Other Sciences

Afterlife is one obvious SCENARIO,most very probabilistic SCENARIO, We will reborn in a new "animal" in this planet, but without MEMORY. Science is completely under Torquemada: have you fear of discuss LOGICA? Take me, it's hard to solve problems of this life... can we think to prepare our next life, too many variability: you will reborn dog or condor? Can you prepare now? Invest your money for your next lifes lifes lifes.... But is obvious! Where we will go,sorry? Here in that shit of Planet! Scinetists..... you are scientists?? You are fakers!! suspicious graphic link removed by moderator

While firstly agreeing that all the sciences are interesting and each beneficial and essential in their own way: all are obviously used to advance mankind, as plain old humans, each of us would have a favourite that he/she sees as most interesting: My vote goes with Astronomy and as an extension Cosmology, Astrophysics........ I am unable to describe it any better then the following quote by the Scottish Astronomer James Furguson “Of all the sciences cultivated by mankind, Astronomy is acknowledged to be, and undoubtedly is, the most sublime, the most interesting, and the most useful. For, by knowledge derived from this science, not only the bulk of the Earth is discove…

It is summer, and it is hot. Unfortunately, my window faces the west, and good Lord have mercy it is like a furnace in there. I have no proper ventilation, and the fan on my ceiling is... well, sad. Yes, sad. Would covering my windows with a light reflecting substance also reduce the amount of heat felt in my room? If so, what can I cover my windows with. Posted this a couple weeks late, event hough I have been meaning to do so, I haven't because I am lazy. Thanks in advance. Edit: I wrote the title kind of wrong, you can't reflect heat

Hi, so yesterday i was just pondering and i came up with an idea that a space ship would release a nuclear bomb which was timed to detonate at a distance far away enough as to not hurt the craft, but close enough to absorb kinetic energy from the explosion, after a series of such detonations the optimal range to minimize damage but optimize absorption of kinetic energy would be at the center of the explosion where particles from what i understand reach close to light speed. I must add, to see if my idea would work i googled stuff about the subject and found that an almost identical idea had already been proposed called the "Orion Project". So what are the problems in…

We spend so much time, money and effort learning human history that we have an enormous data set (from historical writings and archaeology) so why are we doomed to repeat the mistakes we seem to understand?

Why do you think some groups of people have progressed while others have remained in primative stages?

Hi there . . I know this might cause some consternation amongst specific scientific areas as to their inclusion or exclusion but I am trying to create a metaphysical map to help show laypersons how the sciences scales and elements fit together ... I am however a bit unsure if i have the taxonomies around matter atoms elements etc correct. Can anybody advise as to the correctness or help fill in any gaps i have missing

Had modern science not arisen in Europe, could it have arisen in other parts of the world (E.g. china, middle-east etc.) with time? Is the scientific method an inevitable discovery?

I've made the video below, and provided the transcript if you are unable to watch the video. Fleas cannot even remotely imagine what is outside the realm of your carpet, your pets and you. Just like fleas exist in their current state, they’re unaware of the world outside where they live. They are unaware of all the advances humans have made and all that exists in the known universe, just as we are are capable of being unaware what exists outside the boundaries of what we can perceive. In that scenario we may exist in a smaller universe that is a part of a larger one, such as fleas can be unaware that there are other planets. Or that we may exist in a simula…

A "cloud" falls from infinite space. Then, in the crust of the planet, as in the depths of the primitive oceans, could be observed the existence of a viscous element that covered the whole Earth. With this gelatinous mass, protoplasm was born. This matter, amorphous and viscous, with its condensation gave origin to the birth of the nucleus. The earliest inhabitants of Earth are albuminoid cells, amoebae, and all unicellular organisms that have multiplied in the warm waters of the oceans. These beings only reveal a sense: of touch, which gave rise to all others.

Hello everyone, I'm a Physics teacher in a secondary school and I'm doing a little research into why the number of females in Physics A level classes and undergraduate courses (only about 20%) is so low. If I could please take 5-10 minutes of your time by asking you to fill out this survey: https://www.quicksurveys.com/s/c6J3EnS I also encourage you to pass the link around to anyone you think may be interested in giving their opinions. It is anonymous and open to everyone, I just ask for your honest opinions. At this stage I will likely put out a second survey informed by the responses to this one, so if you'd like to suggest pertinent questions t…

The expression sorry may change the emotions of an individual. So now I want to ask a question. "If somebody say sorry to you, what is your feeling particularly in psychological aspect? Why sorry is not enough sometimes? For you, if a person say sorry, how do you assess that particular scenario in your life? Feedbacks are very much appreciated. Thank you

Our refuse nowerdays is full of plastic bags, and plastic containers of a whole range of shapes . Is this indicative that we have touched a very fundamental principle of nature ? Is CONTAINING a scientific principle that is indespensible for :- ......... LIFE ....THE UNIVERSE ..... and .....EVERYTHING . . ? ....... Mike

In your opinion, how did the policies of both the United States and Soviet Union lead to the start of the Cold War?

Hi. Anyone has done Supercritical Fluid Extraction here? I want to ask something regarding to this extraction.

Hello. I am not sure this is the right place to expose this issue (I was thinking about posting it in the computer science forum, but I decided it was better here). I wrote a python program in orden to solve the beale ciphers (if you don't know what I am talking about you can google it) but my problem is that I need texts avalaible in 1800 in the United States. I don't live in the USA and I am not familiar with internet webs that can possess these texts. So my question is: do you know a website that contains texts from about 1800? Thanks in advance

My buddy and I have had a debate for a long time over the link between grey hair and caffeine. He believes my grey hair coming through has been an effect by my intake of caffeine. I'm on the contrary as I am yet to see any evidence substantiating it. Can anyone chime in on our debate?

I have a very old box of matzoh (last year's passover). It is not stale. What is it about passover matzoh that it never gets stale?

I feel comfortable in a cotton, flax, linen clothing. Not so we polyesters and polymers. Is our body comfortable only in natural fabric? There was a time when we used to wear even nylon, but it catches fire easily. I do not trust other fabrics to regulate heat in our body, only natural fabrics may be trusted. What do you say? Should our clothing be scientific or natural?

If this doesn't have a name, it definitely needs one, since it's a clearly observable facet of human behavior. It's the tendency of older generations to blame new technology for all (or most of) the world's problems. People of today blame the Internet for all types of suicides, con artists, etc. A few years ago, grandparents were blaming violence/obesity/just about anything on video games. In the 50's and 60's, grandparents were blaming that stuff on television. Old people during the time of WWII blaming mass panic on radio (as you can read about in the #3 entry of this article) If an old person hasn't grown up with the technology, it's suddenly the Devil! The…

I want to write a book but I need some information on radiation first. My questions are: 1. What materials can't be damaged by radiation? I found online that metal doesn't work because it doesn't have ionic bond, is that correct? I need to know what can stand up to radiation. There will be an AI and I need them to be able to go out into the radiation. 2. Does radiation block signal transmissions? 3. Theoretically, what could power a spaceship and not blow up when in contact with radiation? If there is any more information about radiation that you think might be relevant please let me know. Also, if you can put your answers in layman's terms as much as po…

Everyone after reading this will probably think I'm crasy but 1 week ago I made notes about timelines and I think it would be nice to share it with you. A Timeline is created by a species simple decision or mental thought. Timelines multiplies simultaneously. Timelines are created inside of a multiverse. Everytime a timeline is destroyed a new multiverse is created. Both timelines and multiverse are blinded to the naked human eye. Once a multiverse is destroyed all timelines existing in it are destroyed as well. If the multiverse is destroyed that means no of the timelines survived making it positive there is no reproduced multiverse. Timelines have the save events but w…

I have a question, not about sethoflago's question but about the Big Bang theory in general. How can anyone scientifically believe in the Big Bang, or evolution, for that matter? For something to be believed by the scientist community, doesn't it have to be repeatedly observed and the theory tested, according to the scientific method. Evolution has never been seen, observed, or recorded by humans, so how can we scientifically believe in it? Same thing with the Big Bang, but I guess not as much so since the beginning of the universe only happens once, and we can't really observe it.

I've heard poor Luis de Broglie's name pronounced more ways than I care to think of. Does anyone know the correct pronunciation? I have always thought that the g is pretty much silent, and the lie part has a "yeh" sound to it. As in : " de Broh-yeh " Also, when I see "Euler" I want to say "you-ler", but I've heard someone say "oiler" before, is this right?
