Well, I don't know about the very quickly part. I could imagine some aging professor that isn't as original anymore, and has to get that grant money in, so he fudges some numbers hoping nobody will catch him. But, like we both agreed, they will get caught quickly.
The claim persists, just like the claim that manmade global warming is bs persists, not because of any good natured ribbing, but for very cynical political manipulation purposes. Nuff' said LOL. The fact that scientists so overwhelmingly are concerned about Global Warming/Climate Change is almost certainly one of the main reasons so many are Democrats not the other way around. I also thinkt he Republican track record of blocking research and cutting educational and scientific research funding whenever given the opportunity makes scientists more likely to identify as Democrats. I'm a big believer in a primarily free market but just as I don't think Child Slave Labor should be used (some would consider this a fetter that "Capitalism" wants to break) I also don't think its a good idea to flood groundwater with Cyanide from improperly done gold mining for instance. Destroying the life support system on our spaceship is a WAY bad idea. I'm starting to think that old Freudian thinking that alot of people have a secret death wish motivating their Psychology really has some truth to it. There isnt' any other explaination for me as to why people don't take this more seriously. For godsake the Pentagon does!
The movie was quite true to the book... She did find some sort of underlying order. But she sounded like a preacher in her own right, in the end. She had said a few times in the book that she didn't believe in things she couldn't objectively measure, yet here she was telling people what she saw, felt, and learned though nobody else could objectively measure it.
Probably didn't cause any damage to uranus, however. Uranus is pretty huge, it can take a pounding. barfo
A probe was sent to Uranus, and the data that came back shocked the scientific community. After all this time thinking it's full of gas, it actually turned out to be full of $#it.
You should careful when you probe Uranus, you don't know what you might find there. There could be a life form deep inside Uranus.
