Hail Guy Fawkes! :P

What?! I can't handle anything. I can't even handle my own coffee maker. The filter gets all gunked up and I forget to clean it. I'm a bad handler.

Sorry about the thread necromancy, but I just thought this was really bizarre. A hosting company I run a website on had exactly the same problem recently, and it was because of PhpBB that I noticed it. WEIRD :|

I'm really thrilled that Tyson will be presenting it. He gets really, really excited about astronomy. I think they dodged a bullet by not casting Cox. Don't get me wrong, I've met him several times and he's a good communicator, and a nice guy. He's just not an astronomer, and I don't get charged...

Couple of corrections: the orbitals approach is a model of greater utility, and does provide an answer to how atoms can be stable. Of course the model does not replace Maxwell's equations, but presents a scenario in which the motion of the electron is considered to be a standing wave. Generally...

That very realisation is one of the principal reasons why QM is considered to be a better model for the electron's behaviour. Its position/energy is characterised by a statistical model (called orbitals, but not related to classical orbits) It isn't trivial to interpret electrons as moving...

Thank you for sharing your story. I can't even begin to appreciate what you and the other islanders went through. I just want to express my deepest sympathies for everyone involved, the families, and the Norwegian people. They have reacted admirably.

To those who want to contribute but are not sure how or do not dabble in production, why not team up with someone? You can have a researcher, writer, presenter and narrator (this is how real television is made after all ;) )

No. The goal is to be non-confrontational. The videos are not intended to be refutations, or in any way defensive.

I'm going to challenge myself to make the BBT one as a template, without running into two videos. Others could then determine if more (or even less?) detail is actually needed for the video to make its points. Although the Theory of Evolution is complex and far-reaching, it is still enough, I...

I think this is a non-issue if the communication is handled well. It is fair to assume that the viewer has a basic grasp on what the theory states, and is visiting the video just to discover the major veins of knowledge that support it. In each case, the fact can be related to the theory, and I...

Precisely. The opening line in the script so far is "The Big Bang Theory is a scientific theory that describes the physical evolution of the Universe from a hot, dense state to the one we see today." There is some debate about whether cosmogenesis is within the scope of the BBT, but it's safer...

Re: sub/unconscious, psychoanalysis, crazy Freud and hypnosi But I wanted to know of a really good Hypnosis Community site you big spoil sport! :cry: It did look a bit sus, but I was too lazy to do the google check! :P

Hello LoR community! What's goin' awn? I'm scheming about an upcoming video (yes, you might get two this year :shock:) entitled 'Observational Evidence for the Big Bang Theory'. Hopefully this ambiguous title will not undermine the secrecy surrounding its content. When I began putting this...

Hmmmm, maybe it's me and I no longer recognise myself? :?

Subliminal win. Who is the mysterious hero?

I wonder LoR, what say you to this...?

Hey I'm still here! :(

Happy Zombie Jesus weekend folks! For those with access to iPlayer, I encourage you to listen to this radio debate between Dr. Evan Harris (secular politician for evidence-based policy) and Stephen Green (Christian Voice homophobe)...

The Fermi paradox strikes me as being very weak. What if the only other two intelligent civs in the Milky Way had achieved interstellar travel at roughly the same period in the history of the Universe, and have since been holding a bloody war over one or two thousand habitable systems on the...
