We build elaborate rolling systems "wheels" and ramps to show how they did it. Well here's the answer to an age old mystery. The pyramids were built using a canal system. Look at the evidence. The Egyptians invented the pump. They also built amazing water and sewage systems. "Canals have a very long history, with the earliest example of one being…

Hi there, My question is :Will humans be able to travel through time using their minds instead of bodies as shown in the movie The Butterfly Effect? The subject has been of interest to me since I was little and saw movies such as Somewhere in Time and later on the Fox TV movie 12:01. And if so: What kind of neurophysical mechanism would it take to generate such a phenomena? Any theories on the matter are welcomed. Archon1919

At breakfast the other morning, the subject of water dowsing came up. I was surprised to find that about 3/4 of the people present believed that it is possible to accurately locate water wells, sewer pipes, septic tanks and all manner of things buried in the ground, by the use of bent coat hangers. I just wondered if one or more of you folks could explain the scientific principals behind this phenomenon. Here is a sceptics report on it. http://skepdic.com/dowsing.html And oh, I almost forgot, about 1/2 of them believed that throw rugs always move towards the East. That is to say that a throw rug outside a doorway will creep towards the East when trod up…

Okay, just to sate my own amusement (and mind-numbingly pathetic case of boredom), I wanna get a good grasp on all the best ideas concerning the universe, its creation, and the origin of life, including any new ones anyone might like to share. I don't want theological debates, I just wanna hear ideas from anybody that might be interested. I've also inlcuded several of the more common ideas, just in case someone considers them crackpot but loves them regardless. So far we've got; I - The Sneeze of the Great Green Arkelseizure II - The Flying Spaghetti Monster and His Noodly Appendage III - Sciency Stuff IV - Literal Biblical Stuff V - Intelligent De…

If anyone wants to insist that terrorists cannot make use of depleted uranium, answer this question: Why do they alloy uranium fuel with aluminum? What exactly does this do for the nuclear reactor? It's a rhetorical question for the experts here. This is what happens when you bombard aluminum with alpha particles.

Most of the aliens that have been reported have been humanoid. I don't believe that in all the vast universe it would be likely that aliens from the far reaches who also look like us would come to Earth. I would think that there would a lot more difference. Look at the lifeforms on Earth, and you'd think some of them aren't from here. So my guess is that, if we are being visited or if there are aliens on Earth, the aliens were once from Earth. I think there'd be a lot of resemblence between the DNA. I've heard of alien-human hybrids, and in biology I learned that's only possible if DNA is similar. We know there were, and possibly are still, many hominids. Just recently…

Do they happen? Are they real? I'm an athesit, but today I was talking with a christian theist, and he kept saying that there are tons of cases of people that were parylyzed being healed and people with aids that had their doctors saying that they were going to die in a year, and they went to the doctor and said there was no more aids, after the person prayed for them. Is this true? Discuss.

what is remote viewing . it has anything to do with the ability of the brain

Physicists state we and our universe are made out of matter/energy. My wife always tells me about mind over matter/energy. If we are energy and the world we percieve is not the real world my questions are, can you overcome matter5 with your mind and two does energy/matter have a intelligent? pljames

I watched a man walk his dog yesterday. For some reason as it passed something made me think that the dog would soon die. The dog stopped in it’s tracks and simply died. This is the second time this has happened to me. The last time it was a cat. Ever heard anything like this before?

I have never seen an alien but Ive seen lots of UFOs and I had an experience one night. I was in bed and I woke up and there was this really loud noise in my ears and my arms were stuck behind my head and I was paralysed for ages. Then the noise stopped and I could move again. It didn't really hit me what was going on at first but then I remembered I had a dream about a man who is bald and was wearing a red suit. He started running on the spot and I tried asking him questions, which he turned into a weird rhyme: Me: “Who are you?” Him: “I’m Slovenly Mick” Me: “What shall I do?” Him: “It’s upto you” Me: “Why are you there?” Him: “Because I don't care” Him: Sl…

In a basis of that, what we name as common sense, there is the principle, according to which, we prefer, from many probable explanations other things being equal, the simplest explanation. And it, basically, is correctly because process of cognition occurs from simple to complex. But, unfortunately, in parallel sciences this principle is observed very seldom. So, for example, two parallel sciences – the physics and the chemistry, investigate the same object – substance. Thus, the physicists should give correct model of a structure of atoms, whereupon the chemists, using this model, should give correct model of a structure of molecules, including, the correct spatial stru…

When Einstein was asked about his Relativity he said: when the station comes to the train. It must be explained that the station is not moving through any space-time to get closer to the train. It is the train alone that accelerates(experiences weight). Therefore relative motion exists only in potential to the absolute movement in space-time of something else. This means that there is no reciprocity of effect in SR. Only the object that accelerates in space-time will experience length and time contraction. An object flying by the earth at very near light velocity will not have to wait to see Earth clocks. And they all will be blueshifted. There is …

London attack: authorities should have predicted this one was coming When Madrid suffered the 3/11 terrorist attack, the extreme similarly of the date to the 9/11 attack started a wave of suspicion that the Al Qaeda Jihad in Europe group was thinking about the symbolism of numbers. Also, the span of days between the two dates was 911 days. Given that ancient numerology most often is concerned with the number of days between dates, the speculation that Al Qaeda was indeed obsessed with numerology was definitely considered as a possibility. Now, don't forget that you need only two points to draw a line, but if you have a third point you can confirm whether you w…

I'm just wondering what everyone thinks about lifter tech. In case you don't know what i'm talking about just go to google and search up "lifter" there are tons of sites to explain it. I personally belive it. I'm currently building my own lifter but i'm having trouble finding a powerfull energy source.

I'll put the question here as it would be embarrasing to put it into a "proper" science forum. If under Quantum mechanics, an electron potentially exists everwhere in the Universe at the same time. And if it doesn't actually exist until we actually look at it. Then; Why does the Universe need more than one electron? As can be seen, my knowledge of Quantum mechanics is slightly less than my knowledge of.....well anything, really. I came across the question recently and thought it an interesting philosophical/theoretical one.

When did it get turned into "The Trash Can?" I just noticed it. I think it fits well.

First of all, I wonder if any of you have heard of the story of the supposed time traveller who called himself "John Titor" (Timetravel_0). http://www.johntitor.com/ Before leaving our timeline, John Titor himself made several appearances on web forums, and made some scary predictions about the future and discussed the workings of the time machine. I know many of you are experts in different fields of science. What can you tell from the posts of John Titor? Does the time machine, the way he explained it, seem possible? Or does John Titor's whole story seem like an elaborate hoax? Are his posts internally consistent? Are they in compliance with known laws …

Imagine U shape tube. In the bottom of the tube is osmotic membrane, which divide tube on 2 independent tubes. Left tube we fill with clear water and right tube with concentrated salty water. If the levels in both separated tubes are the same - pressure is different from 2 sides of membrane. It is possible to find "h1" of tube, when we get reversive osmotic process and "h2" when "perpetuum mobile" starts. It was taken from http://www.rp-energy.com. Site is in Russian and you should have web translator.

8:48 PM 6/18/05 according to earthlings, Honor Seed telepathic entry: The consensus is among the gift is to first become aware of the telepathic reception of feelings before mindspeak or sentences as they are called when you receive air vibrations through the ears rather than receive brainwave vibrations which seem to be oblivious to the mass of flesh, bone and other assorted stuff before telepathic brainwaves reach the receiver. Who is to say that parents who have long ago suppressed or blocked words they heard in their minds from outside sources now send their kids the same telepathic message that are more open these days with parents? The c…

Some guy claims to be able to summon U.F.O.'s. Here is the video: U.F.O. Summon Looks pretty convincing with the News and stuff but, I am very skeptical. I thought it might be a weather balloon but it seems to be moving to fast. Here is the guy's site: http://www.prophetyahweh.com/ From June 1st he said in 45 days something big will happen like it staying over Las Vegas for a couple of days for everyone to see. I personally don't believe it but it's still pretty interesting.

I found this and thought I'd share. I reminds me of some of the theads/posts/people we've seen here. Just to site my source, I stole these from yahoo. The comic is called, appropriately enough, Non Sequitur. I hope I gave you a good chuckle.

I just finished talking with a man named Joao Magueijo after reading his book "Faster than the speed of light" which HE proves that einstein is wrong, anyone else read the book? any thoughts on this? What do you think of VSL theory?

Lets look at a cell.......well this is made up of molecules and these can be broken down atomic particals ( going ahead of myself ) to something else......then and these can be broken down to something else.......and these can be broken down to something else so on and so forth so we go on and on and on and on................WE ACTUALLY THEREFORE DON'T EXIST........OR DO WE ??????

My theory is simple. Gravity is a layer that does not cover everything. Gravity is not around us at all. It is a thin layer that is placed between the border of the sky/clouds and space. When you are underneath the layer gravity is pushing on you, causing anything to go up to be pushed back down. Now when you are above the what i call 'Gravitonic Line' you are being pulled downward.
