Nobody's Exactly Sure How Much A Kilogram Is Right Now
hatsixNot exactly... grams measure mass, not weight. Imperial Units have the 'slug', which doesn't change based on where you are measuring.
The metric system DOES have units of measurement that change based on where you are at on the globe, called newtons.
This only applies to the metric system. For the empirical system, it gets even more confusing. Here's a simple quote from NASA's Pre-Jesus era website:
The effective acceleration of gravity at the poles is 980.665 cm/sec/sec while at the equator it is 3.39 cm/sec/sec less due to the centrifugal force. If you weighed 100 pounds at the north pole on a spring scale, at the equator you would weigh 99.65 pounds, or 5.5 ounces less.
Whenever we talk about weight in pounds, we need to define where with respect to the center of our little bluey.
How to tell if you believe in Bullsh*t
hatsixWe have high school students sending cameras into space. Testing the air at 30k would cost < $500/balloon. If all of the chemtrail theorists put in $100, they could EASILY afford to acquire the 'proof' they needed.
1) Decide what chemicals you want to test for
2) Select a way to test for those chemicals in the air. (active vs passive?)
3) When "Chemtrail" spotted, send up 50+ Weather Balloons in vicinity w/ chemical tester across range... 1 per half mile = 25 mile spread. (it takes 30 mins to climb to 30k feet)
4) Retrieve devices.
5) If no chemicals were found, either:
A) Dispersal of the chemical via chemtrail is terribly inefficient, absolutely no reason to worry
B) No chemicals were found
OR... and here is the brilliant part. Monitor chemicals on the ground. If they are in high enough concentration to have an effect on the human body, they'll be high enough to detect on the ground.
Testing that contrails are nothing but H20 would require a high-altitude drone or just charter a flight. It isn't that difficult to test, but the chemtrails theorists wouldn't trust a non-chemtrails theorist (otherwise they'd be over it for now).
To be fair I can't test the hypothesis that contrails are H2O either.
And then for headaches = wifi etc I think some people don't understand why their experience isn't sufficient evidence, or rather what constitutes an experiment.

hatsixHe did. I was baiting SB, as Christianity has the same failings that Empiricism has... I just wanted SB to argue against himself to show how intellectually dishonest he is.
Didn't David Hume come to a similar conclusion though?
