Until you have 200 posts

thanks jon is me

It was probably just a search engine, the bigger ones have 10+ connections at a time.

...because things that look the same with a shitty low-resolution electron micrograph really have the same DNA. I don't even see a phto of HIV on that page, the arrow thqt points to "HIV" contradicts the fact that the caption says HTLV-III. And actually, if you read the caption you'd find out those photos are a sequence of the same virus. The photos on the top don't show HIV either. That person is a cretinous ignoramus, and I can't wait till the day HIV kills his sorry ass.

Cosmic background radiation.

But do you really make decisions? "Decisions" are just a pattern of neurons firing; given the previous positions and trajectories, theres only one possible outcome.

Good guess, it's the best we have, but like this thread is about, there's other theories

The real definition of time is the direction in which entropy increases. This should help you to think about it deeper.

actually it's pretty simple. there's only one gene, and it effects them both. if the gene is recessive, you get blue eyes and usually light hair. deviations from blue (i.e. green) eyes is purely biochemical, since more than genes effect these things. this is especially evident in cats. An experiment published in Nature where a cat was cloned showed that the clones had different fur patterns than the original.

My question is more towards the origin of viruses rather than the driving force of continued evolution. Obviously that force is random mutations during reverse transcription or translation.

Machines that see through your clothes have already been developped for use at airports, but obviously met extremely heavy opposition.

Also the theory is for the quantum scale... something on our conscious level has an infinite amount of possibilities... like all the different reasons you could have thought of for making a particular sandwich. The theory applies when a particle has an exactly equal chance of doing two things, so then does both.

The lead problem with this theory is that it would require the creation of new matter. While matter can obviously be created, supposedly the process took billions of years. And this is assuming there is more than one possibility. According to classical mechanics, given r0, v0, and all forces (F), you can know the future. v(t) = :int:v0vdv' = :int:t0t t/m dt' (F=ma = m dv/dt) same concept for r(t).

The endosymbiotic theory about mitochondria supports the idea of organisms becoming less complex, but takeup of what by them? Viruses don't take up anything.

NewScientist is reporting new research being presented today at the American Society of Anesthesiologists which found the redheads typically require 20 percent more anesthesia before sensations of pain are not present, this is possibly related to the presense of the chemical melanocortin in the brain.

Not that long, it's just looking right at the edge of our solar system.

Since the subject still is debatable, where do you stand and why?

CNN is reporting that a Russian TV station will create a reality show that will follow contestants through cosmonaut training, and whoever wins gets to spend a week on the International Space Station. On a personal note, I think this disgraceful. Any uneducated slob like a reality show contestant (or Lance Bass for that matter) shouldn't get to go to the space station, it's not a tourist attraction for the people the media focuses on. I'm all for a hotel in space and people going to the ISS, but this is absurd.

A newly published paper in The Astrophysical Journal talks about the possibility of using a high-powered laser to scan for black holes by detecting the concentric rings of light that would be reflected. The authors of the paper say this technique is similar to detection of MACHOS (massive compact halo objects; possible repositories of dark matter) and could provide the first direct observations of black holes close to our solar system. ABSTRACT Shine a flashlight on a black hole, and one is greeted with the return of a series of concentric rings of light. For a point source of light, and for perfect alignment of the lens, source, and observer, the rings are of infinite brightness (in the limit of geometric optics). In this manner, distant black holes can be revealed through their reflection of light from the Sun. Such retro-MACHO events involve photons leaving the Sun, making a :pi: rotation about the black hole, and then returning to be detected at the Earth. Our calculations show that although the light return is quite small, it may nonetheless be detectable for stellar-mass black holes at the edge of our solar system. For example, all (unobscured) black holes of mass M or greater will be observable to a limiting magnitude m, at a distance given by 0.02 pc * [10(m-30)/2.5(M/10Msun)2]1/3. Retro-MACHOs offer a way to directlyimage the presence of black holes and would be a stunning confirmation of strong-field general relativity. -Holz & Wheeler, Retro-MACHOs: [pi] in the Sky?

There's alot of really good songs, LEAVE ME ALONE USF MEXICAN

What's wrong with listening to Celine Dion? I for one have all her songs, and not just the English ones :/

Interests besides science?#~!@!~#@?!~@#?~!@#?~!@#?#~!@ jk. tennis, golf, hanging out, partying... berating the ever-craporific USF (blikes school), arguing with anyone and everyone in chat rooms over anything, SLEEPING.

I believe that if something already happened that you can't alter it, only observe it.

And just because the virus wasn't found until then doesn't mean there were no cases; especially since HIV itself doesn't kill you, it just destroys your immune system to make way for various other diseases.

The universe will end one day. I suspect that day will come first.
