Other Sciences

i mean im pretty sure it wont be for resources other that maybe the animals that we have to put in a zoo or something or maybe somthing in human brains we dont know about also im pretty sure it wont be because they just can theyve been lower than stage one at some point and forgetting that is going to be pretty hard.

So yesterday my buddies and I were watching a Neil deGrasse Tyson video and he was talking about space and how we've seen traces of life on other planets. As he talked about the planets he kept on referencing some sort of changing factor that tweaked the system which caused like to disappear from there. Thinking to myself what could be that factor? I concluded that over time as the sun continues to shrink, the exterior planets begin receiving smaller amounts of heat, eventually not enough to sustain life on the planet. Then planet by plant slowly we arrived at earth and our next planet to live on is not Mars but Venus. Are their any studies that say anything like that or …

There are now several numerical ways to rank science journals, for example we have Impact Factor and SCImago Journal Rank (SJR). I am not exactly sure how serious one should take these rankings. For sure you cannot use them to compare journals in different fields. The main factors I take into account when choosing a journal to submit a paper are i) Subject appropriate ii) Editors I know of Journal ranking seems less important to me at this stage, but that may change as bureaucrats take more and more notice of rankings. So my question/subject for discussion is 'how important are journal rankings to you?'

Can anyone recommend a documentary about the lives of hunter gatherers, I'm especially looking for something dealing with violence in such societies.

This looks rather interesting http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn27546-homebrew-heroin-soon-anyone-will-be-able-to-make-illegal-drugs.html?full=true#.VW9s3tJVhHx Going to be an headache for law enforcement, I also wonder about the addiction level coming from yeast.

So what are good examples of real pseudosciences?

I wish to not only try and convince people that I am right here, but am also asking for a challenge for someone to debate this with me. (Note to Reader: I have provided a brief summary here in bolded words. If you are asking why can't I just summarize this, then if I were to just say a brief statement such as that "Life is all about pleasure and that pleasure is the only greatest thing in life," then there would be plenty of people who would be able to argue against that. Therefore, I must argue my points to where it is very convincing which would make my hypothesis that more important to test later on through science. And that would mean going into great detail wit…

I'm curious and I've been working on a project out of the back of my truck and I'd just like to gather some information that would otherwise take years to get. It's my understanding that if a rusted iron Plat is connected to a positive lead and then dunked into a solution that had a negative lead on it the the rust will be removed from the remaining iron and then a reaction would take place removing the oxygen from the iron. Is this true or am I crazy. I would try the project myself but I have little to no funding for it and nowhere to do it. Also if this is true, is there a certain current needed in order to start this process or how exactly does this work?

Out of curiosity whats your personal opinion of the show "Cosmos" ?(2014) I've heard a wide range of opinions on it from a wide range of individuals. I've had science professors tell me it was a fantastic way to get people into science to an astrophysicist complaining that it romanticizes science and most likely won't get people into the field who weren't already interested in such a heavy subjects(cosmology, physics, astronomy). Personally I find it very uninformative most likely because it's tailored towards the general population. However I did enjoy the animated historical parts depicting vital characters of science in the past 1 thousand years or so.

I have a simple theory about life. Maybe you will think I am crazy, but think about it, there is a small border between genius and mad. The science says that, the simplest theory is the true, and you need only a small imagined thing to believe this theory. If you want to imagine the unlimited, infinite world, you need to think about it like a circle in a circle in a circle, till the number of worlds. The inner circle is this world. When the world peace comes, the science and technology of the humans will be significantly better, and they will be able to create a machine what can connect the minds, share the experiences and imagination, and create an artificial dream, whi…

I've noticed that "skepticism" seems to be another scientific term that's been hijacked by a popular definition, like "logic" and "theory". A lot of folks come here to express skepticism about a particular concept, hypothesis, or theory, and when the membership links them to tons of supportive evidence and patiently explains why this information should be trusted, they continue to be "skeptical" ad infinitum, ad nauseam. I think healthy skepticism is about checking alleged facts, not taking people simply at their word, and wanting to get a peek at the methodology used to obtain the data to make sure the proper rigor was maintained. But the popular skeptic usually does…

I don't know if this method has ever been thought of or if it would be efficient, but from what I hear there is a lot of space debri that is in space(not man-made) that may be valuable resources. I was thinking maybe there could be a way to gather this space dust and use it as a valuable resource. Is this an idea to investigate?

I have always been easily distracted when doing my yard work. Stopping to to watch a spider or ant, birds or squirrels or any critter that catches my eye or even ear, as it was with the two frogs that were croaking from my brush pile yesterday. We played "Marco" . . . "Polo" for 15 minutes, never did see either one of them. A mystery that I indulge in every fall takes place in the gravel area in front of my home shop. I noticed 10 or so years ago that the needles from a nearby pine tree, that have been distributed over the area, eventually will begin to cluster into piles. It can get rather windy here so the supply of these needles stays pretty consistent in the fal…

When do you guys think a well developed interactive hologram will be available to the public?

What would be the practical consequences if everywhere on Earth had the same time with no adjustment for longitude? Edited to rename parameter from latitude to longitude.

Hi. I'm an ameture blacksmith and have been studying metallurgy for the past couple decades in an attempt to make better tools next year than the ones I made last year. There's one thing keeps eluding me... I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction or adjust my world-view. According to all of the books, carbon atoms are supposed to be able to fit into the interstitial space in the middle of an austenite crystal cell. This is an FCC cell, so the biggest interstitial should be equal to 0.414 times the atom diameter. I find iron diameter numbers ranging from 248 pm to 280 pm. This would give interstitials ranging from a bit less than 103 pm…

what well be required to warp space and or time, and how much of an area would be affected by the "warping"

I have decided to make a poster for a conference that I will be attending soon. I have the paper that I want to 'posterise' ready and have some idea of what I would like to say. However, in pure mathematics posters are not very common. Applied mathematicians seem to have been using posters for a while to communicate science, less so theoretical physicists, mathematical physicists and pure mathematicians. I guess the lack of colourful plots of the numerical results does not help. Simply putting up pages of calculations will not do, so I know I need to define the problem, tell the story of how we tackled it and then summarise the results. I will try to minimise de…

If you have an undergraduate degree in metallurgy you can find employment as a metallurgist, similarly with chemistry. However trying to find employment as a physicist without a PhD is next to impossible. So my question is if you only have a Bachelor of Science in physics could you be considered a physicist or do you need a PhD first?

hi, does any electron in an atom is in accelerated motion?

I don't think I'm misusing theory at all. Theory is a probability of truth, not truth itself. That probability is weighed by human reasoning, which is fallible. As a general rule, the more theory involved in a concept the higher the probability for a flaw in human reasoning. Evolution has a fairly high probability of being correct for example, because its scope is very limited or focused. We also have very specific evidence that is tangible. It is a single theory based largely on hard tangible evidence. I would personally give it very near a 100% probability. Where something like the Big Bang stands though is entirely different, because the entire concept is b…

Are they the same thing? tree just like mold on the bread but grows depends on the object size?

Is there such a thing as, a limit to a book producible by man? There are 26 letters in the English-alphabet, because the alphabet is countable, wouldn't it mean that there will be a limit to how many letter arrangements can be produced for a given letter count? if that is true then wouldn't it be the same for sentences with a given word count? Also, if you where to compose using a piano that has x keys and then giving restrictions to time, the amount of keys that can be played simultaneously and the pacing then wouldn't it also mean that there would be a limit to how many musical pieces that can be created due to its finite constrictions? If the above are true…
