Alongside the double helix and relativity theory? A little hyperbolic don't you think? Especially since GW differs from molecular biology and relativity in one key respect --- the latter two are actually true.

After watching the old episodes, I realized why we can all recall that music...it was because it was the ONLY music, and they played it over and over during the show.

Wacthing some of those old episodes graciously posted on you tube --- did you notice that getting bent on Sea Hunt was something akin to having a bad cold, and that being popped into a chamber was not a big deal? Like being put into a phone booth for a few minutes and presto! good as new...

Amazon lists 4 available sets of 128 episodes on 32 DVds for about 120 dollars, but the reviewers said the quality was uneven at best.

Many years ago, as a surgical resident, I was assisting a surgeon who was, and is, one of the most famous in his field. He ran into some serious trouble and immediately summoned a junior colleague for help and assistance. It seemed odd to me that a superstar surgeon of such talents, such...

On our last trip to the Grand Canyon, a ranger told us that the trails have been used for "marital mishaps", including the case of a woman who was thought to have committed suicide...until the medical examiner found some of her husband's hair tangled on one of her hands. Of course, this may be...

Now that you mention it...I suppose it had something to do with not killing the stunt divers...

I recall when Mike Nelson fought underwater, he usually ended up ripping the other guy's mask off or cutting his regulator hose... I remember a lot of communicating by banging his knife on his tank, and numerous cave rescues when he had to teach some neophyte how to breathe off a regulator (bite...

FOXNews.com - Alabama Man Questioned Over Wife's 2003 Australian Diving Death - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News An odd story of interest to the dive community, someone suspected of murdering his wife during a honeymoon dive trip several years ago to...

After a lot of digging around on the web, I found out several things: 1) the answer to your question does not seem to be known with any certainty 2) the middle ears of seals are lined with a vascular mucosa that can become engorged with blood and swell as the animals dive, thus obliterating...

Bob Carter was one of the scientists who testified before Congress during the last GW hearings, but his view didn't get much press. I heard him talk on a local radio show in the US and that was the first time I heard that the paleological ice core record of CO2 shows that temp goes up before...

No, from what I have read, the discrepancy is in the many hundreds of years. Curiously, this time lag seems to be uncontested, even by pro-GW people who continue to point to the "correlation" historically of CO2 and temp in the ice record, despite the fact that temp rises first. Besides, even if...

I am just bringing this up as a query, I am sure I will get grief about it since it is apparently a sore area of contention, but do not those paleological CO2 ice samples show that yes, there is a correlation between temp and CO2, but also that temp rises first and CO2 rises 800 to 1000 years...

So we are somehow "special" among species? We somehow have a unique responsibility to the environment that no other species has? Why? The animals are looking only to eat? What sort of nonsense is that? All species proliferate and manipulate their environment to their benefit, to the fullest...

Good point about the taxes. I don't mean to throw emotional hand grenades, I am merely questioning those who so strongly believe the planet is in peril that we should strong arm others into certain modes of behavior (examples: Portland wants a carbon tax, California wants to make incandescent...

Isn't the whole debate about whether humans HAVE actually done anything to affect global warming???? And, once again, don't equate GW with "pollution". Being skeptical of human greenhouse cases as a cause of catastrophic climate change does not equal being in favor of pollution. I don't want...

What we are talking about here is carbon dioxide emissions, not "crap". People who doubt GW are not advocating dumping benzene in the water or coating playground equipment in lead paint. Are there concerns about the carcinogenic effects of hydrocarbon use, damage to ecosystems by drilling, etc...

Another example: there are a class of computer models known as neural networks. These models are "trained" on large sets of past data and can be used to predict future behavior. Basically, software "learning rules" are used to derive empirical relationships among many inter-related variables...

What species "respects" the environment? Do algae care that they converted the atmosphere from methane to oxygen, "wrecking" the environment of their era? Do shellfish care if they disturb the calcium flux of the oceans, or that the massive weight of their numbers sinking to the ocean floor may...

A perfect example of what me call "I had a guy once..." medicine. You may well still be here if you hadn't taken the drug, too. Anecdotal reports are basically worthless for basing sound clinical decisions. That's why we do prospective controlled trials of medications. Gene therapy sounded like...
