Is there a question in there? if your asking what cloroform its CHCl3... ~Scott

i must say that i have viewed this thread without replying mainly because i think i might turn this into a flame war then get banned so i think its best if i just stay out of this argument. But it is an interesting thread none the less ~Scott

To anwer question 1 yes they do feel pain, most of their pain sensors are actually in their mouth so the hook would well you get the idea. I saw this in a documentary they injected small amounts of bee venom into the lips of fish. They then started rubbing their lips on things trying to remove the pain. Previously in was thaught that fish only sensed pain not how we know it as discomfort but rather as just a safety mechanism that let them know their bodies were damaged. By seeing the fish trying to aleviate the pain or discomfort we know that they don't just register pain as damage but they feel it in similar ways as we do. As for question two i have no idea. ~Scott

Is that why u quit? fear of combustion, if you ask me thats a pretty good incentive ~Scott
-
Yeah quitting is seriously hard, I've done it a few times this is currently attempt number three ~Scott

Scroll down a bit on this page that cyclotron dosn't look too expensive i mean millions? ~Scott

Interesting side note on the guy. He was in the Hilter Youth when he was in school, aparently he opposed the Nazi's though. ~Scott

Sorry i should have been more specific i think the possibiltty of very small amouts of water existing on the moon is still half and half as far as proof goes. Something like thirty years ago they detected a cloud of water vapour on the moons surface but i think its pretty much agreed on that there isn't realy a usable/sustainable amount up there. ~Scott

This is how it was explained to me, sometimes when your body is fighting an infection it can kill enough of it quickly enough that if it spreads theres not enough of it to start up again once it has moved so you dont notice it cuz your body deals with it quickly. Sometime your body can't kill enough and the infection moves on and now your immune system has to fight two infection sites rather then one and the chance of it spreading again are even greater. Thats why when an infection spreads it tends to spread a few times before you can take it down. As for mucus do you smoke? that can make things worse it sucks having to resist smokes while your sick... ~Scott

As far as the moon goes you can forget fuel and water, But mars we know it has ice but im not sure if they've found liquid water there? maybe im wrong. I don't know about fuel theres alot of iron up there but theres only so much you can do with that...Seeing as its closer to the sun i would guess that solar power would be more viable then it is here on earth that could be a possibility for fuel. I heard that mars isn't massive enough to retain its atmosphere and any atmosphere that is created would slowly leak away making a terraformed mars even harder to establish any1 know if that is true? ~Scott

I get what your saying, but I think that these realationships with the "mother country" are more contemperary rather then historical/ledgendary. But i will agree with you that these links are a defining factor in our diferences to America. Care to suggest how they will effect school shooting though? I think our schools are such a multicultural environment that we can rule out the everyone has the same heritage so are less violent to one another argument. What are we going to do with Homebush eh? Well I say ship it down to tazzy it'll fit right in down there ~Scott

Got it thanks guys

Hey i agree with you millions of different futures can be predicted but none can be certain only assigned with probabilities, no clockwork for me. I find security in the fact the future can't be determined (at least scientificly) I spose it should be the other way around shouldn't it but that would be kind of boring huh... ~Scott
-
Ok so the furure is in motion, but the question is can we find out which way its going ~Scott
-
Ask them what path they would have told you to go down yesterday they will both point to the correct path Wasn't this in throught the looking glass or something? ~Scott
-
That was seriously impressive .... ~Scott
-
True, but untill we can, i'll have to go with the nondeterministic view thats just me ~Scott
-
Yes i understand what you were saying and I wait for it, it'll shock ya, I disagree. I think the world is totally nondeterministic did you not read my post. Jeez just because someone dosn't agree with you you shouldn't act like your totally above them and come off as a jackass. ~Scott

Thanks for clearing that up I think we put too much weight on it i mean f dosen't realy equal mass times accelleration but everyone is taught that a school and everyone uses that equation. I think that they should teach it with less authority we are always told newtons laws are 'absolutely correct' then they teach us special relativity and thats 'absolutely correct'. I understand that theres no point calculating the diff using reativity in our everyday lives but i just think that they should also say but it is incorrect... ~Scott Edit: I just saw swansnots post what is invarient mass?
-
I don't buy into determinism. Think of it this way the computer can't accurately predict when a certain radioactive nucleus will decay But can assign a probability. Now maybe so what if the comp can't predict the breakdown of a nucleus. Well what if someone walks by this nucleus it decays he gets cancer and dies and what if he walks by and it dosn't decay he lives goeson to become the next hitler and the world is changed beyond belief? If the computer can't determine one thing only one accurately then it can't predict everything thus no determined or "Clockwork universe". ~Scott

"Mandatory volunteering " Is that an oxymoron? or something else... i can't think of the name of ~Scott

That is highly debateable but that is not the topic so i won't go into that.. However, My argument is more socialy we don't have many hiostorical links (that go past a couple of hundred years). Sure our parliment and law systems have many links to a older heritage but i mean socialy we are not linked to comonwealth. That being said you do have a point perhaps the difference in laws could be the deciding factor in this case. But i would suggest that it is how these laws are implimented are recieved by the country in current times rather then their historical content. BTW- I like your sig ~Scott

Ok this sort of came from YT's thread so i'll ask my question here:) In the eqn f = ma Lets say the object accellerates to 99.999c (lets just say light speed to keep it simple) Then wouldn't its mass change? That means that the force would be different when the acceleration is equal and the mass is determined by how long the object has been accellerating? I'll give an example. In a normal situation two identical objects traveling at the same constant acceleration will have the same force even if one object has traveled for 2second and the other for 4seconds But if you lets another object, identical to the other two mentioned but let it accellerate for a realy long time if will approach light speed where its mass will change and it will get a different value for force then the other two which got equal values...Why is this? ~Scott

Sorry YT i'll start another thread ~Scott
