Now that magic is valid in science I'm openly challenging gravitational theory in my science class: |
|
I'm calling it, "Intelligent Falling."
Thanks to Richard Dawkins.

1. I would've gone with Intelligent Sucking myself. |

2. science is approaching magic (think quantum physics). It may get there eventually. |

3. And the whole problem is that it's still a theory of gravity |
|
science happily NAMED it, but can't splain it, Lucy. So....it's up for grabs.

12. Law's are still theories |
|
In science, there are truly no laws, only theories.
Even a "Law" can still be demonstrated to be false and a new theory presented to replace it.

9. Well since science can't explain the 30% of the produced greenhouse gases that escape into space |
|
I think it is because of over consumption of gravity.
I think Western Nations are too fat and are using too much gravity. Therefore, I am instituting a cap and trade system for gravity credits. I will administer it cheaply, and therefore will only take a few million off the top each year.
Those that don't pay the tax will just float away. It might solve a lot of er.....problems for the gravity deprived countries out there.

13. Speaking of gravity did anyone see that meditating Buddhist/Hindu woman in Brazil |
|
practically floating by just holding a stick?
I saw her doing this on television but I can't remember the network, apparently she travels the world over doing this. I just caught a few minutes of it.
