There are many more things to say, but i guess i already talked too much to give you a headache.

Welcome to the forums! Narf should be along shortly to offer you some cheese.

The earth isn't flat!?!

As for fox news and bias.. Here we go with pictures of insanity.

The last one is the best.

the great thing about the universe is that there is so much of it. As a result, nearly anything is possible and I have to agree with atrocities because any definitive conclusion will be a huge blunder. We may observer a 1000 black holes operating in one manner, then find ten thousand doing something totally different and finally one more that defies the first two. There is no such thing as a clear-cut answer on black holes.

I believe in mermaids.
I've seen lots of "Artist's Conceptions", and some of 'em are hot.
Just because I haven't got a photo doesn't mean they don't exist.
I'm gonna make a research grant proposal for a yacht, to sail the Carribean in search of the elusive mermaid.

Gravity is the weakest force.

It may be weak, but it is the only long range force that dosen't tend to cancel itself out.

That was the underlying inspiration for much of H.P. Lovecraft's work.

H.P. Lovecraft said: We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

And according to this article, the majority of published scientific studies are wrong.

Well that's a rather defeatist attitude.

If gravity is so weak, then why is it so fundamental? We cannot see it, but we can see its effects. I would say that someone who considers gravity a weak force in the universe falls into the category that I mentioned in one of my previous posts.... the one that states people who think they know everything don't. There is so much about the universe that we don't know that for any one to make any definitive conclusions about anything would be a naivety of epic proportions.

Gravity is very weak. I mean think about it- EVERY object has a gravitational field, but the only one you notice day-to-day is the Earth's. A space shuttle with chemical rockets can produce three to four times as much force with those as the entire mass of the earth can produce in gravity!

Black holes are an exception because they have such a ridiculous amount of mass in a tiny space.

I am a bad luck gravity well then.

You mean you don't notice the fact that the sun is still nearby?
