A Century-Old Chemistry Rule Has Been Shown To Be Wrong....The discovery could lead to making useful organic molecules that have been treated as impossible.

Nothing in science is possible until it’s observed and you can’t trust it even then.

Think outside the box.......

It destroys creativity when we have rules that supposedly can’t be overcome.

[Red Badger]

Everything is impossible until it’s not.

Heavier than air flight was ‘impossible’.

Speeds faster than 60 mph would kill people by suffocating them.

Really. A lot of people surround themselves with the trappings of science, but what they actually do is not science at all. Trimming the data to fit the conclusions is not science, and people who do it are not scientists. They’re frauds. Covidiots, creationists, and transgenderists are good examples of such frauds.

I don't believe I have ever seen the video. Can't remember seeing it at any rate. Perhaps I will go take a look.

I wasn't missing much. 🤣

IDK

“Speeds faster than 60 mph would kill people by suffocating them.”

Driving @ 90-100 mph or more, even “alone” on a track, kinda takes my breath away.

YMMV.

[Red Badger]

100+ MPH on a motorcycle is definitely breathtaking...............

[devere]

Really, the people you cite are not real scientists.

Naturally occurring anti-Bredt bonds have been known for a long time.

From a good 2014 review:

“ Lastly, we feel that Julius Bredt himself probably would never have imagined his legacy would continue into modernity, especially as he was already aware that violations of the rule were on the horizon. Nevertheless, the occurrence in nature of architecturally beautiful and biologically active candidates, unearthed by the isolation chemist, suggest that the field will continue to develop attracting the attention of biologists and chemists alike.”

Won’t need it in our new carbon free world the left is pushing.

Everything is made of carbon............

Covidiots, creationists, and transgenderists are good examples of such frauds.

No creationist has ever demanded that you fund their beliefs or their scientists, no creationist has ever demanded that you let them have your children, and no creationist has ever tried to shut down an opponent in any debate through the use of bullhorns and paid actors.

Just because you personally don't like the idea, doesn't mean you should lump them in with those others.

There is some actual good research being done by creationists, but I doubt you will ever review that research until you actually meet the creator.

[NorthMountain]

You’re now moving the goalposts.

We’re not talking about funding. We’re talking about whether a particular activity is science, or a fraud masquerading as science.

My observation of “origins” science is, so far, that both “creationists” and “evolutionists” are both doing science so badly that their activities border on fraud and sometimes cross the line.

[wbarmy]

Again, the creation scientists are basically self funding and trying to publish their own findings. They are not using government funding nor are they getting grants, and all of the current scientific publications, being run by evolutionists, are not allowing peer review or publication of these findings.

So I am curious how you have come to see their research as fraud? Have you been reviewing that research?

[redangus]

That’s my point. It was sarcasm. The Left is so stupid they don’t even realize it.

[NorthMountain]

Again, we’re not talking about funding. Quit dragging a red herring into the discussion.

[wbarmy]

Fraud:the crime of getting money by deceiving people.

Maybe you should find a dictionary.
