Thanks for the link, but none of the sites had this black and white picture I was looking for. I'm not crazy. I know it exist.

Thanks for the response. I was considering the fact that the human body is made of at least 70% water. But, I figured the rest of the mass would be made up of many organic compounds like lipids, nucleotides, amino acids and carbohydrates.

McMaster's even recanted his earlier statements: http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~insrisg/nature/nw02/0325Insect_Flight_Myths.htm

I'm not sure whether this question belongs on a Chemistry forum or a Biology forum. But, their are a lot of molecules that make up our body. Loads of H-O and C-H bonds. There is a certain amount of enthalphy (ΔH°*) for destroying (endothermic) and creating (exothermic) bonds. So what is my queston? This is impossible, of course, but say for some reason, every bond in the human body split into atoms, or radicals, or to but it another way, what if a bunch of atoms spontaneously formed bonds in such a way as to create a perfectly functioning human body: By considering the Bond Energys: http://www.cem.msu.edu/~reusch/OrgPage/bndenrgy.htm What do you think would be the total amount of energy in forming the human body? (It should be the same amount of energy as spliting a human body.) Anyone want to take an educated guess?

Sorry, but I don't have a link to a picture of a Wooly Mammoth. Instead, I'm asking if one of you might know one. I remember seeing, once, in a book or something, a black and white picture of a frozen real Wooly Mammoth. I was wondering if anyone knows of a link to one. Thank you.

I think mab is just asking about the possibility of there being a type of medium BETWEEN the galaxys and stars, etc.

http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/dec97/873755066.As.r.html I think that all, for the most part, all matter is pulled in by the gravity of SOME object, meaning that there really can't be a special kind of medium in space. This medium would have to have a hell of gravitation force of its own to counter the force of the other celestial bodies.

Because we know everything already...right?

...anyone?

Kind of a silly question, but would it ever be possible to create something that would make the the acidic concentration in all of the lysosomes, in an organism, so powerful that they would liquefy that organism from the inside out? Could you genetically engineer something that could do this? It would be a great biological weapon.

We have some slow counters on this forum. I must be the Steve Prefontaine of counting: 1-20 in 2.5 seconds

Still how does this compare to other majors? If you geniunely enjoy what you are doing, I believe you really won't mind the work (and the "low" pay). Why do something that you don't like?

Exactly...I'll take that, thank you very much.

Not necessarily true. Me and a couple of my friends didn't get a 1200 and we still got in to a very good University. I mean, it's no M.I.T. or Carnegie Mellon or Harvard or anything, but University of Pittsburgh is fairly recognized (especially its Medical Score). By the way, I got a 1150 on my SAT's and I don't mind telling people. The SAT are just a indicator of a)what you learned in high school and b) how well you will do your first year of college. Not a indicator of intelligence (though I suppose there is probably some correlation) or how well you will do in college overall. I just love it when I get better grades than my other college classmates, with their over 1300 SAT scores. Either you work hard in college or you don't...

I wish I would have known about this site when I was a high school student...

Here's a visually representation of what is happening: Compliments of: http://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/vchembook/511natgascombust.html

How do they accomplish this? What muscles do they use?

No, they only water.

While we have never actually seen them, we have done experiments to suggest that they exist.

But it IS abnormal to cry when you yawn?
