Science cannot progress without knowing what went before. Every new discovery requires awareness of the old ones, if for no other reason than it's better to know what's already been shown to be wrong. Isn't learning what people have studied on the subject of oxidization better than going back to phlogiston as an explanation? Research is an inherent property of the scientific method.

Not that Bara needs a reason for his outlandish beliefs, but TV crime shows share a portion of the responsibility for the idea that one can extract detail beyond image resolution. We've all seen where investigators...

I think they are going to have to do a lot better then intuition to convince anyone at this point. There is only a small amount of people that are still on the fence that everyone is trying to convince. We do it here scientifically. Others do it with bogus claims and nonsense.

Quote: Originally Posted by hirlrng In it, the Russian Navy originally confirmed that they did NOT fire any missiles. That story then turned around a day later. So, you're assuming the initial response is true while the later one is fabricated? Which is more likely? The Russians sent up a secret test shot and denied it when first asked about it, but once it became apparent that the show was widely visible and newsworthy they said...
