say something is theory is to say that we understand it extremely well. To say that FTL is theoretically i...  [Read More]
