Photons are particles of the electromagnetic spectrum that transmit its influence I guess you could say. They aren't electrons...maybe you are thinking about positrons which are antimatter versions of electrons which have a positive charge instead of a negative charge. Anyway...since visible light is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum we can't always see the photons... When you think about the electromagnetic spectrum it's the wave explaination that is used to show that different wave frequencies produce different parts of the spectrum. Uranium gives off alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. The alpha particles are a helium nucleus that travels at about 5-7% the speed of light. The beta particles are electrons traveling at about 90% the speed of light. Gamma rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum (very high frequency)...so photons are there. Atoms can give off photons when it's electrons jump from a high energy state to a lower one...this is how fluorescence works. I don't know about a website but there is a great book that deals with a lot of these kinds of things...it's called the Elegant Universe by Brian Greene. I haven't read it in a while but it talks about particles, einsteins theories, Quantum mechanics, and then goes into string theory. It's a good book and is just about the easiest to understand...although some of the stuff in there will really get you mind and imagination working...just because that is how the Universe is.

I forgot this site too. http://www.freemuslims.org/ A good one. I don't agree with a few things they say...but at least they don't support terrorism. and here is an article about Walid Shoebat from the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/middle_east/3430077.stm

There is no Israeli terrorism sponsored by the state. There are Jewish terrorist groups...and there are some Jews who do not want to give land to the Palestinians and will go build settlements in the West Bank and Gaza. I don't agree with the socialist imperialism theory that you seem to hold as truth. That always seems to be the source of every problem to you socialists. Every problem in the world is because of money or imperialism. It’s a one size fits all view that you always try to shove everything into. Secondly I don't believe one thing a government run by a terrorist group says. They over inflate the numbers and always say that children we killed. One Palestinian music video shows Jewish soldiers sniping kids for the heck of it...I don't believe it for a second. Anther favorite of mine is the belief that Jews kidnap Arab children and kill them for their blood to be used in their religious practices. How about that Jews are descendants of pigs and apes? How about the belief that the holocaust was faked by the Jews to get the western world behind them to form the state of Israel? How about the idea that all Jews have type AB blood and all Arabs have type O therefore the Jews are takers and the Arabs are givers. I could go on for paragraphs. Israel began basically by Jews who started immigrating there in the 1880s. They bought the land from wealthy Arab land owners who sold them the land highly overpriced and didn't really care about it because it was a wasteland. There were few people living in the area when the Jews started coming back if I remember correctly it was somewhere around 150,000 . The Jews made the land fertile again and many Arabs started immigrating there for jobs and to live with the Jews in the prosperity they just created...and partly because they didn't want the Jews there. Great Britain helped the Arabs fight against turkey to get their land out of the hands of the Ottoman Empire. In return Britain was allowed to have a say in what happened to the land. They decided to create two states...trans Jordan (Arab) and Jewish Palestine (Jewish). When it came time to do this the British put an anti-Semite in charge that basically screwed over the Jews. There were also the beginnings of terrorist attacks against the Jews and Islamic anti-Semitism was beginning to spread partly due to the leaders of the Islamic countries surrounding the area like the Prince of Iraq at the time. During WWII the grand Mufti of Jerusalem allied himself with Hitler because they both wanted the same thing and there were if I remember some where around 8 or 10 muslim SS divisions in the Nazi armies. Eventually after WWII the UN decided to take away more of the land promised to Jews by Britain giving the "Palestinians" Gaza and the West Bank and making Jerusalem international. Eventually Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, ect. Started massing their armies on the borders of Israel and began to make threats. Eventually Israel attacked to get the upper hand. The Arab leaders told those Arabs in Gaza and the West bank to leave for their safety and that the Jews would be destroyed in a short time and they would then be allowed to go back. Israel won the war in a short time taking the Sinai pen. from Egypt ect...which they gave back. The Jews are willing to give back Gaza and the West Bank and most support a Palestinian state. I believe that there are many that want peace on both sides...and there are those who do not. I don't believe that HAMAS, Hezbollah, or the PLO want peace. They are the ones controlling the minds of the children there. They control the media, they control the money, and they control just about everything They are the ones who put their children in front of Israeli soldiers and incite violence so the children will die and they can say that 20 children were killed by the Jews. Have you ever heard an 8 year old screaming about how much he hates the Jews and that he prays to Allah that he will bring him death killing the Jews? I just don't see anything in the Jews like this at all (accept for the small minority that I mentioned before...and these terrorist groups are illegal and they are dealt with by the Jews). I don't see them wishing to exterminate the Arabs off the face of the earth. I don't see anything terroristic about defending themselves from the hate and violence that is thrown at them evey day. I think it's safe to say that our opinions about this are very much the opposite!!!

I just think that Kerry can't say what he really believes or he would lose big time...so he is trying to find what he thinks will give him the best chance to win.

What I'm saying is that the Palistinians don't want to live in peace. How can Israel and the Jews live with people who believe that they are dogs, the lowest form of life on the planet. What would you do? Just let them kill your family and friends? If you are an Israeli soldier being attacked by an angry mob of Palistinians who want to kill you and rip your body apart...what would you do? Hold your fire? If there are teenage kids blowing themselves up on buses to kill you just because of who you are are you just going to sit back? Israel has tried many times for peace. I just don't see any way to stop the violence when Palistinian children are taught hate and that killing is a great honor. The Jews are willing to give the land back that they took when they were attacked by just about every country in the Middle East. What are the Palistinians going to do with that land? Are they going to live in peace and embrace the Jews? What are the children (who are being exposed to all of this violence and hate) going to do...have a sudden change of heart? How can you wage peace with people who hate you more than they love life? How do you show love to someone who will just see it as a way to get an advantage over you and then stab you in the back? I'd be really happy if Palistinians had a state and could better their lives and live in peace with the Jews and help eachother out. I don't believe they want that. They want all of the Jews to die.

Your post proves nothing. If I have to agree with you to be open minded then I guess I'm not. The Palistinians teach their children to kill and to hate the Jews, they teach violence. The evidnece is right in plain sight. If that means that there are more palistinians that die than Jews then so be it. The palistinians will reap what they sow...when they glorify death and violence they get death in return. Israel has tried many times to give land to the Palistinians...what happens? They are hit even harder by terrorists. Every time there is a ceasefire the terrorists attack and then say it was the Jews who started fighting again. We give billions to Egypt who sends some of the money to Palistine through underground tunnels...and they use it to fund terrorist operations. You get no aid food or money unless you support terrorists.

I watched the debates. I thought Cheney won...but the whole debate was boring...I almost fell aspleep a few times. I find the idea that the US and Israel are comitting attrocities against Palistine one of the funniest things I've heard so far. The palistinians teach their children hatred of Jews from the begining, they teach their children that killing Jews is the duty of every Muslim, they teach their children that dying for Allah (Shahid) is the greatest thing for a Muslim to do. Everything from TV, Music Videos, Art, Movies, Religious studies, Social Studies is about Jew Hatred. I don't see anything wrong with what Israel is doing...they are protecting themselves from extermination. http://www.pmw.org.il/ http://www.memri.org/index.html http://www.shoebat.com/media/palestinians_journey_small.mov Read listen and be educated. I also suggest finding a copy of Jihad in America. It's a PBS documentary about terrorism in the US...produced after the first world trade center attack and shows the depth of the problem.

I agree with the last part...There was no univese and no laws taht govern anything before the big bang...and we are talking about an infinately small point. The laws of classical physics and chemistry don't apply here. A singularity is a point where space and time are infinately curved due to an infininite density. We don't know much about before the big bang...which is why we are working to find out how gravity works at a quantum level. I just want to know where this info about a singulatiry not moving comes from...and why is it that important?...and how do you know when no one else knows anything about the singularity before the big bang? I still don't understand the atoms are moving so that explains why galaxies are moving...ect...explain this a bit better... We say that the universe is expanding because the galaxies are generally moving away from eachother...and if you go back in time they come together and approach what we call the singularity. Remember we aren't just talking about matter expanding but space and time. Imagine a cup that starts at a single point at the bottom and as you move up toward the top of the cup it becomes larger in diameter...almost like a funnel...and this is space and time...not just "moving atoms".

There are more terrorist groups than Al-Qaida and Bin Laden. Islamic Jihad, Hizbolla, Hamas, The army of the Black Flag, Tawhid and Jihad, Ansar Al Sunnah, Ansar Al Islam (which was headed by Abu Musab Al Zarqawi who is part of Al Quadea). I don't understand the idea that if we catch Bin Laden that the terrorists will stop. I'm guessing that it will cause many in the Middle East to start fighting against us since they see Bin Laden as a hero for attacking the US. We are fighting against Islam (which is/has become an arrogant, ignorant and violent religion)...that's what the terrorists think but we are too politically correct to come to our senses. If you don't believe it here are some quotes from them: "Jihad and the rifle alone. NO negotiations, NO conferences and NO dialogue." --Sheikh Abdullah Azzam, Join The Caravan "In reality Islam is a revolutionary ideology and programme which seeks to alter the social order of the whole world and rebuild it in conformity with its own tenets and ideals. 'Muslim' is the title of that International Revolutionary Party organized by Islam to carry into effect its revolutionary programme. And 'Jihad' refers to that revolutionary struggle and utmost exertion which the Islamic Party brings into play to acheive this objective." --Sayeed Abdul A'la Maududi, Jihad in Islam p8 "Whoever says that Islam is free from terrorism or wants to differentiate between Islam and terrorism is committing Al Juhoud and that is Kufr Akbar – and will take them out of the fold of Islam. The one who says ‘we should fight against terrorism’, he is fighting against Islam. We know very well that USA meant no one else by the term ‘terrorists’ but Islam and Muslims and the one who wants to avoid terrorism is avoiding Islam." -- Al Muhajiroun (Bakir School of Thought) 6-21-2004 "Since lawful warfare is essentially Jihad and since its aim is that religion is entirely for Allah and the word of Allah is uppermost, therefore, according to all Muslims, those who stand in the way of this aim must be fought." --Sheikh Ahmad ibn Taymiyyah, The Religious and Moral Doctrin of Jihad, p28 "And you will not find any organization past or present, religious or non-relgious as regards ordering the whole nation to march forth and mobilize all of them into active military service as a single row for Jihad in Allah's Cause so as to make superior the Word of Allah (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), as you will find in the Islamic Religion and its teachings." --Sheikh Abdullah bin Muhammad Humaid, Jihad in the Quran & Sunnah, p29 We need to help truly moderate muslims reform their religion worldwide or this will never end. We take out Al Qadia and Bin Laden there will be another group of brainwashed muslims to take its place. The last time I checked Iraq is right in the middle of the Middle East...that's where radical Islam is coming from...hmmmmmm...we are waisting our time there how Maybe you should try to go over to Afghanistan and Pakistan and search for him yourself. We have special forces over there now looking for him...the mountains are very tough to navigate through or find anyone in...plus Bin Laden has been in Pakistan guarded by the border tribes there...the Pakistani army is helping him with medical treatment for his kidneys...are we going to invade Pakistan? Others say that Bin Laden has been in Iran... As for John Kerry I heard him say during the debates that we should give Iran nuclear fuel to see what they do with it and then put santions on them if they use it for non nuclear energy activities (although there have been sanctions on Iran since Carter...but who cares about the facts?). This sounds a lot like what Clinton did with North Korea...and now they have nuclear weapons. Appeasment is not going to work with these people.

Here is part of the statement that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi read before the beheading of Eugene Armstrong: "Now, you have people who love death just like you love life. Killing for the sake of God is their best wish, getting to your soldiers and allies are their happiest moments, and cutting the heads of the criminal infidels is implementing the orders of our lord,...Oh, you Christian dog Bush, stop your arrogance." Its a religious motivation...the only sure way to heaven in Islam is to kill non-muslims and/or die fighting Jihad. I believe the main motivation of Islamic terrorists is fear...fear of an uncertain future...fear of hellfire. Hellfire and a painfull doom is basically all the Qur'an talks about. I don't know if there is some kind of antisocial problems or even psychosexual disorders among some of these people. I think there are a lot of sadist aspects to their behavior...maybe it is sexual. Zarqawi was a highschool drop out, alcoholic, was arrested for sexual assault in Jordan, he enjoys tying up and humiliating his victims (ie the latest video with a british hostage in a cage), his form of killing is personal (not like shooting), he admits that he gets pleasure from pain suffering and death, he likes to taunt the authorities...he sounds like psychosexual sadist to me. I don't really know much about psychology though...I'm taking general right now...but I did have to read about profiling for my criminal justice classes. We will never know unless we can get people to do psychological interviews with terrorists...which won't ever happen. Anyone here know much about profiling?

The cornea of the eye dries out after death becoming a milky or hazy color about 8-10 hours after death. Maybe thats why brown eyes may look more bluish in color. Postmortem changes to the eyes are a very good indicator of death along with the milky color, the responsiveness to light, touch and pressure are also a good indicator of death.

That sounds about right...Its funny how science set out to unifiy all of the forces of the universe but comes up with 6 new theories that need to be unified now.

Einstien's theories showed the existance of black holes before we actually observed them. So the same could be said for string theory...but the problem is trying to see something that is 100 billion billion times smaller than an atom. I thought the idea of dark matter came about when someone was observing a star and noticed that it's light was being bent like there was a large unseen object that came into the field of view...and also the fact that there isn't enough matter in the universe to explain expansion/contraction of the universe. There are some good books out there about string theory/TOE that are easy to understand like "the Elegant Universe (also on DVD from PBS very very good!), Beyond Einstein, The Universe in a Nutshell (covers a lot of stuff). Quarks are part of modern physics (the feel the strong force which holds the atoms together)...elementary particle physics which is kind of at war with string theory since particle physics has been able to unify all of the forces in the universe accept for gravity. String theory basically unifies quantum mechanics and the theories of relativity (this quest started to help explain black holes...very small and very dense...but neither theory could be used to explain the world of the other) String thoery "smoothes out" space/time at super small scales...which was the problem relativity had at small scales...things didn't make sense. There are 5 string theories and one called 11-dimensional super gravity...M-theory is believed to be the theory that all of these describe...it's kind of the unification theory of string theory.
