You mean the same solar observatory in Sunspot that is still operational right now, and the same Hubble Space Telescope that is operational right now? Go on...Heavenly Warrior wrote: Why do you think the Sunspot Solar Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope were shutdown?

Yes, those ones. Also why do you think Kepler, AXIS 232D, SOAR Observatory, BRT Tenerife Telescope Webcam, Webcam located at Mauna Kea observatory,
Webcam from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope observatory in Hawaii, and the Webcam at JAT Observatory in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania were shut down? When do you think they will fix Kepler?

Okay, now you are gish gallopping. There is no point you are going to get to anyway, and I have better things to do than to look up all these references only to see that you are lying about them again, just as you were about the NSO in Sunspot and the Hubble Telescope.Heavenly Warrior wrote:

And yet, beyond "educate yourself, pooplord", none of it was presented here...Uzima Moto wrote: *actual. There's plenty. They've found enough for 911 alone to request it to be presented to the Grand Jury.. However, I doubt any mainstream presstitute media outlet will report on it..
I'm astonished at how in all your "research" you haven't come across ANY conspiracies? I mean, even the official narrative of 911 can be called a conspiracy theory..
Look, noone is claiming that every single official narrative of every event is complete and accurate. But there is, wouldn't you agree, a line between saying something like "maybe there are details of the story that are being deliberately withheld from the public for benign or nefarious reasons" and something like "darth vader from planet vulcan invented the transformers who spawned the reptilians on planet nibiru that built a death star dyson sphere in the oort cloud".
Now, surely, neither claim can be substantiated fully beyond any and all reasonable doubt, but the sheer amount of credulity required to buy into them, I'd assert, is far from equal. We should at any rate proportion our belief to the evidence, but we should also proportion our standard of evidence to the realism of the claim. It'd be almost surprising to find that 9/11 was a transparent claim, but it would be far more surprising to find that it was all planned, payed for, and executed by agents from within. But even with how extraordinary that is, it'd still be nothing compared to the mad ramblings we've been watching for the past ten pages of this thread and another dozen or so in an earlier one HW ran.
Do we want to give it that much legitimacy, though? Like I understand SIGs relating to different religious practices, say, insofar as people merge them with their Jediism. But can the same be said of this also?Rex wrote: Can we just make conspiracy theories or however you want to put it a SIG so these threads can be quarantined
I am sorry, I thought you were talking about the "Star Trek" exoplanet Vulcan. Peculiarities in Mercury's orbit have now been explained by Poincare's theory of general relativity. The planet Vulcan is probably not real, the exoplanet Vulcan might be real.

1. Who assassinated or attempted to assassinate Robespierre, Hegel, Goethe, Lenin, JFK, Reagan, and Darth Plagueis?
2. Why isn't there a planet between Mars and Jupiter?
3. Why aren't we receiving a signal from Kepler or Dawn?
4. Why can't we find Planet X?

No. Poincaré was a pioneer of special relativity which did precious little to explain Mercury's perihelion precession. What you mean is the theory of general relativity, as developed by Einstein. That came about a decade later.Heavenly Warrior wrote: Peculiarities in Mercury's orbit have now been explained by Poincare's theory of general relativity.
Generally it is difficult to find things that have no discernible effect on anything. In some sense it is not entirely unfair to say that "to exist" can really mean the same as to interact with something in some identifiable way which is why some would challenge the assertion of your secret planet's existence. Some ontologists might object to that definition, as surely would the platonists, but when it comes to items of the world surrounding us, it's a fairly usable and consistent one, nevertheless. A world, after all, where a thing does not "exist" isn't functionally different from one where it just doesn't interact with anything in any detectable fashion, so why assume the latter when so much simpler and more intuitive an interpretation is the former?Heavenly Warrior wrote: 4.

1. Some people think Hinckley shot Reagan to impress Jodie Foster, but I think Gog and Magog paid him to do it. The correct answer is "his apprentice".

I think cloudy is a better description than fuzzy. I think that George Lucas believes that the destruction of Tiamat or Phaeton or the Fifth planet formed the asteroid belt.

I understand that Tiamat might have been destroyed by the Death Star. I understand that most myths might have originated with Sumerian and Akkadian Myths. I understand that the Nibirians might have came to Earth for two reasons. Have you read the Enuma Elis?

Yea but, midichloria were named afterwards so they don't count
I actually use the term myself to denote that healthy human microbiota, most notably living in the gut and perhaps even recently signs they might exist within the blood brain barrier and have direct interaction with the brain. The gut biota already has some good evidence pointing to their role to the immune system directly and indirectly to the brain, among other things. So for me, midichlorians are the healthy microorganisms living within us. There is even an emerging field of psychobiotics to this end....to give oneself a bump in the Force :silly:
