Lighting can strike in the same place twice, if the positrons and negatrons are the same after the lighting strikes.


haha, "negatrons", we call those "electrons" these days!

Also, you'll be glad to hear that lightning can, infact, strike the same place twice. It's just an old wive's tale that it can't.

I mean, think about it; lightning rods wouldn't be much use otherwise, would they?


Wait, wasn't 'Negatron' one of the bad guys in Transformers...

Think, the artifact is CAUSING the storms. As it's not a natural storm, the laws of nature dont apply. Therefore lightning can strike n the same place. Afterall, ever seen a really big lightning rod?

In the Halo 3 trailer if you look at the mysterious artifact then you can see lighting cleary striking the same place twice


well you are looking at it from far away perhaps it nailed something 2 inchs away from its last strike.

No idea, but I'm pretty sure he ment electron, there being no such lepton as a negatron and all...

It in fact is a teaser trailer it proubly won't be seen in the game like the other E3 demos the structure will be seen in the game but the scene that you saw in the trailer will not. and did you notice that all the Covenant ships are assault carriers there will most likely will be a verity of ships in the seen that they didn't want to expose yet.

Achronos this, Achronos that. Whatever he says on these forms are just his opinions. He is not allowed to give out any information about Halo 3. So whatever he says is just to help stir up the pot of your brains of mush.


Think boy, if he's not allowed to give out information, then giving out wrong information is just as bad. Becaues then we know its the opposite. Besides, that wasn't giving out information, that was very obscure. All he said is How Do You Know What That Is?

Think, boy, he never said what it was.

And lightning strikes the same place twice ALL the time.


I said that lightning can strike the same place twice. And if Achronos can't give out the right information. Then he can only give out wrong information. Think about it. He can't just say this is right and this is wrong. Because fans could guess their way into information about Halo 3. Because he can't give out the wrong info right?

And don't call be boy.

Unfamiliar territory has become familiar.

Maybe the question we need to be asking ourselfs is why bungie chose to have the lighting strike that same place twice.

In reality, lightning strikes the same place many times. Ever seen one of those slow motion videos of lightning? There can be many strikes to the same location in a very short period of time.

Lightning never strikes the same place twice....you can file that under "urban legend" or "wives tale"

the earth is several millions of years old, if lightning wouldn't strike the same place twice, i bet there wouldn't be many places left to strike

Yes lightning can strike in the same place twice. But in the same shape/form. possible, but not probable. Because you can't prove it can or cannot. Just like you can't prove evolution or creation.


tell me, how can't you prove evolution?


This is getting off topic. I believe that he is saying that to prove something as scientific fact you need to go back and recreate it, and ytou cant recreate creation, well at least not now.

Back to Lightning.....


Evolution is constantly happening :/


Tell me how you can prove evolution? Nobody was there, there is no records. It's all just a theory in attempt to prove there is no God.

How about every great scientific mind in our history has been religious one way or another.

o and LOL at your last part there.


Oh really, so we have the missing link then right? You ass, Evolution is still a theory. IT HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN.

That goes beyond ignorant into the imbecilic. You've just insulted all the scientists who work or have worked on evolution. As a scientist, I am insulted. Not that it's a perfect endeavor, but science does not exist as a conspiracy to refute the existence of God. Boy.

Gravity is a theory? You got me there

A little off topic, but why is there a yellow 7th column symbol next to the threads name?


It shows that an important Bungie employee (Ones with yellow text) have posted in it

thats right, Gravity is theory.


GRAVITY IS A SCIENTIFIC LAW. ASS

Facts are the enemy of tru7h....

*sigh*

Evolution is a theory. There is no feasible to prove it with scientific method. However Genetics and Natural Selection are fact. Both these facts lend greatly to the THEORY of evolution.

Gravitation force is fact, i.e. there is gravity. How it operates and where it comes from is still theory.

Oh, -blam!-. Had a huge reply for you, but I deleted it by accident. In brief, here are some transitional fossils for you to chew on:

Archaeopteryx lithographica (therapod dinosaurs to birds)

Sinonyx

Pakicetus

Ambulocetus

Rodhocetus (the above are whale ancestors)

Tiktaalik

And now, to the humans...

A. Africanus

H. Habilis

H. ergaster

Et al.

From Wikipedia:




In science, a theory is a proposed description, explanation, or model of the manner of interaction of a set of natural phenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise falsified through empirical observation. It follows from this that for scientists "theory" and "fact" do not necessarily stand in opposition. For example, it is a fact that an apple dropped on earth has been observed to fall towards the center of the planet, and the theory which explains why the apple behaves so is the current theory of gravitation.

Now sit down and shut up, until you know what you are talking about.
