You just can't accept I'm right, can you?

ROFLMAO.

I am sure a 16th century person would agree that you were. This is the
21st century.

If you are going to quote science, get it right. Its not me you are up

Philosophically you are in a hole of your won making. I didn't put you

Are you saying now that the earth has a nuclear reaction going on at its
centre, and that's the reason it's pretty warm down there?



Yes, and no, that's not the only reason. Not even the biggest reason. Of
course it has nuclear reactions going on down there..where else would
all the radon come from? and all the uranium is still decaying whether
we use it in reactors or not.

How concentrated the reactions are, where they are, and how ,much they
contribute to global warming, is a highly debatable subject. Possibly
the best evidence is taht most models of the earth show it OUGHT to be
cooler than it is, unless some slight nuclear warming is posited.


There is evidence that what amounts to 'open hearth' fission reactors
have existed naturally (without actually making china) in the past.

for an interesting read.


Radioactivity and nuclear fission is a totally natural phenomenon and
doesn't need Man to set it going.On a global scale all that uranium is
going to decay anyway, so we might as well concentrate it, speed it up
and use it to light fires with.

... if and only if you are living in cold regions.... :)
You are posting to four newsgroups tagged "UK" (United Kingdom). It
_is_ cold for all of us. Not like HK...


There is hot weather in UK, isn't it?

I have read all the messages in this thread.

Was insurance coverage ever mentioned by the audience (that you
deliberately leaving electrical appliances in standby mode, increasing
the fire risk)? :)

But as Wikipedia says in its article on 'georeactor':

"Herndon's concepts are not accepted by the scientific community".

So, another myth then that you choose to believe, contrary to all the
evidence.

Whilst you seem to be a pillock that, even if correct, can't or

Where is all this evidence to which you refer?

Please provide details of the source.

Yes, for a couple of days in either June or July.

Of course this does depend on where in the UKofGB&NI one is located.
