  5. This may come across as a pseudo intellectual rant, I wouldn't know. In any case, I'm not looking for pseudo intellectual answers. I just spent some time trying to be honest with myself, and I need to communicate these ideas to other people. I came to the science forums because I'm looking for studious, hardworking people. Physicists, doctors, engineers, I am jealous of you. I’ve slowed my behavior to a halt. I’ve stopped my life in its tracks and I proceedthrough each day focusing on very few ideas. It’s because I am slowly starting to realize that my will is not leadingme in any path. I am stuck. And scared of the content I feel in myidleness. Should I not l…

    My name is Serena Nicoll. I am doing a science project investigating how students from different types of schools understand conservation of mass and volume. I am asking for your help in two ways. First, can you and your children ages 9 and older please take a survey? To fill out the survey, please visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/L77RJKX . Second, can you please share this post so that everyone will see it? I am trying to get as many people from around the world to take this survey as possible. If everyone takes the survey and tells their friends, I will have a really great study! Thank you so much for your support!

    IQ represents how many metaphors you have, not how elaborately you can put them together - I wonder if concepts are contextualized metaphors, as innovation is often inspired by such. Brain damage isn't just something to talk about - there's no telling which neurons we'll need. Does anyone know the dreamcatcher model of social networks?

    Well, I have come to realize, but not realized in hindsight that I will actually have some time over the christmas periods to participate for a number of weeks before my studies begin again. Until my christmas holidays are over, I will need to resume back to my work. So for now, you may consider me back for a short spell.

    Now Nasa says that there are no planetary alignments in the next few decades, but I don't know in what context they said that. This is what I found out on the simulation. Is this literally an alignment?. I also clicked on the A.D and the B.C buttons provided there and the planets were mostly aligned in a different way on B.C too, so that means that the grouping of planets is a normal phenomena which occurs frequently and no further teleology has to be attributed to it and the earth has existed for 4.5 billion years, it has seen more things like these than we do. What do you think, does it mean anything scientifically?

I diplomatically ask, and state my claim. Please do not subject your own history to ridicule. This is clearly, archaeology, astronomy. They are our ancestors, please do not ridicule here or i will report. A valid scientific study, and scientists don't claim this as religion.

    Cyclops Climbed a hill 1000 meters high. The cliff top was a bare rock, its three sides falling almost straight to the ground. In his downward vision he saw himself of two meters length, the sheer fall of the cliff down to the ground a 1000 meters. Suddenly he felt the height of the cliff added to his own height, he felt he was 1002 meters tall. What happened next was that Cyclops lost interest in anything below his eye level of 1002 Meters: the ground below, the match box houses, the people in it, and their various interactions, even in the food that was down there. He stood transfixed, his eyes seeking the next hill top of equal height, probing the sky and the c…

    The spirit of Christmas past; I used to trudge thru ankle deep muck in the fields in search of the perfect tree. Wife and kids in tow, giving countless opinion on every tree we saw. When finally a consensus was reached, I would pluck the tree from the earth and mount it on the roof of the family chariot, and of course set it up where I was instructed. My annual task was finished. I could sit back and revel in the cheerful sounds of the family decorating it. This went on for the first 15 or so years of wedded bliss. The last year (some 5 or so years ago) that I participated in this ritual. We again located the perfect specimen, drug it out of the field, and tied it to the …

    Cyclops had been to a Water Falls. He saw the sheet of Water break up, Scatter into a cluster of water drops. Catching the cluster of Water drops at the top of the Falls he could hold it in his eyes and follow its descent. When he did that he fell with the Water drops. Swing up the eyes, hold the cluster of drops, follow its descent and fall again himself with a thud and do it again. After a while he let go the water and shifted his gaze to the adjacent rock face. The hill was RISING! Cyclops was profoundly changed, rapt at the happening. He needs to know what exactly happened to evolve a theory, and a technique to do it as a therapy, poetry.

    Cyclops bent to pick up a Sleeping child. He squared his shoulders, expanded his RIB CAGE, took a broad breath, pushed his elbows out, crouched above the child. Something came unbuckled, the two halves of his rib cage separated, the two lungs separated, wind pipe lay open like a broad road, heart lay soft and free in one corner, the breath resonated to the aunomotopic sound of NR.NR.NR…………… The sound was eerie, other worldly, but soft sonorous inducing warmth, security, happiness and subtle strength. The Sleeping child harkened, relaxed, smiled, hugged Cyclops snug. What came unbuckled as Cyclops squared his shoulders? What was the NR sound. Are there many more s…
