Exactly. "The Phenomena" is sort of all encompassing. I think that's an interesting thread that's come out recently. Jeremy Corbell advances the idea (not the first to, tho) that things like ghosts, consciousness, the mu

What if they are already in our solar system, hidden, or holed up on some moon somewhere, and they have been for eons. They don't have to come across the galaxies to get here (even if they can, even if that's where they're fr

What you're ignoring is that "signal" is in the interpretation. You're blind to that. You can crank up data, and wind down your "signal" to confirm your existing biases. In fact that's what you need to do

I don't think those papers mean what you think they mean. I could be wrong, I'm not perception studies expert, but the first one seems to say that binocular parallax (signals from looking with two eyes) are relatively reliable, es

That's so cool. The few minutes later is weird. Maybe it was something invisible nearby, or maybe the sound traveled to you, but a few minutes 180s*330m/s would be around 59Km away. If it was that far in the atmosphere it would ha

That's good analysis. But by your standard of equally consistent your analysis also must be judged as weak. I don't think either theory are weak. They're just theories consistent with the evidence. So that's kind of stro

That's weird... I think the original title of the article was wordier than mine, so i cut out words to fit the limit. But now when i check the article it has a shorter one. I could be wrong tho, but I'm pretty sure that's wha

Even if you disagree with China's view (which is fine), you need to understand it. Rudd's BBC coverage is currently on the front page. You should educate yourselves with one strong view in China right now. (Blanket blocking posts

What if Taiwan and China are the same entity, with two faces? Then it would make sense to hype the threat, and hype how different they were and how "Western-valued" Taiwan was. But why do this? Control. "Good cop, bad cop&quo
