You seem to have done a lot in life Pat but you are a follower not a leader, leaders make their own way followers just repeat what they heard from a repeater who heard it from a repeater who might just have not been on the correct diagnosis in the first place.

So it's now Pat the geologist, medic and financier, any good with cars?
Does your ignorance know no bounds?

XC provided a excellent link that explains exactly how we know what lies beneath the earth's crust, not a hypothesis but an explanation of the actual science, yet instead of reading the article you seek to dismiss it whilst telling the world what a independent free thinker you are, what with you being a leader and all that.

My ignorance? so you based on XC's link that says some bloke in the 18th century using a torque bar concluded what the earth has inside of it.

You have to be on a wind up there's no way it can be anything else, btw which one of you is XC is it the offspring or the wife and which one is Cull? or is it a couple of mates on the Xbox?

If that is all you took from that article I suppose we will have to accept it as further proof of your inability to read a simple scientific article and not understand very basic scientific principles.

Basics 101 you cannot say what you haven't seen, I'd be more inclined to listen to Buzz Aldrin tell me the one about when he went to the moon.

I think you'll find its Dr Aldrin, I even found an age appropriate explanation for you.

I think the problem is the infrastructure and that so many people in cities where they are most needed, rent their houses and flats so charging at home isn't easy.

Don’t forget us Terraced Street people. It’s going to be interesting to see how they’re going to address that issue.

His wife is the Dr I believe.


His forte was being a great fighter pilot who also totally plays for the team of the USA and will do until God claims him. I don't dislike Buzz I admire him as as a man and as a trooper but I also don't believe the res on the pictures for the era nor how moon buggies got there nor that the lander would have gold foil hanging off it, basically America was a complete mess at the time and landing on the moon would've been a great way to pull it together, Nam, JFK, Nixon event path that like today says question things.

Funny how everything you believe in can't be visited, touched or seen isn't it, moon landings, centre of the earth, "why is that?" "one of life's mysteries Sir!".
