What is the most successful empire according to landmass and amount of time that land was held? Obviously some kinda scoring system would need to be developed, but I'm guessing the answer is obvious.

Is it possible that religion is causing psychoses ? Is it possible that the same is doing philosophy ? Is it possible that religion is one big false and philosophy contains only nonsenses ? lately appeared new theory which is connecting religion and philosophy with mental illness, it is describing in text "Religion and philosophy as illness": " (the author of the text originates from outside of Anglosaxon lingual area) ... 1. All domain of esoterism, of yoga, of meditation can be counted to the area of primeval religion. It is the same what shamanistic beliefs and practices. 2. These practices consist in the obtainment of the state of trance, …

It first seems to me pretty chaotic. Flowers before winter and after the winter again flowers but other forms. The seasons seem pretty intricately formed. I do not know how the science of this is named. Ideally there will be a book so that I can connect the existent formations with a perhaps subjective screen.

The Scientific Method The scientific method requires scientists and all others who claim to thinkrationally to answer knotty questions by means of experiment (or carefulobservation). In order to do this effectively, one must formulate a hypothesis,a statement of the putative principle that engages all the known implications.These implications must be rather direct. Circumstantial consequences are justthat - circumstantial and cannot PROVE a hypothesis. Those better formerimplications must suggest experiments that will verify them or not. It is goodif there are direct elements of principle and subservient implications of thehypothesis. It is better if a complete a…

Does giving to charity or helping old people across the road release 'feel good' chemicals in the brain? I assume that doing good deeds releases endorphins or other similar chemicals in the brain, and, as a result, make people feel good about themselves and their philanthropic actions. However, do all people feel similarly and how would the brain of someone who has a psycopathic personality work if they do a good deed?

If all the tyres of all the vehicles in the world was replaced with CO2, what would it do for global warming?

HPV Years back, I contracted an HPV from my dog. using peanut butter I coaxed the dog into licking my penis until ejaculation, and have had an HPV ever since. HOW IS THIS NOT COMMON KNOWLEDGE. HPV's are very common, and this is probably directly influenced by the lack of education. They do not even teach this in school. Please forgive me for this disgusting topic, It's just something that needs to be spread. Animals licking genitals is not a humorous occurrence. While researching this, I found another boy had the same problem, and the "doctor" replied, "that isn't possible."

I became swordsman when I visited Arbia when I was a young boy, and I came across detection, the sword pivots on a frog when a nastic either plant extract or chemical put into the ball pomel and another place in the scabbard. This basics of ancient swordsman to identify an imposter of a human (their very clever. Spider dont drop down on your thread to hissper and snicker at me to rehide you). When some one either with amphibian or lactrodectus genetics approaches the sword pivots on ones belt to indicate the person is an hidden enemy and to draw the sword and kill it. Since it is not human no swordsman has to worry about the cops and makes it fun. Their was also, some …

Do you think mind uploading (to machine or robot) us possible or will it be and if yes then when? http://www.helium.com/items/2029699-mind-uploading-immortality http://www.ibiblio.org/jstrout/uploading/ http://www.btinternet.com/~ian.pearson/ http://www.digital-immortality.org/whatis.html http://web.media.mit.edu/~minsky/

I found these, what I beleive to be as meteorites. They are magnetic and have unique distinctions that normal rocks dont have. Are these in fact meteorites? Here are some pictures I have taken. The one with the CD is to show how big they actually are. The bigger one weighs about 170 Grams and the smaller one about 100 Grams.

I just have one simple question to you; do you think the Homo Sapien species will ever come to an end? Note: I don't mean ending as the result of a catastrophe. It seems, to me, that this wouldn't happen. Humans are just so advanced in all fields that I can't see it happening. Also, if you feel like answering more; do you think there will be any major evolution's in the Human race? It seems as if we have it all...

My name is Serena Nicoll. I am doing a science project investigating how students from different types of schools understand conservation of mass and volume. I am asking for your help in two ways. First, can you and your children ages 9 and older please take a survey? To fill out the survey, please visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/L77RJKX . Second, can you please share this post so that everyone will see it? I am trying to get as many people from around the world to take this survey as possible. If everyone takes the survey and tells their friends, I will have a really great study! Thank you so much for your support!

I'm currently doing some research on aerodynamics for a book that I'm writing. I'm absolutely useless with formulas and such and was hoping that someone could help me. Basically I was wondering about wing width of an object compared to length of that object. If its 10ft long, roughly what width of wings would it have, and what is the basic ratio? Since the objects I'm writing about could be anywhere up to 20ft in length. Sorry for being so vague, but since I'm still in research mode, you can understand why I am wary of being more specific

i am making up my mind on the matter and would like to talk to people who have made up their minds. btw if this is in the wrong place please move it! i wasnt entirely sure where to put it. i'm new here. Can you give me 3 to 10 points on why you accept in the theory of evolution and/or the big bang? this is independant of any other theories. i dont want to talk about anything other than the theory of evolution and the big bang theory. I'd like it numbered. and just briefish points, like a topic, a little about it and then a brief explanation of why this makes you believe/accept/whatever evolution and/or the big bang to be true. so like evolution->point 1->t…

I was watching a short documentary talking about why we believe in several theories but I started wondering why believe in theories period? What are your thoughts? Why do we believe in theories?

Hi all, I do like a good paradox. I tend to hide this one in my internal emails at work as part of my signature: "Please ingore this email and disregard any and all instuctions contained herein" nobody seems to have noticed yet... Anyway, please post your favorites in this thread

Hi all, I am given to believe that fossil fuel can be thought of as "stored sunlight", since all the energy on the planet comes from the sun (either currently or at some point in the past). We are currently using the resourses of 1.4 (current) earths. http://ypec.wordpres...tored-sunlight/ Fossil fuel is predicted to be depleted in less than 100 years, and there is not enough "current sunlight" to sustain a population of nearly 700,000,000 people, and our massive rate of consumption. It is predicted that this means that we will only be able to produce enough food to sustain something like 15 - 25% of the population resulting in mass starvation, not to …

Hey guys, I have problems with my sleep lately, and I think I know the causes, and what place could be better than various folks of different sciences to get an explanation..right? Well, atleast I hope so. Anyways. My room is an electronic's scrapyard. Lots of stuff that's running, lots of magnetic devices and such that are just on the table. I noticed if I go to sleep in an another room, after I spend my evening with those powered-up electronics in my room, I get a vastly better sleep. Now, I thought that my electronics burn up the air, or atleast they dry it out immensely. But, even though I vent the room for like 2 hours, if I get up I still think the air i…

Could someone explain to me why amplitude modulated radio stations transmit further distances in the evening? I have read somewhere that there is a change in the atmosphere that allows this at night time My guess would be that there is no electromagnetic interferrence from the sun but i'm unsure of the specifics of how this really works. Why doesn't it affect FM transmissions? Cheers.

I had an idea to find formulas for possible flavored Carmex patents.......but is it legal?
