Have you actually read the document?

He was parroting about this long before he made any money off it, and I don't like the guy regardless. He just brought a well-known (and long-known; it's been suspected since the '30s) issue into public eye. Your list, frankly, is rather poor when you remove those with "vested interests" in...

<3 Liz May :o

There are also "prestigious scientists" who dispute evolution. Also, gee, I wonder why Exxon-Skeptics would be skeptical of ACC.. nope, can't think of a reason!

Consider who you are talking to.

You did the rest of us a disservice by not doing your own research. I treat you the same way I treat fundamentalist creationists - with scorn for your willful ignorance, and I refuse to suffer fools. Your "opinion", as you say, was entirely uneducated and thus useless in this context. Kindly...

Those of us who have genuine knowledge of this issue, whether or not we have done year 12 or university physics, generally have such knowledge because we have independently gone out and sought it, which you, manifestly, have failed to do. If you are quite done behaving like a child, you would...

Just as you have no right to not be offended, we have no onus to treat you civilly, given that you did not perform the basic courtesy of learning a tad about the subject before spouting your mouth about it. You sounded like an ignorant anti-science fundamentalist idiot; forgive us for treating...

Actually, I'm not sure. Most animals will abandon deformed offspring within days of them being born, but they generally won't outright kill them, AFAIK. Well what do you expect? Your cat was probably removed from her mother too young (~8 weeks, I suspect), never had the proper socialisation...

Hmm. Yes, our closest relatives, chimpanzees (both the common species and the bonobo) and certain cetaceans (that we have been able to examine for such, namely delphinids), elephants.. If we're going by the food chain, bacteria rule. I've shown repeatedly that this is not necessarily the...

To even apply for funding, CERN and the scientists involved would have had to produce exhaustive research proposals, including risks associated. This was settled many years ago.

I love it how people assume that scientists just "do things" for the sake of it, without rigorous exploration of associated risks and consequences. This thing has been in the works for years and years, and cost $10bn to build. I rather think the financial stakeholders would have withheld funds...

A single theoretical physicist. Rather like the few biologists that deny evolution, hey?

The mechanics of the machine - the most sophisticated machine ever built - don't really have anything do with the physics involved. "Mistakes" in the machinery won't really influence the experiments apart from halting them altogether.

Actually, when it comes to articles regarding science, Wikipedia is surprisingly accurate for brief overviews (and it requires referencing, so you can usually tell when something's amiss with an article).

It's much less than 0.00005%. Given the impossibility of the event, it's closer to 1.0x10^-infinity.

Yep. They've delayed repairs until after the European winter.

Everyone has the right to reproduce. I don't doubt that. Doesn't mean they should, or in such large numbers. Essentially we (as a population) should be reproducing below replacement level.

Free all day parking? Like other people said, Arundel Street. Otherwise free parking does not exist.
