    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…

  2. 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?

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 …

    As scary as my title sounds, my idea is to create a tag for a person, by having this tag you can quickly identify who this person is and where he is going. In other words you get the identify information of the person, what the person wants to display, and his location. By having this tag, in a work environment, you can quickly track where everyone is at any given time, or you can identify a stranger having this tag that makes the person more approachable. You can also avoid this person if he is some troubled ex. Well the problem for this would involve privacy, but again this tag is placed voluntarily by the user. It could have some sort of social or work benefits, when y…

    Hi, I did electroporation to insert to BL21 DE3 cells with pACDK4C plasmid which contains Cap resistance gene and Targetron (intron that can integrate into a specific location) that inserts to LacZ gene. The Taregetron cannot be transcribe without IPTG presence due to the fact that it located downstream to T7 promoter and Lac operator. I plated the transformants on LB+Cap (25ug/ml) plate. As negative control I plated BL21 cells without the plasmid on LB plate. Both plates were applied with 60ul Xgal (20ug/ml) + 40ul IPTG 0.1M. The strange thing was that in the LB+Cap plates the cells only grow in the edges of the plate while in the negative control the colonies…

  12. I’m looking at the correlation between communications outreach and a scientific journal’s impact factor/citations. I intern for a communications department at a University’s engineering school and we are trying to motivate more of our scientists to share their publications with us for media and press release. The biggest issue we have with convincing scientists to become interested in this is the lack of quantitative data that shows the benefit of us publicizing their journals. I’ve done some prior research and the most I could find was others acknowledging the lack of research done in this area and proposing that social scientists should look into this. Do you have any s…

I know I haven't been on here for a while, or posted anything, but that's because I am embarrassed to post my questions, i feel dumb asking these things. why does nail polish look better underwater? it looks more deeper and a brighter color. i cant seem to photograph it really well because i can not work my phone with one hand that well, it doesnt set the sharpness where i want it to be. there must be some kind of way the light bounces around once it gets underwater, i also noticed you can see a better contrast between where you put a think coat of nail polish on then thin. i know this is a really girly thing of me to ask. p.s. I don't know which category this goes in, …

    I thought about this a couple months ago, and I think I'm ready to show this to public. I've figured out how to (theoretically) teleport to other places. Note this does not work with Living beings, you'll see why in a second. So my idea is, if you can separate the atoms, send them to another location, and then reattach the atoms, you can basically let one object teleport to another. It's sorta like TV, when electrons get separated, sent thru cable, then gets reattached (or beamed) to the screen. Now here's why you can't do the same with living things (if you didn't get it when I explained the theory), the atoms have to be separated one by one, which means it will be kille…

    Just wanted to share Click on the image if the gif doesn't start. It is a scale factor. It can also be seen as if you were traveling. It follows the rules of perspective: there is a focus point, all the lines are extending geometrically from this point. But the on graph it is a scaling. And the scale factor pictures an acceleration, but that is not so easy to decipher. Here below an explanation to my acceleration comment. *(edit) for a regular time interval (say each second) the length increase exponentially. So that the next time you travel on the highway you may realize that although moving at constant speed you see the surrounding …

    I ordered MICR toner powder and want to make a ferromagnetic fluid and keep it in a bottle. -First I need to make the ferrofluid. I mix MICR toner with vegetable oil or kerosene. Which of the two should I use? What's the difference? -I will put the ferrofluid in water. On YouTube I saw a video in which someone used 70% ethanol/30% water. Doesn't the oil of the ferrofluid solve in ethanol? -How can I prevent stains from the ferrofluid on the glass of the bottle? -Can I use iron powder to make ferrofluid? I hope someone can help me, I don't want to mess it up.

    Is there a direct correlation between how much fat you are carrying and your cholesterol levels? My weight for many years was 65Kg with a total cholesterol of 2.7. Two years later after interferon treatment I went up to 86Kg and total cholesterol of 8. I am now 76Kg with a cholesterol score of 5.8. Is it possible to get your cholesterol level down without losing weight? I am on the top end of my optimal BMI. Before that I was on the lower end of the optimal range. I want to stay where I am but get my cholesterol down to 4.0 or below.

  22. Maybe i am alone in this but i feel the word intelligence needs a redefine. Really, how "smart" are we? We have done a lot of cool stuff obviously, but i feel big brains have far more negative consequences than positives. Mental illness in animals is like 1 in a million, humans is like 1 in every 3? I dunno, we just pat ourselves on the back far too much. It is very possible we have just gotten to smart for our own good.

    Some days back i had a dream in which i was perhaps contacted by some logical thinkers of the modern world perhaps americans. They constructed this dream in my mind, so i can visualize it and understand it in my own way. In this dream its shown how the americans... look to the indian way of living. Earlier before 1900 there were many monarchies and other heirarchies...within white communities itself. So they then re-located themselves to south america countries and other countries of europe. So some think of it that india rather than a ruling power country of english-germanic and french - slavic communities was instead a place pre-occupied by spanish, portugal, cuban, bra…

    Dogs can't talk... at least, now in the same language as humans. However, there are some dogs out there who their masters swear can actually understand what you're saying to them. Well, dogs can't "talk," per se, but they can bark! Could it be possible to teach a dog to bark in morse code? Really makes your imagination run wild, doesn't it?
