Hey guys As you probably know, I have a site/blog intended on bringing science to the public. The site's about to take some direction-change, and as part of it, I want to include a list of funny (and slightly naughty) science pickup lines. And who better to help me than YOU, naughty little buggers. So, feel free to share your most science'y pickup lines. Please take into account that the forum is PG rated. If you feel you have a winner that is innappropriate for a PG-13 site, send me a pm about it. I'll pick the best ones and they will be featured (with proper credit to the suggester!) on the new, upcoming (very exciiiiting) site! Good luck.. ~moo…

I need some help with the physics of cooking, to be used when people start freaking out over the alleged dangers of microwave ovens. 1. It seems to me that hot food must be radiating into the infrared no matter how it was heated. In the case of microwave heating, a lower frequency is used to stimulate a frequency in the food that is higher than the frequency used to induce it. Correct? 2. A stove burner transmits heat by conduction and an oven does it by convection. But how is the heat generated in the first place? Does an electric oven use electricity to generate infrared in the heating element, whose energy is then transmitted by conduction or convection? Or i…

All righty, now I understand what you meaning, …… like so, huh? WOW, fifty (50) years of debating someone's sloppy, wild-ass guesswork before it was finally discarded as "junk science" for lack of evidence.

At school looong ago, Oceania was a continent. Along the way, some genius changed the name. So, in which continent are now Marianas, Hawaii, Pascua, Philippines, Solomon, Galapagos, Marquesas, New Guinea... ?

Hi everyone, i made a video about 5 Times Scientists were wrong. I hope you learned something from this, and if i were wrong on some of the issues then please tell me in the comment section video link removed per rules

Hi all, I was hoping someone could possibly shed some light on something that has been baffling me over the past few days... My girlfriend purchased a box of Lemonade Icy Poles the other day and put them in the freezer, all frozen as per normal. A few days later she came over and decided to bring two of them with her, the trip is approximately 15 minutes in the middle of summer and despite good air conditioning in her car they had melted, not completely though. Once she arrived they were immediately put in the freezer. This is where I get confused.. the next day we remembered the Icy Poles and decided to have them, however when I opened the freezer they were …

So me and my boyfriend came to talk about this, time is affected already right outside the earths atmosphere where it goes a little slower, so the further away from gravitation, the slower time goes if I have understood it correctly, time always goes, night becomes day and day becomes night, but if we remove the idea of hours and time into an understanding like animals have, they just exist in the present, if we take lets say a deer, their lifespan can be about 14 years in captivity, if two deers get born at the same time, one is sent out into space and one stays on earth, would the space deer become 14 earth years or not? Time goes slower in space, and does that in anywa…

The Aerial Exploration Probe is a hypothetical interplanetary robotic device for assisting the study of gas giant planets such as Jupiter or Saturn. It consists of a dome shaped piece of tungsten metal with the electronics contained within a vacuum to protect from intense heat and cold; a giant balloon which is collapsed while in space and while it's entering the atmosphere; and an air-pumping unit fed with heat from the probe's nuclear generator to feed heated gas into the balloon to keep the probe aloft. Please tell me what you all think of my idea and if it could work

I've heard much on the Process of Desalination of Sea Water performed by a student by the name of Chaitanya Karamchedu. I'm working through his findings and I'm wondering how do I get ahold of commercially available Starch-g-polyacrylamides? Where would I go for this?

I was asked to find what type of media behavior NBC was engaging in when they posted this article "NBC Ties Canadian Mosque Attack to Trump Immigration Order", I was wondering if anyone could help me with this because I have been researching and researching and I can not seem to figure it out? Thanks in advance. NBC Ties Canadian Mosque Attack to Trump Immigration Order.pdf

So I've been interested in this for a while, and I understand that it may be a century or longer before we've made any substantial progress in this field, but I read an article here: http://newatlas.com/darpa-neural-interface/41434/ that states that DARPA wants to create better neural implants. Now, the main questions that I want to ask are, assuming that we can design implants which can link to enough neurons to establish a reasonable bidirectional flow of information between the brain and a piece of hardware and software designed to receive, translate and send signals to and from the brain, Is there a particular part of the brain where an implant could be place…

I found this on the net. I need help identifying what this text is. Any takers? More text in 1 page pdf. 2029 A ship op.pdf

The host of this YouTube video on the language of the Aztec asks "have you ever wondered what Aztecan really sounded like?" I did and have so since I first became aware of this great civilization, its culture, and its artifacts. Unfortunately, much of what we commonly understand about their pronunciations are Spanish filtered but this video teases out the correct pronunciations for such things as flower (xochitl), chocolate (cacahuatl), and Montezuma (Moteuczomatzin). It's an interesting video on the unique quality of an ancient language.

I have seen people with skills innovate over the years. Is skill related to innovation. Does science and arts draw from same set of skills?

Does music stimulate the production of alpha-waves in the brain? From regular beta how does the brain wave pattern change under the influence of music? And does this have curative properties?

When I was a kid, I used to be awakened in the morning by a sparrow chirp. I used to hear insects in the night. In the rainy season we used to see many caterpillars on the sand. My experience included the environment in which we lived. Lot of things have changed since then(about 30 years ago). Does our environment affect our experiences? To what extent? How are humans connected with each other through environment?

Hey! So me and a friend were having an argument: Do cellphones cause cancer as a result of the radiation? I remember hearing somewhere, true or not, that a single Xray exam will give you more radiation than a cellphone will in your entire life. If this were true, it could be used as an argument, but i had to crunch numbers to be sure. So I found how much radiation comes from different cellphone units, which is in W/kg http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2011/06/tech/table.phone.radiation/index.html (This post says the most legal amount is 1.6 W/kg, so lets do worst case) Then I found the radiation in an Xray, measured in mSv http://www.radiologyinfo.org…

Hi who may concern, We know that there are mainly two way inductive and deductive reasoning to prove a scientific theory. Inductive reasoning is proving something from observation and generalise it whereas deductive reasoning is another way round. Most of the law and theory are proved by using inductive reasoning. My question is that "is there any scientific theory proved by deductive reasoning?" Thank you.

Suppose i am thinking that if i was "taken" as an abductee where i would had been taken to if in 2000 ??? I think zapped then levitation and i was dropped into a swamp in columbia central america. There then i lay in the swamp waters for many hours and then i had woken up with many unknown flora around me. Then there would be something movement like creatures of outer space running here and there but uncatching to the human eye speeds. Or perhaps some jungle people of different language speaking unknown races of columbia would had seen me lying injured in the swamps. They then would had taken me to their hutments and given me some treatments healing my wounds and giving m…

The steel I'm working with is not magnetic themselves, if I put the two pieces of steel together they will not stick together. But is it possible to make the steel not stick to a magnet, or at the very least make the piece of steel less attracted to a magnet?

Hi people of the sciences, after watching this interview with scientist Michael Roll, id like your opinion on the work that is being carried out http://www.scsad.afterlifeinstitute.org/articles/background/scientificproof.html http://www.survivalafterdeath.info/articles/pearson/summary.htm Opening from first video - "Lou Bondi: Explain to me first of all how this idea of survival after death works? Michael Roll: Well, i'm presenting the scientific case for survival after death therefor it's very simple, it's got to be repeatable experiments under laboratory conditions backed up with a mathematical theory. That's all I'm interested in, i don't wan to know …

I rest my case. Aside from underground tubes. ? <3

I want to charge like a super battery for blackouts and I want to make a rod attract lightning and put it into a battery how can I do this?
