What a shame there aren't any around today.... I've got to admit that the pressure idea seems more plausible than the idea of multiple hearts

There is no way to prove or disprove any of this Thats why religion is still around If you: A) Disprove religion then everyone abandons it (you would hope) B) Prove religion then it's not a religion anymore as religion requires faith/belief (I don't "believe in the postman, I know he's real because he brings me my post and says "hello" to me) So religion is set up to be impossible to prove either way

Crazy..... If people don't like the rules, why are they here?

Not the most scientific of approaches....

So much for "all your questions professionally answered"....

Show the problem anyway - even if we can't help it may be interesting...

Even better!

The distinction has been made already, when searching for intelligent life you must first find any old life. The steps are there in the equation ne = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets fℓ = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point fi = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life In other words, if you want to find intelligent life you won't find it where there is no life possible. So step 1 is Find the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets Step 2 is Look at the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point (as there is no point looking at the ones that don't) Step 3 is Then look at the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life

I think we may have been caught up in the semantics here (Force/impulse)... What I'm asking is can I use this to measure the impact energy? (whether you choose to call it the "force" of the impact or the "impulse" energy of the impact)

The Drake equation states that: where: N = the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible;and R* = the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy fp = the fraction of those stars that have planets ne = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets fℓ = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point fi = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life fc = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space L = the length of time for which such civilizations release detectable signals into space[3] From wikipedia Doesn't this cover it?

Interesting stuff... It would explain a few things, but what would cause a global drop in atmospheric pressure?

Good call

I've just read this and noticed that people had given negative rep 10 times! Why? There's nothing in this post that warrants negative rep I have given positive rep in order to try to address the balance maybe users under a certain threshold of posts should not be able to give rep?

Once again, and I quote "Tomatoes are a ladder in the fructose of fruitiness" In other words - you are talking rubbish "2029 is the delta change" What?! Or, you could have read his post properly in the first instance

He's not saying Pi = 3 He's saying "If you only take 1 significant number then Pi is 3" If your only taking 1 significant number then my phone number is 0, you can dial it but it won't work. You're dodging now, stop stalling and get to the point. Avoiding valid questions is against forum rules and not conducive to good debate

By this logic it could be argued that an electrician, plumber or mechanic is also a scientist "But then again the art of diagnosis is very much like research. The Plumber gather's initial evidence from the boiler and formulates a hypothesis as to the problem. He then does appropriate diagnostic tests, looks at the results and then decides whether his initial hypothesis is correct or not. Eventually he forumulates a conclusion or diagnosis and then embarks on a treatment regime for the boiler."

In a decent punch you use as much of the bodyweight as possible behind it to increase the force of the impact, so the mass of the projectile will vary depending on technique (each punch will have an unknown quantity of mass behind it) If I were trying to measure the speed of the punch I would need to know the mass involved, but I'm not interested in speed only the force of the impact. "You just measure the mass of the pendulum and how high the pendulum swings." Yes, but there must be a way (knowing the mass of the pendulum) to work out how much force is required to make it swing to a certain height? From this I could them produce a scale: Hieght A = Force X Hieght B = Force Y And so on...

"It seems that all known systems of measure are predicated on the denomination of 100!" You have put it into words, yes. Now put it into words that make sense to the other people here. We are trying very hard to understand what your point is and what you are trying to prove here. From your last post it appears that you have discovered (and got very exited about) the fact that we use a base 10 numerical system

Yeah, definitely don't please I don't want enthusiastic amatuers whipping up viable strains of some horrible bacteria in their garage thanks

For example: Give ME as many numbers as you like and I will give you some numbers and tell you what it "proves" (but not how I got them)

No, mutations happen at the genetic level and may be passed on (if beneficial). As to how aquired traits go to gene level I'm not sure (I'm not even convinced that they do, I mean body-builders don't generate really strong muscley offspring)

The question is broken, unless it tells you the amount of gallons ordered

"your delivery cost is related to amount you order" How? it doesn't say that - it says $0.05 per mile

Everyone knows we're going west.....

selective breeding it is then!
