MIT proves brain is influenced by magnetism

MIT study claims magnetic fields can alter moral decisions.  Or in essence, magnetic fields can alter brain function.

Shout out to Jim Steele

Jim Steele is an actual evidence based science person, and this is just a shout out to him.

I have no peer reviewed papers to support my assertion.  He however, has a lot of interesting science to publish.

Now the word "run" has the most meanings

"Run" currently is the word with the most different meanings. The verb-form alone has no fewer than 645 meanings and Peter Gilliver worked for more than nine months to work out all of them.

Online look at the word

As a child I would read the dictionary,

Yes, I was that kid.  I noticed some words filled pages with the different definitions, and once tried to find the word that had the most definitions.  It was "ride", with run, set, and put close seconds.

The unabridged dictionaries were the best.  I simply looked for pages that were filled with just one words definition, and then calculated by the amount of page space used to determine which word had the most definitions. Not scientific, but fun.

This meant I had to actually look at every page of the unabridged dictionary.  Didn't take as long as it sounds.

It was an immature attempt to use evidence based science, to determine which word had the most definitions.

Is it possible to know something? About the global temperature data?

In the comments section on WUWT there is this graph, showing anomalies for Tmax and Tmin, globally, since 1940.

Is it possible to confirm this information?  And what would it mean?

The questions I ask are as follows.

Is the graph real?  Can it be reproduced by anyone?

What data is used?

If those are satisfied, so that it actually represents a data analysis, what does it mean?

It does not snow more when it is warm

However, you might see somebody trying to say the opposite.

An amazing, though clearly little-known, scientific fact: We get more snow storms in warm years!

In case anybody cares ...

Busy having some fun with other blogs.
