From any sort of scientific point of view we are animals. If you want to get into stuff about sentience, intelligence, technology, emotions etc etc, thats a philosophical way of looking at things.

Genes can't play such a large role in obesity, since where the hell did these genes come from to now affect such a large portion of the population? Its mostly diet and lack of excersise.

The trains would all be going slower than c. They would not reach c in any refference frame.

And yes, I'm reffering to the "fork in the socket" option here, thanks for the responses.

Yeah I thought it would blow a fuse. Ok thanks, questions answered.

I hope this isn't too stupid, but I have to learn somehow. What would happen if you ran a house current back into the house? When you plug in an appliance, current flows through the appliance (like a light bulb) and back into the outlet. What happens if you remove the appliance/resitor from that circuit (keeping the circuit itself intact)? Will current flow? Will it start a fire? Etc.

How would one charge a homemade capacitor? Does one simply run a current throught it, does the time connected matter?

It is not known if the universe is infinite in extent or not.

A ranting guy on the street told me he was from mars the other day. Dont see any reason not to believe him I guess.

Then its a fake. Its impossible to make a perpetual motion machine, some energy is always lost, namely to friction.

Well it's the mathmatical result. We havn't observed it directly, but when an object collapses into a black hole the Schwarzchild radius of that object becomes the event horizon, its the point beyond which the equations tell us that light (nor anything else) would be able to escape the gravitational pull. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole#The_event_horizon How I love wikipedia.

I'm having trouble visualizing what you're talking about here, is there a pic you could link to?

Please pay basic attention to spelling, grammar and punctuation. A post that looks like it was written by a 12 year old is irritating to reply to.

No natural mass (actually, nothing known, and nothing theorized that I know of) can make gravity push instead of pull. Either it was written in an odd way that you just didn't get it, or your source is incorrect. Anti-gravity is totally unknown (although I'd like someone to prove me wrong on this, it would be neat even to just have the inklings of a theory)

No. A black hole can be formed after a supernova has occured, but otherwise that is the only way they are linked.

Yeah. If the big bang started as a singularity then we cannot know anything about the possible universe before that time with current theories. So sure there may have been time, but there is nothing to apply it to, since pre-big bang is just a huge question mark. I'd say that the big bang was the begining of "our" universe, leaving open the possibilty for others before/after/simultaneosly. This is given current theoretical descriptions of course.

Yup.

Why would the tall building be on the moon?

A large change in the moons orbit could affect earths orbit. Depends on what you mean by drastically though, since we are talking about very large scales here. If the moon was totally ejected from orbit around the earth I'd think that the earths orbit would be severely affected by that. And its actually pretty difficult for a planet to fall quickly into the sun. Even a large orbital decay would take thousands of years for earth to hit the sun. If the earth was in such a state, the amount of energy required to correct our orbit would mind booggling, I dont know if changing the moon's orbit would be enough to correct it.
