In my defense, he didn't state anywhere that he thought it was extraterrestrial. So, wouldn't it be safe to assume he was asking about composition? Considering he was secretive at first for reasons I still don't understand, I think a lump of iron ore gets a grats. Now, if it's actually what that website says...geez.

you were a dick, are a dick and will always be a dick. Now that we all now is better for us.

Oh, ok, I see it now. Thanks Numbers!

Yes, I was being a dick, ever so slightly. Convo deserved it for leaving out vital parts of information and question.

Actually, I originally asked for a geologist to PM me. I only posted it because I was asked to.. I didn't want to say what I thought it was because I wanted real feedback from people who actually know this shit... That's why I listed the information the way I did. Anyone into meteorites would have picked up on the weight(very heavy for it's size) and how magnetic it was. Those are indicators of a possible meteorite. Your feedback was fine until the end when you were being a dick... then you continued to be a dick, most likely, because you're a dick...

Anyway, an expert got back to me and advised me to have it tested. So that's the plan now.

Oh, my bad! Dense and really magnetic, that doesn't occur on earth at all. You're right, that should have totally tingled my "this is a meteorite!" senses. I'll make sure to consult my "Is this dumbass vaguely asking about a meteorite?" handbook next time. I mean, I have one on me at all times, right next to the miniature Constitution that Dennis Kucinich gave me. I really don't know why I didn't use it.

You alluded to having some hot shit, but based on the information given, to most people here, looked like a lump of iron ore. You deserved the slight ribbing you got.

Eh..I'm not looking to shit up this thread any longer. Thx for the help guys. Ill post the lab results when I get them.

It's been a few days. My infant son has turned into captain cockblock.

But I doubt it's related. I don't see how anyone would like being called a dick for what was initially intended as helpful.

It was helpful. It still could just be a magnetic ingot of who the fuck knows how it got in that creek iron. It doesn't have to be spacemetal, even if it could be!

Put it in the fire, see if any elvish lettering appears.

Edit: For science.

Sciencebros, I have a short question, because I fail at google.

Im searching for the term/law/whatever, describing the probability an experiment has to reach to actually count as true. You know, when they allegedly found the Higgs-Boson-particle and had to keep going for several months, when they could declare that, indeed they found it.

I have no idea, if its clear what I am looking for. I blame the booze and bachelor-thesis (Not in physics luckily), which fucks up my brain.

This video came up on my "Recommended" Youtube videos last night.

Be forewarned that, although it seems the he is trying to target laypersons to some degree, there are a shitload of equations that get thrown around pretty quickly- and fuck if I know whether any of it is legitimate or it belongs in the Lumie thread. Regardless, I watched this one and one other one last night and found them to be interesting.

I was watching it on the PS3 so I couldn't read the comments last night but I see this morning that the video linked below is well into the series so it would probably be worth it, if you are into this kind of stuff, to go back to the beginning. I have a tendency to nod off when watching something like this late at night so I'm actually going to start with video 1 this weekend and see if I can pick up anything.

TLDR/W: Time is multi-dimensional. This explains a lot of shit.

I don't know much, but I know that Einstein had 7 arrows of time... and I even used to know what that meant. Kinda.

Been seeing some stuff on Nuclear Fusion lately.
BBC News - UK centre to shoot for nuclear fusion record
The temperature inside Jet during one of its full power shots can soar to a scorching 200 million C. That's more than 10 times the temperature at the centre of the Sun - estimated to be about 15 million C.

Then saw this:

Between this, renewables, and some of the promising new battery tech we're seeing...could be an exciting time in 20 or so years.

That time video was really fucking interesting. Completely out of my depth and I wonder how much of it is two schools arguing against each other, and how much of it is confirmable through observation and (more importantly) prediction.

If it really DOES completely sidestep the problems with dark matter (just making completely unrelated new shit up so that theory will fit observation, rather than refining previous theory)... I kinda wonder why no one is really flocking to it.

Or maybe they are, and maybe these sorts of ideas take decades to filter through the academic community.

Yeah, they certainly were going out of their way to show how aspects of the theories provide answers for a lot of open questions, particularly dark matter and dark energy, which have always sort of felt like a placeholder to me. I had heard previously about VSL but this was the first I had heard of "tired light" as an explanation for red shift. I'm not quite clear on how that tied into time theories but it is apparently considered fringe science. I'm going to look at his channel and try to find the first one in the series.
