Can There Be More Than One Universe?

Our universe is so big and we haven't explored even a millionth of a millionth of .......... part of it. We have not gone anywhere outside our own solar system. Yet some scientists, in which there is greatest among the greats Sir Einstien also, believe that there is more than one universe in which we can go by passing through a worm hole. It is quite an intriguing topic and once you start studying about it you go more and more deep into it.The logic behind this is, "[i]though there ar

Do You Want To Know When You'll Be Dead?

So..If you had the chance to knew when and how you would die, would you take it or just leave it and find out by yourself.Also, if you found out, you can't change it. For example, if you die by a bullet in a war, you can't stop it by not going at the war..I really would want to know when i would die, young or old. Just to know, so if i die young, i'll do the most against the law things, and if i die old, i would study much, would find a good job, familly etc...So.. Do you want to kno

Birds And Other Species Dying Around The Globe

Hello to all people around the forums, did you hear the news that large numbers of animals are dying around the globe? In states, in sweeden, in italy and other countries too! I've been investigating a little and for a few places where this things are happening it seems to be a connection with Monsanto laboratories and chemical warfare laboratories.

Big Bang For Beginners

Chaos... Does It Really Exist

Do you believe in the notion that there is a part of the universe that is not controlled, by.... something? Chaos, utter and complete chaos? I believe Chaos does not exist. I can throw you some examples or why I believe that. 1) If chaos truly existed, would planets have formed into spheres? I mean a sphere has got to be the least favorite shape of chaos, because it is the easiest one to make. It's the path of least resistance. 2) Could chaos also create symmetry? I don't think so. Lo

What You Think Defines An Organism?

So, me, anwiii and Nameless_ had a small discussion the other day. There was a short moment we were discussing about definitions, and defining life and organism came up. Basically the biological definition for an organism is a living system which means that it responses to stimuli, has self-sustaining biological processes and is capable of reproduction and growth. What do you think? Is there anything else? If you had a definition of your own, what was it? If someone builds a robot that fills a

Black Holes In Question

What is the shape of a black hole? Is it a hole, or a sphere, or a funnel? Personally I don't think they are real at all. I think they are a fabrication to explain unexplainable happenings. Or a filler theory, to complete and uncomplete circle. For instance, a black hole was supposedly so strong nothing could escape it's grip, now some say they are particles that can escape, and that explains why they are real.

The Global Warming Scam

Nuclear Energy & Weapons

I do not think that we should use nuclear weapons or even energy and I'll explain why. Firstly, we are going to run out of oil soon. Nuclear energy simply has to be part of the post oil mix, I accept that, but I hope that it is not part of the long term solution. Secondly, I feel the technology differential between nuclear energy and nuclear weapons is too small, and a world in which all countries use nuclear energy, but none have nuclear weapons is a very dangerous one in my opinion.

Creatures Of The Abyss

I find deep sea creatures fascinating. For some reason their evolution has lead them to the deepest parts of the ocean. They survive on very little oxygen, cold temperatures, little amounts of light and under very high water pressure. They live in depths ranging from about 200 meters to 6500 meters. (Beyond 1000 meters deep is a total absence of light) Some may have Photophore's all over their body and their bodies light up to catch prey, or to help the creature survive in some other way. P

Animal Orientation Behavior

There are two main types of animal orientation behavior, that is, animal movement caused by sensory input. The first of these is taxis, which is when an animal moves directionally in response to a stimulus. For example, a female tick has a photosensitive body surface. When she senses light, she moves to the end of a branch or twig to wait for a mammal to feed off of. This movement toward the light can be considered taxis. The second type of orientation behavior is kinesis. In kinesis, the

The Midlife Crisis Is A Myth—sort Of

[quote]Many believe that men go through a midlife crisis when they are in middle age. Not quite. Many middle-aged men do go through midlife crises, but it's not because they are middle-aged.

From the evolutionary psychological perspective, a man's midlife crisis is precipitated by his wife's imminent menopause and end of her reproductive career, and thus his renewed need to attract younger women.

The Great Global Warming Swindle

Why Are All Girls Born As Virgins?

Okay... that might be a weird topic, but I am quite unsure about that matter.

E. g. If there's a great flood - hawks and other birds would have to learn how to swim in order to find food and rest to survive. Or, if

Dissolved Oxygen And The Enviornment

Dissolved oxygen is the amount of oxygen contained in water. The oxygen gets into the water by photosynthesis or by the mixing of air with water. Plants and animals use the oxygen in water for respiration, and aerobic bacteria use it for decomposing. Water can hold different amounts of oxygen, depending on several different factors. More oxygen can be held in water of lower temperature than in warmer water, water with a lower salinity level, and water in areas of higher air pressure. Low le

This is a genetic upgrading. I will try to discuss it as easy as possible, so that people without having knowledge o

Mathematical Proof

In math, a proof is basically just that, proof that something is true. Proofs must be rigid, they cannot be based on assumptions. For example, just because we keep finding bigger and bigger prime numbers, it does not mean there are infinitely many. However, there is a proof for that. First, assume that there is, in fact, a largest prime number. Call it "P." That is, there is no prime that is greater than P. (It's OK to assume things like this in a proof sometimes; for exampl
