Male faculty for STEM subjects tend to reject studies that assert gender bias in their fields. So this is proof for their own gender bias and prejudiced rejection of female colleagues – at least according to Handley et al. Maybe so. But if Read the rest of this entry »

Some of the scientists involved in Boyajian et al. speculate that all the natural explanations examined so far come up short in one way or another and we ought to consider an extraterrestrial civilisation at work here. Maybe so. Let us wait and see and them come up with some evidence. What they published so far is entirely valid.

Life has adapted to and survived in the real world and its wildly variable and changing climates, so it should be obvious, that (nearly) all its feedbacks have to be negative and its physiological changes limited. It seems this has been obvious to all but the adherents of the man-made global warming religion, Read the rest of this entry »

I really want to know the Homo naledi fossils’ age now, but I’m totally at a loss to suggest a suitable dating method. We can be sure they are way out of the range for carbon. In the absence of dripstones and with neither heat nor light to reset radiometric clocks I have no idea what material to date.

If you believe Kolbabová et al., the diurnal melatonin cycle of calves is upset by the magnetic field from 50 Hz power lines at least in winter. Is it?

Every time you think the question of American settlement is near to becoming settled something new turns up to upset the apple-cart. This time Skoglund et al. have turned up evidence of two founding populations Read the rest of this entry »
(Ed. [JG] note: Definitely not the politically correct answer but so what. Feiglin is right. Europe is over, done, stick a fork in it. Perhaps go see it one more time to see what it looked like before it becomes the caliphate that it is destined to become. They sent Jews out in boxcars and now this is what’s coming back.)

“More and more politicians are publicly calling upon Israel to open its gates to the Syrian refugee,” said Moshe Feiglin on Sunday. “It began with Read the rest of this entry »

There is one inconsistency Leppard fails to explain. Seeing how little we find in regions, we consider to have been continuously inhabited for hundreds of thousands of years, how is it that artefacts left by single individuals in single lifetimes are found at all in the frequencies they obviously are on islands all over?
