This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins.

This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.

As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

  • Build a mountain

    Apparently, the UAE is in the process of investigating what it would take to build a mountain. Their intent? Boost rainfall in the region.

    It does make a weird sort of sense...
    I'm not here anymore.

    That does make a weird kind of sense...

    I can think of several limiting factors...like building material...I wouldn't think Sand would work very well and just how steep can you build? This will probably take years of research and planning...

      They ought to put us on it.
      We make mountains out of nothing all day long.
      Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

          I wonder if they'll start with a molehill

            If they did successfully make a man-made mountain, we might have people from the distant future claim that aliens built it!

              How big will this Mole Hill be?

                  Die Berg Komt Er. Originally proposed as a bit of a joke, the idea for building a mountain in the Netherlands gained a lot of support.

                    sounds like an Onion news release.
