Evidence Definition and 367 Threads

Jim Bohannon was a radio guy who took over the airwaves when Larry King left for television stardom-the guy actually read headlines from WWN and 'scouffed' at the 'ignorance and gullibity of people who believe this nonsense'! Every week! (of course, the Washington Times would be the latest...

I am not sure what forum category this should go in, but since Cahill's paper (see abstract and link below) claims to be the first evidence for discrete space, which of course supports LQG, this may be the appropriate location. I searched the Physics Forum for Cahill and got zero hits. His...

If God does exist, then the evidence is all around us, you knuckleheads! So what if the probability of life on this planet began with a couple of flashes of lightning in a pool of water (or, a myriad of lightning flashes -- each time rearranging the molecular structure of the water -- over the...

In the standard model, there are three families of matter particles, headed up by the electron, tau and muon, and their associated neutrinos, and quarks. Is there any reason to suspect the existence of a 4th or even 5th+ series of matter particles? (which, if they existed, would probably be...

[SOLVED] Evidence that Atoms Have Bizzare Wisdom The old two slit experiment has replicable evidence of bizarre particle wisdom.

Disclaimer I: The human mind is not well suited for perceiving such complete and utter perfection. Upon viewing this video, you may collapse in tears of dumbstruck awe and terrible joy. You may hyperventilate from the shock and never fully recover. You may even spontaneously combust...

I may have mentioned this problem in a thread on the old PFs, but I don't remember the answer, and I can't use my Archive C.D. right now, so I figure I should ask again (I'll probably get some new responses anyway): What evidence is there for or against the idea that a giant "water canopy"...

This paper on the new quantitative biology section of the preprint arxiv claims evidence in brains of living rats of chaotic behavior matching that of a well known theoretical model of chaotic quantum mechanics. If verified, a true breakthrough.

What would a person need to do or show us to prove he is a traveler from the future. What would be the key piece of evidence that says, hey this guy is for real. To me his technology as a whole should speak for itself.

i came across this site http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/6830/evidence.html it gives a list, example... strong nuclear force constant if larger: no hydrogen; nuclei essential for life would be unstable. if smaller: no elements other than hydrogen what do you think?

would some be able to give me an example that shows some evidence of length contraction? i have looked at the muons example, but it seem to be dependent on the time dilation effect, rather than being evidence of length contraction. thanks for any help.:) much appreciated. btw, feel...

it seems that the existence of black holes is taken for granted thees days, but there are people who question there existence, under the heading "binary star", in this forum, john shoemaker proposed a theory that would disprove black holes. this has me thinking "what is the evidence for...

Now there are a great many things in this Universe that we don't know about. But that does not mean they don't exist. There are "factual things" which we do know, and there are "factual things" which we don't know. Which is to say, a fact remains a fact, irregardless. And yet it's entirely...

I'm posting this here because psi phenomena are typically not accepted as scientifically valid, and also because there have been a number of "if I saw valid, repeatable scientific evidence for psi I would believe in it" types of posts in this forum. Here is your valid, repeatable scientific...

A short while back, there was talk that the WMAP findings would help cosmologists finds evidence to support the notion of a finite universe. Since finding duplicate images of the same galaxies at several locations in the sky is so difficult, it was hoped that data from WMAP may also provide...
