But to you it is just another opportunity to express meanness.

You nailed it, kiddo.

(it wouldn't have anything to do with the way you respond to posters here, would it?)

ROTFLMFAO....again and my sides are hurting.

Here is a quick sketch I made to simplify the discussion for those of you who aren't scientists...

JOE, YOU IGNORAMOUS.............YOU GOT THE WRONG FARADAY.

fred faraday.......you dolt!

I don't value horseshit and don't respond positively to it. People who do value horseshit are disappointed by this and react with childish rage. Being mean and childish you gang up.

Ganging up only works on vulnerable people. Frenchy, Quad, Loca, jay/mediator/Ubik.

And I am not vulnerable.

You are weak (collectively) and weak people are mean and should never be trusted. You will always betray those around you.

I mis-remembered his first name.

Funny how I can remember his name having learned about him over twenty years ago in school yet you, who claims to be a scientist, cannot remember the name of one of the most famous physicists in history.

Sorry Rooby Dooby, I'm not buying it.

Trevor Einstein and Ralph Newton don't believe you either...

And yet I am the only one of us who can demonstrate knowledge of science.

The quality of your belief is uninteresting.

In fairness to Rub, the fact that he got the first name wrong only means that the basic information came from his memory and not the internet.

So what's your excuse?

That would explain why you supply so much of it around here without charging for it....

Good point.

You're the only one here who has the ability to be a substitute for a mental vacuum.

In fairness to science in general, a scientist not knowing Michael Faraday's first name would be like a professional cyclist not knowing Lance Armstrong's first name...

That's how we know that Rooby is about as much a scientist as my dog!

You may say that, but what about rubato's writings on Alfred Einstein, Ivor Newton, Louise Pasteur, Alex Gerald Bell, and Ronald Trevithick?

No, you sound like my 6-year old grandson whine when he doesn't get his way.

Grow a pair and move on with your truncated life, you poor slob!

What are you, in your late 40's or early 50's fer gawd sakes!

Emotionally, he hasn't reached adolescence yet.

One reason for doing demonstrations in science classes and having a lab portion is that you learn much more vividly and the direct experience both reifies and gives you confidence that the world is knowable and that you can gradually be able to apply the principles you have learned in new situations to investigate new things.

Empiricism, baby.

We established sometime ago that rube is my age....

Which at the time had surprised me, because for years I had assumed he was an old hippie, which would have made him a bit older....

Rube is wound way too tight to be "an old hippie" and I always believed he was born in the mid 1960's which would have made him way to young for that cohort.

56, and as we can see better educated than all of you taken together.

I learned what a Faraday cage was, understood how it worked, and was able to employ that knowledge and show empirically how it can be demonstrated. When I heard of an example in a movie I correctly identified the phenomenon.

None of you could do that.

Weak. Stupid. And your lack of curiosity or interest in the world around you is what keeps you stupid.

The faraday cage stuff was interesting, thX; oldr pointed out that Bourne would have to envelope his whole body in tinfoil to completely block the signal, since the human body isn't dense enough to stop frequencies from traveling through it.

Still not having any tinfoil, the other day at work I stepped inside a conex box-

visual aid:


(where I usually sneak a nap)


...fairly confident the steel walls would block any cellphone signals. That was coverage on five sides, except I wasn't going to close the door; they'd never think to look for me out there, if I got stuck

In spite of that nearly complete coverage with a dense metal, I was still getting 'bars'. So, you are correct about the faraday, but I think the movie's implementation wasn't entirely accurate.
