It is a shame that the POLITICS thread is the only one that stays current up to the minute. We should be discussing the SEARCH , cosmology and our next ventures into space and exploration

Isn't that what the 2 science threads are for?

I know what you mean. Sometimes the space and science forums go days without any new content but the politics forum rarely goes more than an hour without any new entries. And most of it is restating and rehashing the same old rhetoric.

Politics is about peoples opinions and we all have those. There is a really low entry barrier for participation. Science threads on the other hand, well they require scientific advances and breakthroughs, and people need to actually know a thing or two about the scientific field before they can participate in a meaningful way in a discussion about it. In other words, there is a much higher barrier.

Besides, politics is something that happens everyday. Science? Meh, if taken across every field of science then yeah, but looking at specific fields? Not so much.

+ a million but we all have to live in a society where Science isn't a priority:( With the fundings we have, it'll be hard to find any signal of alien origin. Maybe if we had the full Very Large Array......

I think it is useful for people like us to have discussions about scientific and space developments as it serves to spread knowledge of the subjects throughout the community. But we must be careful to investigate some claims that have been posted here before jumping on the bandwagon and repeating stories that have no factual basis.

I, for one, was surprised at the lack of interest in the aerial wind turbine project that I reported on several weeks ago. Only 8 responses and only a couple of them even regarded the subject seriously.

We leave Science, and other Highly Technical Fields (as long as they don't become Political), to The Experts.

At least in SETI@HOME, and other BOINC Projects, we amateur's can participate.



Hmmm, shouldn't we leave Politics to the experts as well for that matter?

Yes. Lets join Number Crunching / Panic Mode On (89) Server Problems instead.
There they are truly discussing the SEARCH , cosmology and our next ventures into space and exploration

Most of restating and rehashing the same old rhetoric is very much used by politicians. Election here within some weeks.

And where are the discussion from the SETI team?
I haven't seen any for years.

And the science forum is always open...
