The Expansion Tectonics of Europa

I'm waiting for you to respond to this: http://www.sciforums.com/showpost.php?p=2036216&postcount=71

I explained why Myers is an ignorant wacko and particularly why his claims against subduction are nonsense. As for the one paper you are reading, why did it take you so long to answer my question? Why didn't you say "Respond to post 71 first" immediately? You're just looking for excuses. Besides it has one citation in 6 years, that's the classic calling card of a paper noone things is worth the paper it's written on. One of the authors is not an academic (ie Kennedy), but someone who has a complete biased view and while superficially might be someone whose employed by an actual energy company, 'Gas Resources Corporation' is not an energy company but just a 'sock puppet company' the author has created. If I signed all my correspondences 'AlphaNumeric, British Academy for the Advancement of Particle and Astronomical Physics' it wouldn't make my ideas any more valid and it would be deliberately misleading to readers because it would seem at first glance I'm part of some group who are viable physicists.

Got anything which has more citations than you have brain cells, ie 3?

I guess I'll have to wait forever then. Too bad you aren't interested in a conversation.

Does you 'waiting forever' also imply you won't be posting any more drek, like forever??

 

Keep up the good work OIM; these videos add validity to your cause.

 

Simply ignoring that I just responded doesn't mean I didn't respond.

The comments about subduction in your post are wrong. Flat out wrong. And I have addressed why. The 'paper' you link to has no accreditation within the academic community and at least one of the authors is biased and ignorant about physics. And by asking someone to explain why, you are demonstrating your own ignorance of physics and chemistry, as both Trippy and I have explained to you. Denying you've been schooled on such things many times doesn't mean you haven't.

You are a hypocrite for telling others to read up on things you yourself do not read up on.

I am. I ask you questions, you ignore them. Denying I attempt to engage you in conversation doesn't mean I haven't. Do you think other people will suddenly be unable to see my posts just because you deny they exist?

You are just like Kaneda. You demand answers and then ignore when they are provided, because they aren't the answers you want to hear. It's very pathetic of you.

 

Sadly there is no author referenced named Kennedy which makes me question your literacy and reading comprehension.

 

The fact it's obvious I'm referring to 'Kenney', particularly since I specifically talk about the author/owner of http://www.gasresources.net/ and there's only one letter difference shows how dishonest you have to be in a desperate attempt to 'win' a discussion. Are your literacy and comprehensive skills so poor you cannot associate concepts/words like Kennedy and 'Gas Resources Corporation' is not an energy company but just a 'sock puppet company' the author has created with the author 'Kenney' of http://www.gasresources.net/ ?

Do you think people will question whether I read your links, after I talk about the incorrect claims about subduction your links make? Are you that desperate in your claims?

You really are desperate, aren't you? :roflmao:

 

Thank you for your kindness...

An appeal to authority is only fallacious when teh authority is not an expert on the topic. Were that not the case, it would be logically invalid to go to doctors when you are sick or to talk to a lawyer when arrested (after all, they are nothing more than "authorities" on medical and legal matters, respectively).

http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/appeal-to-authority.html sets up standards that are useful in evaluating permissible and imperssible invocations of authority.

Europa, Blackish/reddish appearing lines in my opinion maybe from Iodine concentrations?

OilIsMastery. If you want to know AlphaNumeric's opinion on anything, just check it out on the internet. That'll save AN doing it and writing it up in his own stolen words.

 

Get this: according to Plate Tectonics mythology, Earth is the only planet in the universe with subduction zones.

LOL. Wow they are really desperate now.

 

Of which you have no evidence other than your dislike of being told you're wrong and then shown to be wrong. Ben, D H, JamesR et al all agree with me, yet I'm the one who, you claim, steals all his posts. Not that you present any evidence. You just hope if you keep telling everyone the guy whose proven he's a physicist/mathematician is a thief maybe that'll mean you aren't as wrong as everyone knows you are.

Showing someone else wrong (not that you've managed that) doesn't make you automatically right. Science isn't "Us or them!". But the nuances of science are not known to you.

 

There you go again, Commandment Breaker. Your post is a lie, appeals from ridicule, is a red herring, is a hasty generalization, and quotes out of context, all in a few short words. Very good. It is quite rare that one gets to observer someone as adept at breaking the ninth commandment as are you.

 

In what way is my post a lie?

Funny but that has nothing to do with tectonics.

 

Question, is OIM still posting stuff refutable by things learned in middle school?

 

Do you know the difference between the solar system and the universe? Or shall we find a 7 year old to explain it to you?

Practically nothing you say has anything valid to do with science in general. That isn't our fault.

 

Nice straw man. I guess that's the only way to make it fair for plate tectonics. Do you know what space is?

I forgot you're illiterate. Even if it was the solar system, plate tectonics would still be a joke.

 

How is it a strawman? You asked what about your post was a lie, I pointed out you claimed mainstream physics was talking about the universe when your own post quoted 'solar system'. Hence you lied.

And nice try at creating your own strawman, what has the definition/properties of space got to do with your claims about plate tectonics.

And I notice you never retorted my criticism of Myers's claim about subduction.

I'm illiterate because you read 'solar system' as 'universe'? Good one.

Which of us just got schooled on basic physics and chemistry? You. Which of us can demonstrate working understanding of physics and chemistry? Me.

So you admit you misread it?

It's not like it's got a load of evidence and Myers's claims are both lacking in evidence and actually contradict evidence or anything like that....

Even if it was the solar system,
