China is already a superpower.

Where was the Big bang in this Theory?

No I don't. You seem very confident that there is drug in your food, you must have your reason. I suppose you told your doctor about that and I suppose you found no response. You are suspecting your close environment and want an answer from an independent lab. Is that it? Or are you suspecting some relative to put in your food medication prescripted by your doctor in your ignorance?

Are you under medication? Thyroid?

from here. IIRC this scenario happened several times in History.* The capitalistic system has a one way current going from the whole society into bankers pockets. There is no way back in the system itself: it is much like entropy. The only way to redistribute wealth is outiside of the conventional system, through violence. I wonder how it is possible for bankers not to have learned yet that as much their wealth increase as much they put themselves in increasing danger. No need to be a divine to see that the western world reaches slowly but surely the edge of debt. One day will come when politicians (or people) will turn against the loaners and redistribute the money without asking for permission. * Edward I of England settled his problems almost the same way. I am sure a good historian can find examples at 40-50 years interval.

If you mean Pytheas of Massalia's trip, it was much much later, around 325 BC. Where do the gold come from? are there gold mines around?

There are other ways to find water. Look at Gaddafi's Great Manmade River, an inspiring work for other countries like Saudi Arabia. See this article about scientists searching for ancient aquifers. there are also the Qanats of Iran which show that there is underground water and that people there are inventive. As for rain, I am afraid it is not yet on the human scale to influence climate at will. __________________ edit: Your pdf is unclear to me. You need to expand your ideas.

IMHO the ethic issue coming from the lending & debt procedure is about the relation of power of the wealthies against the poor. Not so long ago debt could throw you in prison or in slavery. A terrible way to use of this power is to stop abruptly to lend and ask your money back. In this situation, there will be blood.

I ment that after looking on the web, i found nothing about gigantism in vegetation at that period of time. There are mention of gigantism in earlier periods, but not at the time of dinosaurs. Or I missed something.

1900-1700 B.C. Thanks, I was not aware of these findings.

Yes, I was thinking about that, amongst other things. Anyway there is no hope. Even if one could demonstrate that T-Rex had a double ratio of pressure on the ground than [insert your preferred animal here], so what? There are too many variables in order to get a conclusive result. This is water for Earthling's watermill. Can you reasonably imagine a slow running predator? (if it was a predator: one of the variables). And still, images like this make me think something must have changed drastically from ancient times to allow that kind of gigantism. Note: on this picture one can see it is regular scale-up, it is not what one would expect following the square-cube law. ----------------- edited: Nothing about plants. It looks like vegetation of that period was uninfluenced by gigantism.

Thanks. that is not the way it is presented in the first posts of this thread about LaTeX tutorial. From wiki Stonehenge From wiki Egyptian Pyramids And if you dig a little about megaliths, you will find that the earliest structure of this kind is in Turkey dated 9th millenium B.C. * there were wooden structure at Stonehenge as early as 8000 B.C. but evidently these are the remains of the telegraph they used at that epoch.

Well, Marat is one, I am 123456, you are 2,... ............... Just a coincidence I presume. Tar are the 3 reverse letters of Marat, your avatar represents several individuals, number 2 after your signature (Tar2) suggests there are other Tars, and in another thread Marat suggested maybe any member here represents a comitee, after which statement I responded That is what I thought just happened. My mistake.

Is that it?

Sorry i thought it was obvious. No positive outcome of course. Other societies applied the italicized and we know the result. Note: I am trying to avoid Godwin's law. But the law is the law.

After some deeper thought, maybe it is incorrect to compare a T-rex with an elephant. The one is a terrible running predator, the other is a nonchalant vegetarian. Since I am not aware of any current bipedal predator comparable to T-rex, maybe the ostrich would be the best candidate.

Yes. But then, what is this one phenomenon on which all are correct but on which all disagree?

What a relief to know I am not the only one in the world! It is a conspiracy. Women get totally crazy when they encounter a naked male wearing only one sock, searching desesperately for the other. ALWAYS put your pants first. These corrupted females want to put the other sock... yes. There.

If we had to kill all those who are serving nothing positive on society, draining society's income...

It reminds me a study about half asleep ducks.

I wanted to put a link about "empirism" but the word (empiricism) has a different meaning in the english language. Practical skill, yes, knowledge from experience: a great force we are losing bit by bit. Any profession has its little mysteries, owned only by the professionals. Old professions have dissapeared, skills disappeared. How to scarve a rock without a jackhammer, or moving a 20 tons object without a crane, that seems inconceavable. But they did. Not by calculating, but through practical knowledge. --------------------------- I remember some years ago at a work of restauration of a neoclassical building, a worker standing sceptical in front of a little problem: the first step of the outer staircase to the building had moved down from its place about 10 cm. It was a solid block of pentelic marble about 3 metres long, 20 cm height, 40 cm depth. estimated weight about half a ton (500kgs). He told me not to worry about. I went on my inspection and after half an hour came back to see what to do. The problem was already solved. The man all alone had lifted the marble block and put it back, just like that. With a lever I guess, he wouldn't tell me, only smiling. ------------------------------- Some other fabulous artisan, almost illetrate. He sells and cut marbles. One day at the office, explaining how he solved one of his problems. He is paid following the square meters of delivered products. When the product is rectangular, all well. When it has a peculiar polygonal scheme, that is still o.k., he knows the formula for a triangle (basis by heigth divided by 2). But when you cut a circle, how to calculate the surface? His thought (I hope it was a true story): "When I cut a circle, I can put a rope all around and get very easily its perimeter" "then I thought with my practicle mind, that each line coming from the center and going to the perimeter (the radius) is a very tiny tiny triangle, and that there are as many such triangles as the perimeter is long. And then, if I get the surface of all these tiny-tiny triangles I get the surface of the circle". Which is very correctly perimeter by heigth divided by 2 or [math](2{Pi}R)R/2[/math] = [math]{Pi}R^2[/math] (trouble with Pi in LaTeX)

You may be interested in body language and non-verbal communication. A good part of it comes from the fact that we are animals too. For example the fact that many people are frightened by snakes is in great part caused by their absolute ignorance of the snake's body language.

Below my opinion(s) 1.Creative force? Creation has never been observed. So I personally dismiss the question. 2.Organizing force? Actually we know 4 of them. These are the 4 interactions electromagnetism, strong interaction, weak interaction (also known as "strong" and "weak nuclear force" respectively) and gravitation. The interesting thing is that scientists struggle to the unification of those 4 interactions in quest of a single "organizing force". IMHO you need 2, not one. 3.how did the universe come to be? Ask someone else (see 1.)

Bring a real living animal in the classroom. Teens will be delighted. A mouse for example. Or better, a cow.

Yes and no. Murder yes. And no, in most countries the patient is not allowed to decide if he will put an end on his own days: suicide is an offense and euthanasy is illegal.
