! Moderator Note We've been over this. Thread closed.

Thank you everyone for your responses. I think we'll close questions sometime on Sunday, after which staff will work on selecting the questions to send through to Prof. Krauss. Once we have that finalized, we'll work on editing and proof-reading in conjunction with whoever authored the questions and then send them on for him to answer.

! Moderator Note sidharath, As of tonight you've made 7 threads on this topic. Please stop spamming the forum with it and respond to thread you've already got.

To the trash you go!

No.

Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Popcorn, Make a new thread on the subject if you wish to discuss it.

Przemyslaw.Gruchala has been suspended for 7 days due to persistent thread hijacking.

Why don't you ask your computer? In all seriousness though, take a look here and check that your notification/email settings are as you want them to be. http://www.scienceforums.net/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=notifications

My mistake, jp255. Blame my tired brain. Anyway, this is where belongs now, so no harm done.

! Moderator Note Then perhaps you should have posted this in Speculations, which is where this is now being moved to.

You almost had me beat. Things I have learned thanks to this thread: dog weddings are way more common than cat weddings and there are far too many pictures of people marrying their pets.

The internet is a wonderful thing.

I take it that this is still your son's assignment?

It's been a while since this thread was updated. We've had a whole bunch of new mod staff added, so belated congratulations to imatfaal and Captain Panic and another congratulations to our brand new staff member, ydoaPs. The beer/wine and cheese nips are on them!

! Moderator Note How about you just do what we ask you to and stop hijacking threads. Seriously, it's getting old. You will get suspended if we have to keep moving posts.

The reason for this is because questions of 'why' are fundamentally useless questions to science. 'Why,' implies some sort of purpose or intention to the way our universe and everything in it manifests itself, which is a purely philosophical notion and not one science concerns itself with. Regardless, reading the rest of your post leads me to believe you've confused the terms. No where in this hypothesis of yours have I seen you address why you think things happen, but rather how you think things happen.

FTR - We will probably help with wording and editing of questions once we have enough to send on. Thank you to all who have responded so far!

Some of you may recall that once upon a time we had the idea of doing interviews with prominent scientists and members of the community (see here). For one reason or another, we seemed to stop after the first one - until now! We have been very fortunate to have Professor Lawrence Krauss agree to do a small Q & A for us. Krauss, for those who aren't aware, is a highly regarded cosmologist and theoretical physicist, professor and director of the Origins project at Arizona State. In addition to his own work, Krauss is also a prominent and outspoken advocate of science and has authored a few bestsellers, namely The Physics of Star Trek and A Universe from Nothing (for more, see here). The way this will work is slightly different to the way the old interviews worked, in that the questions will be asked by you. The purpose of this thread is for members to pose a question or two that they'd like Lawrence to answer. He is a very busy man, so staff will have to pick and choose which of your questions we will forward on to him; we're aiming for about 10. I would strongly recommend those who aren't as familiar with his work and who want participate to take a look at some of his lectures and other talks on YouTube. Here are a few to get you started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcR4XqLlxSA Once we have the questions, I will be forwarding them on to be answered. He has advised that it might take a little bit for him to get around to answering them, but I'm sure no one here will have a problem with that. When he responds, we will post a new thread with his answers and possibly a separate one for discussion. With all that in mind, myself and the rest of staff invite you all to ask your best questions for Prof. Krauss!

The 'u' was being elusive. All fixed.

Well that's nothing like Green Eggs and Ham at all.

Give me a few minutes. We do not want you, dear Popcorn. I swear on my life and my firstborn. Would you like me as your staff? We would not like you as our staff. We would not quite know to cry or laugh. We would not like our choice to mourn. We would not like you, dear Popcorn. Would you want me with new name? Would you want me with all I claim? We would not want you with new name. We would not want you with all you claim. We would not like our choice to mourn. We would not like you, dear Popcorn. That's all I feel like doing. Green Eggs and Ham is much longer than I remembered.
