80 is nothing startling. -35 degrees Celsius is no big deal for Antarctica. Hell, it hits -40 Celsius a couple of times every winter in Ottawa and Montreal, Canada. In Alaska and northern Canada it hits -40 degrees Celsius every damn day for weeks and weeks at a time. I used to walk a mile to school regularly in -40 temperatures when I lived in Churchill, Manitoba. Walked to school on colder days than that, actually.

That must have been a misprint.



Yep misprint. The coldest temperature ever measured was -89 celsius in Vostok Antarctica. (-129 F)

10 percent of all human beings ever born are alive at this very moment.

That's simply amazing, as are most of the others.

some are just opinions not facts... like:

The Earth is 4.56 billion years old...the same age as the Moon and the Sun.

there is no way to know for sure. there are too many theories.


4.56 billion years old is the oldest rock ever found. It was dated using Uranium radioactive decay. They use standards to try to make sure that its accurate and not contaminated. The rock was found in Austrailia somewhere. We talked about this in one of my geology classes. But this is the leading theory. As for the moon being as old as Earth, they think the moon came from the earth so it would have been formed after the earth. And I think the sun came before the earth.

But you know that isn't true, the Bible says the Earth and universe is only 6000 years old. Haha

So the moon is glorified jello?

I think the temperatures you mentioned are decreased further by wind chill. Wikipedia says the record low for Ottawa is -36.1 Celsius in 1943. Still, that's just about minus 40 and I can't even imagine it.

A theory isn't a guess. A theory is a well founded answer supported by a large body of evidence. A hypothesis is a guess. Science rules, you don't, end of story.

DON'T YOU EVER SAY "
there is no way to know for sure." Unless you study biology and chemistry non stop like I do. Don't even dip your nose in the arguement if you know nothing about it.

Easy now, calm down... there's no need to get worked up. This is a friendly discussion. :grin:

He has a point, by the way. One of the tenets of science is the notion that the "facts" are not assumed to be 100% certain. If they have been demonstrated to be true, they are trusted as our best understanding of the matter, but we are supposed to keep in mind the fact that they may be false. That way, if new evidence is unearthed, we are less likely to cling to tradition  and resist further discovery.

It's not all 100%, it is all theories. What pisses me off is that morons think theories are guesses. They need to realize that a hypothesis is a guess and theory is something that is backed up by a large body of evidence.

So far we are pretty sure that earth is not fucking 6 thousand years old. The only people that think it is are ignorant religious fucks and ignorant religious fucks who got a PhD in science so that they don't look like ignorant religious fucks when they argue that radiometric dating is completely false and that God created the earth in 6 fucking days.

"Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Five years later? Six? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a main era - -the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant."
