Is there zero connection between String Theory and the paranormal?

Does String Theory help to explain... but not necessarily debunk some aspects of the paranormal?

Good points... thank you for that post ..... but....... were the Jewish people of the decade before Colombus sailed toward the "West Indies" at all worried that the time might come when they might need to make another "Exodus" out of Roman Catholic Europe?
Nope. There were plenty of closer places they could escape to.
 
Yes.... I admit it.... E nucleofilum is by definition an "organism"....
but my definition for the word "organism" applies not only here in four dimensional space - time where electromagnetism, gravity, weak and strong nuclear force are separate from each other but........

... has some sort of validity in fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth dimensional space time as well!
Only crackpots redefine terms to suit their own purposes. This lands somewhere between begging the question and no true Scotsman.
 
You think that a bunch of backyard conspiracy theorists is likely to do a better job of deciding what is "obviously probable" than scientists?

Which books are you referring to? Books by whom?

Which groups? What knowledge?

What is "advanced fringe science theory"? I've never heard of that before.

Fringe ideas are ... on the fringes. They have never been a scientific focus. Or maybe, more accurately, I should say that they have attracted enough attention from serious scientists in the past for them to be examined thoroughly enough to be confident in dismissing them as worthless, in many cases. Most fringe "investigations" lack anything reminiscent of scientific rigour or objectivity, so it doesn't take much time focusing on them to conclude that they are bunk.
See, this is a pattern. What do you hope to accomplish there? How is that challenging or rewarding for you? Haven't you basically said the same things to the same people over and over? Is it just naive optimism?

I know you hate having this pointed out, but I'm seriously curious. I can't fathom that being fun or worth the time.
I guess it makes sense according to the adage that you are the average of the 10 people you spend time with, whether it's here or IRL.

In my defence you might be kind of surprised what my long term purposes for my participation on Sciforums might be, (hint... the "Politics" subforum has a discussion entitled "Would an intelligently created UBI be dangerous for the environment"..... that will give you an idea of what I am hoping may emerge over the next ten years from Sciforums.

That's not a defense. That's boring, trolling bullshit. If you keep showing up on my notifications, you'll just end up on ignore, with all the other trolls and and mental defectives.

You do tend to make a sincere effort to be truthful don't you?
vociferous, clamorous, blatant, strident, boisterous, obstreperous mean so loud or insistent as to compel attention. vociferous implies a vehement shouting or calling out. vociferous cries of protest and outrage clamorous may imply insistency as well as vociferousness in demanding or protesting.

Remember when I told you, a few weeks ago, that I'd leave my motivations a mystery for you to ponder?

I guess you've spent quite a lot of the intervening time pondering.

Why are you so fixated on me? Why do you keep demanding that I pay attention to you? Is it important to you that I pay attention to you?
Nice little lecture in lieu of just telling me why you want to interact with him. Apparently, I don't have as much free time as you seem to. Sue me.
I haven't been around this forum for about 3 or 4 weeks now. I'm sure you've noticed. But you're still stuck exactly where you were the last time you and I spoke.

Why do you feel the need to bemoan your lack of free time to me? Deal with your own life issues. You know next to nothing about my mine.
I doesn't take much time to reply to you nowadays.
Well, bully for you! It's good that you're learning time management, I guess, what with your busy schedule and all.
And if you can't/won't tell me why you enjoy crackpots so much, why should I care?
When did I ask you to care? You keep bugging me, not the other way around. Why do you want to be in my face all the time? Stop being so needy.
What I was referring to was where you complain about what I haven't read, including whining about things I addressed in direct response to you, but you missed.
Look, this is ridiculous. You've had three or four weeks to process my previous reply to you. Go back and review where you started this, and how I commented on that. The first complaint, you will recall, was yours.
Where did I say you should act like anything? It's actually you doing all the lecturing about how I should act. Quit projecting.
You seem awfully concerned about how I interact and with whom I choose to interact. In particular, you keep demanding that I pay attention to you. Try to find some other interests.
Seems that would be the only worthwhile challenge involved. But again, maybe you find it plenty challenging/rewarding as it is.
Waving your penis again. Why do you feel the need to do that? Why is it so important to you to think yourself smarter than I am? And why do you have to keep asserting that it to other people?

You're kidding, right? It's been almost a month (perhaps you failed to notice that), and I have long since forgotten about this post. So much so that I was surprised that your reply in this thread was even to me at all. I thought that, certainly, your engagement with Dennis was far more pressing for you and you had simply ignored me, as this post of yours seems to both indicate your desire to do and contradict with it's attention. And to be honest, I'm fairly certain I've already pegged why you prefer engaging with such people. Just thought I'd give you a change to correct my assumptions, and you have quite explicitly refused to. So my assumptions stand. I'm good with that. I didn't bemoan anything, although it's interesting that's how you chose to read it. And I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. To the contrary, I started this line of discussion by paying you a genuine compliment, but you didn't seem interested in that. That's okay too. Um, you do know that you're capable of just ignoring me, right? At least, I don't think I have any kind of leverage that could possibly coerce your attention. So please, if my posts bother you so much, by all means, ignore them. It won't hurt my feelings in the least.
Your complaint "about what I haven't read, including whining about things I addressed in direct response to you, but you missed" was in another thread. If you really want me to, I can show you exactly where, but I doubt you do. Again, you seem to be the one intent on telling me how I should act. I was only asking you why, not telling you to stop. I'm not sure how replying to you a handful of times on the same subject is demanding anything. Do you feel like replies to you take on the character of a command or compulsion? Where did I say I was smarter than you? Just because I can't see how something may be a worthwhile challenge doesn't mean that it isn't. But I didn't mean to bring up any insecurities. Sorry, James.

*sigh*

See my response in the other thread in which, apparently, we have to have a parallel discussion on the same topic.
Yet of all the replies I'm sure you've amassed in a month, you only deigned to reply to mine.
Wrong again.
