Energy doesn't have mass; it isn't matter.

You don't know where it goes, it's not impossible that it goes somewhere.

Well energy alters the state of what it runs in to, so if you had a very dense array of particles surrounded a matter anti-matter annihilation in theory you might be able to come pretty close to experimentally observing what is predicted by the formula.

Can't measure it with current technology, although one day that may be an interesting verification or refute of Einstein's equation.

Well actually, :inf: - 4 n:neq:{0,2} n:neq:{:inf:,-:inf:}

I feel compelled to note the following chat log: blike again: how many ordered pairs (x,y) of positive integers are solutions to 4/x + 2/y = 1? blike again: 1 ordered pair blike again: of positive integers blike again: (8, 4) blike again: right? fafaIone: unlimited blike again: howso fafaIone: (4n/n-2, n) blike again: k

In quantum computing, entangled particles are identical over large distances... is the propagation of this synchronization faster than c, and if not (or even if), what is the mechanism of communication?

Isn't a series like that a sum tho; this allowed for calculating any digit of pi without calculating any of the preceeding digits.

Actually, it is asexual. Identical twins come mitotic division after fertilization. And you can't call it wrong for us to create life in the test tube, that's what in vitro fertilization is. Now your argument is reduced to having 2 parents. The person that's being cloned had two parents. Single parents are everywhere. What if a person is completely incapable of making eggs that can be fertilization by sperm; should they not be allowed to use cloning to have a child? Since so many things are influenced by environmental factors (even appearance, see the cat cloning expermient), the child would still be distinct and varied. If you say no, then you're sliding down the slope that will bring us to fertility treatments are wrong.

That's what I'm talking about, nice reading comprehension, can't wait to see your MCATs

Go ahead and post them, I'm sure me or someone else can be of help

So you have yet to explain why clones are acceptable if nature does it, but it's evil if we reproduce that effect...

Like I really care about IE on my system. It's the best browser by far, no sane person denies it. Oh and Wine can't run all windows apps. It can't run most high-end games and apps at all.

Even if it was one point, what was that point in? Not on earth, that's for sure

Stem cell research IS cloning humans. Parents who adopt kids choose the characteristics they want, why aren't they nazis? Parents already control their kids development to an extent, and when parents try forcing kids into things they can't or don't want to do, there are serious adverse consequences. And ignorance is also not realizing the diversity of prefences that would not result in a more narrow gene pool; assuming that even matters. Every time modern medicine saves a life using technology, it's going against the evolutionary principle of eliminating the weak. Remember, nature has no sympathy for the weak. If we didn't use technology to eliminate competition, if you broke a leg, theres a good chance you'd get eaten by something. If you got a bad disease your immune system couldn't handle, your weak immune system was eliminated from the gene pool. With a few exceptions, this is virtually eliminated. I'm not saying all this is a bad thing, just that all this "it's against nature" crap is hypocritical.

2 weeks later I'm just noticing the glaring typo in the title, thanks for pointing it out :/

Can you provide an original source on this? I'm thinking more along the lines of it being a natural instinct to wash the potato.

It's no more unnatural than in vitro fertilization, especially given the case of identical twins. Until you can explain why a cloned human is any different than an identical twin, you can't explain why doing it with a small needle and 2 cells is any different. Parents have the right to choose how their kids dress, they have the right to shape their personality, choose what they eat, basically control every aspect of their lives. Personally if my parents had chosen to make me lack the genes related to slow metabolism, I would have been better off. And if we can eliminate ignorance, well certainly you'd have benefitted Eugenics is not evil. Just because something is not natural doesn't mean its evil. It wouldn't even reduce variety, since peoples preferences are incredibly diverse.

Not created naturally? Yeah, and in vitro fertilization is completely natural! One parent? Tons of kids grow up with one parent for other reasons, so what? "The people pushing this are ...rich nutters...grieving parents..." You're an idiot. Plain and simple. Ignorance. I'm neither and still support it, as do many many people I know who also neither of those. Problems like premature might be overcome through cell stell research, which involves cloning. We don't know the arthritis was related to the cloning process. Environmental factors influece many conditions. You don't support because you're ignorant to the facts. Not all people who oppose it are ignorant like this, but you are.

Today I went to a colloquium on neutrinos, with a lecture by the same guy who discovered supersymmetry. Here's some thoughts I had: Neutrino oscillations: tau, electron, and muon neutrinos all have different masses; so why isn't neutrino oscillation a violation of mass conservation; since electron neutrinos would gain mass? Dimension Five calculations in the Standard Model allow for violations of lepton conservation (related to our past argument involving their conservation if an electron was split) The Cosmic Neutrino Background, similar to the CMB... anyone have thoughts on how we might detect it? What exactly is happening besides neutrino production with photon fusion at the core of the sun? The brane: Superstring theory predicts that we are part of a higher dimensional system but don't realize it; how specifically could we detect this with high-energy accelerators? Maybe one day I'll be buying my kids neutrino telescopes to look up into space... how do these work?

Nature clones humans all the time. Identical twins. The governments policy is quite hypocritical in not declaring twins an abhorrent travesty of nature just because it happens without our intervention, but if we duplicate the same procedure with science, it's wrong. Ok?? Idiot Roman Catholic government.

Windows is NOT crappy for home users. For your average computer users, Linux is utter crap. For developers and IT people, it's a whole other ball game. This is where MS makes its money.

We can keep antimatter much longer. In fact, experiments are under way with the 50,000 atoms of anti-hydrogen CERN produces each year. It seems like bulgaria is about 10 years behind current research

Thie Big Bang didn't occur everywhere, it occured at many points. The WMAP probe didn't find any reason to discredit this either.

Neutrinos do have mass. Massive underground vats of heavy water (H is replaced with deuterium), when a neutrino collides with one (rare, but happens), it emits light that is detected by photosensors lining the vat.
