lol, me neither but hey, if we all work together, we could probably make a workable design...but the only limit then would be $$$

Whoa...26?! I'd love to know what pupose they serve? Any ideas?

lol, then agian I havnt thought a whole lot in the last week or so, so Im just bored, and desperate for something to do

Like I said, I dont think that something like NASA would accept it yet. And even so, why not, if need be...I'll be that geek. But until there is a feasable design, it doesnt really matter a whole load. Im not suggesting that WE come up with one, but come to think of it, Ive got nothing much better to do, so yea it would be cool for us to design one. I mean why not?

lol, I fully agree. He's one of my favorites, as well as Hawking.

And if it aint fixed, bash it w/ a wrench (spanner???) until it is! YT2095 is definitely deserving of one due to the incredible amount of posts, and the wide range of posts in which they're located. We should make this forum better than all the rest...due to the fact that the majority of us are intelligent, we're deserving of the best. lol

Wow, if you replicate this experiment, let me know how it goes! Looks sweet!

lol,

Oh, Ive heard that platinum was much higher back then (maybe the 70's or 80's, but back then gold was actually about $800/oz too) But can u imagine what would happen if someone were to perfect this process, could you imagine the platinum economy, when everyone and their grandmother will be making their own platinum. But if it is perfected, I would love to be one of the first to use it (CHA-CHING!!! $-$-$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) Anyway, its a cool thought.

I think that with today's technology, it could very well be possible, but any voyage out of the solar system is a little beyond NASA's or pretty much anyone else's hands. Not that Im saying that someone wont do it someday, hell, maybe one (or all) of us can put together an accurate, feasable design THAT WORKS! And when that happens well, I don't know what will become of space as we know it. (by the way, what did they eat on Star Trek? )

Thats true but perhaps with greater technology by then, maybe someone will find another...less primitive...style of taking down an Earth bound asteroid. Then again, if it works, it works!

It really does depend upon the person...I may just be the smartest boy 2 my school, but there are certainly girls that are as intelligent, if not more so than I. (that was uncharacteristically modest of me...) but anyway, it all depends upon the person, and thier will/want to learn.

oooh...sorry...

Well...How did it go?! lol, this was all before I joined so Im left in suspense. lol

Wait, what exactly is Ice 2 /ice 3???

I was just a little curious about why we sleep? I know it is somewhat about re-balancing hormones, but that can't be all. What causes us to feel tired, and what makes us dreams, and what makes seperates deep sleep from dream sleep (if there IS much of a difference)? Anything and everything? Thanks Much!

One more thing that I could suggest is that it might be a pinched or inflamed nerve from abnormal sleeping positions. I know that I sometimes I get numb arms from sleeping in a funny position. So when u fall asleep, because the class is too elementary, just position yourself based around your ergonomics. lol.

Thank you all very much, I appreciate your support. Im always trying to learn new things and this is a big project for everyone (including L.i.d.a Mattman- I put the periods becuase there's an auto-correcting program that runs and it doesn't recognize L.i.d.a as a name- so it just replaces it with Linda) Anyway thanks, I will definitely look into this college and try to get a better understanding of not only my present standing, but also my future goals. When we make another breakthrough I'll alert you Thanks, Alex

Well, dont worry yourself about my prerequisites. I do understand your concern but I havnt yet found a college that will accept any 14 year old. As for my facilities, they are not mine, they are my father's. Much of the credit will be given to my father not only for his credentials, and his labs, but also for his expertise and efforts. I only want just enough credit to catch the attention of a few colleges or at least medical organizations. Thanks, Alex

http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/galaxy_filaments_040607.html By Robert Roy Britt New observations of the center of our Milky Way Galaxy have revealed the origin of radio-emitting filaments that puzzled astronomers for two decades. The filaments range from 10 to 100 light-years in length and 1 to 3 light-years across. They occur only in a very narrow area, within about 900 light-years of the galactic center, a region crowded with old and new stars. A light-year is the distance light travels in a year, about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion kilometers). The Milky Way in its entirety spans more than 100,000 light-years. The filaments emerge from pockets of intense star formation, the new study found. "We can finally see a link between areas of starburst activity and these long-linear filaments," said Farhad Yusef-Zadeh, a Northwestern University astronomer who presented the results last week at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Denver. The center of the Milky Way is dominated by a supermassive black hole, which is surrounded by an intense magnetic field and pockets of rampant star formation. Scientists had theorized that the filaments were related to the magnetic field, because the first filaments spotted were aligned with it. "The problem with this hypothesis is that more recent images have revealed a population of weaker filaments oriented randomly," Yusef-Zadeh said. "This makes it difficult to explain the origin of the filaments by an organized galactic magnetic field." The center of the galaxy is shrouded by dense clouds of dust and gas, making optical observations impossible. So Yusef-Zadeh's team probed the area with radio observatories, the National Science Foundation's Very Large Array and Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope. The researchers found that some filaments seemed to connect to concentrated areas of thermal emission, which in turn identify pockets of star formation. The star-forming regions associated with the filaments may contain 100 massive stars each. The exact mechanism that creates the filaments remains to be discovered. "One possibility is that they are produced by the collision of winds blown off from individual stars," Yusef-Zadeh said. This article is part of SPACE.com's weekly Mystery Monday series.

According to the basic law of conversation of matter, matter is never destroyed nor created, only transferred into its mass of energy. Thus, for this to work, the matter would be transformed into energy, by moving faster than the speed of light. (As our good friend Mr. Einstein knows ) So, if the matter were to be destroyed, can u figure on what would happen? I have pondered on this and have come to a conclusion. As long as the transferrance of matter is instant there would be no effect (other than the almost impossibility of reconstruction). However, if matter were to switch between times or dimensions, by traveling twice the speed of time, the universe would lose matter. This would defy the law of conservation. Now, I feel that since the universe is constantly expanding, a change in its size (getting smaller) could be catastrophic. The loss of a single atom may cause surrounding atoms to take the place of that atom, because there is nothing there (creating a vacuum) and this would ultimately cause the universe to move in (even if less than the size of a single atom) Now here is where I become confused by my own thought. What happens when the Law of conservation of matter and energy is defied and the universe loses matter? Would it simply continue onward? Growing as usual? Or would it collapse as it continued to shrink? I know this is a very bizarre concept, and I may be naive but it was only a random thought that popped into my head. lol

Yes it would be more convincing if they had extracted the essence of life itself. I myself never doubted the existance of "nanobacteria" because there is evidence of it in most every case of disease in which no evidence could be found. (with the exception of borrelia diseases). However, it is obvious to me that they are alive. Though they lack many of the concpets for life itself, they have reproduced and grown into a species they are now. Viruses are also not considered alive but remain concious enough to be programmed to attack certain cells, and carry either(sometimes both) DNA and RNA. So THEY too are alive. sometimes, one must always look beyond the current standards into the outliers and beyond in order to see the truth. lol.

thanks, my search has lead me through many diseases, and my goal is not only to cure MS but to unravel all autoimmune diseases. I grow closer to my goal by the day, but I fear that my labs aren't enough to continue my advanced research. Ive tried to apply for a govt grant but no one takes a 14 year old seriously. lol Oh well, Ill keep at it. Thanks for the advice, Alex
