Why would you have to have a "white" gene in you for your skin to evolve white. Hey, one shot and a humans skin can turn green. Then again I guess I can ask myself a question, why don't babies come out darker if both partners have sex with a heavy tan.

I never asked if we were two different species. If you stuck a bunch of whites in africa and let them evolve out for a couple thousand years would they start becoming black? If you took a bunch of blacks and let them live in greenland or upper canada for thousands of years, would they start to turn white? Are there any white african tribes? Are there any black Eskamos....im sure I spelt that wrong.

so.....yes then? We are different colors because of our "original environment"? You say we don't abandon that, but I thought everybody was black when humans were first around? Or did whites just evolve from chimps in a different part of the world? Did we start from africa and move out or did the first group of humans to come in existance just live in africa? Nobody answered my question if we all started living in space, if black would evolve out to being white and whites would just be...well about as white as you get if not a smickle of sun hits you.

I got kicked out of a classroom for thinking black people are black because of the warm climate and that they are still evolving out of it. I made a polar bear and brown bear reference and it really pissed the teacher off. I'm wondering, am I wrong and there just happen to be black and white and everything inbetween people, or is it really because of the climate? Please don't mistake this as racist, for any of you extremely easily offended. I've never read anything about it but I think I did hear on discovery once "dark skin to help fight the heat" or something to that affect. If we all started living in spaceships in outerspace and the blacks kept mating with the blacks and the whites kept mating with the whites, would we all end up being really pale thousands and thousands of years later?

So I cant bent a diamond into a ring? I'd have to take a big chunk of it and use a laser to chizzle away?

Osmium is still the heaviest right?

So a diamond is impenetrable to a rusty sandwax? or being dragged on the ground at high speeds?

what do you mean by diamond is the hardest? You said it melts easy and it breaks easy so what does hard actually mean?

Why not just 200m of lead?

above ground. What's with the never ending onslaught of saracastic posts?

alright lets try something else. What would I want to make a bunker out of to survive a direct hit from an atomic bomb?

Do we have anything you could send into the sun?

Doesn't have to be one thing, can be a mixture. Even something that is impractical on account of it's cost or weight.

That's a neat concept, messes with my head though. Seems like when you take it all in, to go into the past or future by going to a different universe makes his cause sort of irrelevant. I'm thinking about the infinite number of universes that spring the instant he leaves his own, one to cover every possible outcome for every instant, then to consider all the universes at a supre similar point in time that he doesn't even exist in. Kind of makes you wonder, what is he saving, what is he not saving and is there a difference? If there is does it matter? What does matter? Room for thought perhaps.

A reward for bringing the future faster? lol, jk.

That's the scariest suggestion I've ever heard in my life. If they let him go I'll be there with the british army ready to prove wrong the theory of not being able to destroy energy.

I've givin it quite a long time of thought and decided to have a how behind everything, whether I reveal it or not. Some stuff will be revealed, other stuff will be there to figure out if you want to. It gives people who like the story something to fall in love with other then the massive universe of characters. I don't like to explain things in stories, I like them to just come up in conversations and end up being revealed. My magic users know the how for most of their abilities, just not the why. There is a why, the audience will never know and the characters never truely understand. They sit around and realize things and pick believes themselves just like we do. They have no clue why they can do these things and other people can't, but they know how they can and how other people can't. My biggest problem is this one energy/force allows them to do a large number of different things. For example your casual element powers. Using this energy and force to create fire and being able to use the same thing to create ice while still being limited to how much of it you can use before you become weak. Even more annoying, there's spells and symbols. Like one of the characters uses his finger to burn a symbol into a door and the door becomes virtually impossible to get through. It all has to be tied to the same energy/force. Any ideas or thoughts would be great. They aren't really creating anything, they're just taking that energy and manipulating it using techniques they've been trained to use and they can do a whole bunch of things. They're like Jedis and hogwart students thrown together. There's another aspect to this energy to. It allows them to become stronger and push themselves harder then normal people. One character has a special bench press in his basement and he's doing many reps of 1500lbs. Another speed bursts twice to knock guns out of peoples hands, after the second burst he's deleriously tired though. Not only do they have strong leg muscles so they can jump twice to three times as high as a normal person, they can use their energy to push out under their feet and launch them into the air. There's a difference between strength gained from this energy, and the energy for an instant to do something, like flip a car over, run really fast, or jump really high into the air. Amod im going to go check out your thread now. None of you guys have any other ideas on senses?

look forward to hearin from yah.

I have no idea if this is the right place, so my bad. I've been working on a story for the last couple of months based on similar world like this with one difference, the ability to use magic. I've been doing research and trying the best I can to have a reason for the magic to work. So it's not tradition magic, I want their to be a science behind it. Well one of the things im going over now is having more then 5 senses and I was hoping for a bit of help. Not only would like help on comming up with new senses, but help on defining if the ability can be considered a sense or not. Sensing Motion - And I mean in a way that you can still tell someone is moving around you even if you've lost all of your 5 other senses. Sensing Emotions - Being able to tell if someone is sad or happy without judging their body language and facial expressions. Reading Mind - With this im not sure if you it should be related to sensing emotions or if the two can be respectively seperated. By reading mind I mean, knowing what their thinking and be able to see thier memories. Sensing Life Force - This is where it would respectively cross more over to science fiction. The ability to feel the energy in someones body, the same energy that allows them to use what they call "magic". This would involve being able to detect individual presences, and how much energy they have. Being able to compare to people and sense which one has more energy. Comming up with an excuse or science behind this energy is something I haven't done yet. Seeing the universe - That analogy of being on one side of the earth and seeing what's going on on the other side. Not sure if you could consider that a sense but it seems like it should be considered something different then the way you see with your eyes. Seeing the universe without time - Oracle like power, being able to see not only everything, but everything that ever happened and ever will happen. That's all I got right now, not sure if telepathy should be considered a sense, or if it should be thrown in with mind reading. Thanks for any help or thoughts!

I think it was slepton. In my head I've been thinking something along th elines of strangeon but I know they weren't talking about strange quarks. What's a lepton do again?

I remember a couple months ago watching a nice little show done like a movie about disaster scenarios. There was one where, I think, the guy was going to use a particle accelerator to do something and it exploded and start forming something (I think it was a black hole). Well before they did it the news reporter was talking about a theory of what may happen in a worst case scenario, something about forming particles that start with an S. Can anybody help me out?

If light was faster or slower would it make a difference? Are all things distant and velocity relative to light? So if light was slower the unvierse would be smaller and things would be closer together, and if it was slower you'd be slower to so it wouldn't help you out at all?

Another question, I know Bose-Einstein Condensate is a solid but what does it look like?

What's liquid helium look like? Is it dangerous other then the fact if you touch it you can kiss your hand good bye?

Ok, other then wormholes, has any other concept been introduced towards getting around in the universe? Do you guys think we'll ever get out of this galaxy, ever???
