When I first read a children's book on dinosaurs, as a small child, I was impressed by Tyranosaurus Rex and by Stegosaurus. As I grew older, and learned the names of a few more, I was impressed by the variety of dinosaurs. However, I must say that the Tyranosaurus Rex remains one of my...

NO, NO AND NO. I tried to watch it, really tried because I love Harvey Keitel, but Adam Sadler makes almost all movies he stars in unwatchable. I cannot understand how that man is considered to be funny. Tragically unfunny he is. Definitely weird and beautiful. Shows all the religious...

Talking about nostalgia. I am currently doing a renovation in my living space, due to faulty insulation, so I had to pack everything in boxes. I found among forgotten things, my first astronomy book. This was a book in italian, called "Il Grande Libro dello Spazio" or in English "The Big Book of...

If you have not yet purchased those two, then I recommend you go straight to the Feynman lectures on Physics. More costly, but both of the above, contain lectures from the Feynman Lectures. There is the definitive edition of those, which consists of 4 books, the first 3 are the 3 tomes of...

I got it from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Demon-haunted-World-Science-Candle-Dark/dp/1439505284/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1300728182&sr=1-2 http://www.amazon.com/Demon-Haunted-World-Science-Candle-Dark/dp/0345409469/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300728249&sr=8-1 I had bought it from Amazon...

The Demon-Haunted World: Science as A Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan is by far my favorite science book. Because that is a book that sets the basics of logic and reason and makes you think. Six Easy Pieces, and Six Not-So Easy Pieces, from Richard P. Feynman.

I totally agree. I read the Foundation trilogy when I was a teenager and a couple of times afterwards, and I still love it. Anyways, one of my favorite SF authors is Peter F. Hamilton. His Night's Dawn Trilogy was superb despite the Deus Ex Machina ending. I like his Greg Mandell series too, I...

It is widely known that the Daily Mail's true name is The Daily Fail. :)

I don't watch any reality TV. I hate reality TV. We are full of that crap even in Greece.

Well, Czar has ignored everyone else.... !!!

How about those: Formation of the Solar System The birth of stars and planetary systems Death of stars: from supernovae to neutron stars and beyond The myths behind the constellations Variable stars Galaxy mergers Any other topic on astronomy...

I had written an article for a science competition in another forum, and I am copying this here (hack and some other people that are on the other forum as well can vouch that this is my work): DEBUNKING ASTROLOGY Abstract: Astrology is false. Astrology: what it is and what does it claim...

Re: Царь Славян's Aether model of QM. He has you on ignore as well. Someone else has to quote you (probably a moderator), because Czar has almost everyone else on ignore...

I totally agree. I have never seen any argument that has convinced me that it is useful as a function. I have my own ignore, and it's called "scrolling".

Re: Царь Славян's Aether model of QM. Is there anyone who is not a moderator that is still not ignored by Czar? Is this the way to conduct a rational discussion?

Let's look at the etymology of words: theism comes from the word theos (θεός) which in greek means god. Then theism (θεϊσμός) means literally "with god" so its actual meaning becomes "belief in god". Now when you add the "A" or alpha before a word in greek...

Re: Царь Славян's Take on The Theory of Evolution Naw, being half greek and half italian, and having done latin in school, I have a couple of notes on the taxonomic names of the bears: Ursus maritimus: actual meaning is bear of the sea, and both words are derived...

Thanks, hack. Somewhere I had made an introduction thread of myself.

Re: Царь Славян's Take on The Theory of Evolution What? he insulted a mod by PM here as well? Oh, and I thought I was special... :lol: :lol: Not only insulted by PM but also ignored! Where is the world going to? :lol: :lol: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Suicide by...

Uhm, no thank you. I already read enough stupidity from creationists and similar, no need to go looking for more. My brain has enough as it is! :lol:
