If someone with a reason disagrees then he or she disagrees and there
should be a discussion. If you disagree, you are nothing and no one

...and this thing you call a "habitable zone"..

based on
a fairy tale.. GoldiLocks and the Three Bears
based on
a cosmic religion, called 'the anthropic principle'

the anthropic principle is not even Science, it's LSD.

Why not just call "habitable zone" , nam myoho renge kyo?

Or, "the baby's soup".

Or "the little bowl in the middle."


But "the habitable zone" sounds too much like...

Depends on whether you find the input
or output side more important. My hobby
ignores what things are in favor or modeling
behavior, the output side. Since an orbit is
an orbit is an orbit whether we're talking about
a planet,or a ball on a string. Behavior, the output
side, is universal, while the input side (what things
actually are) is unique to each and every thing.

Universal laws, or the information which tells us
what is common among all things, is best found
in behavior. A holistic frame of reference.

If gravity and biological fitness behave much
in the same way, what is the common element?

Hint; the interaction among variables is 'complex'
in both, using the term complex as defined
by Complexity Science.

Whether a gravity well, or a fitness peak, the
two share similar forms.

One, the higher the peak, the larger the
basin of attraction.
Two, higher peaks tend to clump together
on the possibility landscape.

Combine those two, and any random path through
such a landscape, is more likely to fall into a region
of higher gravity/fitness than a lower one. Chance
favors order. See random boolean networks.

Order for free! The universe is biased towards
order and creation. Randomness or complexity
at the part level, 'sums over' to order on the
system level.

There is one problem that never really gets addressed in these cosmic
measurements is that we are seeing nothing at the same time ... We
don't see "now" ...
We see the moon 1 1/2 seconds ago ... the sun a little over 8 minutes
ago ...Mars 34 minutes Saturn 80 minutes ... Alpha Centauri 4 years
ago ... The farthest star about 15000 years ago ... that light from
Andromeda is 2.5 million years ago ... all these we see with our own
eyes ... Hubble has increased that to 13.2 billion years ago ...
So what we see in the sky is a glimpse of the entire history of the
universe ... and not a snapshot of "now" ...
Even someone standing 5 feet away from you ...
even in the picoseconds it takes to we see them ... hundreds of
neutrinos have passed through their bodies ...

I don't know who is including sci-fi in the headers and bundling it
with sci.relativity but it is a stroke of brilliance.

You haven't a clue what Isaac was doing apart from chanting voodoo
about an 'inverse square law' and pointing in the direction of
Kepler.What Newton did was try and set the planets moving in a
clockwork solar system and the original guys loved it as it seemed to
answer all the questions they never asked but then everyone
discovered they hated it and then they couldn't stand it,even invented
time travel to escape the damn thing.Yet nobody can say what the
'theory of gravity' where an apple falls and it has something to do
with the moon orbiting the Earth and the Earth orbiting the Sun.

Unlike a lot of men who couldn't figure out what Isaac did,I enjoyed
the puzzle that took about a decade to crack even if it was only going
on in the background and I wasn't desperate or focused on getting to
the bottom of things.Still,guys should really have a look at what
Kepler did as it is not difficult at all much less a 'law of
motion'.Here is Isaac merrily chanting voodoo at Kepler's view for
what became the so-called 'inverse square' law so lets get that out of
the way -

"That the fixed stars being at rest, the periodic times of the five
primary planets, and (whether of the sun about the earth, or) of the
earth about the sun, are in the sesquiplicate proportion of their mean
distances from the sun." Newton

Well Kepler didn't say anything close to that and if a few readers
have enough patience they can see there is no real mystery to Kepler's
observation that the time a planet travels around the Sun is related
to its distance -

"The proportion existing between the periodic times of any two planets
is exactly the sesquiplicate proportion of the mean distances of the
orbits, or as generally given,the squares of the periodic times are
proportional to the cubes of the mean distances." Kepler

No need to panic,he explains it fully so that only the rednecks won't
get it as usual -

But it is absolutely certain and exact that the ratio which exists
between the periodic times of any two planets is precisely the ratio
of the 3/2th power of the mean distances, i.e., of the spheres
themselves; provided, however, that the arithmetic mean between both
diameters of the elliptic orbit be slightly less than the longer
diameter. And so if any one take the period, say, of the Earth, which
is one year, and the period of Saturn, which is thirty years, and
extract the cube roots of this ratio and then square the ensuing
ratio
by squaring the cube roots, he will have as his numerical products the
most just ratio of the distances of the Earth and Saturn from the sun.
For the cube root of 1 is 1, and the square of it is 1; and the cube
root of 30 is greater than 3, and therefore the square of it is
greater than 9. And Saturn, at its mean distance from the sun, is
slightly higher than nine times the mean distance of the Earth from
the sun." Kepler

Now,if anyone can get from an apple falling from a tree to planetary
dynamics through Kepler's observation they are going to have to chant
a lot of voodoo but personally speaking, what Newton tried to do is
far more interesting if it is treated like a detective story and a
crime scene.

Throop, tap-dancing:

"Let there be given a stationary rigid rod; and let its length be L as

the axis of the rod lying along the axis of x of the stationary system of
co-ordinates, and that a uniform motion of parallel translation with

"This we shall determine on the basis of our two principles, and we shall

"xi = (x-vt)/sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2)" -- Einstein.

Yep, xi differs from L, Greek letters differ from Roman letters.

In agreement with experience we further assume the deranged babbling
incompetent cretin couldn't answer his own inquiry, he was too stupid
to realise xi is greater than L when he wrote 'for v=c all moving
objects--viewed from the "stationary'' system--shrivel up into plane

sqrt(1-c^2/c^2) = 0.


"But the ray moves relatively to the initial point of k, when measured in
the stationary system, with the velocity c-v" - Einstein
"the velocity of light in our theory plays the part, physically, of an
infinitely great velocity" - Einstein.
"In agreement with experience we further assume the quantity
2AB/(t'A -tA) = c to be a universal constant--the velocity of light in
empty space." -- Einstein
He was right. The distance from A to A divided by the time it takes
to get there is undefined. Anyone that divides by zero is a lunatic.

muffs this simple distinctions of which system is being used, and the
distinction between coordinates and intervals.

: "But the ray moves relatively to the initial point of k, when measured
: in the stationary system, with the velocity c-v" - Einstein

Another case in point, he doesn't realize that c-v is neither
a velocity in the stationary system, nor in the moving system, because
it's the ratio of a separation of two moving points in the stationary system.
Somehow, Androcles mangles this, and comes up with the bizarre meaning
of c-v being the velocity in the moving system. Go figure.

: "the velocity of light in our theory plays the part, physically, of an

Here he's confusing "plays the part of infinity" with "is infinite".

In fact... he's basically a very very confused relativity crank.
Is it any wonder he's so grumpy?

Yes, well, you'd have to do that, wouldn't you.
Or you'd actually have to think. Something you're not very good at.
Keeping track of the distinctions between coordinates and intervals,
stationary muons vs stationary clocks. So many things to keep track of;
no wonder you don't try.

But there's a difference between Complexity Science
and classical approaches. Instead of observing a system
near equilibrium to understand it's relationships and
form, the idea is to disturb a system and see how it
responds as a way of understanding the inner system
mechanisms and relationships.

How long a system takes to return to equilibrium
shows what's going on inside. Since a complex
dynamic system may be a galaxy, an emotion or
an idea, this allows a ...single mathematics to apply
universally to any such complex collection of components
...regardless of their different natures.

The only thing that is universal is how things change.

Let me explain what "the habitable zone" is...

The habitable zone is the region
around a star where a planet with
sufficient atmospheric pressure can
maintain trees and plants on its surface.

It is the trees and the plants that make...Ocean.
It is the trees and the plants that make...Fishes.
It is the trees and the plants that make...People.

Why do you think people, here...
suggest I should go back to my tree?

They don't suggest that I should go back to the ocean.

Cause they know...people come from trees.

I've have emperical edvidence of this.

..there愀 no question or discussion about it.


The Starmaker

Any kids out there going to skool tomorrow, ask your teacher:

Where did the Ocean come from?
Where did the Fishes come from?
Where did the People come from?

If she doesn't answer "They all come from trees.", she is wrong!

there愀 no question or discussion about it.

Don't bother to switich to a different skool, all the teachers are dumb.

Bwhahahahahaha!
12 is a coordinate on a moving ruler, I don't seem to realize
it is the length 12 inches from the 0 coordinate on the moving
ruler. Perhaps the fucking clueless moron Throop can teach me
what the fuck a ruler measures and why rulers get LONGER when
they move.

: So, Throop, you made stinky poop when you said that a DIFFERENCE of
: "(c-v) is not a velocity but a ratio"!

It's a ratio of the a distance to a duration.
Specifically the change in distance between two moving points
to the time it takes for that change to occur.

What it isn't is the velocity of light in either moving or
stationary coordinates, since it's very explicit that it wrt
the origin of the moving coordinates, but in stationary coordinates.

See, that's because a "velocity in a system of coordinates" is
the rate of change in location in those coordinates to time in those
coordinates. Which, clearly and explicitly is not the case here;
instead, it's a change in distance over change in time.

There's that "can't tell a coordinate from a distance" thing
that apparently both you and Androcles have going.

: And your other poop, Throop, is your interpretation of Einstein's

Yeah,poor proofreading,I have been known for that.

I like the visitors from the sci-fi forum,they don't actually add
anything to the sci.relativity forum other than present themselves as
the final flower of the vicious strain of empiricism that started with
Isaac and his all-singing-all-dancing 'theory of gravity'.The fact is
that you could find the relativity ideology on a shelf in a bookstore
in the late 19th century hardly matters to people who blur the
boundaries between fact and fiction but from my point of view,all they
did when they tried to escape Newton's clockwork solar system was ruin
a perfectly good science fiction novel which has a really nice ending
to it -

"‘Clearly,’ the Time Traveller proceeded, ‘any real body must have
extension in four directions: it must have Length, Breadth, Thickness,
and—Duration. But through a natural infirmity of the flesh, which I
will explain to you in a moment, we incline to overlook this fact.
There are really four dimensions, three which we call the three planes
of Space, and a fourth, Time." The Time Machine 1898

http://www.bartleby.com/1000/1.html


Trying to shove a 4th dimension into a clock and suddenly a simple
device designed to keep a steady pace with the Earth's rotation
becomes a magical device sprouting 100 years worth of assertions and
counter assertions based on the idea that rulers measure distance and
clocks measure time.As accurate watches were designed as rulers of
distance through the Longitude problem,this sprawling history is
conveniently forgotten in order to spend 100 years acting out a
wordplay because not only could nobody figure out what Newton's
absolute/relative time,space and motions represents but they give it
a meaning Newton never intended - Groupthink

"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all
records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became
truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the
future: who controls the present controls the past...Day by day and
almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way
every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary
evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any
expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment,
ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest,
scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary." 1984
Orwell

To discuss relativity or even dissent requires that everyone wipes the
past clean and that the Longitude problem didn't exist nor the
technical details behind it,not just the promoters or relativity but
also the dissenters so any distinct differences are an illusion.

The thing about this is that there is an even more encompassing
version where people decided to blank the past and set up Newton as a
symbol just as they did Einstein.I read these papers before Newton's
Principia,descriptions from 1665 which speak of gravity laws of
mechanics/motion and the whole nine yards yet later empiricists treat
them as if they didn't exist and dump everything into Newton -

http://rstl.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/1/1-22/263.full.pdf+html


In short,relativity is a story inside a bigger story and a decade ago
you could probably get a small number of people to look at the bigger
picture,now the standard is so low that visitors from the sci-fi
forums have the same intellectual standing as the relativity promoters
and their dissenters.This was always going to happen and look around -
there are no new genuine discoveries in astronomy and terrestrial
science other than what is approved by groupthink/peer review.

No, that's true only if there's absolute time and space.
Which is the whole point of relativity; there supposedly isn't.

You *really* REALLY don't understand the implications of
relativity of simultaneity. It's one of the reasons you keep

Welcome in The Club, Andorkles.

But you will not deny one thing, will you, that it is within reach
for you to once-and-forever proof Einstein right:
Rent two HP 5071 A (advanced version with option 001)
book two seats with British Airways to Sydney, Australia,
one for you at the window, one for the travelling clock besides you,
convince the flight personnel that you are terrorist pensioner
and do not remove the mobile clock during your stay in
Australia but leave it seated for the return flight.
Back home do the obvious.

Your goal is to get a time dilatation of about 30 nanoseconds,
because that's what other people already found out.
(It's 28 nsec from Frankfurt/Germany)

You will become famous then as the 1001st person
who did that test.

...Time travel? Note that just having Lorentz contraction equations sitting
around isn't anywhere near the same thing as actual relativity; it was known
beforehand how to -describe- what seemed to be happening, but not why. Einstein
showed how to derive it by changing one axiom (from "the speed of light, like
all other speeds, varies according to what moving frame you're in" to "the
speed of light is constant in every inertial reference frame"), and then
everything else falls out from that. Neither is saying "Time acts like a
fourth dimension" anywhere near actual relativity.

And 1905 isn't "late 19th century".

>To discuss relativity or even dissent requires that everyone wipes the
>past clean and that the Longitude problem didn't exist

Oriel dear, the longitude problem was _precisely_ that it wasn't possible
to calculate how far east or west you'd traveled, from the stars visible at
night alone, without ALSO knowing accurately what time it currently was. And
relies _deeply_ on knowing that the stars don't come back to the same place
in 24 hours. You _have_ looked into what the words you're spouting mean,
haven't you?

Nothing about relativity changes the length of the sidereal day (or the solar
day either).

Dave, but since you're scared crapless away from taking actual observations
through an actual telescope and noting down actual data, I don't expect any
of this to make more than a soft whoosing sound in your ears

Of course he denies it. A clock that works by mere vibrations of
this-or-that (atoms/crystals/tuning-forks/whatnot) can't prove Einstein
right, since maybe it's affected by something that happens to have
similar effects to time dilation.

He wants it done with a "light clock", such as described in various
gedankenexperiments; a light pulse bounces back and forth between two
mirrors, a round trip being one metaphorical tick of this clock.

He wishes to pose a heads-I-win-tails-you-lose dilemma, by supposing
that, if there is no time dilation with a different in gravitational
potential, then GR is wrong because it predicts time dilation.
However, if there *is* dilation, then SR/GR is wrong, because that
proves light didn't move the same speed wrt the two clocks.

He *actually* *supposes* that GR is self-contradictory on these grounds.

Of course, the bits he overlooks are

1) the assertion that light always has the same speed in that
simplistic sense is only wrt an *inertial* frame. Neither of
the two clocks are at rest in an inertial frame. This by
itself is enough to render his argument bogus, but there's
also the issue of

2) he hasn't ruled out length contractions which would account
for the time dilation while preserving the speed of light
(after all, that's how it's done in SR, pretty much).
(Of course he doesn't understand SR either, mostly because
he has yet to wrap his brain around relativity of simultaneity.)

Of course, anybody looking at it from the perspective of the equivalence
principle can see that (1) is most likely the important factor; any
mirror towards which the light is moving has been accelerated away from
its position in the momentarily comoving inertial frame at the time the
light pulse started towards it.

Of course, Androcles and hanson will now say many rude and dismissive
things. They really can't help themselves. But the fact remains,
this attempt to cause either alternative to falsify GR is bogus,
because the experiment doesn't establish that lightspeed isn't
universal. It is doubtful either of them realize why this is so.
Their preconceptions cloud their minds, much like Lamont Cranston.

"Oh God, you *are* crazy! You're a damn, damn necrophiliac!

The problem is not relativists as they exercise groupthink,it is the
standard of dissent which doesn't really exist other than to reinforce
groupthink and insulates the problem to relativity rather than
widening the circle of technical and historical details right back to
Copernicus.I see these guy go into huge detail to rail against
Einstein who is merely a symbol for the early 20th century groupthink
when they could no longer bear Newton's clockwork solar system so they
did to Einstein what they did to Newton back in the late 17th century
by elevating a man and his wordplays into something ridiculous -

"There goes the man that writt a book that neither he nor anybody else
understands." Comment on the Principia

The fact is that I do understand technically what Newton tried to do
like nobody else ever could but I soon discovered that the whole
point of the vicious strain of empiricism is to keep it muddied and
unintelligible.Relativity basically uses the text of the Principia
against itself to escape the clockwork solar system which the 'theory
of gravity' represents and into the multi-colored and gaudy world of
late 19th century sci-fi.


Whoever pulled the masterstroke of mixing a sci-fi forum with
relativity deserves an award of some kind for anyone who can tell the
fictional novel of Well's apart from relativity will have an extremely
difficult job -


"'Really this is what is meant by the Fourth Dimension, though some
people who talk about the Fourth Dimension do not know they mean it.

"What does the word 'spacetime' mean? - It means that in our universe,

object which has 4 dimensions. All physical laws and phenomena seem to

what Einstein's relativity theories were all about. " Gravity probe b

That's only a GIF animation.
You fall back into the same behaviour you would critizise the Einstein
dingleberries for. Instead of a real measurement, or a physics
experiment you produce nice fantasy illustrations
out from your dreams. Fantasy crap.

Now you are retreating on the position of a small animal in fear
of the great bear:
You sit ontop on the smallest branches of the tree, the bear, would he
climb up there, would fall down because the small twigs won't carry
him. You are safe, you think. Only you forget that you will also fall
down when the bear falls.

Your tree is your fantasy light clock, a non-existing device, on which
you build your retreat castle. Only then, you say, only when the light
clock spares 28 nanoseconds from London to Boston, only then you
will admit that Einstein was right and you were wrong all your life,
knowing you are safe because there is no such thing as a "light
clock". What a dreary end for an otherwise intelligent man.

So... what you are saying, since you are dissenting, is that you,

Look. Nobody's oppressing you or censoring your ... discussions.

The *reason* nobody picks up your ... ideas, is that they are

"groupthink".

You *do* know that Galileo invented relativity, right?
You *do* know that Newtonian mechanics is perfectly Copernican, right?
Pfft, what am I saying, of *course* you don't know. It would require
you to take off your monomania-tinted glasses, and actually look at
the facts of the matter.

: Whoever pulled the masterstroke of mixing a sci-fi forum with

It's a standard trolling technique. Done by a standard troll.
Your monomania has brought you to this moral nadir of admiring a troll.
This is part of why your presentations aren't persuasive. Not a
logical reason, but if somebody sinks to admiring Starmaker, it's
not a good sign for soundness of thinking.

But of course, soundness of thinking is not one of your goals.
Indeed, exactly the opposite. Better to be "intuitive" than logical.
Better to be intuitive even in self-contradiction. Even if you have
to ignore the evidence. All reasons your presentations aren't persuasive.

You present very *very* little evidence of it.
For one self-indictment, you say that you read the principia "like
a newspaper". There's a problem right there. It really wasn't meant
to be read "like a newspaper". For another, you criticize Newtonian
mechanics because the principia is a bit hard to understand. As if it
were relevant. In the hundreds of years since then, things have been made
much easier to understand, and the reasons Newtonian mechanics reinforce
Copernicus and Kepler rather than refute then, are now well known.
If you keep insisting that Newton is anti-Copernican, then you won't
persuade folks who knows where their towels are.

Actually, if you pay attention, he's set it up so he never has to
admit it. Certainly not due to velocity-based time dilation. First,
because he's only concerned with gravitational time dilation. And second,
he supposes the possible results (ie, time difference or lack thereof)
will *both* refute relativity.

Of course, he's wrong about that second. But since when has
Androcles ever realized when he's ham-fistedly misinterpreted what
relativity is all about?

Genius indeed !,you have a handful of guys in a few hundred years who
even bothered to consider what the hell the 'theory of gravity'
represented yet I can,even Mach couldn't make heads nor tails of
absolute/relative time although today's welfare empiricists gain their
wages and their reputations by not comprehending what Isaac was trying
to do -

"This absolute time can be measured by comparison with no motion; it
has therefore neither a practical nor a scientific value; and no one
is justified in saying that he knows aught about it. It is an idle
conception." Mach, Analyse der Empfindungen, 6th ed.

At least Mach and those people in his era desperately sought a way out
of the clockwork solar system and Newton's absolute/relative time but
as groupthink doesn't allow for unorthodox/normal thinking,they
eventually decided to conjure up magic and dump it into a clock.Even
if I explained a thousand times that Newton's absolute/relative time
is nothing more than his ham-fisted attempt to explain the difference
between the natural unequal noon AM/PM cycle and the equal 24 hour AM/
PM cycle it wouldn't matter,as again,too many wages are paid on the
basis of not understanding it -

"Absolute time, in astronomy, is distinguished from relative, by the
equation of time. For the natural days are truly unequal, though they
are commonly considered as equal and used for a measure of time;
astronomers correct this inequality for their accurate deducing of the
celestial motions." Principia

All this is fine and I can go through the motions of how he does this
here and then does that there but that would be wasting my time,I
already saw what they did in his era to accommodate the 'predictions'
elements which takes priority among that vicious strain of empiricism
and provides almost all of the impetus of turning him into a
'genius',more as a symbol for his followers than any of his dubious
assertions.If you can get the wider world to pay you for promoting a
'theory' that the promoters don't even understand themselves then I
suppose that is genius of a sort,more like criminal genius of course.


So, both the sci-fi forum and the relativity forum have the common
link where the fictional narrative and the formal version are
indistinguishable,not relative to each but absolutely the same.Have a
nice day ! -

"'Really this is what is meant by the Fourth Dimension, though some
people who talk about the Fourth Dimension do not know they mean it.
It is only another way of looking at Time. There is no difference
between time and any of the three dimensions of space " H.G. Wells

I approach Newton's agenda and the less effective story of relativity
as an observer and not a dissenter,after all,Wikipedia are unethically
now attempting to wreck my careful reasoning which connects rotational
dynamics with plate tectonics and planetary spherical deviation using
a common mechanism and consistent with a definitive rotational speed
of 1037.5 miles per hour.It is fine for you guys who can lounge about
with fiction,do nothing and probably get paid for it but some people
actually get work done.

It's not as if Newton is the first to relate the EoT to the actual motions
of the planets. Once you've deduced the earth's orbit, and realize that
the stars (other than the sun, since you like to pretend it doesn't
already mean that) are very far away, the EoT follows. Something evel
Keppler, or even Copernicus, would have been well aware of.

You can pretend it's all Newton's fault for being a nasty empericist,
but your seeming hero Copernicus was also an empericist, and also
deduced the actual physical motions from the apparent motions of
things in the sky.

If you really want to give up "deducing the celestial motions",
you're back to geocentrism, and crystal orbs.

Well, I was more pointing out the lack of evidence for the

Sure, he *interprets* Newton's motives and methods eccentrically,

his insistance that Newton abandoned Copernican heliocentrism
shows he not only hasn't a clue, he hasn't any suspicions.

It's a phrase you just made up, to pretend you mistook habitual for habitable.
But of course, even if something is "habitable" doesn't mean it's inhabited.
It *certainly* doesn't mean you're "going to get another earth". That
part, you're just making up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitable_zone
In astronomy and astrobiology, the habitable zone is the region
around a star where a planet with sufficient atmospheric pressure
can maintain liquid water on its surface.

It's been said that "When you fight with a pig you both get dirty -
but the pig likes it." Realize that 'Starmaker', 'Androcles', and
oriel36 are pigs; they don't have a point to make, they quite possibly
don't actually hold the positions they put forward here. But they know
that doing so winds people up, and they enjoy the attention.

They have nothing of interest to say, and aren't amenable to reason,
logic, or education.

Newton and Einstein are mere symbols but moreso Newton and it took a
while to figure out why -

http://rstl.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/1/1-22/263.full.pdf+html

Why would they wipe the past clean to accommodate Newton's 1689 view
when these views were more or less in circulation around 1666 as the
letter of Wallis to Boyle demonstrates.Not until I did original work
of my own on rotational dynamics and plate tectonics in tandem with
planetary spherical deviation did I witness productive work with
straightforward reasoning turn into a Frankenstein's monster concept
by people willing to throw every assertion possible at it.Having no
sense of style or care is one of the defining traits of empirical
groupthink,it saw the possibility of rotation as a mechanism for
crustal evolution/motion and the entire reasoning withers in the hands
of crude people who are used to destroying productive avenues of
investigation.

You are fine son,it is called protective stupidity and a trait of
groupthink with a large sci-fi element -

"Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct,
at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of
not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of
misunderstanding the simplest arguments... and of being bored or
repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a
heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity"
Orwell

It is a modern phenomenon and it is now totally unbiquitous for even
in the birthplace of the vicious strain of empiricism where they
model 3 months of drought while there are people drowning in their
cars,there is not the slightest trace of responsibility for the
predictions and that is a mere symptom of this bad empiricism.They
just wipe the slate clean as if the prediction never happened and that
is what goes on here day in and day out.


Met Office 3-month Outlook
Period: April – June 2012 Issue date: 23.03.12
SUMMARY – PRECIPITATION:
"The forecast for average UK rainfall slightly favours drier than
average conditions for April-May-June as a whole, and also slightly
favours April being the driest of the 3 months. With this forecast,
water resources situation in southern, eastern and central England
is likely to deteriorate further during the April-May-June period. The
probability that UK precipitation for April-May-June will fall into
the driest of our five categories is 20-25% whilst the probability
that it will fall into the wettest of our five categories is 10-15%
(the 197-2000 climatological probability for each of these categories
is 20%).
CONTEXT:
As a legacy of dry weather over many months water resources in much of
southern, eastern and central England remain at very low levels.
Winter rainfall in these areas has typically been about 70% of
average,whilst observations and current forecasts suggest that the
final totals for March will be below average here too. The Environment
Agency advises that, given the current state of soils and groundwater
levels in these areas, drought impacts in the coming months are
virtually inevitable."

No.

It also didn't mean it the other ten times you asked,
and were pointed to various definitions of the term.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-Earth
A super-Earth is an extrasolar planet with a mass higher than
Earth's, but substantially below the mass of the Solar System's
smaller gas giants Uranus and Neptune, which are both more or less
15 Earth masses.[1] The term super-Earth refers only to the mass of
the planet, and does not imply anything about the surface conditions
or habitability.

In short, a super-earth is a rocky planet more massive than the earth.
Nothing other than being rocky, and more massive, is expressed or implied.

This was oriel's utterly predictable response.

Oriel is demonstrating what I'm talking about. If it had shown itself
to be engaging in an actual discussion, in which both sides considered
the others arguments and were open of being persuaded, I'd be willing
to engage it in dialog. However, since, to the best of my knowledge,
Oriel, etal have *never* budged one iota from their ignorance, dialog
is impossible, and attempting it a fool's errand. You might as well
try to get a thoughtful, considered response from ELIZA. [Now there's

You'll have to be more specific about what slate, who wiped it, and why

Note that the cite you reference refers only to composition and mass,

also shows that not all super-earths occur in habitable zones. Finally,
it makes no mention or implication of "going to get an earth" as you

the term super-Earths refers to those planets that may well be rocky
bodies only a few times as massive as Earth.

No indication that super-earth's have to be in the habitable zone,
nor that they have to resemble earth much at all, other than "being rocky"

I have so little regard for empiricists that I presented the outlines
for differential rotation as the mechanism with the highest
probability for explaining crustal motion/evolution and planetary
spherical deviation on the unmoderated Usenet ,I had to considering
that all these geniuses can't handle simple things like the maximum
equatorial speed of 1037.5 miles per hour never mind the many other
components involved.

Of course they reacted by flinging every known assertion involving
rotation at the topic where you can read it in all its miserable
