    Can Scientific Methods Validate Paranormal Phenomena Like Glass Moving Séances?

    Is everyone who has lied once in their life a liar? If yes it not a very useful definition then. The article does not show that he did it intentionally either, or that it was malicious. He may have been misinformed we can not tell, and the article does not try to either. How do you get this...

    Can Scientific Methods Validate Paranormal Phenomena Like Glass Moving Séances?

    I do not have to read the other articles to know that it does not debunk Randi, since those articles do not deal with Randi! I read that link too since there since they lined it under the heading " Randi's dishonest claims." Randi admitted that he made a rash decision. This is not a debunk...

    Debunking the Moon Landing Hoax Theory

    That is the emtional agurment that is used the most Pengwuino. You distrust the governement on other things so distrust the governemnt on this too! If anything this is not a reason to believe the moon landing was hoaxed, rather it may be a reason to invesigate all claims the government makes...

    Can Scientific Methods Validate Paranormal Phenomena Like Glass Moving Séances?

    The first link is very much a crack pot site. The following quote is his against Randi. "Authority does not rest with scientists, when emotion, need and desperation are involved. Scientists are human beings, too, and can be deceived and self-deceived." What is wrong with that, scientist some...

    Can Scientific Methods Validate Paranormal Phenomena Like Glass Moving Séances?

    If our testing methods don’t work we can always make new ones. The phenomena have to be controlled or consistent enough to obtain statistically significant data though, otherwise no progress can be made on the subject. If no progress is possible or if there is very little chance of progress...

    Debunking the Moon Landing Hoax Theory

    Banned for asking a question? The mentors are not head hunters looking for their next trophy ban. :-p I would not waste my time with those sites. They are not to be taken seriously. There is also the fox special and a few other "moon hoax" videos floating about, the arguments are never...

    Physics Q&A Game: Calculate Minimum Power for Man-Powered Helicopter

    Mind posting some links to some pictures, it would help with understanding of the watches workings which seems necessary to solve the problem. I have found: http://www.timezone.com/library/horologium/horologium631673198118416858...

    Calculating Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)

    What did you change asher. You have "printf("Enter your gender(m or f): ");" out side of the loop, but franznietzsche already did that.

    Physics Q&A Game: Calculate Minimum Power for Man-Powered Helicopter

    Well he did find them floating in space and still in working condition that places some restraint on the temperature. I guess I was still going off the original "no calculations necessary." means of interaction: electromagnetic "touch effects" or physical contact electromagnetic...

    Does Black Hole Entropy Change Instantly or Travel Across the Surface?

    I ment a ripple of the event horizon from the mass passing through the horizon. This is what Mike2 seemed to be referring to, though the question was ill formed to start out with.

    Does Black Hole Entropy Change Instantly or Travel Across the Surface?

    I like Crosson answer. Entropy is not something physical or an observable like position momentum or energy. The surface area(if we can call it a surface) increases with the amount of mass absorbed by the black hole. The radius can be found by setting the classical escape velocity to c...

    HS students: what's a 'C' on your grade scale?

    Why do they do this? Does someone high up in the school district decide that too many people are getting A's or C's. Do high schools get a rep if not enough people fail? Help the local economy by making sure not enough people go to college? :wink: My old high school AP class 5.0 100...

    Calculating Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)

    So it willl not reask the question if the user enters in the wrong input? Enter your gender(m or f):h j k l m How much do you weigh (yes, your real weight): Something like that? It is also odd that it is not ignored in the first place scanf is supposed to ignore leading...

    Calculating Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)

    Sounds like you just need to burn the newline then. scanf(%c,&gender); while(... It also sounds like two spreate return chars are being used by the console and scanf only burns the first of the two. I think they are called newline and the return carriage. The console is putting them...

    Calculating Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)

    Question is it 10 each time? Or does it change each time you run the program?
