Converting Repeating Decimals to Fractions using Algebraic Method is Invalid
Invalid, in this debate means that this method will fail to arrive at the correct result at last for one or more cases (one case is enough to prove it is invalid).
Here are two examples of this method in use (anywhere yo...
Time does not exist.
Time is a relativistic construct. The past times are memories and the future times are ideas. The only real moment in which we live is static, and anything else is merely a perception....
To stop the usage of fossil fuel is the only way to combat global warming
Dear Opponent, Thanks for accepting for this debate. Let's start the debate. Fossil fuel has some major impacts in our lifes.

In this debate, Con will choos...
Solar Electic Power
This is a challenge based off of discussion between Roy and myself. The complete resolution: Solar electric power can currently provide energy to the average American home owner at equal or lower cost than the current US grid rate. Solar electric power - Any power source derived directly from solar radiation (as opposed to coal, oil, wood, etc which come from organic material that got energy from solar). Since both Roy and I understand that the effectiveness of solar greatly depends upo...
