Exactly... an exceptionally challenging test would still differentiate the best groups...

Anyone who needs a college literature course to know how to spell business is a cretin anyway.

No. Any other provider wouldn't have better GSM coverage. And I must have GSM

There is more evidence for humans having constructed those than aliens.

Build a jar out of antimatter. Voilà.

there many more than 4 dimensions...

Ok, here what I want to: get as much gain as possible (at least 20dB) on a 1900MHz signal. How might I accomplish there? Could I use a type of satellite dish, and more important where could I get it. Where can I get giant antennas with gains like that? Size of the antenna or dish isn't important, but cost is, let's keep it around $150 This is for my cell phone... here in the US it's on GSM1900 band, and since the US is always behind national standards, the coverage sucks. Here in miami, the coverage is excellent, but I frequently travel 50-100 miles from the nearest cell phone tower, so I'm looking to boost the signal by as much as possible with the budget of a college student. ideas?

My exams will be specifically designed to filter out true geniuses from fools who study 24/7...

well actually you could consider the pre-decoupling era of the universe kinda like an aether, of course that was over 13.4 billion years ago.

I'll probably be teaching upper level courses and graduates.

English is completely overvalued. 2 college classes are sufficient. Anything beyond that only teaches you kinds of writing that are specific to careers in english.

The better the program, the harder it is to get into.

The new information will help us learn more about how the universe formed... once we fully understand that, who knows what we'll be able to do.

We've got a great neuroscience program here at UM. It has a first year advising course sequence (for a credit each too) where the first semester we meet as a group with our advisor and find out everything we need to know about requirements and other things, then the second semester we meet with a neuroscience professor to talk about research opportunities. So not only do neuroscience majors here have an very low failure rate, but they go into their second year already knowing some important people well. It's certainly not an easy course of study (10 more credits than normal majors), and you need a 1270SAT to get into it, but it's extremely interesting, and I haven't even gotten to the key courses yet.. neurobiology and cellular and molecular neuroscience... and neuroanatomy... all for undergrads. I'm also double majoring in physics, and we have a great physics program too. My job outlook is great (presuming you like researching). I plan to pursue a MD/PhD program in biophysics or neuroscience, after which i'll have no trouble getting a research position pretty much anywhere i want. It's not very hard to get in here, but we're a private school so it's pretty expensive (tuition+room/board come to over $30000)... thank god for scholarships.

France basically turned its back on a Arab NATO member, cowardice at its highest level.

But you're forgetting, that's evidence that goes against the theory, therefore the results were faked by people trying to supress the theory. Have you forgotten the rules of pseudoscience... :toilet:
-
See the thing you have to realize, the theory must fit the evidence. Your theory is contrary to the evidence, so you proclaim the evidence to be wrong. This is not how science works.

The english language lacks the words to express how profoundly ignorant this jackass is.

Anti-hydrogen doesn't disappear that quickly.

You're a freaking idiot. You're too blinded by your ignorance to possibly consider the fact that basic scientific processes disprove your asinine theory. All my points are scientifically valid and can be looked up in any modern text book and the research from Nature, APS journals, etc. No scientific merit my ass. There's no science in the shit you're ignorantly spewing. Maybe if you tried actually learning the material before taking what little you know and slapping it together in a piss-poor excuse for a GUT, you'd realize the depth of your ignorance. This is why you get kicked off university campuses, not because professors are scared of your BLATANT IDIOCY aka self-professed divine correctness. Your pseudoshit page flagrantly ignores all the little details that I pointed out. You can't address them. You are just another crackpot pseudoscientist with the arrogance and audacity to take your tiny bit of knowledge and through non-scientific processes come up with conspiracy-theorist bullshit you use as a medium to attract attention to your overblown ego that's hell bent on perpetuating pseudointellectualism in direct opposition to the scientific method, the axiom any theory, that you ignore. Shut your mouth you uneducated heathen.

The Wilkinson Microwave Anistropy Probe, launched in June 2001 at a cost of $145 million, looked back to the very beginning of the universe by looking at the cosmic microwave background radiation, the energy which keeps the temperature of a vacuum at 2.725K, just above absolute zero. Temperature changes in the CMB were mapped within 35 millionths of a degree, making the pictures 35 times sharper than COBE, MAP's predecessor. The new findings were measured using very different frequencies: K-Band, Ka-Band, Q-Band, V-Band, and W-Band. Age of the Universe The first frame of the picture on the left of of the cosmic microwave background radiation just 379,000 years after the Big Bang, over 13.7 billion years ago-- the estimated age of the universe, within 0.2 billion years. The Hubble Constant The measured value of the Hubble constant was 71 +4/-3 km/s/Mpc, the most accurate measure ever. This means that the geometry of the universe is flat with adiabatic Gaussian fluctuations on a scale-invariant spectrum. Decoupling and Reionization The age of decoupling was also determined to be 379 +8/-7 thousand years, at a redshift of 1089 +/- 1. The age of decoupling refers to when the universe became transparent. This was the most accurate determination of the age of reionization to date. The determined value is 180 million years. This epoch was when the opaqueness of the universe was broken by the cooling matter being split from hydrogen to a proton and an electron. Matter Condensation Frame 2 shows areas of higher density pulling in matter from areas of lower density, which led to matter condensation. The WMAP indicated that the matter created during the big bang condensed approximately 200 million years after the big bang; much earlier than previously estimated. (Frame 3). Frames 4 and 5 show the formation of stars and galaxies from this condensation. Above: Detailed image of the CMB, combined from all bands. Composition and Fate of the Universe The question of dark matter and dark energy has also been answered. The WMAP indicated that the universe has the following composition: dark energy 73%, dark matter 23%, atoms 4%. That 4% makes up all the stars and planets, and us. The dark energy is the force that overcomes gravity to keep the universe expanding. The 73% density of dark energy means that the universe will keep expanding forever, eventually resulting in a heat death. "Not with a bang, but with a whimper" The data about dark energy provides some vindication for what Einstein called the greatest blunder of his career- the cosmological constant. It now appears as though the dark energy is what the cosmological constant referred to, although quintessence is another possible role of it. Neutrinos, though present, did not significantly interact with matter as to influence the early development of matter.
