Re: Definition Challenge

Show me SETI's, and I shall clone their technique.

"There are no narrow-band radio signals of ~21cm resonant wavelength being
emitted from planets orbiting nearby stars".

We've been over this already. I proposed a Prime Number detection
algorithm, but somebody wanted more details. I explained that I would
provide details only when lack of an existing computerizable algorithm
was the only consensus difference keeping it from being a scientific
hypoth.

It was explained to you, at that time and many others, that a
scientific hypothesis must explain empirical observations and make
testable predictions of a level of specificity such that failure of the
predictions would falsify the hypothesis.

As much as SETI hypoth.

You have not specified an
hypothesis that would be falsified by failure to find prime numbers in
the genome after an exhaustive search.

As much as SETI hypoth..

In fact, you have not specified
an hypothesis that would explain why prime numbers should be expected
in the genome,

As much as SETI hypoth..

how they would be encoded,

Those details will come with the algorithm.

or which genome or genomes
they would be found in.

Huh? Why is this necessary? It sounds like another one of your
artificial fake phoney made-up hurdles.


"Gee, maybe there are patterns in DNA." is not a scientific hypothesis,
regardless of how many baseless algorithms you make up.

It is simply SETI done in DNA instead of the stars. It is not
materially different and you have not found The Magic Separator. It is
probably less likely than SETI, but nobody here is proposing
probability being the key criteria. It is also not as far along as
SETI, but questions about at which point SETI's hypoth turned into
science in its history result in blank drooling stares and handwaving.
You have no basis for your phoney made-up criteria. You simply call me
dumb and elect yourself smart and think that is sufficient. Crank up
your articulation skills and turn down your ego and we may get
somewhere.
