We know that global warming affects the weather and the earth's natural resources, but I need to know how it affects the health of people and animals around the world?

Hello everyone, I'm a Physics teacher in a secondary school and I'm doing a little research into why the number of females in Physics A level classes and undergraduate courses (only about 20%) is so low. If I could please take 5-10 minutes of your time by asking you to fill out this survey: https://www.quicksurveys.com/s/c6J3EnS I also encourage you to pass the link around to anyone you think may be interested in giving their opinions. It is anonymous and open to everyone, I just ask for your honest opinions. At this stage I will likely put out a second survey informed by the responses to this one, so if you'd like to suggest pertinent questions t…

My general idea is simple! Is it not possible that Intelligent design, that is the creation of life by intelligent means ( I have no idea what it is or could be, the possibilities are endless and mind boggling ) could incorporate evolutionary process. In other words life was created and meant to evolve and form on its own. While i already understand that intelligent design theory has not been able to produce lab results, I also know that mathematics is a very real thing, and Intelligent Design theory definitly has the mathmatical evidence. I also know that Evolution leaves behind some very real evidence, and i believe it happens every day. Science today has …

I want to see what you think about reckoning the reason why people 'illogically' oppose modern scientific advancement (besides tradition and what their parents brought them up to believe). So lets ignore for here the matter of ignorance, because there are many non-ignorant people who support creationism. (though those who do so out of ignorace, admitedly outnumber them) Here is the popular view: The big bang came, the universe worked itself out and on some planets extremely complex fine chemical reactions creat life and evolution. Why people do not want to believe this: first, it appears to mean there is no God involved in our creation, there is no after life (well no…

im not sure what topic this goes in so i put it here. so a few work mate were discussing something. id like some input. the world we live in, throughout all of history, has been dominated by men. even from hunter gatherer days until now, in every society, men were calling the shots and woman were put in the "seen but not heard" category. so what if we lived in a world where that was reversed. if the men were "seen but not heard" and woman where in charge and calling all the shots, what would be different. so our discussion was that , i think in the woman world, there is much less chance of things like going to the moon, inventing airplanes…

I have always been easily distracted when doing my yard work. Stopping to to watch a spider or ant, birds or squirrels or any critter that catches my eye or even ear, as it was with the two frogs that were croaking from my brush pile yesterday. We played "Marco" . . . "Polo" for 15 minutes, never did see either one of them. A mystery that I indulge in every fall takes place in the gravel area in front of my home shop. I noticed 10 or so years ago that the needles from a nearby pine tree, that have been distributed over the area, eventually will begin to cluster into piles. It can get rather windy here so the supply of these needles stays pretty consistent in the fal…

What aspects of the natural world are there that we cannot explain scientifically? What dont humans know?

This is an interesting but, ultimately, fairly meaningless question. (Also, it isn't obviously related to the original point about English being "most rational, and sophisticated") The problem is, mainly, how do you define a word. Do you count inflections as separate words: e.g are "dog" and "dogs" one word or two. What about different meanings: "dog" the animal versus the verb "to dog"; and what about all the different meanings of that verb. And then the conjugations of the verb (dog, dogs, dogged, dogging, etc). Is a hyphenated term one word or two (or more). If you decide that the forms of a verb are separate words, then what about languages that have more co…

Hello everyone and everybody! Some string instruments have parts, notably a fingerboard, commonly made of ebony: some Diospyros species, sometimes a Dalbergia species Fingerboard , Ebony , Diospyros , Dalbergia on wikipedia Ebony has drawbacks: the trade and travel of many Diospyros and Dalbergia species is restricted, even as components of an instrument; it takes many years to dry before processing; and it's expensive. Replacements were proposed, including hard rubber "ebonite", which has only 1/10th the stiffness of ebony and maybe not the resistence to abrasion. My suggestion is a polymer loaded with short graphite fibres with random orientation. Th…

ever wondered HOW they get the stuff into spray cans? does it seems a waste to have to throw one away when it`s empty? ever wanted to have your OWN product in spray form? Here`s How!.... take an "Empty" used Can. hold your finger down on the nozzel for for a while, make sure there`s no gas anymore coming out. boil some water and put it in a bowl big enough to sink the empty can into. put the can into it, every 30 seconds or so, press down the nozzel to rlealse more gas ( the ideal is a pan of boiling water on the stove) when no more gas will come out, remove the Can from the boiling water. allow it to cool, and put it in the fridge for 20 mins,,, you n…

Not exactly sure where this should go, feel free to move it. I'm starting to think that we human beings are from another planet. Sure there's no proof, but it could explain why all 'UFO' and 'alien' sightings are top secret classified documents. Anyway, here's my reasoning: First off, what are the odds that a species evolved, or was created, that completely threw off the natural balance in the world? Before humans, creatures hunted only for food, and hunted only the weak, old, and sick. Before humans, forests kept the world nice and clean (now many of us can barely breathe without coughing, who knows how the animals feel?) Next, we seem to be deevolving. The f…

Is life ALL negative and positive? For example, does everything have an anti- to it? I was just thinking about it cause there is antimatter, anti bubbles, negatives in photos, so is it possible?

The system of notes is based on the fact that a certain frequency is taken, and in the next octave the same frequency, a multiple of two, is considered the same note. However, if we took a different multiplication, the notes would be in different frequencies. This means that objectively the notes are just a convention. Why, then, is it claimed that notes can be heard and distinguished from birth?

I'm asking for a measure, in your subjective opinion: on a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being "steely cold but strongly unified", 10 being "warm with plenty of room for dissent," how would you describe the scientific community?

since the penis is made for vagina and not the rectum i wonder if homosexuality is unnatural putting aside ethics or freedom and rights of such gays, is it an unnatural act and mentality for homosexuality , man erotic over man, woman erotic over woman one may say there is acts of such in the wild, but does it matter? that may also be unnatural also

I don't subscribe to modern science. Here's why: That genuine science began as a branch of ancient philosophy. Modern science disowns it's ancestry for the sake of modern commercial interests, primarily institutions descending from mass manufactures. So this thread concerns the science I subscribe to, that being ancient science. That being said, I noticed today in my natural observations, some moss growing along the railroad as I was doing my daily winter rounds for next year's crop. And I remembered how moss will grow without soil and actually manufacture it. I remembered how vivid green it grows even sometimes on manmade concrete. I remembered that modern…

Do you agree with the physicist Brian Greene? I also heard this reasoning from Michio Kaku. I strongly disagree. They reason that we would be no more interesting to an ETI than an ant hill is of interest to us. There are lots of ant hills on Earth, but we don't know how many Earths there are in the galaxy, or more importantly within 1,000 light years of us. So far, Earth is very unusual and would be of great interest to any ET. The Rare Earth Hypothesis explains the Fermi Paradox, and also why we would be of great interest to ANYONE more advanced to us. Kepler Mission has NOT found many Earth 2.0s out there. Neither has the TESS (transiting exoplanet survey satel…

WE SHOULD NOT TACKLE THE ENERGY PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS EASY. WE SHOULD TACKLE IT BECAUSE IT IS HARD. President John F. Kennedy said something similar about man's going to the moon.

would it be possible to spray liquid nitrogen out of a weed killer kind of back back ?? ad is liquid nitrogen hard to get and is it expensive???

I guess this is more of a philosophical thought than it is a scientific thought, but its something I was discussing with an inferior mind earlier today.. Lets say we have a machine that reads all the atoms of a person, sends the information over some sort of medium where a machine on the other side reconstructs the atoms with the "blueprint" that came over the line.. Lets also assume that the machine that sent the data deconstructs the original atoms and stores them for later use (another teleportation or something). Two questions: Is this teleportation? Why or why not.. Is the "teleported" person the same person as the original? Why or why not. I argu…

The title says it !!! What is your opinion ?

The critical issue everyone seems to miss is that the meaning of the phrase "without making presumptions". Apparently it is something no one on this forum seems to comprehend. I am opening this thread because it seems that responses to my earlier post, "Understanding Reality", have totally degenerated to into silly meaningless garbage without any sign of thought at all. If no one here is capable of comprehending what I am saying I will stop posting my thoughts. Please consider the following facts very carefully! Coming up with an explanation of anything requires comprehension of a language first. If there are readers who believe that is not a fac…

What is the conceptual difference between Chemistry and Physics?

The pension must be prohibited the way they are today.The pension model is socialist.The pension insurance is collecting in funds which invested the money in companies and the risk is distributed among all who paid this insurance.The people must not paid pension insurance but the money they receive they must to invest at their own risk.In this way public companies will be motivated to earn more profit.Not having such insurance people will be much interested where to invest their money whether In stocks,bonds or land to became a farmer after years.Now people with this pension system are irresponsible.They are so irresponsible so that they do not want to have even children…

What's usually the major difference? Could cheap wine be made through less expensive processes or costs so that the wine is less beneficial or even more damaging to health? I understand that wine isn't generally considered to be good for health after all.
