Wow, he doesn't even know how tides work.

As the earth grows, does it stay flat?
Quote from: Dr. MD MD on January 15, 2018, 12:00:58 AMHe knows his material as well as RCH knows his. He's been spouting the same nonsense for well over a decade. Here's what he's getting at, in a nutshell: He thinks that a planet with all the land in one part looks silly, therefore Earth was smaller in the past, and it's growing. To get it to grow, he needs to create matter. So he plays around with fundamental particles, creates some of his own, and makes up some way for things to combine to create matter to grow the planet.
Honestly, I'm still not entirely sure what he's getting at here but he sounds passionate.
Quote from: Dr. MD MD on January 14, 2018, 11:51:53 PMThere are so many things wrong with what he's saying. It's one of the problems with "armchair scientists" -- he sees some basics of an idea, thinks he knows what it means, and then does whatever he wants with it, using arguments from ridicule along the way. He's just like those sovereign citizens who use the English language to claim various legal things, except he does it with words in science.
I'm not sure if this is just a basic misunderstanding of chemistry by Neal or if he's actually onto something.
Quote from: GravitySucks on January 14, 2018, 11:31:11 PMWasn't it allegedly 450,000 years? Earth would've looked very similar to how it does now.
When did the Anunaki arrive here on Nibiru the first time?
Quote from: Lunger on January 10, 2018, 09:33:58 PMI see what you did there ... cute.
The window should be within a 468 hour period.
Quote from: Lunger on January 10, 2018, 09:41:33 PMSomething I haven't seen other people explicitly point out is that all this stuff is always just at the edge of the image pixel scale. That's why it's huge, because until the last few years all our pixels were 10s to 100s of meters (or kilometers) on a side. Hence, everything he claims to see has to be multiples of that. "Highly coincidental." Or, since "there are no coincidences," gosh, I guess I just explained everything!
I have always wonder what kind of space-faring retards would build structures 60 miles high. Not only 60 miles high but 60 miles high in an area that is heavily bombarded by meteors. Everything that these guys build; on the Moon, on Mars, on Pluto is always on such a massive scale that it is so far beyond the realm of simple practicality that they must just be stupid.
Maybe its Hoaggie.

Quote from: albrecht on December 31, 2017, 10:07:55 PMMaybe you and I are different in this case because I listed to this stuff with an ear towards material for my podcast. If it's just two guys arguing over their imaginary friends, that's not material for my podcast. An in-depth discussion of glass domes on the Moon is.
If I'm tuning in to OSOM, the crazed Dietrich, etc or C2C it is not for actual information! But just for fun and laughs. Or sometimes, or increasingly rare occasions, some minor information when C2C has a legit guest. But for fun. There are far more real podcasts or lectures once can find for real stuff (which often is fun also. Nature, science, even politics is more bizarre and interesting than the woo-woo.) But sometimes one wants a laugh or hear a trainwreck. I'm with you on when people believe whatever they hear or spend their limited money for some of these guys.
Quote from: albrecht on December 31, 2017, 08:51:21 PMI got that, but that's separate from actual information. When I come away from a podcast or radio program, I want to feel as though there was some sort of information I got from it, even if it's bulls hit. From last night, the most information (even though it was all wrong, like her statement that congresspeople can reveal classified information without being prosecuted for it) came when Barbara came on in the last ~45 minutes.
I didn't get through the whole thing but I liked the tension between RCH and Wilcock, at times. RCH clearly wasn't going to allow someone else to take center-stage and Wilcock's seeming positive view of Trump and the military contrasted nicely with RCH's view against them. And there was the use of different code-names for some "insider source" that, at one point, almost exploded when Wilcock thought RCH was going to reveal a real name. And lots of shadow-boxing and feigning friendship while they both, it seemed, figured out "hey to keep these gigs going we need to be in agreement," while thinking (to themselves) "how can I get more marketshare of the dwindling UFO/Conspiracy market." "This old guy has got to keel over soon and I can take over" "This young whipper-snapper wasn't old enough to be even trying to find his bong while I was a science advisor to Cronkite and friends with Sagan." etc.

Bummer. Hoagie was talking about glass buildings on the moon again.

Astroguy! Expat! It's go time!
Quote from: GravitySucks on December 30, 2017, 05:41:55 PMThough he's since sort of walked back on that. Along the lines of, "people can think what they want to think," and he's distanced himself from that book over the last ~decade.
Yep

Quote from: Dr. MD MD on December 21, 2017, 12:32:41 PMIt's always possible that something can be shown to be wrong. It's just unlikely at this point for something such as this, though as you said, perhaps some things don't apply at all scales in the cosmos. I think what many people don't realize is that "laws" or "theories" in physics are called that because they have withstood EVERY SINGLE ATTEMPT to try to disprove them. It's mot equivalent to "something I dreamt up last night while on my wine break."
Well, I suspect at some point the physics we now know will be proven wrong to some degree. Perhaps it's not applicable on a subatomic level? I don't know. I think it's interesting though and until it's been proven a fraud I'd like to know more about it and recent developments.
Quote from: Dr. MD MD on December 21, 2017, 12:08:49 PMI'm not an engineer so I haven't really commented on the "EM Drive" stuff. My opinion is that there is a very high bar to proving that a very, very well established law of physics (conservation of momentum) is wrong, and that's been my primary response. If it works without violating that, that's something else, but much of the hype around it (not necessarily from OSOM) has been that it violates physics so this is "zero point energy" so all of physics is wrong so we get to fly to other galaxies if only THEY would let us.
Right. I did forget about that. I remember you referring to some in-battles a couple of times but didn't really know the backstory. You guys seem really down on Distler though and I thought that there was some legit phenomena there with NASA being involved. I know it's early days with it but do you really think it's a hoax?
Quote from: Dr. MD MD on December 21, 2017, 11:53:26 AMI suppose it's also relevant that Richard frequently misrepresents the work of my friends and mine. How would you feel if someone regularly - and with forethought - lies about something that you've devoted thousands of hours to? I'm mostly referring here to New Horizons and Pluto stuff, but there are many other examples, like their recent misrepresentation of Simone Marchi's Ceres research.
I know and I wasn't saying that I don't appreciate your posts and the others from the more skeptical crowd here...but at the same time I want to see Hoagie's show be successful because it's a lot of fun, especially when there are a lot of people on this thread.
Quote from: Dr. MD MD on December 21, 2017, 10:44:10 AMFascinating that my response has led you to think this.
I just think it's funny that you guys seem to think you're the only ones smart enough to see that and I can't really believe that you see him as the threat you do. I know he's done some sleazy shit re: his trips and it's good that you warn people of this but, other than that, it just seems like much ado about nothing. Maybe, if he was presenting himself as a 100% hard science show I'd understand your ire. No, I suspect this is just another attempt from the left to bully free speech again...sadly.
I was trying to explain to one of my nephews (who recently entered the world of professional science) that money corrupts science all the time (because scientists are people after all) but he just couldn't believe it because science is so peer reviewed and interconnected that they could never get away with it. Ah, youth. I'm confident he'll eventually get it though. I'm just kind of surprised that you don't seem to.
Quote from: Dr. MD MD on December 21, 2017, 02:23:28 AMThe issue is not whether people really believe what RCH says, it's that Richard can act as a gateway for other incredulous ideas that people may believe or be lead to believe that can cause real harm. And the few that do believe him, well, it's not like they aren't out money, paying for some of his trips, buying his books, paying for his show, and by at least his accounts shelling out a few $k for his guests.
I find it even funnier that supposedly serious, scientifically-minded people such as yourself invest this much time and energy in battling his evil. Are you really worried he's going to start influencing science or something...REALLY?! Who's having trouble with reality here?
Quote from: Morgus on December 17, 2017, 01:46:48 AMIn slight, tiniest bit of fairness, I got a new computer recently and downloaded a fully new version of Skype, and it's rainbowy and absolutely horrible. All the preferences are gone, it doesn't work right, it removed common features, etc. *IF* that's what RCH did, it's forgivable to have issues. That doesn't mean it's forgivable that he didn't test things before, and that the issues would repeat every show, but once I will excuse him.
