Other Sciences

Discussion of science topics that don't fit under any other category.

    Self learning oneself science can be difficult, so I am going to give some quotes of my understanding and I am looking for true or false for answers with corrections please! 1. Centripetal force in isotropic direction attracting matter will create a dense nucleus. 2. Centrifugal force in isotropic direction from a central point of grouping of matter will create a less density of the matter in a x volume of space. I will start with these two to see how my understanding is.

    I want to get some new ideas for concepts that relate to photography. I will start with two of my favorite techniques. My favorite and most important rule is the rule of thirds. If you want to make a picture interesting, then you want it to follow this rule. NEVER place the main subject directly in the center of the frame. If you are shooting portraits, then you will, at best, end up with a pretty mugshot. Imagine a tic-tac-toe that evenly divides your frame. The goal is to try to stay out of the center block. You can organize the viewer's attention by guiding him or her around the frame. This can help you tell a story by managing their attention in sequence. An…

    I hope it isn't a foolish question. What is the farthest down that archaeologists have gone and still found evidence of a civilization? When I read of one site over an older site and sometime a third site beneath that, I wonder. Thank you.

  4. I wonder what the history of the diaper is? How long have humans worn diapers, did the middle ages, egyption, meso-americans, maybe even before homo sapiens? My son has had me wondering this for awhile and I can't find anything about it online.

    Truely falling under the category of "Other Sciences" . . . what do you think? I had PTSD a while back and had to take estrogen. It's why his mastoid processes were so large. I guess we'll call this a military science discussion.

    There is several types of sciences but what if someone wanted to study all of them? Most schools will make you pick a major and a minor and suggest your minor fit your major or compliments it. What if you just wanted to study different sciences? Like Chemistry, psychology, biology, computer science. Science and math can be applied to everything in the world. Why are there no overall science degrees?

  7. There are some people claiming that there is no scientific evidence that suggests that everyone has their own unique fingerprint, which is important for criminal investigations. Is this true? I hope I posted this topic in the right section.

    Do you have any bird friendly buildings around you? What makes them bird friendly? When birds strike windows at great speeds, it’s not because they want to get inside, or are somehow crazy, poisoned or out of their minds on toxic chemicals, but rather its because they see a reflection of an open sky. Most tall buildings in North America have highly reflective windows that trick birds’ vision, and what these creature’ brains perceive as the open sky, is instead a 3/4 inch thick wall of glass. Dead birds liter the sidewalks in big cities. Residential sunrooms and conservatories are equally deadly. Ornilux is ornithologically superior glass which birds percei…

  10. I was wondering if a 3D wire-frame of a person could be used to create a unique ID that could be detected by a holographic scanner and used as a valid proof of identity. This 3D scan could be encrypted with a voice print key (that uses the frequencies most commonly occurring in any individuals speech) to produce a foolproof marker for an individual. The voice print serves as the decryption key. The holographic scanner will re-construct the 3D map of an individual and the concerned person will be asked to speak into a microphone that will sample the individuals speech on the algorithm discussed earlier. This overcomes the possibility of phony ID's and is a …

    Sports Wireless Technology DETAILS A wireless three-dimensional target is on the playing field. A player kicks a ball at the target. OPERATION When the ball contacts the wireless target the target should log a score. The score would then be wirelessly communicated to an electronic scoreboard. QUESTION What wireless technology will log a score when the ball contacts the target but not log a score if a foot or other object, and not the ball, contacts the target. (If a foot, and not the ball, contacts the target it does not score a point). I have explored RFID, Near Field Communications, Arduino, Bluetooth, conductive paint, etc and have not found a solution to my …

  12. Hi, There is now serious speculation that in the next 50 to 100 years, technology would have advanced to the level that space elevators could be constructed, by use of an earth to space tether of maybe very advanced nano ropes that are up to a 1000 times stronger than steel. This idea used to be ridiculed by most of the science community in the past as simply an impossible dream, but now many of them are rethinking the issue,that in the future there would be a serious possibility of developing the advanced technology, to achieve, what was previously believed as laughable science fiction.

  15. I like the way this summary is pulled together. Lots of different issues are summarized, and the focus is broad and data-based. It's called "40 charts that explain the world we live in," and it gives a good sense of where we are, where we used to be, and where we seem to be heading. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/01/15/40-charts-that-explain-the-world/ Here is one of my favorites: What do you think? Anything surprise you, stand out, or cause you concern or joy?

    First off I am 15, so I still have a few years before I go to college. I consider myself smart, and get very high grades in school without even having to try. I think I want to be a scientist and know it would take a lot of work to do so. I am not sure what field I want to be in yet, possibly something with nanoscience(I know that covers many different fields). Some things that interest me are creating new materials or power sources that would allow humanity to access the wealth of resources in space more efficiently and much more economically. Maybe even working on understanding how energy and matter work together and discover new ways of containing anti-matter or…

  17. A relative of mine recently started watching History Channel's "Ancient Aliens" show. Many of my friend's acquaintances and relatives have also been watching the show, and now are completely convinced that everything said in it is true. (Oh, lord.) The show relates religion to our ancestors' technological advancements, architecture, culture, beliefs, rituals, and other aspects of their lives, and convinces the audience that the gods they believe in are in fact, actually aliens, and all the incredible things our ancestors have done and discovered are the work of aliens. When I was having a conversation with my relative, he said, "You know, aliens built the pyramids." …

  18. I have always been told to challenge science and that is how scientist make discoveries. All the ideas to regular teachers in science laugh because they said its not relievant. I have two ideas that I think have some kind of purpose that people don't 1. Forces having a Force I've been told it is impossible for forces to have a force ex. Gravity having the action force of speed (Noob at science) I see that if gravity from a Blackhole is strong enough and fast enough to suck in light the action of gravity must be close to speed of light. I know this might sound rediculous but I think gravity must need the force of speed to exist and to function. Because lets…

    I read somewhere last year that a scientist, for an experiment, made some glasses that turned his vision upside down. Then after about three weeks of weeks of wearing them, his vision switched, and when he was wearing the upside down glasses, his vision was normal. I want to try that experiment. Does anyone have any ways to make them? Thanks Joshua PS, I am doing this no matter what. Even if you peoples say I shouldn't, I still will. I think that it will make life interesting. Doing this endangers my life in no way, so I will do it!!!

    I was looking at this very bad picture from another thread on this Forum. 1 Anyone should know some basic principle of perspective: when a photographer takes a picture horizontally from eye level, the eyes of a person standing upright are approximativaly at horizon level, as shown in the following picture. The rule does not count for the guy in the background: it is a strong indication that it is bad photoshop. 2 If the ground is horizontal all around, all other person standing upright must have his eyes at horizon level, no matter the distance from the photographer. That is because the horizon itself is a line at eye level, by definition. So, if the ground i…

    Guys, today I stumbled upon a very interesting facebook post about 'ancient aliens' (Link: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=682148158492150&set=a.553678744672426.1073741827.537717429601891&type=1&theater). I have seen a few episodes of the 'Ancient Aliens' series on History TV. Some of the unexplained phenomenons like the Nazka Lines, Crop circles, Statues on the Easter Island really confuse me. So, what's your opinion on the 'Ancient Aliens' theory?
