AM radio starts at a low band frequency of 100 kilohertz, far above brainwave frequencies.
There were three of them, and they did not oppose the creation of the Federal Reserve. One was on record as supporting it. Truth is preferable to a satisfying falsehood.
The only important thing about the Titanic sinking (regarding the Fed) was that J. P. Morgan was not on board, having his travel plans disrupted by attending to the shipping of his art collection. Morgan was a prime mover behind the creation of the Fed. It didn't matter that the Titanic sank.
Interesting interview. I liked Chyba. He was quite realistic. I was attentive to the issue of the magnetic field being (as it were) static, even though the Earth is rotating. I didn't like "Professor Simon." His appearance, manner, and antics were hard to stomach. I thought it would have gone better had the interviewer been an animated duck.
Well, you threw out the baseless canard about NASA Nazis and did not respond to the information I provided. So, what is one to think? You throw things out to be outrageous, but have no sauce to back it up? All because you want to discuss my manner.... Like that makes a lot of sense, right?
I think you are missing something important. I'm not playing "go along to get along," and you don't like my manner. But we are still talking to each other, which I think is a good sign. And I do not take badly the fact that you wanted to address my manner, which I accept as benevolently motivated. Plenty of people here who would end with a curse and an insult and lots of exhaust fumes.
It's also interesting to reflect on the existence of limitations on What to talk about, but not How to talk about it. There is lots of gratuitous cursing and insult. It sullies the atmosphere. I don't go with that. I call people out, candidly, and that bothers some people. Then it's a face-off. And I don't back down. Which frustrates the other party. Frustration is the root of anger. And they say goodbye with arrows. At least we are not saying goodbye. Or I would like to think so.
My problem, I'll be honest, is that I have a terrible memory for handles. I know I've met kindred spirits here, but I couldn't recall their handles if my life depended on it. So, I try to have an approach that is the same for everyone, and trust to circumstance that I am not treading on toes too hard. Perhaps I should keep a list.
But, thanks for being engaged. If you want to know more about the NASA subject, I am willing to provide what I can. A very good book that covers the whole history of the Peenemunde Germans is "The Rocket Team: From the V-2 to the Saturn Moon Rocket" by Frederick Ordway III (1979). He was there when it all came together.
Well, you are pushing the nonsense that NASA was run by Nazis. I didn't bring that up. You did. What do you expect? That I would just sit back, nod, and say, "That's interesting?" And rather than defend a baseless slur, you divert to my etiquette and (it always happens) engage in insults.
Here's a clue: I don't respect "colossal tards." I may be courteous as possible, but just as I don't go along with the brain massage of the transgender religion, neither do I go along with nonsense. Never have. Even my managers at work knew that about me.
Then we are doomed, since every electrical appliance is either a resistance or reactance element. I can see where it might be problematic for the health of my electrical appliances, but not for my personal health. I have a lot of doubts that EM signals cause cancer. The fear reminds me of the concern over witchcraft.
I'm familiar with the data. I used to be an optical engineer working with human vision. The color sensitivity of the eye is closely matched to the spectral distribution of sunlight. LEDs are a bit peaky, but they fall within that spectrum, and the eye does not care about that. And the "frequencies" of visible light are far beyond the biological functioning of the nerve cells of the brain (400 to 790 trillion cycles/second). Altogether, our brain waves range from 0.2 to 100 cycles/second.
Getting "100 watts" of visible light from a bulb that draws only 15 watts is good news in my department.
I pretty much agree. Around the 1950s, when it became fashionable for everyone from high school to pass on to college, the school administrators changed their strategy. Formerly, high school was regarded as the highest education a child was going to receive, and the object was to cram as much into it as possible. The standards were high. With the paradigm being that everyone would go on to college, the content and standards became lax. After my time, entire subjects were deleted from the curriculum: music, metal shop, home economics. A vast letdown.
I agree with you about the importance of math.
I do agree that English should be the designated official language of the nation, as all of our founding documents, official records, history, and literature is written in it. But I took instruction in French, German, and (much later) in Russian.
I have concluded that the introduction of cellphones to children has been a developmental and cultural disaster.
Electricity is not describable as "dirty." What do you mean?
They emit light with the same wavelengths as daylight. Otherwise, we couldn't see them. Not for those who can't stand blue skies. I'm fine with them. Having lots of cheap light is better than the alternative.
NASA was not "run by Nazis." No NASA administrator was a former Nazi. All the rocket scientists brought over under Operation Paperclip were Germans, mostly working for the German Army. Toward the end of the War, Heinrich Himmler was trying to assemble an industrial empire and used his position to get the V-1 and V-2 programs under his control. Some personnel were conscripted into the SS for the sake of Himmler having a direct hand over them. It was a time when membership in the Nazi party was compulsory. All these men shed that past in great relief when they came to America. Just one (1) member was ultimately found out to have Nazi sympathies and he was returned to Germany.
So, I don't know this because you don't know this either. It was not true. The former Peenemunde team had been working for the Army Ballistic Missile Agency (Redstone and Jupiter missiles). They were gathered into NASA because they had the main experience in the system engineering of large rockets. They orchestrated the development of the Saturn V as a symphony involving Boeing, North American, McDonnell-Douglas, and Grumman. All the Germans were kicked out of NASA by the mid-1970s. A case of envy and resentment that they received acclaim over the native American staff of NASA. These men were heroes for a lot of teenagers at the time. It is fair to say that we would not have gotten to the Moon without them. A curious debt to a group of "Nazis".
And don't go into this misrepresentation trick. i never said NASA was "all good." I specifically called out their prevarications in the area of "climate science." But that's the only area.
The naming of programs is a trifle, and not all of them are named after pagan gods. The Space Shuttle is a good counter-example. What pagan god is named "Space Shuttle"? Or the pagan god named "International Space Station"?
In this case, the more you investigate history, the more you learn it. You haven't.
"One of the first directors..." T. Keith Glennan was the first administrator, born in North Dakota. The second administrator was James E. Webb, from North Carolina. The third administrator was Thomas O. Paine, from California. George M. Low was a deputy administrator, who was born in Austria, was Jewish, and emigrated with his family to America in 1938, where he eventually joined the Army and fought in World War II, when he also became a naturalized citizen. I could go on, but the pattern is clear. Do you really know who this mysterious, unscientific Nazi is? All these men were well-educated in the relevant sciences.
Plenty of lying in political messages, especially from the Democrats and RINOs. I have vivid memories of how LBJ lied about Barry Goldwater.
Science is still science. Its problems have nothing to do with being a "death cult." There is a deep problem with entrenched consensus and dead-end theoretical models. But science can still be found (e.g,, Halton Arp's work on anomalous galactic objects). There are a number of interesting branch theories (e.g., expanding Earth). And science is no stranger to the occurrence of ideological controversies (e.g, catastrophism vs. gradualism).
The "rocket people" have not lied. I think it is incumbent on you to put up or shut up. I have been near this business for 40-odd years. Their worst errors have been lapses of prudence, leading to dead astronauts. So, I hold them responsible for that, but it is also a manifestation of groupthink, which is an endemic problem among people in an organization.
I do prove my position. It usually doesn't go down very well, but I push hard. People do not like having ignorance pointed out.
Pushing hard is not rudeness. In my defense, I never go off in a huff, or wind up cursing or making insults. I do point out mental tendencies that will sabotage our whole purpose. We do not help anyone to come out from under the sway of false beliefs, if we are indulging in our own, preferred set of false beliefs.
Whichever four it is, it is the current order of the day, as described earlier in the New Testament. "There will be wars and rumors of war..." but they will not be signs.
When a person refuses to read about the actual physical facts behind some question, that is a mental problem. The vast population of normies have that problem. When it comes to doubting NASA's space track record, there are no grounds for suspicion. Whatever you think of the wisdom of what they do, they have been unflinchingly honest about what happens. (But for climate science, it is another story.)
No harm in being suspicious of a product class if fraud or malfeasance has been shown. I've long been dubious about flu shots and finally gave up on them. Now, in the wake of the Covid debacle, the entire credibility of the pharmacological businesses and medical practice is impeached. mNRA "vaccines" are Russian roulette by hypodermic needle.
But the reality is that there is more truth out there than falsehood, without which we could never find the falsehood. And there is no "official narrative" if the facts are simply being presented. All of science and history depend on this.
Whether a contrail goes away quickly or hangs around for hours is a function of the relative humidity at its altitude. Where there is high relative humidity, they will persist indefinitely, exactly like clouds at that altitude (and that is what they are: clouds).
There is usually a chemical name different from the brand name, and which is used for the generic drug. But if you are familiar with the terminology of organic chemistry, they are also brain-twisters.
That may actually be close to it. There is a good reason to think that the names are contrived to be distinctive, without intruding on the semblance of another name, in order for the name to be trademarked. The resulting names are atrocious. One might think that a letter-number combination would be as effective without being as obnoxious. And "...side effects may include morbid testicular expansion, the growth of secondary noses, and the loss of all bodily hair." With side effects like "a slow and painful death," who needs the frontal effects?
But the world is mostly truth, and we only know the lies by reference to the truth. If you rule that there is no truth, you are left with lies...and a psychotic outlook.
The past 50 years is what history is for. Read it. Get some learning under your belt. All I have seen on this subject as a basis for skepticism is nothing more than ignorance. So, it isn't passive acceptance, it is passivity about learning knowledge.
The truth is in the physical world around us and the true testimony of human beings. There is a reason why science was essentially invented by Christians.
Can't handle the tough questions, so you put it all down to my supposed sour attitude. Like reality is subjective. It isn't.
I just took a peek at the Book of Revelation. We haven't begun to have any of the portents. It's all rather elaborate.
There has always been war, famine, pestilence, and death. Or haven't you noticed?
I live at the south end of the approach/departure corridor to Seattle-Tacoma International. Father south is McChord Air Force Base. I've always seen criss-crossing contrails, because the flight paths criss-cross. No big deal, for as long as I have lived.
Those are all foretold. But only Jesus will arrive in glory, and there will be no mistake about that. Until and unless that happens, war, famine, upheaval, and false leaders will be the order of the day.
Lots of insulation. The suit is white, in order to minimize solar heat uptake. The environmental control system in the suit is designed to maintain an even internal temperature. I'm not familiar with the means they had to adjust the temperature. They may have had to adjust their moving around in order to minimize temperature excursions (e.g., step into a shadow to cool down). They would have worked this out beforehand during the non-Moon flights, since the environment is simply the space environment (sunlight on one side, shadow on the other).
Can anyone explain this? Is it a new kind of credit card? Is it simply a status symbol? Does it get me into movies free? Is it a lifetime pass for grocery purchases? A new frequent flyer card? Unlimited gasoline credit card, good at any gas station? Good at any ATM? Or is this the special work visa card? If presented to ICE, it is a Get Out Of Jail Free card? It gets more interesting as my tired mind tries to catch up with the dots.
