Richard Dawkins: Halibut Evolution

gluonium says...

a daft creationist (redundant?) perhaps but not an astute one. how does the fact that the fish hatches with normal bilateral symmetry in any way challenge evolution? the fish is born with an eye on either side of its head for the same reason you had pharyngeal arches at age 3 weeks.

Sexual Addiction

gluonium says...

bwaha! wow what a total freakjob. I'm sorry but its so obvious when watching these random wingunt counselors with a pet theory (who think THEY'VE figured it all out), that psychology is about as far from being a hard science as its possible to get.

Quantum Mechanics - Electrons

gluonium says...

Fine except for the last bit which is unequivocal nonsense that they should have left out. It doesn't matter how much he wants the universe to conform to his preconceived notions of how it SHOULD operate. The universe doesn't care what you think, and if you do think that imagining electrons to be wavelike in all scenarios will always give you correct answers, you are most definitely wrong.

Authors At Google: Christopher Hitchens

gluonium says...

um well the separation of church and state is pretty much enshrined right there in the very FIRST amendment to the constitution sooooo say what you will about its enforcement but exist it does.

Thomas Edison - Father of Modern Capital Punishment

gluonium says...

and what's the big deal there? Topsy the elephant was killed because she went on a rampage and killed people. We still choose to exact this childish revenge on animals in this very same manner even today. Elephants and bears are commonly killed for even the slightest transgressions into the human realm in both first and third world. The simplistic demonization of Edison is so tired.

yes I noticed it too. also the show opens with another big flub, we never sent orbiters to neptune! only the one voyager flyby. he does need to brush up on his astrophysics! also the most powerful computer in the world does over 350 tflops not 60.

Discovery ch. visits the Joint European Torus fusion tokamak

gluonium says...

He's perfectly correct. There is no downside to living near one. All the neutron radiation emitted by the reactor is blocked by its concrete containment structure, magnetic fields can not escape the building and the reaction is incapable of going out of control.

It would of course be more accurate to say a bathtub of HEAVY water. Strictly speaking they are right that the fusion reaction itself does not create radioactive isotopes but the high energy neutrons released do activate the metal in the structure. The isotopes created are short lived though and the reactor could be buried on site for only 50-100 and would then be safe. tritium is not found on the moon, only helium 3.
