not to mention the bizarre manner in which planets would form in the first place if they were hollow, and how they manage to stay that way

bah, getting warming every year in New York, i'm going to have to move to buffalo soon.

i'm not much older than you, but i do know that i learned more from reading hard science fiction than from physics class.

It's called Tiamet, it was made in the part of Larry Niven's known space series, and is referenced in a number of his stories. The main purpose of it is to make a habitat in it, spin it, thus creating an enviroment with gravity. Niven speculated that childbirth would not be possible in zero gravity, and the society of belters living in the asteroid belt would value Tiamet, as they would not have to visit Earth just to have children. I know Niven, i just don't know physics.

i think we all see the solution here- massive television sets ( the old kind)

The first star wars program may have failed, but it would be reasonable to assume that another one will be started or has already started. Is the concept even possible? And if so, how far do you think we are from being able to make it?

it's hard to determine if it's alive, because it is man made and in an enviroment unlike any other lifeform we have ever studied. Comparing it to other life forms is difficult, especially with common arguments of what is required in a life form.

well the first five look right. anyone feel like writing a computer program to come up with the next anwser?

as long as the child has a father figure for the first 16 years or so of their life, they'll be alright. the only reason for that father figure to be the biological one would be because of societal pressures, and i don't think there is any basic need for knowing who your true parents are.

im just interested in how the humanzee will be used in the "evolution vs intelligent design" argument. it could make for some great political ads. the premise isn't immoral, but the way people might try to treat it will be

i think religion always tries to strike at science whenever science doesn't have an immediate massive positive effect. when it leads to a new everday technological neccesity, the arguments against science seem to die out pretty quickly. when it's just some theory explaining out past, who needs that kind of heresy around? its nothing more than religion trying to hang scientist in a more civilized manner, and the case should get kicked out

hmmm... i hadn't figured on how quickly this thing grows. i was trying to check the latest answer and had an anorism, so il go ahead and stop checking em

my first memory was at age four. My cousin told me to pour my pepsi on the floor, which i did. Good thing my cousin lived five hours away, cause back then i did everything he told me to. Maybe it was because he was my hero and my getting in trouble for things he told me to do i remember being betrayed, although he was only five so now i know he didn't know any better.

high school, sorta. its assuming i dont fail this year.

if we get wiped out, my money is on the squids,either that or dolphins cause they have a head start.

two more right, although im only checking the first 9 numbers and assuming the rest is correct at this point, lol

oh, sure, if you erase the loops that make it impossible, anyone can solve it. it takes a real man to solve it despite the lack of any real solution!

aye, three right so far

looks like tree and ducky got it!

sorry, not right

aye, the solutions arent right. each house (1,2,3) has to go to each utility (g,e,w) so there would have to 9 lines total (i think the puzzle assumes you cant have a single line going through any houses, as it would be incredibly simple then) and it can NOT be solved

i got 2, then went back and checked. a little disturbing how off i was

heres a puzzle my math teacher gave me a few years back. you just have to figure out what the next line will be. 1 11 21 1211 111221 312211 13112221 if you figure it out post the next line without giving the secret, i wanna see how long it can get
