How small? How do you deal with the intense gamma ray output?

Not my photo shop work but it is cool. Like most power sources where you have to convert on type of energy into another wouldn't creating a black hole take much more energy than you could get out of it?

I hardly have facial hair at all and I have shaved since i was 25, that's 30 years and I still have very little facial hair.

Houston, you have a problem A black hole with the mass of an asteroid would radiate huge amounts of radiation. The radiation would sterilize the earth, the smaller a black hole is the faster it evaporates a tiny black hole would radiate energy mostly in the form of gamma rays.

Antimatter does not have negative mass, therefore the hypothetical antimatter black hole would not have negative mass and would indeed attract a matter black hole.

To quote Jean-Luc Picard, "anything is possible". I always though the implicit idea was that "however, some things are improbable".

Mass is mass, i can see no special problems with a black hole traveling at relativistic speeds

First you have to understand that brane theory is not backed up by evidence. Very little if any evidence really points to strings and branes. But the idea is that when two branes collide all the matter in the two branes is turned back into energy that from the stand point of the brane would be a brane wide big bang. The release of so much energy drives the two branes apart again until their mutual gravitational attraction brings them back together. The visual often used is two sheets hanging on a clothes line. No universe is created or combined, just the new matter in each brane as it condenses again as the brane expands just like the big bang theory proposes. From our stand point our brane is infinite and ever expanding, from the stand point of the multidimensional hyper-verse the two branes are not infinite and maintain the same perspective to each other as finite sheets. Inside the multidimensional universe there are theorized to be other branes of various kinds and types not related to or likely to interact with ours. The idea of colliding branes replaces the idea of a big bang universe that expands and contracts every few hundred billions of years with a static universe that just "explodes" everywhere when the two branes collide. The the expansion is an illusion that is only seen from inside the branes. If this is true the idea of heat death of the universe becomes a non issue, the brane collision might take place in the next instant or next year or 1,000,000,000,000 years from now. For a more accurate view of this theory i suggest you google it, I am sure my rendition is flawed in many ways.

It's cooler and wetter than the average here. Quite a bit cooler and wetter than most Octobers i can remember in the last 40 years.

An intelligent race of dinosaurs was the deciding factor in the total extinction of the dinosaurs. Much like what we're doing now, they had disrupted the ecology and the impacts and lava eruptions just made it more difficult for any dinosaurs to recover! http://web.ukonline.co.uk/michael.magee/awwls/00/wls143.html I know, I know, it's just too good to not at least mention>

I am currently studying paganism, it's amazing how moral these people are even though they reject Christianity. I am currently exploring whether or not they are strongly influenced by the society in which they live or if they are indeed moralistically independent of out side influences. So far they claim to be independent but the similarities are hard to dismiss.

It's my understanding that when branes touch you get a big bang effect. In Multidimensional space all branes are finite even though they look infinite from the perspective of the brane. There is no need for branes to be all inside and out of each other unless they are gravitationally bound. Actually the idea of inside and outside loose meaning when you are talking about multidimensional spaces. I do have a mind exercise I use to visualize multidimensional space. It's totally just my idea and has no bearing on any provable reality but you can read it here. http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=44707

I have read it, that is an accurate depiction of the fate of homosexuals.

Fox News provides a service, it provides bullshit for people who prefer to hear bullshit. Fox News tells Conservatives what they want to hear, it confirms all their horrible fears about Liberals are true and that the world is going to hell in a hand basket due to Liberals and their horrific godless plans to help the poor and impoverished destroy religion and replace it with evolution. People who watch Fox News want to think he world is going to shit, they want to feel like the entire Liberal world is out to get them, they are basically paranoid and need to have this feeling of paranoia confirmed on a regular basis. I am so tired of my Conservative biased spell checker, it's a conspiracy I tell ya!

I have several hobbies I consider intellectual, do you have a definition of an intellectual hobby?

The premise of the OP is extreme exaggeration to begin with. dissolving the shells of living animals would take a pH much under 7 . Shell fish can deposit their shells at pH of much less than 7, less than 5 is not out of the question. The article never mentions the predicted pH and only say sit will be corrosive as acid used to eat scale off a pot or pan pH 3? or less. I'd have to see some real figures to even consider such a thing.

Everyone would be creamed human on the inside of the plane

The ocean has a very long way to go before it becomes acid. Mid ocean water is around 8.3 or 8.4 pH I've kept and bred both marine fish, invertebrates and live coral. pH change is bad when it is fast but a slow change up and down is not harmful. As long as the pH stays around pH 7.6 to 8.6 and all changes are slow i really think this a case of crying wolf. Much coastal waters hover around 7.5 and up and in some places I have personally measured pH of less than 7 due to acidic freshwater run off. I honestly do not see open ocean pH dropping to below 7 any time soon or even below 8. The ocean is buffered, it resists pH changes due to the carbonate buffering. Any change will by this mechanism be slow. For the shells of ocean creatures to be affected the Ph would have to drop considerably below 7

Doesn't UV radiation pretty much insure that all bacteria are killed almost immediately in space? Spreading life via rocks knocked off the Earth or Mars seems possible if improbable but simple bacteria cannot withstand the raw UV light of the sun. then again there is this..... http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/06/02/red.rain/index.html

I don't know about love but I do know that I am only attracted to women who smell right. It has nothing to do with perfume or bathing, it is a very subtle thing but I know the instant I am close enough to smell them.

It's a very difficult thing to describe, spheres with in spheres, connected but not connected, moving and stationary at the same time. No real basis to describe or compare it to anything real. I hoping someone else had experienced it and we could compare notes.

I wish i could understand Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedit's the why that stumps me I guess

Ok, let me tell you the way i have been told it works and you tell me where I'm wrong and maybe I'll understand better. This happens in a universe containing only the two observers. From the stand point of both observers both are traveling at close to the speed of light. The twin who is traveling sees the stationary twin as moving. The staionary twin sees the other as moving. Reletively speaking both see the other as moving. But only the one who is actually moving feels time dilation. Since both points of view are valid what decides which one's time dilation is real. Or maybe how do they tell wich one is moving so that only one experinces time dilation? I am sorry if this is stupid way of looking at it but it's the best I can do.
