I haven't met anyone who opposes the war who fully understands the deception and failure to cooperate Iraq continues to display.

It was done by post mortem locating of tracers in the blood. This method is superior to all other forms of measuring brain activity. fMRI certainly can't compete.

It will still be moving at c.

Well, you're wrong. Most powerful does not mean most dangerous.

He'll be back in a week, and he can still view everything.

There's UN weapons inspectors in the UK?

That makes no sense whatsoever.

ignorance... just because we have the most advanced weapons does'nt mean other countries aren't more apt to cause more destruction than us

Actually they did kill the monkeys to map where the tracers went.

Perceiving color is a feat generally taken for granted, but now scientists have begun to identify what part of our brain is responsible for this amazing feat. Publishing in the January 30th, 2003 issue of the British journal Nature, University of Texas-Houston Medical School researcher Youping Xiao and colleagues report on the organization of cells in the brain that respond to color. The experiment was carried out using macaque monkeys, whose blood flow to various areas of the brain was monitors while they were shown colors by using tracers injected into their system. The neurons were part of what are called cytochrome oxidase stripes. Multiple trials were conducted spaced several hours apart, in order to show the reliability of the results. Previous experiments have been done that identified the neurons involved, but this experiment was the first to elucidate the spatial organization. The activity in response to color takes place in cortical area V2. There are a variety of types of neurons, each of which responds to a very specific hue. These neurons form bands for each color, and these are next to the bands for other colors each between 0.07mm and .32mm- violet, blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange, red, etc. This provides a color map, which, by the activity in each area, the peak is responsible for the color that you perceive. They discovered this as each area was activated in succession as the monkeys were shown the different colors. The order of the colors corresponds to their order in the DIN color system. While the study was carried out in macaques, the researchers believe that the model for color perception in humans would be very similar. The results of this experiment are quite significant. If prosthetic devices were made to stimulate the same areas of the brain, color vision could be restored to the blind. Currently, prosthetic visual systems that stimulate the brain directly are only capable of displaying monochrome outlines, so this experiment provides a glimpse of what the future of curing blindness will be.

Well as current understanding goes matter can't travel faster than light, which is the escape velocity of a black hole. Hence why I said right near the event horizon, where the escape velocity is still less than c.

And we now have a dedicated forum for politics =)

America is really the worlds only super power... regardless of intelligence, since I'll admit we're not at the top of that list

language please...

I believe the vast majority of UFO sightings are more than likely government aircraft; but we can't prove aliens aren't visiting us, we can only state there is a lack of evidence suggesting it.

I believe travelling into the future can be accomplished through extremely powerful gravitational fields causing time dilation; i.e. if you were extremely close to the event horizon of a black hole, stayed there for a few years, and had the power to escape it, hundreds to thousands of years will have elapsed for the rest of the universe. Similarly, near-light travel would have the same effect.

brilliant!

And the more countries that have them, the more chance of terrorists getting ahold of one. Especially with unstable states. This is why all the countries that have them don't want more nations developing them.

I believe the current figures if we applied all our resources that we could teraform Mars to a habitable environment in about 100 years...

I completely agree. But as to the technology... Say the kind of technology needed for travelling several Mpc was a billion years away from what we have. Well, the universe is at least 15 billion years old, and life on our planet has only existed 6 billion years... so it's perfectly reasonable to consider that there's probably a planet with life that got started a billion years before us.

Why is this in general chemistry? Moved.

Yeah I don't think they should either.

Wrong.

So are most of the other nuclear countries. Just not the unstable ones.
