NASA New Conference

*drinks beer #5* yep that's what I thought. *buuurrrpp*

I didn't want to steal his bandwidth and anyone who doesn't know the strip isn't the sort of person we truck with.

Interesting. So one(or a few even) scientist questioned another scientist's methods and results. I can't believe this would happen.

So the paper that shows how they found the microbe, not bug like these idiots keep saying, was peer reviewed and published and they held the conference... and now a bunch of scientists are saying there is something wrong and instead of testing it out they are just complaining like idiots...

I think that's part of the question this article is bringing to light.... the lack of peer review. Plus the fact that NASA made a big deal about this via a news conference but won't comment on it in the same media. I don't think anyone said anyone was an idiot, just that they questioned their methods. NASA did say they'd offer samples for others to test, but even that didn't sound so convincing.

No, actually, it's not. The article clearly states that the paper was peer reviewed and published. It's that several scientists don't think it should have been and when they are told to go do science, they are all like "well you made a media announcement so we can try to get some fame too!"

This media nonsense isn't at all what should be happening. What should be happening is those guys go and do the experiments without the "errors" they are claiming they made and then go "look this is what you said you did which caused this result you got, but when we did this it shows that your testing method is what caused the results to come up like so and not what it actually is"

That is all they need to do, but so far they are refusing to do so. The detractors may be right, but they are going about this nonsense the wrong way... and it is mainly a backlash because NASA didn't haul out ET and a lot of people are complete idiots when it comes to language.

Also, while NASA may have jumped the gun, I think it's ok for NASA to do from time to time because they get their funding from the government and as such need to announce something that might be important to the general public every now and then.

I think we just read completely different articles. Other than the last two or three paragraphs where the guy directly says they were being hypicrits, the rest of the article lists very specific things by (per the article) very knowledgeable people that the NASA researchers did/potentially did in error.

Does it say anything about them refusing to "do the science"? Not that I saw or read. I even went back and re-read it in case I had missed something in my comprehension of the English language. I have been known to be a "complete idiot when it comes to language" at times.

Again, this goes back to the arguement earlier that someone has come up with a scientific discovery; it's already been accepted by some people as accurate/fact/true/whatever and those people will not listen to an opposing view. Thanks for demonstrating my point.

My sarcastic surprise was just that.... sarcastic. Was I surprised someone questioned the original paper? No. Was I surprised someone questioned the questioning of the original paper? No. I just thought I'd try (unsuccessfully) to point out that there was more (though assumptive in nature) info to the OP. Next time I'll just link to the article and go on my merry way.

Oh I give up. I'm going back to drinking and just going to quit trying to make any points on the internet.

They are searching for "Planet X"

The so called planet of Naberiu, where the Annanaki came from, and on this probe that they are sending out is followed by the message..

"You Gene-Altering Mutha-@$%#&'ers!!!"
