Wow what a watertight argument. The key is the word "can" - which you interpret to mean "extremely likely", and I interpret to mean "extremely unlikely". Other than that, we agree.

I don't understand how this could have been unknown - surely every paper that presents an image recognition system has a small section looking at the cases the system got wrong? Edit: I said "surely", but, no: GoogleNet'

You cannot dismiss entire branches of geology like that. The evidence is not "tiny" or "infinitesimal". Sure, it takes care, effort, and specialised techniques to find it, but it is there, and we need a theory that expla

This seems to be a much more reasonable stance, though just because you can conceive of something doesn't mean it should be taken seriously. Your previous comment included questionable phrases such as "any degree of certainty&quot

Why do you not assume that the person in this story is not then? In what way can someone disagree with you about the offensiveness of something you say, without you labelling them as "intent on outrage"?

You need to include the units, else that doesn't make much sense - many physicists use units such that c = 1. In this case the units (for speed²) you want are m²/s² = J/kg

Is your stance on non-English books something that could be changed if you had volunteers with sufficient expertise, or do you think that the requirements would be so different that a similar (forked) website would be best?
