  1. Logic cannot exist in the deceptive manic tumult that is jem's mental processes.

    __Even__ Stephen Hawking agrees with FC.

    Hawking: A.I. could be end of human race 05:51
    (CNN)We're all doomed. Unless we can figure out how to get the heck off this planet.

    Don't believe it? Then ask noted theoretical scientist and astronomer Stephen Hawking. He says humanity won't survive another 1,000 years on Earth because of, you know, the usual suspects -- climate change, nukes, robots...

    every time you take a shot a logical representations... you fail ricter.
    try this.

    if change in T leads change in C
    C is unlikely to be cause of change in T.

  4. You have some nerve talking about logic. You can't even grasp the simple logic of rising GHG levels leading to higher temps.

    As Jeb! has affirmed, the Catholic Church does not change along with modern times. For hundreds of years they have been saying it's going to get hot. Really hot. Hotter. Indeed, hot as hell!

    It's just that they never said this was hell, and, because they don't change with the times, never will tell you we're all in hell already.

    Demons, arguing about the temperature.

  7. I went for mountain bike ride yesterday in an area usually full of shallow ponds and streams. A usually beautiful area. They were all dried up and everything was brown. It was sad. I saw a box turtle on the trail and wondered how much he must miss the water.

    No different than the 1600s or 1800s.

    The world in 2076: Goodbye electicity, hello superconductivity

    Thirty years is a long time to wait for the next big thing. But for half ofNew Scientist‘s lifetime, a select group of researchers has been sure that a world-changing discovery is just around the corner. If it happened it would bring “revolutionary change for our normal life,” according to Yanming Ma of Jilin University in Changchun, China.

    The breakthrough in question? A superconductor that operates at room temperature and ambient pressure. Sounds riveting, I know. But bear with me.

    Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with no resistance. The phenomenon was first discovered by Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who in 1911 saw mercury’s resistance drop to zero at 4.2 degrees above absolute zero. Other materials were found to be superconducting at slightly higher temperatures, but the need for extreme refrigeration limited the usefulness of the phenomenon.

    Until 1986, that is. That was when we discovered the high temperature superconductors, which abruptly stop resisting below roughly 100 kelvin (which is -170 °C: the term “high temperature” is a relative one). Suddenly, creating room temperature superconductors didn’t seem so far-fetched.

    That second great leap forward hasn’t happened – yet. So far we have not bettered what we found 30 years ago, says Paul Attfield of the University of Edinburgh, UK. Materials have been discovered that superconduct at somewhat higher temperatures, but only when under extremely high pressures.

    For now, superconductors remain entirely impractical for the killer applications that would allow them to change the world: transport and electrical power transmission.

    Superconductors are a strong barrier to magnetic fields, meaning that a ...
