Why is it science threads on this site are almost immediately mocked, and plastered with childish images?

I could never understand that. It’s almost like these people are waiting for a science thread, and jump on it..Strange.

The pranksters serve the purpose of bumping threads often enough that the serious posters eventually find it.

FreeRepublic is made up of folks from rocket scientists to village idiots, from theologians to hedonists. Somehow we keep the whole tribe happy enough to stick around and contribute.

Not that strange. Who’s qualified to talk about it seriously?

Get a sense of humor. As for a serious comment, I want to know if these scientists confirmed their data. Why are they so certain that what they found is a distortion of the space-time continuum?

There are folks who excerpt science threads from FR, post them on another site, and mock the comments of Freepers. Think of it as providing entertainment for folks who are too insecure in their theology to come over here and debate.

Oh, come on, it’s a rip in the fabric of space-time. If it tears, we’re screwed. Can’t we at least go out with a little humor?

I did a noise-temperature measurement between a satellite and ground-based reciever recently. It's a procedure that includes both solar and microwave background radiation in a specific equation. It works. All the time. Our sun must be directly on the other side of the Earth and satellite to do this test on the ground.

I want to also know what a satellite looking outward is finding and how. What is the reference and what is the equation used to find Noise Figure at 14 GHz for example? And measure it directionally?

There are students in some school classes that don't want to be there. Just like I had help in making the required sexual harassment meeting at work laughable.

“science thread”

THAT’S IT!! (I would have said Eureka, but that’s the wrong century.)

We need to ponder a true science thread,to fix the fabric of the space time continuum!!!!!

But then we would need to ponder the sewing machine to sew the fabric....Oh, Lord, we’re doomed...

or, we could party like there’s no mamana.

Well, using the term "defect" is the first reason for me with regard to this article. The fact this exists means it's not a defect but a feature of the cosmos. What's clearly defective (or incomplete) is our current understanding of the "space-time fabric". Only the most arrogant and egotistical could have the hubris to imply that we know all there is to know about the cosmos and if we discover a feature that doesn't conform to this understanding it must be a "defect."

The atheist religion of Faux Science, which postures as empirical, replicable science and pays its highly-degreed practitioners well to theorize, is one of my favorite targets for derision....
