A different idea may be to create a magnetic field beneath the city and have everyday things doped in a given percentage of metal, cups,boots clothing. foods & drink would have to be accounted for. However g on mars is half of earths, and so wouldn't be like bouncing around on the moon. I would think it would be considerably more controlable. Perhaps diet and the like have been adjusted for life on mars. ex. water being kept in a gelatinus state.

So if one WERE going faster than the speed of light due to a black hole, and thus time DID go backward, then would you back in time until the point you went faster than the speed of light, and back and forth, effectively stuck in one spot in both time and space?

Yes, we definately need more carbon in the atomosphere. Right now we are at an all time low for carbon dioxide. Guess what the plants require! Not to mention the cycle of warm weather is ending according to the ice core readings, we are due for the next Ice age soon. BURN! BURN!

Navajoeverclear; My opinion is that human sexuality is on a kind of slidescale, it is not an either/or condition. Males that exibit female behavior and vice-versa can be seen in a many instances, not solely in sexuality. These variations may be subtle or not, however, like in our political views, society has provided/enforced only two dominant catagories. Though Physicaly we are built with one given sex (with the exception of hermaphrodites) Mentaly we may be built with more variation. It is possible these mental differences are a natural counterbalance to overpopulation, thereby necessitating there exixtance in society. My source is poor, but I seem to remember a pbs/discovery channel special that stated many animals have as high as 10% homosexual members. Furthermore I doubt that all homosexuality is caused by trauma, though it may be a contributing factor for some. Hope this helps

In regards to the big bang: Instead of an explosion which originates from a superdense point of space, could it be possible that two (or more) dense matters collided at super speed, thereby causing the explosion, and explaining the excess energy in space? Would this concept negate the need for a "dark energy"? Also could it be possible that the increased accelleration of the universe could be explained as a collective of matter which has not yet reached its peak velocity after an explosion, and not a factor of "dark energy"?
