   Your provided reference is a non-scientific site. The author offers no real credentials. They are a poor source of information. Anyone can make a .com or .org site and say anything they want; avoid them as primary sources. Here, for instance, is a key bulletin that handset manufacturers are required to follow in order to make sure their handset receivers implement the 2n…

   Ok, well, there you can go ahead and ask any engineer that works on the design of these systems. I don't know what your training is, or what your profession is, but go ahead and find engineering information about GPS and you will see that you here very wrong here. That's extremely basic information about the GPS system. Since you're not being very open-minded in this con…

   I must admit, I wish I understood better your actual work. It would help me put any of this in the appropriate context. I understand you cannot really speak freely about specifics, but it makes these incidents hard to frame in the imagination (I am not a very abstract person... despite being a physicist).

   Let's say that what you just said - for instance, space not warping and time not dilating - was true. In that case, it should have been possible to launch the global positioning satellite system (which I assume you use for navigation - if not, I am certain something you rely on uses it, given its modern ubiquity) and just uses the radio signals from the satellites, uncorr…

   It has been a lovely night to sit at the office desk, window open, catching up on email and finally feeling mostly recovered from the flu.

    Oh, I do. Please keep in mind I was sharing the post of another person, which is not the same as expressing my own thoughts. I would have said something more like, "Do not mistake the Presidency for America." Certainly, that is an honest reflection of the truth of our Constitutional Democracy and the Republic that it describes.

    Awesome, because I called a "fuck tard" by somebody else for promoting scientific thinking, so that comment came in a rather mixed bag of comments on other posts. :-) I wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something from your side.

    These headlines usually miss the big gap between basic research in a lab that demonstrates a small-scale multiplication in battery capability, and industrial engineering a mass-producible consumer product. Popular science headlines belie the small steps and big distance from consumer end-results. Sorry!

    I don't usually respond to people who initiate a social media interaction with a rude comment, but I'll give you one more try here on GS, in case you have a valid concern you want to express. If you have a specific example and want to have a conversation about it, please do so; but please also keep a civil tone. I respond well to respectful discourse. What you did was far…

    What is your specific complaint? Your comment was vague and ill-formed. For instance, give me an example of something you think is not scientific, but which is widely considered to be supported by scientifically gathered evidence.

    No, they are Americans, too. Gosh, you went a little far with that one.

    Plenty of sleep and fluids plus that amazing flu vaccine I got back in the autumn = feeling much better after 48hrs.
