I apologise in advance for causing anybody any unnecessary synaptic dysfunction, or possibly uncontrollable fits of laughter likely to cause a myocardial infarction, but as I was responsible for starting this ultimately deplorable thread, I though that this list of sceptimatic's highly articulate [sic] offerings for today alone warranted it. And bear in mind that these examples are just a fraction of the total amount of absolute bullshit he's posted so far today...
• The 3 identical sized objects all have different density. This means their ability to displace atmospheric pressure is different.
• No it's just mainstream science silliness.
• Tell them to take a rain-check on your Nobel prize. You've just sunk your cargo ship. Not very wise, was it?
• As soon as you put your questions to me without acting like a prick, let me know and I'll answer.
• I use it to highlight what I'm saying and hope logic kicks in with people to see it that way.
• No. You can't even grasp the concept so I'm not going to start with calculations.
• You are never going to understand what I'm saying. Why?...because you simply can't get this crap gravity out of your head to attempt to do so.
• Get your kitchen scales out and weigh an object. Any will do. Denpressure. That's it.
• Wherever you put that car, it is in the pressure it is in and will displace the atmosphere it is in.
• Simply yap yap yapping in your little moods is not explaining anything to me.
• I've explained it very well. the fact you can't understand it is not my problem.
• You need to understand that putting something like that up is pointless.
• If you wanted to learn it, you would put more effort in that just going into immediate denial mode and back to gravity.
• So in simple terms how do they measure gravity.
• Then stop jumping in like a little kid and yapping.
• Just accept that you can't take basics on-board and prefer star trek like bullshit to appease your mind.
• Just forget it and carry on with your gravity, I've wasted enough time on you.
• Let's see your explanations for gravity and see if it makes any sense.
• I can't help people with vision who refuse to see.
• It's a topic all about gravity, so all of you are experts on it, so I'd love the full explanations that I can understand.
I tender this sort of absurd rubbish as incontrovertible proof that sceptimatic has not the slightest knowledge of scientific principles—at even a basic level required to graduate from high school. The single fact that he's unable to comprehend even the elemental science behind the simple balloon "rocket" is sufficient to affirm my opinion.
