Science is filled with phlogiston.

Scientists can’t even get their $h1t together and expect us to just follow along. Oh, I thought this was a global warming thread. Sorry, carry on with the theoretical pointless physics.

The Democrat Klingons are controlling the universe now.

Let me save everyone some time:

phlo·gis·ton /flōˈjistän,-tən/

noun

a substance supposed by 18th-century chemists to exist in all combustible bodies, and to be released in combustion.

Back in 2011, three astronomers were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics

Who on earth has been giving out the Nobel prizes lately?

Bush’s fault. Make ‘em pay back the prize money.

Of course not....not now.
Now it's stopped.
Soon it will contract

"ISA 34:4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree."
"Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places."

Yet another countless example,why science is not about,
consensus. And why we should not put our faith in it,100% at any given time, and not ever cut off debate about other theories and data that doesnt match preconceived notions.

Does this mean that the type 1A super nova is NOT the standard candle they think it is??

Sheldon Cooper on ‘Big Bang Theory’ will probably be ranking out Perlmutter again in an upcoming episode.

If Klingons were real and around today...they would be many things...none of those things would be democrats.

They values honor.

If the universe was imploding, wouldn’t things closer to the “Center of the Universe” appear to be accelerating away from us, just as objects farther away from the “Center of the Universe” would also appear to be accelerating away from us? From our reference point, I would think the universe exploding or imploding would look about the same.

> “They say the statistical techniques used by the original team were too simplistic, and were based on a model devised in the 1930s, which can’t reliability be applied to the growing supernova dataset.”

ALL MODELS ARE FALSE; SOME ARE USEFUL.

Two questions arise:
1. will the 2011 Nobel recipients have to repay their prize money?
2. will this new team and their supporters be labeled “dark matter deniers”?

We are now in what physicists call the “Millennial” phase of the Universe, its pretty pretty much not doing anything.
