Ahh, the good ol' times when the Sun revolved around the Flat Earth twice a day.

"I don't believe Nature could produce that level of detail..." (So-called "expert" attempting to argue that so-called "photographic evidence" of a so-called "ghost" must prove conclusively that ghosts "exist" because Nature is apparently incapable of producing anything so detailed as a human face).

Well, obviously. Only God can create a human face. If you believe Nature could have done it, you must be one of those evil pagans.

"If a man can walk 3 miles in an hour, and then discovers he can travel faster, is this a bit like time travel?

Say the basis for making a journey is walking speed, and this is world wide. Then someone creates a device or machine that can make the journey more quickly isn't this a form of travelling through time into the future?

If you imagine a car is a time machine - through the rear windscreen is the past, through the front windscreen is the future and in the car is the present. Through the side windows is the present as it happens in all across the universe.

The car gets you to the future more quickly."

There is no single classification system that can describe all the many variations of nerve injury.

From Wikipedia. Now, call me daft if you like, but I'd have thought that classifying them all as "nerve injury" might have done the job?

Stupid Wikipedia.

"Does Hydrogen cause things to be metal? if i place hydrogen in front of sulfate it makes it hydrogen sulfate which is a metal so does placing hydrogen infront of other elements make them metal?"

I assume this is a question from someone's GCSE Alchemy homework.
