Discussion:
Odd Bodkin: Does it not concern you that you cannot quote Avogadro on any of this speculation?

James McGinn:
Scientists debate the science. Trolls debate the scientist.

Odd Bodkin:
You haven't brought science. You've brought
profound ignorance of science.

James McGinn:
If that is what you believe one can only wonder why you don't make a substantive argument to that effect.

Odd Bodkin:
Already done.
You have a short memory about embarrassments.
Density's definition ring a bell? How about Avogadro's law and the fact
that particle size has nothing to do with it?

James McGinn:
You tried to claim that Avogadro didn't realize that H2O isn't an ideal gas.

Odd Bodkin:
Oh bullshit.
If anything, you're trying to both claim that Avogadro's law supports
your case and that water doesn't apply to Avogadro's law.
Avogadro's law pertains to gases. It is an observational law. That means
it is seen to hold true for gases found in the real world. This includes
gases that contain a significant amount of water in them, as well as
gases that do not. That is, it holds for a gas that is 70% nitrogen and
30% water by moles; and it also holds for a gas that is 80% oxygen and
20% carbon dioxide and no water; and it also holds for a gas that is
100% carbon monoxide. It also holds for a gas that is 99% water and 1%
nitrogen by moles, by the way. Those are observational facts.
Your statement is that this cannot possibly be true of gases containing
water because water is different. Thus your argument is essentially,
"Can't be, I don't believe it! You have to convince me!"
But the observational facts are otherwise, and that is what Avogadro's
law is about.

James McGinn:
LOL. So, the fact you cannot quote/reference Avogadro on any of this speculation concerns you not in the least?

Odd Avocado won't quote or reference Avogadro or anything else. His sole
purpose in life is to call everybody else stupid to make himself seem
smart. But when you try to get a discussion out of him all he does is
run and hide saying he won't "spoon feed" anyone. He's obviously some
idiot professor who only keeps his job because he'll flunk any student
that complains about his incompetence. I'm sure he's much better at
ruining lives than explaining science.

Strangest of all is how totally unembarrassed and unashamed he is
about it all. He's pathological. (Poutkin too.) There is no
conscience there, no allegiance to an objective reality of any
kind whatsoever. Empirical reality is but a philosophical
distraction to them.

It's easy to be a crank. Just follow these simple guidelines and remember, you're never wrong. No matter what.
Step one: Develop a wacky idea.
Step two: Disseminate your idea
Step three: (Not) Responding to Criticism
Step four: Get Persecuted!

Typical troll stupidity. You are asking me empirically verify that somebody DID NOT say something. You are asking me to prove a negative.

So THAT'S your excuse for not reading. You believe that reading inhibits
reasoning? You believe that thinking things through on your own, without
benefit of reading, gives better scientific results?

Right. You asked me to give you a reference to Avogadro.
Now suddenly the goal is to QUOTE Avogadro, because you apparently can
neither click a link nor read what is on the subsequently displayed page.
Of course, if one were to then quote Avogadro in a newsgroup post (as
someone has recently done), then one could also anticipate that the
title of the thread would shift to "Does it not concern you that you
cannot explain the quotation from Avogadro on any of this speculation?"

A lot of what happens in cases like this can be attributed to emotional
investment, rather than intellectual investment. Like Seto and others,
he has put himself out on a limb. Regardless of the poor choices that
got him there, he has positioned himself as an iconoclast, and put
sizable investment of time and effort and money to self-publish and
self-publicize. He has had to gird himself against anticipated heat,
which means buttressing his ego and preparing canned responses against
criticism. Now he is in a no-retreat situation. He cannot acknowledge
the mistake of what he has done, because he has too much invested in the
mistake. It would mean looking at himself in the mirror and admitting
those poker chips of time, effort, money, and reputation are all just
gone, lost in a bad bet. The demolition of the reputation alone would be
too much to bear, since it was fragile to begin with. You can compare
his life story with Seto's pretty much line for line.

This is an old story, as familiar as a Grimm's fairy tale, and
completely predictable. What's spectacularly sad about Mr. McGinn is
that he thinks his case is somehow different or special, when in fact it
is pretty vanilla. Well, vanilla with a sprinkling of nuts.

A lot of what happens in cases like this can be attributed to emotional
investment, rather than intellectual investment. Like Seto and others,
he has put himself out on a limb. Regardless of the poor choices that
got him there, he has positioned himself as an iconoclast, and put
sizable investment of time and effort and money to self-publish and
self-publicize. He has had to gird himself against anticipated heat,
which means buttressing his ego and preparing canned responses against
criticism. Now he is in a no-retreat situation. He cannot acknowledge
the mistake of what he has done, because he has too much invested in the
mistake. It would mean looking at himself in the mirror and admitting
those poker chips of time, effort, money, and reputation are all just
gone, lost in a bad bet. The demolition of the reputation alone would be
too much to bear, since it was fragile to begin with. You can compare
his life story with Seto's pretty much line for line.
This is an old story, as familiar as a Grimm's fairy tale, and
completely predictable. What's spectacularly sad about Mr. McGinn is
that he thinks his case is somehow different or special, when in fact it
is pretty vanilla. Well, vanilla with a sprinkling of nuts.
When pretenders evade issues they tend to get more and more verbose.

Right. You asked me to give you a reference to Avogadro.
Now suddenly the goal is to QUOTE Avogadro, because you apparently can
neither click a link nor read what is on the subsequently displayed page.
Of course, if one were to then quote Avogadro in a newsgroup post (as
someone has recently done), then one could also anticipate that the
title of the thread would shift to "Does it not concern you that you
cannot explain the quotation from Avogadro on any of this speculation?"

So THAT'S your excuse for not reading. You believe that reading inhibits
reasoning? You believe that thinking things through on your own, without
benefit of reading, gives better scientific results?
It's the difference between knowing and understanding.
Perhaps you, Soilent Tomatoes, should read it again for the first time;

Avogadro's Law (Avogadro's theory; Avogadro's hypothesis) is a principle
stated in 1811 by the Italian chemist Amedeo Avogadro (1776-1856) that
"equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the
same number of molecules regardless of their chemical nature and
physical properties".

This number (Avogadro's number) is 6.022 X 10^23. It is the number of
molecules of any gas present in a volume of 22.41 L and is the same for
the lightest gas (hydrogen) as for a heavy gas such as carbon dioxide or
bromine.

Now, what is so hard about that ?

Why don't you disprove him ? Show your work please.

LETS TRY THIS AGAIN, BOY James McGoonie

Perhaps you, Soilent Tomatoes, should **READ** it again for the first time;

Avogadro is known principally for Avogadro’s hypothesis, which provided
a much-needed key to the problems of nineteenth-century chemistry by
distinguishing between atoms and molecules. Dalton had considered the
possibility that equal volumes of all gases might contain the same
number of atoms but had rejected it. The source of Avogadro’s
inspiration was not however Dalton but Gay-Lussac, whose law of
combining volumes of gases was published in 1809. In Avogadro’s classic
memoir of 1811 he wrote:

M. Gay-Lussac has shown in an interesting memoir... that gases
always unite in a very simple proportion by volume, and that when the
result of the union is a gas, its volume also is very simply related to
those of its components. But the quantitative proportions of substances
in compounds seem only to depend on the relative number of molecules
which combine, and on the number of composite molecules which result. It
must then be admitted that very simple relations also exist between the
volumes of gaseous substances and the numbers of simple or compound
molecules which form them. The first hypothesis to present itself in
this connection, and apparently even the only admissible one, is the
supposition that the number of integral molecules in any gas is always
the same for equal volumes, or always proportional to the volumes... The
hypothesis we have just proposed is based on that simplicity of relation
between the volumes of gases on combination, which would appear to be
otherwise inexplicable.1

Avogadro, therefore, modestly presented his hypothesis as no more than
an extension of Gay-Lussac’s law.

From Avogadro’s hypothesis there immediately follows the inference that
the relative weights of the molecules of any two gases are the same as
the ratios of the densities of these gases under the same conditions of
temperature and pressure. Molecular weights could thus be determined
directly. The hypothesis also enabled the chemist to deduce atomic
weights without recourse to Dalton’s arbitrary rule of simplicity. The
molecular weight of water would be calculated in the following way:

As water is produced by the combination of two volumes of hydrogen with
one of oxygen, this would give for the weight of two molecules of water
vapor: 15 + 2 = 17. The weight of one molecule would therefore be 8.5
(or, more accurately, 8.537). This agreed well with the known density of
water vapor referred to the hydrogen standard. It should be noted that
Avogadro’s molecular weights are values based on the comparison with the
weight of a molecule of hydrogen rather than an atom of hydrogen. The
molecular weights given in Avogadro’s paper of 1811 are therefore half
the modern values. However expressed, they were a vast improvement on
Dalton’s values.

The superiority of Avogadro’s method of deriving the molecular weights
of compounds over that of Dalton is seen not only with water but with
many other compounds. Where the values given by Avogadro were of the
same order as those given by Dalton, the Italian pointed out that this
resulted from the canceling out of errors. Avogadro was, however,
completely fair in his criticism of Dalton, and at the end of his memoir
he modestly concluded that his hypothesis was “at bottom merely Dalton’s
system furnished with a new means of precision from the connection we
have found between it and the general fact established by Gay-Lussac.”

It is necessary to comment on Avogadro’s use of the term molecule.
Although it has been suggested that he used the term inconsistently, a
close examination of his memoir enables us to distinguish four uses of
the term: molécule (“molecule”), a general term denoting either what
today would be called an atom or a molecule; molécule intégrante
(“integral molecule”), corresponding to the present-day usage of
molecule, particularly in relation to compounds; molécule constituante
(“constituent molecule”), denoting a molecule of an element; and
molécule élémentaire (“elementary molecule”), denoting an atom of an
element. Although Avogadro deserves credit for his application of these
expressions, he did not invent them. The terms partie intégrante,
molécule primitive intégrante, and partie constituante are to be found
in Macquer’s Dictionnaire de chimie of 1766 (article on “Agrégation”);
and the terms integrant, constituent, and elementary molecules are to be
found in Fourcroy’s textbook of 1800.

Avogadro had a solution to the problem that arose when the hypothesis of
equal volumes was applied to compound substances. Gay-Lussac had shown
that (above 100°C.) the volume of water vapor was twice the volume of
oxygen used to form it. This was possible only if the molecule of oxygen
was divided between the molecules of hydrogen. Dalton had seen this
difficulty and, as it was to him inconceivable that the particles of
oxygen could be subdivided, he had rejected the basic hypothesis that
Avogadro was now defending. Avogadro overcame the difficulty by
postulating compound molecules . This is the second and most important
part of Avogadro’s hypothesis . It may be regarded as his second
hypothesis ; and, unlike the first, it seems completly original.
Avogadro wrote: most important part of Avogadro’s hypothesis. It may be
regarded as his second hypothesis; and unlike the first, it seems
completely original. Avogadro wrote: “We suppose... that the constituent
molecules of any simple gas whatever... are not formed of a solitary
elementary molecule, but are made up of a certain number of these
molecules united by attraction to form a single one.” Compound molecules
of gases must therefore be composed of two or more atoms. Avogadro
implies that there are always an even number of atoms in the molecule of
a gas. For nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen it is two, “but it is possible
that in other cases, the division might be into four, eight, etc.”
Avogadro is not at his clearest in this part of the memoir, but clarity
is achieved when he gives an example: “Thus, for example, the integral
molecule of water will be composed of a half-molecule of oxygen with one
molecule, or, what is the same thing, two half-molecules, of hydrogen.”

Avogadro’s reasoning about the divisibility of the integrant molecule
raises the question of atomicity. Gases for Avogadro were usually
diatomic, but certain substances could be tetratomic in the vapor state
as indeed phosphorus is. In later memoirs he allowed for the possibility
of monatomic molecules, as, for example, in gold. In his work there is
implicit the idea of equivalence, e.g., that one atom of oxygen is
equivalent to two atoms of hydrogen, which in turn is equivalent to two
atoms of chlorine. The concept of valency, was however, not developed
until the time of Frankland (1852).

Now, what is so hard about that ?

Why don't you disprove him ? Show your work please.

M. Gay-Lussac has shown in an interesting memoir... that gases
always unite in a very simple proportion by volume, and that when the
result of the union is a gas, its volume also is very simply related to
those of its components. But the quantitative proportions of substances
in compounds seem only to depend on the relative number of molecules
which combine, and on the number of composite molecules which result. It
must then be admitted that very simple relations also exist between the
volumes of gaseous substances and the numbers of simple or compound
molecules which form them. The first hypothesis to present itself in
this connection, and apparently even the only admissible one, is the
supposition that the number of integral molecules in any gas is always
the same for equal volumes, or always proportional to the volumes... The
hypothesis we have just proposed is based on that simplicity of relation
between the volumes of gases on combination, which would appear to be
otherwise inexplicable.1
Avogadro, therefore, modestly presented his hypothesis as no more than
an extension of Gay-Lussac's law.
From Avogadro's hypothesis there immediately follows the inference that
the relative weights of the molecules of any two gases are the same as
the ratios of the densities of these gases under the same conditions of
temperature and pressure. Molecular weights could thus be determined
directly. The hypothesis also enabled the chemist to deduce atomic
weights without recourse to Dalton's arbitrary rule of simplicity. The
As water is produced by the combination of two volumes of hydrogen with
one of oxygen, this would give for the weight of two molecules of water
vapor: 15 + 2 = 17. The weight of one molecule would therefore be 8.5
(or, more accurately, 8.537). This agreed well with the known density of
water vapor referred to the hydrogen standard. It should be noted that
Avogadro's molecular weights are values based on the comparison with the
weight of a molecule of hydrogen rather than an atom of hydrogen. The
molecular weights given in Avogadro's paper of 1811 are therefore half
the modern values. However expressed, they were a vast improvement on
Dalton's values.
The superiority of Avogadro's method of deriving the molecular weights
of compounds over that of Dalton is seen not only with water but with
many other compounds. Where the values given by Avogadro were of the
same order as those given by Dalton, the Italian pointed out that this
resulted from the canceling out of errors. Avogadro was, however,
completely fair in his criticism of Dalton, and at the end of his memoir
he modestly concluded that his hypothesis was "at bottom merely Dalton's
system furnished with a new means of precision from the connection we
have found between it and the general fact established by Gay-Lussac."
It is necessary to comment on Avogadro's use of the term molecule.
Although it has been suggested that he used the term inconsistently, a
close examination of his memoir enables us to distinguish four uses of
the term: molécule ("molecule"), a general term denoting either what
today would be called an atom or a molecule; molécule intégrante
("integral molecule"), corresponding to the present-day usage of
molecule, particularly in relation to compounds; molécule constituante
("constituent molecule"), denoting a molecule of an element; and
molécule élémentaire ("elementary molecule"), denoting an atom of an
element. Although Avogadro deserves credit for his application of these
expressions, he did not invent them. The terms partie intégrante,
molécule primitive intégrante, and partie constituante are to be found
in Macquer's Dictionnaire de chimie of 1766 (article on "Agrégation");
and the terms integrant, constituent, and elementary molecules are to be
found in Fourcroy's textbook of 1800.
Avogadro had a solution to the problem that arose when the hypothesis of
equal volumes was applied to compound substances. Gay-Lussac had shown
that (above 100°C.) the volume of water vapor was twice the volume of
oxygen used to form it. This was possible only if the molecule of oxygen
was divided between the molecules of hydrogen. Dalton had seen this
difficulty and, as it was to him inconceivable that the particles of
oxygen could be subdivided, he had rejected the basic hypothesis that
Avogadro was now defending. Avogadro overcame the difficulty by
postulating compound molecules . This is the second and most important
part of Avogadro's hypothesis . It may be regarded as his second
hypothesis ; and, unlike the first, it seems completly original.
Avogadro wrote: most important part of Avogadro's hypothesis. It may be
regarded as his second hypothesis; and unlike the first, it seems
completely original. Avogadro wrote: "We suppose... that the constituent
molecules of any simple gas whatever... are not formed of a solitary
elementary molecule, but are made up of a certain number of these
molecules united by attraction to form a single one." Compound molecules
of gases must therefore be composed of two or more atoms. Avogadro
implies that there are always an even number of atoms in the molecule of
a gas. For nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen it is two, "but it is possible
that in other cases, the division might be into four, eight, etc."
Avogadro is not at his clearest in this part of the memoir, but clarity
is achieved when he gives an example: "Thus, for example, the integral
molecule of water will be composed of a half-molecule of oxygen with one
molecule, or, what is the same thing, two half-molecules, of hydrogen."
Avogadro's reasoning about the divisibility of the integrant molecule
raises the question of atomicity. Gases for Avogadro were usually
diatomic, but certain substances could be tetratomic in the vapor state
as indeed phosphorus is. In later memoirs he allowed for the possibility
of monatomic molecules, as, for example, in gold. In his work there is
implicit the idea of equivalence, e.g., that one atom of oxygen is
equivalent to two atoms of hydrogen, which in turn is equivalent to two
atoms of chlorine. The concept of valency, was however, not developed
until the time of Frankland (1852).
Now, what is so hard about that ?
Why don't you disprove him ? Show your work please.
Uh, er, . . . okay. Whats your point?

I'm sure you will enjoy the passive-aggressive response, "I fail to see
the relevance," which you are free to translate as "I don't understand
how this is in disagreement with anything I've said, but perhaps you can
try to explain that to me in elaborate detail. I promise you that you
will fail in that effort."

This is perhaps as worthwhile as trying to explain 3D kinematics to a
barbecued turkey breast. The turkey breast will assuredly learn nothing.
The difference is that the turkey breast will not claim some kind of
victory for remaining unconvinced.

Read the post very carefully, and try to comprehend Avogadro's work. If
you cannot, that is OK too.

Are you implying moist air, that is air with water vapor, is not an
ideal gas because of latent heat ?

Or are you saying that it is not an ideal gas ?

Are their any existing real ideal gasses ?

Odd Bodkin:
Oh bullshit.
If anything, you're trying to both claim that Avogadro's law supports
your case and that water doesn't apply to Avogadro's law.
Avogadro's law pertains to gases. It is an observational law. That means
it is seen to hold true for gases found in the real world. This includes
gases that contain a significant amount of water in them, as well as
gases that do not. That is, it holds for a gas that is 70% nitrogen and
30% water by moles; and it also holds for a gas that is 80% oxygen and
20% carbon dioxide and no water; and it also holds for a gas that is
100% carbon monoxide. It also holds for a gas that is 99% water and 1%
nitrogen by moles, by the way. Those are observational facts.
Your statement is that this cannot possibly be true of gases containing
water because water is different. Thus your argument is essentially,
"Can't be, I don't believe it! You have to convince me!"
But the observational facts are otherwise, and that is what Avogadro's
law is about.
============================

How do you read from the above that I am claiming that Avogadro did not
know that moist air is not an ideal gas?

What I said above again is that Avogadro's law is about GASES. Not just
ideal gases. GASES. Real, observed gases. Including gases containing
water. Including moist air. Very moist air. Avogadro's observations were
true even for moist air. Now, what the hell does moist air not being an
idea gas have to do with it? Avogadro's law still applies for moist air.
His statements about gases weren't even about ideal gases. They were for
GASES, period.

anyhow, Avogadro insite into gas, pressure volume caused by essentially
fixed number of partials is very interesting. little things bouncing off
each other with a mean free path of ____ etc and causing pressure
volume, nice.

Thought problem, what would happen if the partial motion within a
volume, like a box, was constrained only to one hemisphere ? (not full
range of motion, like a full sphere) If you could separate all the
molecules going to the left from those going to the right into two
separate containers, (in an instant) how much force would one container
have ?

Below it's boiling point not only is H2O not an ideal gas it's not a gas at all. It's a liquid. When water evaporates it evaporates in little clusters/droplet that are suspended in air due to electrostatic forces. It's the weight of the droplets (the particle weight) that is applicable in the context of Avogadro's law. (You about have to have your head up your ass to use the molecular weight when dealing with multimers.)

You loon.
LOL. So the fact that "ideal" and "real" rhyme is your empirical evidence?
See Avogadro's paper for cited empirical evidence. See the other links
provided too. Unless you're incapable.

You and I are very different. You can't understand why anyone

LOL. You are a diamond who generates his own concept of what Avogadro's
law says by just "thinking about it" rather that actually reading about
it. You are a diamond who believes the world has missed a serious
problem that arises because of your mistaken idea of what a boiling
point is. You are a diamond who understands, where none of the sand
understands it, that density means the fraction of water to air.

Jim, I hate to tell you this, but you are waaaaaaaaaaaay round the bend
when "I've may have made a mistake" gets turned around in your head to
"I am a diamond." That's a feature exhibited by many a crank --
delusions of persecuted genius.

So that being said, regular people know that it's impossible to remove a
delusional person's delusions with reason or evidence. Delusions don't
respond to reason or evidence. That's why they're called delusions.
That's why you're not worth the time to argue with. Instead, you're just
going to hear a lot of tut-tutting.

yes delusional.

If a person has a delusion, there is absolutely no way, it is imposable
to reason with them about it.

So, let me get this straight, you would describe Galileo, Newton,
Einstein and every other scientist that has made a revolutionary
discovery as having displayed symptoms of a "mental disorder?"
Is that what you are saying?

Additionally, are you saying that the assertion that the gaseous
phase of a substance will not exist at temperatures below its
boiling point is an assertion that is, to use your word,
"idiosyncratic?"

You left out the demention of pressure, and the type of substance, and
its phase diagram

wiki water phase diagram here

google "CO2 phase diagram" and you will find gaseous phase exists below
its boiling point, where it sublimes.

Just think. If you had actual evidence of your magical cold steam then you wouldn't have any need at all to resort to stories about horses and crank indexes.

Maybe if you spent less time trying to distract our audience from the fact that you have failed to support your assertion you'd have time to, well, find your mysteriously missing evidence.

Keep looking.

Well, let's just say that it ain't no textbook.

simple as me having an objection to pandering to my audience.
It's more like I recognize that most consumers of science are

intention of giving you no avenue of escape.

You can try to dispute it if you want. But, let's face it,
you're already entangled. If you struggle you'll just become
more entangled. And there's no way out -- without thinking.
Sorry.

My only advice is that if you haven't gotten to the third
chapter yet stop now. But it sounds like it's too late for
that. Oh well. You had a good run. And it's not like me
making you think is some kind of violation of your civil

*********************************************
Book review1 1.0 out of 5 stars insane rambling July 3, 2014 By K.
Parker - The author believes that elementary concepts,

which have been taught to and understood by first year Chemistry and
Physics students for many decades, are some kind of meteorological
conspiracy. The author also does not understand the very
basic physics that drive convective updrafts (the positive buoyancy due
to warm temperature anomalies that result from latent heat release).
Instead, apparently based largely on reading websites, he proposes a
mechanism that makes no physical sense and is totally unobserved and
unobservable. This text violates even basic tenets of logic. Totally
without merit.

Book Review2 1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time, a non-funny joke July
16, 2014 By hunter - This book misleads the reader on basic physical
concepts like density, the basics of weather dynamics,and offers a silly
idea that confuses metaphors about how the jet stream operates with
reality. It solves nothing but does offer away to waste time and money
buying and reading it. This book is an example of the risks posed in the

an idiosyncratic belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite
being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational
argument, typically a symptom of mental disorder.
So, let me get this straight, you would describe Galileo, Newton,
Einstein and every other scientist that has made a revolutionary
discovery as having displayed symptoms of a "mental disorder?"
Is that what you are saying?
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
McGinn is now comparing himself to Galileo, Newton, and Einstein. That's
a lot of points on the Crank Index.
McGinn is also under the impression that Galileo, Newton, and Einstein
got to their conclusions by "just thinking about things" and that they
dismissed experimental assertions as just unsupported beliefs that had
to be replaced by revolutionary ideas.

Scientists debate the science. Trolls debate the scientist.
You haven't brought science. You've brought
profound ignorance of science.
If that is what you believe one can only wonder why you don't make a
substantive argument to that effect.
Already done.
You have a short memory about embarrassments.
Density's definition ring a bell? How about Avogadro's law and the fact
that particle size has nothing to do with it?
You tried to claim that Avogadro didn't realize that H2O isn't an ideal gas.
Oh bullshit.
If anything, you're trying to both claim that Avogadro's law supports
your case and that water doesn't apply to Avogadro's law.
Avogadro's law pertains to gases. It is an observational law. That means
it is seen to hold true for gases found in the real world. This includes
gases that contain a significant amount of water in them, as well as
gases that do not. That is, it holds for a gas that is 70% nitrogen and
30% water by moles; and it also holds for a gas that is 80% oxygen and
20% carbon dioxide and no water; and it also holds for a gas that is
100% carbon monoxide. It also holds for a gas that is 99% water and 1%
nitrogen by moles, by the way. Those are observational facts.
Your statement is that this cannot possibly be true of gases containing
water because water is different. Thus your argument is essentially,
"Can't be, I don't believe it! You have to convince me!"
But the observational facts are otherwise, and that is what Avogadro's
law is about.
LOL. So, the fact you cannot quote/reference Avogadro on any of this

If you don't read books, you could always check online.
Here are some suggestions:

writing in this case)

If you don't know what a mole means, you can always look that up in
books too. Or, perhaps you'd like some online resources:

Both of you, McGinn and Jacoby, are worthless pretenders, blustering and
posing and fundamentally lazy.

You are fine with "discussion" here, but whenever anybody points to
something that involves actually clicking a link and reading, then
suddenly that becomes distasteful and you want to go back to
"discussing". In that event, discussion becomes spelled "pointless
bickering and posturing and generally wasting everyone's time".

His sole
purpose in life is to call everybody else stupid to make himself seem
smart. But when you try to get a discussion out of him all he does is
run and hide saying he won't "spoon feed" anyone. He's obviously some
idiot professor who only keeps his job because he'll flunk any student
that complains about his incompetence.
Another fine example of you just making shit up. When you were little,
did your mother properly punish you when you fabricated lies, or is that
a moral standard you never picked up?

Right. Nothing like reading Avogadro's original work to foment creative
understanding of what Avogadro's law says. Much better to NOT read it,
and then just make up something else about Avogadro's law and particle

he is too lazy to write,
He just wants his posts to be at the top of his newsreader, that way he
thinks he is ahead.

but in other newsreaders, it does not go to the top, but adds on to an
existing thread.

He is an infection needing to be cauterized.
He likes to spread his mania around.

Scientists debate the science. Trolls debate the scientist.
You haven't brought science. You've brought
profound ignorance of science.
If that is what you believe one can only wonder why you don't make a
substantive argument to that effect.
Already done.
You have a short memory about embarrassments.
Density's definition ring a bell? How about Avogadro's law and the fact
that particle size has nothing to do with it?
You tried to claim that Avogadro didn't realize that H2O isn't an ideal gas.
Oh bullshit.
If anything, you're trying to both claim that Avogadro's law supports
your case and that water doesn't apply to Avogadro's law.
Avogadro's law pertains to gases. It is an observational law. That means
it is seen to hold true for gases found in the real world. This includes
gases that contain a significant amount of water in them, as well as
gases that do not. That is, it holds for a gas that is 70% nitrogen and
30% water by moles; and it also holds for a gas that is 80% oxygen and
20% carbon dioxide and no water; and it also holds for a gas that is
100% carbon monoxide. It also holds for a gas that is 99% water and 1%
nitrogen by moles, by the way. Those are observational facts.
Your statement is that this cannot possibly be true of gases containing
water because water is different. Thus your argument is essentially,
"Can't be, I don't believe it! You have to convince me!"
But the observational facts are otherwise, and that is what Avogadro's
law is about.

Do Not bother repling to this guy,
**ALL** his marbles are loose, and he is only here to argue.

HE IS ONLY HERE TO ARGUE.

Jim McGinn in his Book “Solving Tornadoes: Mastering the Mystery of the
Vortex” represents ‘the beginning of the end’ of what little
rationality mankind was capable of applying to any given
subject. McGinn represents an unusually high order of the Dunning-Kruger
effect seldom seen in ‘modern’ internet work; What other
authors are to Chemtrails and HAARP mind control Jim McGinn is to
understanding (or mis-understanding) tornadoes … To cite Jim McGinn as
an idiot or a moron is to slight idiots and morons.

from wiki: Dunning and Kruger proposed that, for a given skill,
incompetent people will:
fail to recognize their own lack of skill;
fail to recognize genuine skill in others;
fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy;
recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill, if they
are exposed to training for that skill.[5]

***James McGinn RETRACTION OF HIS TROLL BOOK !! He is proved a
plagiarist, and the book is gobblygook

nonsense **by his own admission **

Quote JM;

Well, let's just say that it ain't no textbook.

The confusion you are feeling is by design. And it's not so
simple as me having an objection to pandering to my audience.
It's more like I recognize that most consumers of science are
looking for an excuse not to think. I wrote it with with the
intention of giving you no avenue of escape.

You can try to dispute it if you want. But, let's face it,
you're already entangled. If you struggle you'll just become
more entangled. And there's no way out -- without thinking.
Sorry.

My only advice is that if you haven't gotten to the third
chapter yet stop now. But it sounds like it's too late for
that. Oh well. You had a good run. And it's not like me
making you think is some kind of violation of your civil
rights or something.
*********************************************
Book review1 1.0 out of 5 stars insane rambling July 3, 2014 By K.
Parker - The author believes that elementary concepts,

which have been taught to and understood by first year Chemistry and
Physics students for many decades, are some kind of meteorological
conspiracy. The author also does not understand the very
basic physics that drive convective updrafts (the positive buoyancy due
to warm temperature anomalies that result from latent heat release).
Instead, apparently based largely on reading websites, he proposes a
mechanism that makes no physical sense and is totally unobserved and
unobservable. This text violates even basic tenets of logic. Totally
without merit.

Book Review2 1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time, a non-funny joke July
16, 2014 By hunter - This book misleads the reader on basic physical
concepts like density, the basics of weather dynamics,and offers a silly
idea that confuses metaphors about how the jet stream operates with
reality. It solves nothing but does offer away to waste time and money
buying and reading it. This book is an example of the risks posed in the
age of inexpensive self publishing.


***Here are more of James McGinn or Soilent Potatoes troll posts as follows;

I am diamond.

Address the issue in the subject heading or kindly go away.

Try to imagine how our audience might view this conversation.
They are going to be left wondering why it is you don't just
supply the evidence that you claim to be so prevalent.

When believers can't find confirming evidence they just
believe harder.

You can't get any more basic than comprehending the difference between a
boiling point and evaporation. If you are confused

on that issue there isn't much anybody can do for you.

So, why do you think they are hiding this data from us?

Why do you think it is that you are the only person on earth that knows
this?

Okay . . . present your argument.

Or, you could just make a retraction.

I'm not a mind reader, if that is what you mean.

I believe I am right. But I don't claim I know I am right. Nor do I
lie and claim that the experiment has already been done, or

that it can be found in a textbook or that it was done by over 200 years
ago.

Most people believe whatever is easiest or most convenient to believe.
And, as you have demonstrated vividly, once they believe

it it's just about impossible to get them to stop believing it.

Thank you for helping me perfectly exemplify the point of this thread:
Humans are Stupid, Lazy, and Intellectually Dishonest . . .
. . . When it Comes to Challenges to Their Science Based Beliefs

I hope that if you should ever come across this, "easily obtainable"
background information that you don't hesitate to spoonfeed

it to the rest of us.

So, why do you think it is that only you can see this "easily
obtainable" background information?

( Now folks, do you see that METH IS BAD ? )

Don't feel bad, you are only human.

You mean alleged resources. Remember, the resources you are
accusing me of not finding are resources for which you
failed to provide a reference. Right?

If you can't distinguish between "basics" and superstitions
you are worthless as a scientist.

Remember, humans are fundamentally incapable of distinguishing
between what they believe and what they know. This is the
reason scientific methods (which you ignore) were developed
for the sciences and why rules of evidence were developed for
our legal system.

On 11/23/2014 12:22 AM, Solving Tornadoes pooped:

Just think. If I had actual evidence of your magical cold steam
then I wouldn't have any need at all to resort to stories about
horses and crank indexes.

Maybe if I spent less time trying to distract my audience from the
fact that I have failed to support my assertion I'd have time
to, well, find my mysteriously missing evidence.

Keep looking.

Also, while your are at it, keep an eye out for the holy grail. A
lot of people are looking for that.

I haven't dropped any claims. Don't confuse you with a character in my
book. And you goons haven't provided any references.
HORSE (is horse James McGinn et al ? hell yes.)

A man had a horse that wasn't very bright. The horse also wasn't very
productive, even though it seemed to think very highly of itself.

One day the horse looked very dehydrated, so the man filled a nearby
water trough. The horse did not move but looked more thirsty than ever.

The man led the horse to the water, even though he knew the saying. The
horse looked down at the trough, then turned away from the trough,
looking at the man instead.

The horse then brayed "The world is full of people like you that can't
distinguish water they know is there and water they believe is there,"
and then "If you believed that there is water in the trough,then one
would think you'd make a cogent argument to that effect," and then "You
are nothing but a grain of sand. I am a diamond."

The man, though astounded that a horse that stupid could talk, turned
and walked away, leaving the horse to fend for itself.
What experimental assertions? The ones in some textbook that you can't
find?
