No you HAVEN'T. Chemistry changes somewhat with respect to things like pressure and temperature, all conditions that can be tested right here on Eath. It isn't subject to which planet you are on, unless the pressure and temperature change. We KNOW these things.

Take a chemistry course.

Life uses water as a solvent because that's what is common on Earth. Carbon chemistry is carbon chemistry everywhere, not just on Earth, and its chemistry appears to be quite unique.

Seriously? An old Dire Straits video.

With at least some basis in observation, yes.

Which clearly nobody gave much credence to as they went and did it anyway. There was a time when some people thought traveling at a rate faster than a horse would kill a human, but so what?

I always thought he said "the redcoats are coming" if anything.

cucumbers.

Completely different. The sound barrier was thought to be unbreakable due to mechanical, material, and design issues (we don't know how we can make an aircraft that will hold together and an engine that propel), not due to a well established theory that said it was absolutely unbreakable no matter what you do, like c.

It is not pedantic. You simply don't understand, nor seem to want to understand, what is actually happening. Hint: there is a reason that the red-shift due to the expansion of space is not the same as or caused by the same phenomenon as the red-shift due to Doppler motion. You are trying to apply your understanding…

Sigh yourself. You are a victim of pop science.

There is no such thing as a "point" in space past a mathematical coordinate convenience. There is no way of tagging a point in space and saying "this is moving". Just can't be done. It's just as true to say that every "point" in space is expanding, or reproducing, or....

They stand on their own, but it isn't as though it wouldn't be considered a lot more accomplishment if she fought in the men's ranks. Fact is that women's sports are equivalent to the minor leagues in men's sports.

Water is just a solvent. It's common here on earth, but biologists have already identified several others that other life could use in place of water. You are ascribing near religious significance to it, not scientific.

Quantum entanglement will turn out to be a spectre of misunderstandings of quantum decoherence. It's almost certain that FTL communication with it is not possible even now.

The "theoretical models" are pretty much science fiction themselves. They all rely on something or other that hasn't been shown to even exist - an unobtanium.

Space does not travel, FTL or otherwise.

Doesn't work.

I don't see how you can say that water is necessary for carbon based life. There are other solvents that could work in place of it.

Why doesn't she have anything to prove?
