Yes it was a scam, to get viking settlers to go there seeking a new home. Greenland was a huge scam and many died from the cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will they think of next . spacesailor Even if that were true, most reputable scientists would label it a hypothesis and conduct expierments to prove it is likely, then publish their results in reputable journals that would be peer revieed (crtiqued) before being accepted. They will be very clear about what is a hypothesis, results of expirements/studies, and peer accepted. There are always exceptions, but the scientific coimmunity will normally be very vocal when one goes feral and tries to claim science before it has gone through the process. Of course, those that make unilateral announcements of Sky News and the like don't generally fall into the reputable scientist category. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Yes , they wouldn't except my ' theory ' ,that it was the moon. That was smashed by a ' killer ' asteroid. And a large piece fell onto our world . Someone will take credit IF they, take it further . spacesailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacesailor Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 HEY . I'M NOT THAT OLD . I just don't remember that well now. Before " Gondwanaland " , Also they ( nameless ) boffin, have stated , there is evidence of ' alien ' rocks in our Earth. ( could it be , that ' Killer ' asteroid) . spacesailor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Judging by the cratering on the moon which has no atmosphere the earth would have had many asteroids land here at high speed. which often causes them to burn up in the process. .

old man emu Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 1 hour ago, facthunter said: The are Black because light cannot escape it's gravitational pull.. Nev Which raises an interesting point. Is light particulate ( photon) or is it a waveform? If light cannot escape the gravitational pull of a black hole, then it implies that light is particulate because it is a component of a Force. =force =gravitational constant =mass of object 1 (black hole) =mass of object 2 (photon) ^2=distance between centers of the masses But we also know that light behaves as if it is a waveform.

facthunter Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 It's acted upon by gravity is the main factor in the Black hole situation as well as it's limited speed. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tuncks Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Not necessarily according to einstein nev. The black hole warps space-time and so light doesn't need any mass to be kept in. No I don't understand it either, but Newton has been proved wrong each time a GPS is used. Personally, I much prefer Newton stuff as I can understand it a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting that something that produces such a very important result in our modern world is still not fully understood. It seems that aircraft designers are happy with "We don't know why, but we know it works." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
