  1. Is there any relation between autism and bipolar disorder ?
  2. What causes favorable mutations in the human genome ?
  3. Can emotions be quantified ?
  4. Is the fact that light is a transverse wave a result of the fact that all photons travel with the same speed ?
  5. What implications do the relative velocity of photons have ?
  6. Are humans GIGO objects ?. I think not. They spew nonsense even when inputted sense......
  7. Karoshi is death from overwork... Leads to the inevitable....
  8. Why do some people spend hours at work. It is observed that people with Asperger's syndrome are workaholics. Is work an attribute of the mind? In fact, in Japan, work related suicides (karoshi) are said to be not uncommon.
  9. Is there a relation between charity and the brain's dopamine reward system ? Why is it that some of the super-rich and the best philanthropists ?
  10. Red wine is a source of polyphenols. Green tea is analogous. Colored capsicum have identical properties. Is there a relation between color and antioxidants ?
  11. I have programmed in C, C++, VB(classic), VB.net and C#.net. All great languages and enjoyable to work with. Last 9 years in C#.... still learning....
  12. Is there a cap on the number of elementary particles ? I think not. By varying the energy of collisions the types of particles change and the list is almost endless.
  13. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Void_(astronomy) http://www.space.com/3879-loner-black-holes-lurk-cosmic-voids.html
  14. Is there a possibility that the Universe is perpetually expanding ? I think that after the initial impetus of the big bang where matter was distributed progressively, gravitation between the different sub-components of the Universe (like globular clusters) determines how the Universe will pan out. (much like Plasticine). When interactive forces become very small voids are created which are either worm holes or black holes, implying the creation of new "universes". This process can continue perpetually. The semantics of the word "Universe" are open to debate.
  15. Assume that an electron and a positron were emitted as part of the big bang on parallel trajectories. I conjecture that they cannot propagate independently ad infinitum. Here's why : 1) Infinite momentum and hence infinite parallelism is not possible 2) There is a component of the attractive force that continues to act on the particles through their trajectories. 3) Space time is curved and particles on a geodesic would end up meeting in curved space. Hence all such mutually antagonistic pairs would end up annihilating each other.
  16. Will the emitted radiation and / or particles change if say two neutrons are collided inside an accelerator at different speeds ? eg) 0.95 c versus 0.99c
  17. What is the closest proximity that electrons and positrons can co-exist without annihilating ?
  18. Have you heard of the adage "delay defeats equity". Mathematically a delay is a negative event and a succession of such events actually is interpreted as an endorsement of status quo. Now do you see my point ?
  19. Different people socialize at various levels. Some instantly make friends, others need some special interest group to stimulate their minds. The "threshold" term I have introduced above implies the effort required to thaw an individuals seclusion when placed in a group. Alcoholics and drug abusers are usually depressed and dependent on external dopamine fixes and this makes them cold and aloof, with a high threshold. Socialites on the other hand have a low threshold.
  20. I opine that something exists called as the socilaization threshold. People with a high threshold resort to substance abuse to gain social acceptability.
  21. "Too many sequential wrongs make a right"...... Events are essentially random (quantum) eg) 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 However when the same event recurrs consistentially, the model changes from quantum to deterministic. eg) 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 This is even if the event has "negative" connotations. What is wrong or right then becomes a matter of perspective.
  22. If the ear is treated as a decoder and the input logic is changed music transmutes to noise and vice versa.
  23. Canines have a much broader range of audio frequencies. I wonder how Bach might appeal to them (noise maybe).....
  24. Your model of TV is circa 1960..can I hear some static.
  25. Maybe if you superimposed multiple noise waveforms and introduced an appropriate sampling rate you would get music.
