You never stop saying wrong things, Honest Roberts. Neither
gravitational time dilation nor "time dilation between relatively-
moving clocks at the same gravitational potential" exists. It all
depends...

  American Christians

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Yet another oxymoron for the burgeoning Oxymoron Lexicon, but
of course no one can be an actual practicing Christian and be
a patriotic American at the same time. These are incompatible.

Take Sarah Palin for example, holding a bible in one hand and
a gun in the other. Is she insane? Obviously. Is her insanity
typical of violence-driven fundamentalist religious fanatics?
Absolutely. Americans are world-renowned for being extremely
violent barbarians, Imperialist manifest-destiny types. They
shoot first and ask questions later. It's America's favorite
pastime to live by the sword and to lead into captivity. They
train violent criminals in their public schools, Hitler youth
camps, and train them to worship mammon, and thereby to hate
God. They are taught to be deeply ashamed of God's Universal
Law, and to be deeply ashamed of the infallible testimony of
Jesus. Americans are loathe to "offend" their Anti-Christian
masters in Washington, D.C., and Sarah Palin is no exception.

  America: Battered Country Syndrome?

Battered Country Syndrome

About to be set free from 8 years of abusive GOP battering,
humiliation and lies, not to mention gross incompetence, almost 50%% of
American voters want to buddy-up to the abusers again!

Pathological masochism? The ignorance which passeth all understanding?
An alarming deficit in critical thinking? All of the above?

Proof for numerous Martian microbes/cells

Some people still harbor doubts about my earlier claim that there
were
numerous microbes/cells on Mars.
So, I present Fig. 1 below, showing numerous non-fluorescent Martian
microbes, six of which is marked...

  WHAT DISCONFIRMS STRING THEORY         


Author: Pentcho Valev
Date: Sep 10, 2008 02:59

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.09/stringtheory.html
Lee Smolin: "Well, every string theory that's been written down says
the speed of light is universal. But other ideas about quantum gravity
predict the speed of light has actually increased. And an experiment
on the Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope, launching next year, will
check this. So I've said, look, if the speed of light isn't universal,
that disconfirms string theory. But the string theorists say they
could probably invent versions of the theory that work either way.
We'd have to change our notion of what science is to accommodate this
proposition. You just can't do science on that basis."

If the speed of light isn't universal, that also disconfirms Divine
Albert's Divine Special Relativity:

http://www.fqxi.org/data/articles/Searching_for_the_Golden_Spike.pdf
"Loop quantum gravity also makes the heretical prediction that the
speed of light depends on its frequency. That prediction violates
special relativity, Einstein's rule that light in a vacuum travels at
a constant speed for all observers..."
