The Lounge

the reason why is because if this happens science will advance faster so im giving them away like candy go ahead and say you came up with them if u want. hurry science must advance NOW. i have to remain anonymous anyway

A thread so i can ask a couple of questions? 1. A LONG STICK. If i had a stick that would not bend or compress, A foot shorter than our galaxy, And i was able to push this stick wether it had zero weight or on some kind of roller system, If i pushed it 1 foot 1 inch, Would the other end instantly stick out the galaxy?

I've been here for a little bit over a year now. I see people posting and new members appearing, however is there significant increase in new members/ activity for the scienceforums to keep going? I know that most members probably do not contribute money to keep the site up and running, but a decrease or increase in activity (i.e. new members, more posts) would definitely promise a direction for the future. I'm not a mod/ admin so I don't know any of the behind the scenes work.. how are things going here? I LOVE this forum so I hope it styays around. ~ee

I've been looking for a good science podcast to listen to and have been having a tough go of finding anything, could anyone recommend any?

I found this guy on Youtube the other day, he doesn't have a very big channel at the moment, but this video is very cool, uses an interesting concept with sound, water and light. What do you all think?

U mad bro?

Just Incase anybody thinks I'm making it up I want to prove why I wouldn't ---- I know everyone is conscious and therefore equal and that that's why I wouldn't lie or hurt~ Ok what was this anybody know/can explain? About 2 years ago I went out on the driveway to wait for the school bus and it was the morning and the clouds where a dramatic scene, the whole sky with the clouds was orange and such, and it was windy also, and then I noticed a red light in the clouds which was a vivid red-light-dot on the left side of the sky, and for about 20 seconds it was flying to the right side and it was going fast, like after the 20 seconds it was from one side to to other, and w…

i was wondering whether there's some site most scientists use to publish/post and look up research papers, there are several i'd like to have a look at. also can you post a paper as a student? or do you need to have a degree or some kind of qualification first? (i doubt any papers posted by a student will be useful so i doubt you'd be allowed to post any)

Throughout our knowledge of history mankind has persevered against one fundamental need. The need to explain, to define and categorize all events we observe. To a scientist which society has funded, supported, ridiculed and scorned, this basic desire is all the greater. Out of all the species on this planet we stand unique in this drive, though we cannot state that we are the most intelligent of beings residing upon our planet. We also cannot name any other species with the same basic desire to push the umbrella of our understanding beyond survival, enjoyment and security of such. However despite this the average scientist faces numerous obstacles. These obstacles include…

Hey guys not sure if im in the right section but I could not find a better place to put it. I am in my senior year of college majoring in computer science and am deciding whether to get a masters degree in computer science. I heard graduate school for computer science is very theoretical, which I don't really like. Lately I have been interested in engineering and was deciding on doing master in an engineering field. which engineering field would most likely go in hand with computer science (not including computer engineering)? Thanks.

I don't care who all you guys are, I'm going to be here for a little while. #if it's ok with the mods/admin

Since I have been trying to think of a project work on, I was wondering if people think it would be good to combine UrtheCaste with social networking? Since UrtheCaste gives images of different places on Earth, I was thinking of making a social network where the profiles appear in the location on the Earth in the social network where that person lives. This would give insight into what is going on around the person without having to first open their profile page. Then, if a person finds something interesting in the area located near that person then they can open that person's profile page and see if there are people talking about it. There is more to the idea, bu…

Happy Mother's day all you Mom's. Saw a thing on my browser just now that said "Celebrate your Mom", "Share something you learned from your Mom." Thought I would like to share a thought or two about my departed mom, and start a thread where others that wished, could do the same. (In the "privacy" of the select group of folk that frequent or pass through Scienceforum.) My Mom was a Mathematician and Teacher, took me and my sister to Presbyterian Church, my father did not attend. She was eccentric, and became more so as she and my Dad diviorced, and she aged. Still substitute taught and moved around throughout the States, Puerto Rico, St. Croix, and "retired"…

There is a Doogie Howser (TV show) screenshot that has a picture of Albert Einstein in a poster. However, to date, I cannot find any images that have Albert Einstein looking like this. I cannot tell if it is a real or fake image. Does anyone have an idea what year Albert Einstein would have looked like this:

I found discussion online stating Einstein was really an idiot. A lot of this is saying the fact that we CAN go past the speed of light means that the idea that we could not means that Einstein was stupid or the fact he was a German means he was an idiot since all Germany cares about is destroying Jews. Even if his old Research and ideas are today proven incorrect does that necessarily mean hes a complete moron or just that we are improving on ideas he created?

Hello SFN community, I will not be taking summer classes this year and opting to work on research instead. I am currently a biology and mathematics dual-major. I have no difficulties in determining research for either field, but ideas bridging the two is becoming more of a challenge than I originally expected. Could anyone share ideas they have had for research involving both math and biology? I would greatly appreciate it and would certainly share credit in any presentations in which your ideas became a reality. Michael Rohly

James Bond (Daniel Craig version..sorry swansont) vs Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr. version). One has to apprehend the other..all smarts, no fancy weapons/ gadgets, disguises are ok. who will win?

Relative to the major advances in science and technology, what field of science (i.e. medicine, chemistry, engineering) is losing purpose in the world? I was reading on a different science forum about how some medical tests that used to be done in hospitals can be accomplished at the home bedside now and some advanced ones in the next couple of years. - or an even simpler question if you prefer: What college science degree is least likely to attain employment in the future? -My pick is biologist.

Whos yours?

I join forums to understand other peoples opinions, define my own opinions and beliefs, to ask about information that may be misleading, as well as bring up issues that may be critically influential in todays society. Why do you join discussion forums?

Why don't we all put up pictures of ourselves on our avatars...make this more formal I suppose. I'l do it if the mods do it. P.S.- not trying to start anything unruly. -EE

For what ever it is worth. I found myself in an art session not sure what to paint by way of an Abstract Painting. I thought it would be nice to imagine a mass eruption like the Deccan Traps or the Siberian Traps. This is my attempt for a FUTURE MASS ERUPTION :-
