   Curses! You've figured it out – evolution is all just an elaborate hoax, and now you've gone and ruined it for us all! Whatever will I do with my life now? Oh, woe is me!
   Um – I don't suppose it has occurred to you that these news stories might possibly be somewhat inaccurately protrayed by the person or persons you got the information from? Did you actually go and read those articles for yourself? (and no, I haven't either – I also would be a bit skeptical of a story that said "Scientists have found that the moon is made of green cheese!", and would probably not go to the trouble of checking it skeptically).

   All metal is heavy metal. Sub genres are more specific, heavy metal isnt really specific… but i could be wrong

   Slarti: Just so you don’t think that I am the only one who doesn’t think that the paper provided adequate support to justify its conclusions, here is a post from that thread (emphasis added):Is that all you’re going to do; copy and paste posts from forums that are in such haste to bash Jones they can’t even get the primary author’s name right? Pretty sad in comparison to Enrico’s analysis.Slarti: “they need to do their due diligence and turn their weak case that the chips MIGHT be thermitic into a real case that the chips MUST be thermitic (in particular, doing the DSC tests in an inert atmosphere in order to show that the materials were energetic in the absence of air would be a big step in the right direction). “I brought that up in my previous post, which you completely ignored; more evidence of your desire to ‘talk over’ rather than discuss. Nonetheless, here’s another chemical engineer’s take on the red/gray chips:RADIO INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT Mark Basile: “The other interesting thing about these chips that really kind of shows you that they are the nano-thermite, is that when you take these small little chips and you ignite them… If you woulda take one and grind it up beforehand; just the red layer… There is no free iron in it. When I say free iron, like, you know, little beebees of iron metal, that exist in these. You know it’s iron oxide, it’s not free iron. But when you ignite one, and then you break it up afterwards, you basically find these little droplets, although they’re not actually I mean, as a portion of the total volume of the chip they rather significant, but they’re still small because these chips are small. But you basically produce molten iron, which then when it cools down again becomes these droplets of iron. As well as the whole the nanostructure that I talked about there, kind of gets destroyed in large part during this combustion process, but some of it at the end is still there and all these inner chambers basically are coated with a very thin metallic layer after it freezes again, so… There is few interesting things that go on in them.”Full interview transcript here: “The fact that Dr. Jones has not attempted to get independent verification of his results or …”Your reading comprehension skills are atrocious. Harrit and Farrar are the lead authors; not Jones. You can’t be that intellectually lazy; or can you.Finally, if you’re just going to fish for random complaints about the paper as posted to a blog by casual observers, in lieu of actually engaging in a discussion, i.e. responding to what I write, then I’m afraid we can no longer say you are engaged in any meaningful argumentation.

   No, that is not true regarding your findings on metallurgy. Unesco has been trying to find evidence of Africa developing metallurgy and what you are quoting is a fabrication of a black out of Africa Afro-Centrist.Africans living on the western shores of Lake Victoria, in Tanzania, had produced carbon steel that later gave life to the Industrial Revolution.Archaeological evidence for iron production has often been based on iron artifacts found in the field. Artifacts are often in poor condition from corrosion and can be unidentifiable. Basing a context of origins to the specimens is unreliable as it is possible that the artifact may have been made somewhere completely different to where it was discovered (possibly even imported!). Solid evidence for iron production includes; the used bowl (foundation) of furnaces, tuyères and slag (from the furnace or forging process). The bloom itself and bellows are rarely found. Evidence of mining and beneficiation of iron ore can also be used as evidence; however it is possible that after beneficiation the ore travelled far to the next stage of production. Meaning it could have been imported from other civilizations such as Egypt which regularly traded gold and other metals for slaves.The origin of iron metallurgy in Africa is hotly disputed by archaeologists. The first evidence for iron in Africa dates back as far as the second millennium BC. The vast scale of the continent, accessibility, political and cultural barriers have caused difficulties in finding a good database of evidence to help diagnose when and where origins lie. It has now been recognized that trying to put the origins in some kind of chronological order is not currently possible with the archaeological evidence available and controversial when attempted. Most of your facts are based on an Afro-Centrists author who distorted facts and created outright fabrications to try and cloud the obvious reality of metallurgy in Africa. What was discovered near Lake Victoria is similar to finding a tin can in beach and saying that you have found evidence of extra terrestrials. There is nothing that will verify their assumptions and most of it is fabricated. So you see what needs to be deduced that African’s developed metallurgy theory is mostly fabricated and not based on anything that has been or will be discovered.Also regarding those West African language systems, Yoruba and N’ko, they were all developed with the aid of western missionaries in the 1850s to help translate the bible into their tongue. The pictographs you speak of were just that, basic cave drawings and not a written language.I hate ghetto racist rants. If that what King Tut had said was spoken by a white man, he would never work again, possibly killed and justified under hate crime laws or find himself in diversity training for the rest of his life. If that is hating then so be it. I am glad your experience is so positive. For me, I have found the overwhelming majority of my experience with black people to be that they are more violently racist then any klan member could ever be.

   Nathan Carter makes great use of a soldering iron… it is metal work – right? Or wrong??Have you ever used one Bill? I'm so very clumsy with one in my hand!!”Volume” looks very cool – and it's a Dutch publication… gotta love the Dutch – David's Dad's side is Dutch I do have an interest in spacial design and architecture. We (creativehq) do work for an annual Innovation Lecture, and I really wanted to attend the one last year, but couldn't make it! The speaker was the architect/engineer/designer of “The Cube” – Olympic pool. The concept came from soap bubbles and the building was designed with energy consumption in mind… as alot are these days. This year the creator of the Google Earth software is doing the talk… I'm interested in that also!!

   Do you know that Gold is often combined or “alloyed” with other metals such as iron, nickel, silver, steel, or zinc to make it stronger.

   Is it made of rock or iron?
   if its iron or metal, it might be a ball that used ti be tied to a large chain , used for de-bushing. i`ve seen some in zambia

    1. estimate the amount of water being evaporated. you could weigh cloth dry and wet, and find the water weight.
    then use the 2.26kJ * gram weight of water being evaporated during ironing.

    2. if the water cools by 1 degree, it will warm the platinum 32 degrees. if the water cools another degree, the platinum will warm to 64 degrees. if the water cools one more degree, the platinum is now at 96 degrees, and the water is at 97 degees, so we are pretty close to the final temp, between 96 and 97.

    3. aluminum would be good for holding lots of heat to evaporate the water, discounting it's light weight. it has the highest specific heat

    4. aluminum would raise it most.
    platinum least

    There are many of the common characteristics of CD whch are not normal for a plane impact/building collapse, but debunkers attempt to rationalize every one as if they are normal. Are explosions all throughout the building normal for a plane impact and fire limited to 4-8 floors? How about explosions BEFORE the impact? How about demolition flashes? Pre-collapse ground shaking? Really? I will trust in probability and historical data.
