@Glass,

sea anemones only live for 30-80yrs

if not from "old age",  what then would you say causes their spontaneous death, at the end of their lifespan?

OK   now I can't resist   evolution /big bangs    would be something like a typhoon going threw a junkyard and building a 747  Chet

Just some more mental masturbation.

There have been plenty of times that someone says something is impossible.

Churches have done it.
Governments have done it.
Science has done it.
Medicine has done it.

All authorities that are supposed to be granted much respect.

Many times they are correct, or seen to be correct until something upsets the apple cart, and then "everyone" sees that that wasn't the case.

If churches were right there would be only one religion.
If governments were right history would have no revolutions.
If science was right Einstein (sp?) would have been laughed back to the patent office.
If medicine was right penicillan would still be moldy bread, leaches would still be used, and surgeons would not was their hands before surgery.

I'm not saying that Archer isn't mad as a hatter. That the guy has not the best grammatical skills and seems to be a rambling storyteller when relating scientific concepts. But that doesn't have snot to do with his cognitive abilities in other realms.

I'm not saying with absolute faith that what he has promised, he can deliver either. But all I have to do is wait to find out if that is the case.

Screw waiting.

I have ideas (and he sparked them), I have the materials and tools to "mentally masturbate" in my free time, and I have a goal that is historically proven to perhaps be folly since it's been sought throughout time.
But I have to think.......How long have neo-mags been around? (Not that long I'm thinking. Certainly not since the dawn of time.)
When was the electromagnet discovered? (I'd think it's recent discovery was within the last 200 years.)
Didn't Da Vinci play w/ perpetual motion ideas? (Yeah, he did. That should mean that all his other ideas were bunk too.)

I have had a lifetime full of others telling me "This is good" or "This is bad". Often times I can SEE that they are incorrect but if I want to make it through a process, I have to parrot these falicies back to them to get through the ordeal since I learned long ago that some fights are better fought subversively by presenting that it will/won't work again and again without asking permission to try.

The bumblebee is not supposed to be able to fly.

But if you look here:

....there is another story about that. Didn't seem to stop the popularity of the above statement though.

Anyway, the paint is dry. Time to go back to work!

ZERO Not having performed this experiment [as you must have] im not qualified to comment on your findings    PLEASE teach me how to quote your soooo. good at it thanks   Chet

Archer hasn't performed this experiment either, yet that didn't seem to alleviate your compulsion to cheer-lead on his behalf.

There are many ways to quote, chet.  You could use, for example, quotation marks.
