His German wikipedia page has a lot more information and includes examples of failed machines designed by him.

Note specifically that the authors distinguish between a virus strain "emerging" and one being "established", with 1000 people infected being the decision point. This distinction alone can account for the result that new strains are only established in high-transmission phases. (Their figures...

Joseph Allen Hynek was an astronomy professor who operated a "Center for UFO Studies" with a toll-free hotline for 15 years. While at Northwestern Hynek continued to consult on the Air Force’s Project Blue Book. In March, 1966, he investigated a well-publicized UFO sighting in Michigan. His...

The point is, I didn't see any. I don't recall a single UFO report by an astronomer. Here's an anecdotal argument for why this might be (I enjoyed the whole article, which includes two "UFO sightings" by the author): Truth be told, amateur astronomers are lousy UFO reporters. We know the night...

First, I don't understand why you cite this in response to my post. The model used in this study certainly does not suggest that the virus mutates any faster or differently for vaccinated people. Generally, natural selection prefers mutations that replicate more efficiently; when nobody is...

SARS-CoV-2 variants are not caused by vaccines and numerous Variants of Concern (VOC) were detected prior to mass rollouts of vaccines, despite suggestions to the contrary online. [..] “Effectively, we are hearing so much more about viral variants in 2021 because, globally, we now have the...

Because focusing on these things usually leads down unfruitful avenues, Metabunk has a politeness policy, which I recommend (re-)reading in full, but which in particular asks us to Do not respond to the tone of their post instead of the content

No control group in either study. No idea if the subjects were "blinded", i.e. unaware of the biography of their donors. To find some things in common with their donors is akin to a non-psychic fortune teller doing a reading, which in this case wasn't even "cold", but probably informed. Looking...

Pubmed is just a database. The paper was actually published in "Medical Hypotheses". Medical Hypotheses will publish ideas or criticisms of ideas from any person, irrespective of whether any experimental testing of the ideas has been performed by the writer. Medical Hypotheses is a...

If the video looks similar to video that is known to not show anything odd, wouldn't it be foolish to claim that it does? unless you had more evidence? "this video shows odd movement of an object" shown to be instead produced by odd movement of the camera / image stabilisation "this video...

Most common, I would expect, is someone witnessing an unarmed robbery, and thinking it was an armed robbery. With UFOs, people don't often hallucinate or get pranked: judging by what ends up here (or in the blue book report), people actually see something in the sky that they can't identify...

"Modern science knows of energy as material physical energy, can be physically measured… light, magnet, sound etc." - "magnet" is not a form of energy (though "electromagnetic" is). - energy is often immaterial, e.g. sound energy moves through a material medium, but it is not matter itself...

My impression is that most UFO sightings have been identified as earthly or even hoaxes, which leaves the possible aliens in the minority of the sightings. You missed the point that the details of all UFO sightings are incomplete and inconsistent; and that it does not matter! Even in the...

The author of this quote would fail advanced science in high school.

Are you certain that everyone who thinks they witnessed an armed robbery actually saw one? Because I don't believe that claim is true. Such cases include a Michigan state trooper who shot and killed an unarmed homeless man in Detroit as he was shuffling toward him, the man’s pants down past his...

"The Illustrated Guide To Law" has a chapter on eyewitness testimony, it starts at https://lawcomic.net/guide/?p=2995 with an example case. After that, it goes into the science of how our memories work, and what makes them unreliable. That section starts at https://lawcomic.net/guide/?p=3029

Yes, it's a good translation, but the translation introduces ambiguity not present in the original, because English "order" has several distinct German translations, like "Ordnung" (organized state of things), "Orden" (a society or a medal), "Auftrag" (a command or a list of things to buy)...

an equatorial mount and an astronomical telescope

nah, that text is a bad translation either way (unless it's a re-write by Goldmann himself) because of these weird commentary-like inserts in place where they actually remove meaning -- it might be a good translation with commentary that lost its formatting to make the commentary recognizable as...
