So to sum up. Scientists are people, and people fuck up.

Got it!

How about this idea for global warming. Freshly pulled from my ass. A whole bunch of different things are impacting the planet. Good, bad and indifferent. How about each of does what we want, and stop pissing into the wind that keeps splattering on everyone's shoes. You want to recycle, great knock yourself the fuck out. But stop fucking Jehovah's witnessing to everyone else.

God damned Global Warming Jehovah's.

Ya great, let's all just do what we want. Your hillbilly neighbor wants to dump 5 quarts of used motor oil in the stream behind your house? Go for it bro! Fuck NEPA and all those liberal environmental regs man! (ignore that it was signed into law by Nixon the arch conservative) This is America and we love Freedom! And titties...we love big ass titties.

You have somehow come up with the worst fucking idea ever when talking about the environment.

I was thinking about scientific dogma earlier. Because it's difficult to prove with 100% certainty the how and why of complex systems in our universe, the human penchant for having a dogmatic and stubborn attachment to our own beliefs can be important because it adds diverse paths to the pursuit of sciences. If everyone more readily agreed on a given explanation that seemed provably true, I feel like we'd make fewer discoveries as scientists would spend less effort doing crazy shit and discovering things.

In other words, if Captain Kirk was a Vulcan, the enterprise would've been destroyed every episode!

But gee Brain, how are we going to achieve highest server wide DPS using 5 computers at the same time?

I like this. We need our Tanoombas and Lumies and a_skeleton_03s.

May I bring evolution into this science thread?

In Africa, if all of the lions went extinct tonight, we would soon find that gazelles would very slowly stop being gazelles and would start to become something else entirely. Oprah gazelles. Wall-E style Floating-People type gazelles. They would no longer need to be the lean mean fleeing-machine that they currently are. It is the very lions themselves that make gazelles what they are....gazelles. And it is also the nature of the fast and jinking and quick and lean nature of gazelles themselves that force the lions to become what they must be, lions.

Yang and Ying. Light and Dark. Vulcans and Humans. Science and Religion. Lions and Gazelles.

I can see the balance. The giant circular Teeter-Totter of it all. I really can. I suppose I choose to be on one specific end of the teeter totter, even if I can acknowledge the existence of it and those who occupy it to counter-weight me.

Don't think evolution works that way, but you're saying science makes people more religious and religion makes science based people more sciencey?

I agree with half of that

Lions are only as fast and as strong as they have to be, that part I definitely believe. But no I don't really think religion makes sciencey people more sciencey. Nature provides all the reasons we need to be sciencey. We can safely drop the fables, of that I am quite sure. I was just having fun more than anything.

I don't even know where to begin with this. First of all, gravitational pull most certainly DOES effect spectral lines, as has been determined with extremely specific emission lines on earth [pound-rebka]. The reason they are exactly the same here and on the sun is due to the fact that spectral lines are a bit fuzzy, and all spectral lines on the sun come from the upper atmosphere, which is gravitationally not that different than earth. Even if you went down to the surface of the sun, its what, twice the gravity of the earth? That's not enough to produce a statistically relevant answer, unless you created a very specific emission line. Perhaps you are referring to the spacing between lines always being constant even when shifted? I can talk on that subject if you want.

Unfortunately, the sun has no emission lines, since it is a black body. Actually, most shit in nature is black bodied. Natural bodies are extremely poor for this sort of experiment.

Sun surface gravity is 28 times that of earth. Not twice of earth. Around 274 m/ss

I don't know how much I can trust someone when it comes to discussing gravity if they recently thought the sun's surface gravity was 2g.
