Radioactivity, fission and fusion
2024-04-12 12:52 Radioactivity is about certain elements – or variants of them – in course of time decaying.  Most such which has been found have never been observed to decay.  A smaller fraction has and then emit ionising radiation.
What is radiation?
2024-04-10 12:06 A great deal seem to believe everything called “radiation” to be dangerous.  I think it is because the ionising was first payed attention to as such.  Which has then been overgeneralised to apply to all radiation.
Absolute dating
2024-04-05 16:16 Oftentimes we can know how old something is.  Not just though written history as some have gotten stuck into.  It is entirely possible to find out the age of things with natural scientific methods too.
Orders of magnitude matters
2024-03-21 12:39 It is important to keep track of which order of magnitude something has.  Otherwise one’s concepts of nature risk becoming far too erroneous.  Which in turn creates needless fear.
The problems with UFO reports
2024-03-06 12:37 UFO was originally acronym for unidentified flying object.  Unfortunately, there are a lot believing everything which is unidentified have to be made by aliens.  The result is there now being “ufologists” defending this wrongful idea.
What is emergence?
2024-01-25 10:55 Emergence is when a phenomenon arises by itself.  This is about interactions between the different parts of the phenomenon and the surrounding environment.  As such there is no intention behind as some presupposes.
Ideas not part of science at all
2023-12-01 12:19 There are so many ideas creationists imagine their opponents to adhere to.  As I have explained before a lot of them are not part of evolution theory.  Additional ones are not part of present-day science at all.
Ideas not part of evolution theory
2023-11-29 11:11 Creationists think all science contradicting their own ideas belong to the same unified system of thought.  That unified system is imagined as constructed to allow life to change over time.
On space and telescopes
2023-11-01 12:23 Most flat-earthers claim that space don’t exist.  Oftentimes this is about a misunderstanding of the concept of vacuum.  The “vacuum” people are familiar with from contact with everyday objects is actually an under-pressure.
Consequences of the Earth’s motions
2023-10-27 11:07 Regardless if they are flat-earthers or not some denies that the Earth moves.  The argument is we would feel it.  The problem with this argument is we don’t feel movement in and of itself.
