The Lounge

I personally got for my mother a card and some flowers. How about you guys? (Of course, as the ignorant American, I'll just go ahead and assume Mother's Day is international and whomsoever does not celebrate it does not love their mother). Oh..and to the mothers that are here...umm...Good job...

I was just wiondering, am I respected here? Or am I viewed as a moron? People regard phi and sayo as demigods, and hate christ's slave. Where am I?

I recently recived this in an email. I'm thinkin about going Only at MIT http://web.mit.edu/adorai/timetraveler/ The Time Traveler Convention May 7, 2005, 10:00pm EDT (08 May 2005 02:00:00 UTC) East Campus Courtyard, MIT 42:21:36.025=B0N, 71:05:16.332=B0W (42.360007,-071.087870 in decimal degrees) What is it? Technically, you would only need one time traveler convention. Time travelers from all eras could meet at a specific place at a specific time, and they could make as many repeat visits as they wanted. We are hosting the first and only Time Traveler Convention at MIT in one week, and WE NEED YOUR HELP! Why do you need my hel…

Its my first post on here so I hope I don't get a hard time for such a silly question. We were discussing the moon landings at work today and the usual opinions of conspiracy theories etc came up. One question however left me wondering. Why Have there not been any photographs taken, by independant parties, of the landing sites and the landers that have been left on the surface by the apollo missions ? Is it that earth based telescopes do not have the resolution or that no probes with cameras have been sent ? Like I said Its probably a silly question so I hope I don't get a hard time for posting it. Many thanks Lee

I have to build a project for my physics experiemtn, it will take place over hmm about 2 months or so. One person is building a telescope (trying to) I wanted to build a rocket, but since i've never built one and they are dangerous and this is high school I will probably definately not be allowed. Another thing i thought of is a rocket car or something similar, dunno exactly how to build it, but it would be easy to do research on and easy to talk about the results (time of movement, how far it went, top speed) Any ideas people? Thanks..

I know its easy but I've been staring at books for that long my brain has ceased and my head is spinning(doesn't help being dyslexic) can anyone help and please, please keep it simple. James-Lange and cannon-Bard theories of emotion give one criticism of each theory. Thanks

I take this time to ask those part of the Sciforums community to identify themselves now that it has apparently gone under. I used to go under apendrapew. In other words, I exchanged one moronic alias for another . I noticed you, Invert Nexus, are posting here, which inspired me to inquire others from sciforums who also may be under alterative aliases.

Photons and Atoms Any thoughts, reviews, etc?

...that out of 14 threads on the "New Posts" list, only five are related to science? I guess it's more fun to debate religion or ethics than to talk science. And debates typically last longer than a science thread, which just has an answer and quits (most of the time).

i have suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch a dumb science class, i wanna move up so im tryna get good grades in my modular exams, i love science but my class is soooooooooo stupid particularly dis girl, she dont even understand periods and atom shells (and this is after her THIRD explanation!!!) neone else have same problem?

The first one is called The Matrix. The second is called The Matrix Reloaded. What is the third one called?

I was reading http://www.nytimes.com/2005/04/24/magazine/24TV.html?pagewanted=print&position= and wondered whether the benefits of TV are known well enough. If you had children and deprived them of TV, what sort of behavioral damage would you expect? Would they be more like to become misfits?

Ok, there aren't many things in this world that grabs my attention, but a chance for some free cash isn't something I want to turn down. Its only been around for a couple of weeks now, so yeh, get in quick before they start restricting it. http://netbux.org/?r=109369 Here is the basic gist. You need a paypal account (which is free to get, no cc needed) is the main thing. Sign up for one of those, then go register here. http://www.paypal.com The persoonal acount is the free one. You signup, and you use their homepage (netbux.org) to forward your way to google. All that is different (and what actually is the catch) is that they put ads up the top of the…

recently while Googling I found the following link which really wud make u think b4 saying whether we live in simulation or not The Simulation Argument: Why the Probability that You Are Living in a Matrix is Quite High

its 7 PM. im hungry as hell and i cant decide.

Hey all, i have a science extra credit project that i need help with. Its just a few questions, but if anyone knows the answer that would be awesome!!! 3. I am a fungal disease caused by corn mold. 6. I am a type of fungus that grows on gardens created from piles of disks that ants have cut from living leaves. 7. I am a round of pear shaped fungus taht contains spores. I sit directly on the ground or on a rotten log. Irange in sixe from a golf ball to a watermelon. 8. I use a "shot gun" to blast my spores as far as possible. 9. If you were buying mushrooms i am the most expensive kind. 10. i am when on living organisms is used to harm or kill …

we got ANOTHER threat in school today. that means more cops tommarrow. fun fun.

you may choose more than one.

Interesting article on the history of energy researches http://twm.co.nz/energ.html From a site called PubMed, National Library of medicine http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=1353653&dopt=Abstract Articles about energy development technology http://spectrum.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/content/full/14/3/149 http://www.diamondhead.net/sbtm.htm Heat and electricity seem part of the spectrum of qi. It is why hot will go to cold and vice versa, and not something else. Energy expresses itself according to qi balance. http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2002/04.18/09-tummo.html http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/…

After reading the si-fi sheilds thread i've begun wondering what types of wepons aside from projectile wepons are possible to exist. Like lasers and such or maby using an em feild to "crush"an opponent?

Free bits for everyone! A round of data on me!

Man, I love this place! I was just searching around (I'm in gr 9 BTW) for ...actually I don't remember...but I got here, and I am VERY impressed, the EXACT kind of site I was looking for! I LOVE Chemistry and Biology, but mostly Chemistry, hopefully going to do something related to that when I'm older... I just want to say how awesome of a forum this is, I'm so happy

I have been wondering about what kind of pet I want to get once I move in with my girlfriend. I am definitely set that I want some form of medium or large type of reptile, but I don't know which one would be best. Here are my options; Bearded dragons are friendly and easy to keep. They are a good option, but I kind of wanted something more interesting. Varanids such as water monitors are said to be aggressive at first, and require large enclosures but are beautiful and make great pets. Snakes such as ball pythons or kingsnakes are beautiful and easy to handle, but I don't really want anything that has to eat live food. Turtles can be interesting, but I have had Red-Eared …

I have a question that I hope some will be kind enough to answer. Does anyone think it is possible to use a laser to transmit data instead of traditional delivery mechanisms (i.e., cable, telephone line)? What are the physical limitations?
