I'm not sure if you're talking about a theistic theory of origins or an evolutionary theory; because you included sin. Based on evolutionary theory, they were probably dark skinned. Considering the region of the world they came form. I'm not sure what the theories regarding skin color are. I would assume that the pigment gradually lightened as they moved north. I'd have to bust out my anthropology book, which I don't have right now.

The more biology I learn, the harder and harder it becomes for me to understand how evolution could be considered the sole perpetraitor(spelling errors) for our existence. I'm not denying that natural selection occurs, and that traits are adapted, however it is hard for me to rationalize how we went from inorganic material to living beings. I'll make this a series of threads over the next few weeks, each week posting various questions and thoughts on the subject. Hopefully some of you can offer some comments.

Why are the fetus and placenta, which resemble an allograft in that they express paternal genes, not rejected by the mother? Paradoxically, the fetus survives pregnancy despite the laws of classical transplantation immunology.

Yea, in psychology we learned of an experiment done one some indian tribe that had never been out of the deep jungle, and hence, never developed very accurate depth perception. When they were taken onto plains and shown animals in the far distance, they perceived the animals as small. They didn't understand that they appeared small because they were far away.

Came across a particularly convincing illusion today. wierd eh? Our mind has more to do with vision than we think.

From article at CNN: "Astronomers have fashioned an Earth-sized virtual radio telescope that can distinguish celestial features 3,000 times smaller than the those observed by the Hubble Space Telescope."

will u have access to a periodic table?

What resolutions do you guys run on your computers? The layouts were designs to look best on 1024x768 settings.Here in the computer lab at school the site looks like utter crap. I think the monitor is running 800x600. BOOO :mad:

Calm down faf, if it gets published, we'll all be eating our shorts. No need to call it bullshit. Its good that he's at least organizing his thoughts into papers. Zarkov, like faf said, if it doesn't get published, put it somewhere where we can read it. Take it easy guys.

Yea, but why can't magnets be used somehow? Does a magnet last forever?

Yea, I realized that when I checked the sin for each.

Why can't a clever magnetic contraption be used somehow? Sounds like free energy to me, though I'm sure theres a catch.

Sounds good in concept.. Eventually though you'd run out of water...halting everything. Also airlock doors would require power, and you'd lose even more water. Perhaps the energy in the bonds of the lost water is greater than the energy of the dropped barrel.. I was thinking, why drop the barrel with water in it? How about this: have the barrel drop empty. when it hits the bottom, theres an incline. The barrel rolls down the incline and the energy harnessed is used to open the first airlock door (very light material). After the barrel enters, the first door is dropped shut. There is yet another incline that is used to open the second airlock, flooding the chamber and floating the barrel. There would also be a chain to harness the energy while the barrel is rising. This energy lifts(w/ help of pulleys) the water inside the airlock seal back to the top, where it is dumped into the pool. repeat? Interesting thought, aman

Thought this was interesting: "In the movie, bright wispy structures can be seen moving outward at half the speed of light to form an expanding ring, visible in both X-ray and optical images. These wisps appear to originate from a shock wave that shows up as an inner X-ray ring. Dozen of knots in the ring brighten and fade. They jitter around and occasionally undergo outbursts that give rise to expanding clouds of particles. "These data leave little doubt that the inner X-ray ring is the location of a shock wave that turns the high-speed wind from the pulsar into extremely energetic particles," said Koji Mori of Penn State University, a coauthor of the paper. Another dramatic feature of the movie is a turbulent jet that lies perpendicular to the inner and outer rings. Violent internal motions are obvious. "The jet looks like steam from a high-pressure boiler," said David Burrows of Penn State, another coauthor of the paper, "except when you realize you are looking at a stream of matter and anti-matter electrons moving at half the speed of light!" " Quicktime Version MPEG Version AVI Version This movie shows dynamic rings, wisps and jets of matter and antimatter around the pulsar in the Crab Nebula as observed in X-ray light by Chandra (left, blue) and optical light by Hubble (right, red).

Right, but what about the total area? No parts changed, so the area should be the same, yet its not?

Extra large for faf plz. jk faf <3

Suppose a triangle is made up of various different shapes. No matter how you rearrange those shapes, the area should still be the same, correct? Either I'm missing something obvious, or its been too long since I've taken geometry..

Hrm, I'm wondering if you just baffled me with bs.

See if its fixed..

Would you ever consider having your pet cloned?

You read my mind, I was about to post about the potential for weapons. [x] Antimatter Dishwashers (tricky but possible) Definatly dishwashers. Besides, what kind of sick and twisted race would use latest scientific progress to make weapons of destruction. :scratch:

MEE!! PICK ME!!! Faf, your humor detector is broken. Please see a shop near you and have it replaced as soon as possible.

So does this lead to a behavioral difference? Aside from the negative charge being in the nucleus rather than around it.. Why is it so unstable?

CNN has an article that claims italian scientists have found evidence of water on three planetary systems. Looks like they used radio telescopes to search for water's maser emissions.

This is pretty cool: looks like a team of scientists created a substantial amount of antihydrogen: about 50,000 atoms.(link) I don't think I fully understand antimatter. What is the difference between antimatter and matter? If I had a box of each, how would I know the difference?
