Star triangle paradox

Why would James ban me? With the number of views the thread has gotten in short amount of time, he would be crazy.

Not to mention i have not broken any rules, am courteous to other members etc.

Edit: Then again, James has been fair in responding.

Hey guys, what do you think of this?

Why are they shaped like balls?

Do you think that is accurate?

Are they pulsing?

This was entertaining for awhile but, not anymore. John99 is a blackhole of stupidity that keeps sucking in all this data with nothing coming back.

I vote permaban. I'd much rather be reading these participants posts in threads that I learn something from or am interested in. The fact that he hasn't bothered to learn the basic properties of light or simply how we "see" it during his last ban puts him in the "lost cause" bin for me.

PS - eradicate rats n' roaches ? derp.

James R said:
What evidence do you have that you can see light emitted by a bulb that is swtiched on 3 metres away from you instantaneously, rather than after a delay of 10 nanoseconds - the time it takes the photons to travel from the bulb to you?

Answer: I dont have evidence for that.

Then do you withdraw your claim? Yes or no?

At this point, since you admit you have no evidence or support for the claim you made, you must withdraw it or be banned.

In your next post to this thread, you will withdraw your claim.

Think carefully if you decide not to do this. You are staring down the barrel of a permanent ban from sciforums. I really don't want to ban you (again) over such a trivial matter, but if you insist on being obtuse and trolling, I will have no choice.

Don't try to test me to see whether I'll go through with this. Your 3 previous bans on this topic ought to tell you that I will.
 
jesus christ john99 just come out and say "yes, light travels at 186,282 miles per second".
i don't think morely will turn over in his grave.

WTYF does the number of views have to do with anything?

Apart from these you mean?
Posting of similar responses and topics repeatedly.
Avoiding giving answers to direct questions put to them.
Never attempting to justify their position.
Demanding proof or evidence from others while offering none in return.
Vanishing when their bluff is called, only to reappear in a different thread arguing the same point.
Deliberately derailing discussions onto tangential matters in order to try to control the flow of discussion.

And another diversion...
 
John99:

Please post a clear withdrawal of your claim. Your one word "withdrawn" is not clear.
 
I am tempted to take these guys off ignore just to see if they are adding to the discussion.

Are they discussing light? are they discussing science?

Why would you bother taking people off ignore if they're discussing science?
It's not something you do, or are capable of.
 
Strange having people respond and not even seeing their contributions. But what are the chances they said something fruitful? something worth reading.
 
and i ask, what is the window for greatness? Every day we look at a clock that runs forward while ours runs backward.

I withdraw the claim. I never believed in it 100% anyway. How could i since it has never been demonstrated? Does not mean it never will be.
