Did the Dogon tribes discover “Trans-Pluto”? Each of Pluto's moons spends half its time closer to the Sun than Pluto is; they're not trans-Plutonian. |

Are there technologies that provide unlimited free energy? Yes, thus the "very nearly" qualifier. Presumably the companies that claim "unlimited free energy" would, if they were valid, operate under the same constraints. You have to build the perpetual motion device before you can extract energy from it. |

Are there technologies that provide unlimited free energy? Solar power very nearly qualifies as "unlimited free energy". |

Would a human's blood suddenly boil (or eyes/body explode) in a vacuum? See also this question on the Astronomy site. |

Are “pox parties” safer than vaccines for children? Doesn't herd immunity apply to both vaccination and "pox parties" (at least once the victim is no longer contagious)? I agree completely with your conclusion, but herd immunity is a benefit of either method relative to doing nothing. |

Is radioactive decay the cause of the high temperature of the Earth's core? @MattM.: The stars get their energy from fusion, not fission. (And there have been naturally occurring fission reactors on Earth, but that's rare.) |

Does the Torah-encoded age of the universe match science? @Flimzy: "the alternate view is the Genesis sequence is the sequence of observation, not of creation" -- observation by whom? |
