About the Casual Sets... in a way isnt every single particle influencing every single other particle any way? I would think so at least... and if that were true what would the point of it be? I'm probably just not getting it -_-' lol

It all comes down to jurassic park really... *wants a pet dino!!!* lol Nice location there JesuBungle haha

Sorry. If the big boss is corrupt, there is very little you can do unless there is someone higher up then him...

cool! you built a rail gun? *runs to Amazon.com to get "Rail Gun Building For Dummies"* lol. I have a question. Your theory pretty much states that gravity is dipolar... well then how come we have never come across any kind of source of "anti-gravity" ?

And by the way, it isn't 100% fact that the earth's core is iron. There are other theories... one of my favourite is that earth's magnetic field is created by a natural nuclear reactor at the core. If there were large amounts of radioactive particles, they would sink down to the core (being heavier then most other particles). Also, Anjruu: electrons "make" photons when they move down an energy level (or move up... cant remember lol). They expel the energy as a photon.

I say we all switch over to stones. hehe <-- is 9 stones lol

alright. but really, C* is by far superior and works better with Kelvins as well. but I wont make this into a fahrenheit vs. Celsius thread lol

exactly. When I say my grandpas house in the country is an hour away, people can make a good estimate (they assume I'm travelling at 100km [60mi] making it about 100 km away lol) But yah, you're right. this is gone on long enough lol.

swansont: Alpha said that NASA tried it but couldnt do better. but Alpha says alot of things... I heard about that. You know where I heard it from? A show on the Discovery Channel about crazy free energy theories lol.

yah, I think its a wee bit more intricate lol. you have to stuff desktop specs into something with an eighth of the volume...

When you get right down to it, this is about language use, not science lol

length of DNA chain is not a good indication btw. I'm no geneticist (if thats a word ) but I know alot of species have many redundant copies of dna strings... making them seem alot longer or more complicated then they really are. And you cant say that a food system never collapses. What if the earth was rapidly pushed to an orbit closer then even mercury? or something else completely catastrophic. An event of that magnitude could very well kill off all life on the planet. I doubt any species on earth would be able to adapt... even ground dwelling ones and the like. That would completely collapse most if not all food webs and ecological systems on the planet... THAT would definetly be ecological damage Lol... EDIT: btw, very cool name chupacabra

Starcraft is like that. Its almost always 1 guy who lags, you boot him from the game and voila! its all good. However, starcraft is a VERY hacked out game (or is until a new vers comes out and all of them have to start over lol). I know they have lag hacks that can slow down everyones connection and drop them from a game. Good way to get yourself up on ladder wins

yah, this will not work. In the end people buy computers, and if they dont like it they wont buy it. Then someone else will see the opportunity and sell a product that they do want. The point is that none of these companies have a true monopoly (or could keep one). IF that were so... well, computers would suck I guess lol.

LMAO Ya'll burn in hell for your scientific-a-mal-ness, putting thoughts in our chillun's heads! But really, I wish Canada was polled -_-'

A) I hope you mean fahrenheit because 100 celsius would fry it and B) Why are you even using fahrenheit??? lol. This is a science website, and science uses metric units -_-' C) No clue if it will help lol. Instinctually you would think so, but it would probably depend on whether the plant is native to a warm environment or not.

And the irony is that you have it wrong as well... pounds is a measure of weight. Pounds are units of force just like newtons. kilos are the only measure of mass, all others (newtons, pounds, stones, etc.) are of the force exerted between an object and whatever planetary body you happen to be on. And kilos in the sense that day to day people say is considered a unit of weight as well, just one that happens to be proportional to weight when on earth, like Neil said.

What your saying is true - if we were all thrown into the jungle and had to survive. I've always believed that technology is just another adaption, and with us almost an apendage to evolution. If you say, cut the legs off of an entire species of animal I doubt they would survive. Technology is the same, if we suddenly got rid of it, our bodies wouldn't be able to cope without it. By the way, genetic mutations are far more detrimental then beneficial. Thats why human ailments will get worse and worse... EXCEPT good old technology will probably solve the problem... once we completely understand DNA coding humans will no longer be born with DNA abnormalities. so, your theory is true but humans will always evolve and adapt to fix the problem.

Hmm... this is a digression, but talking about number systems Has anyone heard of the "infiger" system. It was a math problem I came across about some race of aliens starting up their own number system. They were doing well enough with integers up to 10, but they soon needed fractions and such... The race didnt believe in things having no end (aka .33333...) so they made them START with an inifinite amount of numbers, and all the numbers would be integers (no decimals) hence the name infigers. like 1/3 was ...6667 I think 5 would be ....0005 -7 would be ....9992. I'm getting to into to this, but if you want to know more, google it you'll probably find something. I may just make a thread on it too.

I dont think the force of the photons is what hes getting at... if you read his Iron Rules the Universe post, you see that he's somehow trying to say, that the infrared rays are moving at c, which somehow ties in to magnetism, which somehow ties into gravity, which is what causes the bar at top to move. I think to make this even the least bit credible, he'd have to put it the entire thing into a vacuum, at which point I believe and movement will be extremely hard to detect... so he'll need something that can detect the minutest of movements. On a side note... I owned the forum that kinda makes my day lol

Have you ever read the Earth King series by Robert Jordan? Its complete fantasy, but interesting still... In it, they have a process using "blood metal" shaped into specific ideograms that could take a certain attribute from someone... like strength, endurance, eyesight, hearing, sense of touch, and including metabolism. Metabolism had the effect of increasing the speed that the reciever percieved the world, so that everything seemed to go in slow motion, and also he could move that much faster. A bad side effect however, was that their life span was reduced. For them, living 1 hour was in their reality living 2 hours... Anyway, this is a complete digression, but I really like the book and I thought I'd mention it. Skeptic: Thats exactly why, through natural (or artificial depending on how you look at it) selection, as parents have their children later and later in life longevity is increasing. Read about it in an article in Discover magazine, it said longevity is naturally increasing at about 25 years every century.

*cuts CurvKyle with his serrated leaf* Yah, like to see a herbivore come near this baby...

mmm spicy food... *starts up a theory and names it "Spicy Foods Rule the Universe!!!!!111!1!"* You see, tacos are the actual cause of gravity... Rule #25 of Crack-pottery: Exclamations are a must for a good theory.
