It has been too much of politics, baba, fish and etc Can we talk about scientific intrigues My first take is a little bird, it is called Bar-tailed godwit. It feeds on the beaches of the world. That bird migrates from Alaska, down to New Zealand, 11,500 miles. It flies non-stop, 9 days and 9 nights! What does that mean? It means the sun rise, the sun sets, the sun rise, the sun sets ... the bird is flying, underneath are deserts, there oceans, the bird is flying, 9 days 9 nights! There are cities underneath the bird is flying! Through the rainstorms, through the hailstorms, the bird is flying! Little bird like that, it's beating its wings, day and night, no food, no water, no sleep! It is known to set record for long-distance flight ever. Migrating from New Zealand to Alaska, why does it do that????????   If you answer me that it does this to get food, I tell you there is food in Germany, there is food in France etc.... and it does not have to come from Alaska to Newzealand to find food! So you have to find a better answer than that!

Well, as long as we are taking a break from politics......much as the bird's non stop distance flight is amazing, you will find the claim that it outflies any human made aircraft to be false. The Boeing 777-200 LR has some of the longest legs in modern aviation, capable of a staggering 17,000+ kms nonstop flight. Our very own 787 dreamliner ate over 14,000 km on its inaugural flight to Nairobi.  Enjoy Spain getting dumped out of the world cup

Is this a scientific intrigue or the wonders of God? Somethings are not meant to have scientific answers but reminders of our Almighty.
BBI will solve it :)

Easy! A pastor drove from Embu to Nyeri for the same reason.

But Alpha doti, Who was following those birds non stop to realize that they flew non stop? If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Ask @nonstoppingthis My biggest scientific intrigue is the double slit experiment in the study of Quantum Mechanics See dumbed down version...

I am reminded that "science" is all about eye, touch, taste, hear and smell. Sensibilities. Subjectivity. Hence with a bias, I can confirm or debunk any "scientific" fact. "Science" is not reliable.

So you have to find a better answer than that! I think I read somewhere that these birds, as well as swallows, are able to sleep in flight. They must have a kind of out pilot. I also understand that some shark species never stop swimming from the day they are born, otherwise they die. Apparently they sleep by shutting down a half of their brains, or some crazy stuff like that. "The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.

Certainly much more reliable than religion.

2012 wrote:Is this a scientific intrigue or the wonders of God? Somethings are not meant to have scientific answers but reminders of our Almighty. @2012 you're right. The big question is: why does it have to fly from Alaska to New Zealand, afterall there's food around the neighborhood. @quicksand, think more about the time factor. Not the distance. Time, 9 days 9 nights non-stop over oceans, cities, deserts... the bird flies! @impunity, surely what kind of question! You're wondering to track a bird? How do they track baboons, elephants, rhinos etc. ama according to you it's easy to track something that walks but not that flies? @wakanyu, there's one bird which flies non-stop too. One brain sleeps while the other works, then fail-over applies. SUBHANALLAH! PRAISE BE TO ALLAH THE BEST OF MAKER!

For instance every scientific claim is potentially falsifiable, meaning it can be supplanted any time by a superior counter claims, so long as this can be proven. No room for blind faith here. Wakanyugi, "Science" no matter how advanced, relies on the senses - eye, touch, taste, hear and smell for verification and validation. If you "observe" - through these senses - a superior counter claim and others confirm it then it becomes "science". What happens if these senses are not at optimal levels and conditions? Observations made by and through them are also affected to the degree of "non-optimalness". Hence that which the possessors of these faulty senses claim to be "science" is not science. It is now something more blind than faith.

By what means will you confirm or debunk any scientific fact ? Mtu biz, Obviously through another instrument of measurement outside of and not among these 5 senses. Logically, there is no other way.
