I meant signal jammers not the jammer you are talking about, I know that already. >_< Can you tell me what sonars can and can't detect? I might be able to piece together what he meant or just ask him when I see him again. Also, lol he's not falling for that and he has a wife, things to do with her and other stuff so he can't really go on. All we do is read a book(All Quiet on the Western Front by ? I forgot lol, and Macbeth by Shakespeare) for half the period and listen to his stories then do an essay at the end of the marking period and all of the test are open-book tests and get grammar lessons occassionally and write a couple of vocabulary words. Since school security is so tight, I can't ask him to go on here and "Debate" with you(You can't go to youtube.) I'm saying there's no point.

I actually did my last college project on the research done of global warming vs. mullet numbers. Truefakts.

No, you're reading it wrong. Pirates are the dependent variable, not temperature. Therefore, the graph tells you that the more pirates you remove from the Earth, the warmer it becomes. Ergo, to save the world, we need to start pirating again. I'm nominating those fellows from Somolia for a Peace Prize.

You know how many bodies got dump in hudson river from the 50's? In a town when someone is missing, the first place to look is either at the bottom of the hudson or manhattan river and all this time no one saw those subs of yours.

In other words, piracy is the key to mankind utopia

You prerogative, but I'm just explaining how it is correctly read. Science is pretty particular about these things. Mal is also correct about the positive slope thing, even though it is designed the way it is to show dates. A better graph would be to have year as the X axis and have two Y axes, one of temperature and one of number of pirates with two curves, showing that as time went on, temperature went up and pirates went down.

Of course, they you downgrade the relationship to association rather than causal, but it'd still be more correct.

@ACT: Oh okay, but I said something similar with the radar not spotting them thingy.

**Miburo** · 01-29-2011, 11:44 AM

Yeah, that's why ACT used it as an analogy.

**Mal** · 01-29-2011, 11:44 AM

With Temperature on the x axis and Pirates on the y, dates could still be labelled at points along the line.

stubborn_d0nkey · 01-29-2011, 11:59 AM

I'll elaborate a bit more on that graph.

First off, pirates being on the lower axis does not automatically mean its a function of pirates, anybody can switch axises.

Now take a look at the axis with pirates, it goes 35000 45000 then 20000, while the temperature is constantly rising. going up then going down. you see it now? see why the implication is mathematically contradicted? no?

ok, for this to be a function of pirates, for every given number of pirates there has to be a unique value of temperature. However in this graph this is obviously not the case, because for the same number of pirates you have two different values of temperature. So it is mathematically impossible for this graph to be a function of pirates with temperature being inversely proportional to the number of pirates

The graphs's primary implication (less pirates->higher temperature) might be interesting to the naive eye, however it is mathematically impossible. I myself would have found it interesting if it wasn't for it going against maths.

**Mal** · 01-29-2011, 12:03 PM

Because the graph is completely contrived, and was put together by someone who obviously does not understand proper graphing.
