Does anyone know of any images of what the night sky would like if there was an active quasar at the heart of the milky way?

Lets say someone wanted to make a fansite or sell fanmade products for a particular fanbase over internet. What would the legal ramifications be if they did not get copyright permission and how do you get said consent? How likely is it to be sued for a fan promoting and or selling fan products? Does anyone know anything about copy-written laws over the internet?

I'd like to hear people's stories.

New bucket list item... I have to have one of these... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq7wBYxGWqM

What are your thougts on a person who never got to experience high school science/biology/chemistry/mathematics on beginning a journey to get her upgrading courses through adult basic education and starting on a college bsc degree in possibly biochemistry. I know, it's an odd question. On one hand, I might put a lot of effort into trying science and discover it was not meant to be. The exiting part is though, I might try it and discover it's perfect for me, my thing, my 'niche' that I have yet to discover. If I have yet to discover it, why not science? I don't know if I'll be any good at memorization. I know I'm good with concepts. I had 3 college semesters of Phi…

Hello everyone! I haven't posted in a while because I've been working on my latest composition since my birthday January 15th.

Kinda "cool" comic in astro-biology magazine... http://www.astrobio.net/index.php?option=com_comics&msg=&id=&task=&ser=3&pageNo=1

It is a real measure of energy? If so what can I compare it with to understand how much power it represents? I ask because I was watching Star Trek Voyager and in passing they mentioned the warp reactor produced 4 trillion terradynes of energy per second, is it just technobabble or a real measure of energy? I tried to google it but my spelling must be off because all I got was bunch of companies with the word in their names...

For some reason, I have always had an abysmal public speaking ability. My brain will randomly deny me certain memories that I know like the back of my hand when not in front of a crowd. I also forget how to simultaneously breath and talk, taking deep breaths and not being able to find a pause in my sentence to take another. I realize public speaking is a vital tool in a person's toolbox, so I want to perfect it. For those of you who were once like me, what were some of the steps you took to improve? Thanks!

This doesn't really have anything to do with anybody who is likely to read this, and is wholly of a personal context which will not be explained. I felt like declaring eternal and infinite personal bitterness, I have before, and having lived long enough, that too faded. But really, I'm just terribly sad.

The night my heart stopped and I flat-lined On the 18th August 2011, I my heart stopped beating numerous times, at home and then in the Sunninghill Hospital (clinically death) I had taken nap on that Thursday night, and a dear friend of mine, Tony was somehow moved to phoned late that night, a thing he had never done before, I woke up with heart going crazy almost stopping, my wife immediately called the for the ambulance and they got to my home in ten minute flat, the hospital is less than a half kilometer from my home and I was there in five minutes and went I got attention immediately. Note! If my friend of some thirty five years,Tony , had not phone me, fr…

My ex used to swear on letting red wine 'breath' before drinking, even if it was a cheap bottle. To be honest, the difference in taste is marginal to nil (and I couldn't really tell if it tasted better or not), also alcohol bonds with oxygen to form acetic acid (vinegar) so what exactly is the purpose in letting wine breath, and is there a 'connoisseur's' limit to the amount of time you let wine breath for ? I'm just not convinced that it adds to the pleasure of drinking red wine. If anyone knows better, then I'd be interested, as to why it should improve the taste, and what their preferred 'breathing limit' is with their favourite wine. I like dry Chilean, and fr…
