sci-man

why is it that some people act differently online versus in real life. I have a couple friends who like to be the 'villain' of the game if we are playing an RPG and I was wondering why this is. they are all pretty nice people and they hate it when people are mean to others but in the game, they change their personalities and like I stated earlier like to be the villains in games. I'm wondering why this is. Is it just to have a break from being so nice all the time or something else entirely? Any answers would be appreciated.

WTF = Where's THAT from?!?

 

Hmmm... I thought that meant Where's The Flux

HI!!! I'm Sci-Man and I haven't gone to college yet i'm 14 and in 8th grade currently. My favorite areas of science (I don't like just one) are quantum mechanics, biology, chemistry, psychology, and physics. I have a lot of ideas that sorta make sense and I really want to pursue my dreams and become a scientist whose name will go down with all of the other greats. I don't really know what else to say so i'm going to stop now.

oh my, you tricked us...

No, I didn't. or at least if i did I didn't mean to.

hey guys... wow i didn't think that the choose gender option would be removed... I have no idea what to even say. i honestly didn't think this would go that far and so quick. idek what to say anyways just wanted to stop in byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Hi, sci-man here and i was just wondering why there isn't a write your own option for your gender when you make your profile. i understand some people might not be appropriate but non the less i still think it would be a good thing to have. is this a good idea or no? answer the poll

maybe they are coordinates??? 

oh yeah i forgot about that opps... lol

If someone where to use crispr to make a new plant species driving from a tough desert plant that doesn't need as much water as most plants and splices the genes with underwater algae found in the 'Abbisle zone' in the ocean could they also increase the metabolic rate to match the input and output in oxygen and co2 in a human could it work as a rebreather if used properly and contained the correct way this is an idea that I've run by a friend and we've been taking this more seriously than most ideas before it we think that if all goes well we could patent this. i do realize how much the metabolic rate would have to increase to match the breathing of the average human and the nutrients needed to support this plant with the metabolic rate so increased. if anyone could help with this then that would be most appreciated thank you very much- Sci-Man

does anyone know of a model for how much energy it would take (theoretically) to bend space-time and anything else on the subject? - Sci-Man

i was just confused haha

so this would not work then?

or it wont be as powerful as i hoped

What are quarks?

How do they work?

do you think that there is something that makes them up?

oh.

ok so the big bang could have been a random thing that happened and could destroy our universe if it happens again cool.

if someone were to create a perfect-ish hollow sphere that was about a foot wide and was super reflective on the inside and they put a light like an led bulb or something inside of it then closed it what would happen?

my hypothesis is that there would be a lot of heat with the light bouncing around so much. 

what would happen if you increased the size or decreased the size of the sphere its self including the size of the hollow area inside?

thanks for reading and thanks if you comment too!

ok but how could something exsist before anything was made due to TBB

i just wanted to say thank you all for helping me out with this and also that i have decided not to go to nasa or be a navy seal but i will go into a different field of work that involves science

Hi, I'm just wondering how the big bang could have happened if there was nothing before it in the first place? what I'm told happened was this below that is bold and underlined.

The current leading theory states that the universe expanded incredibly rapidly in a very very short space of time, due to a process called cosmic inflation. This theory made some predictions which have since been borne out, eg by some features of the cosmic background radiation, and so it’s a strong, widely accepted theory. That begs the question “Well, what inflated?”, and that is a good question. We’re not quite sure. But, it seems that there was something there before, that dumped a great deal of energy (for some reason), and that triggered a short runaway expansion of a small part of space into the much much larger part of space which made up the very early universe. Then, the inflation chain reaction stopped, and the universe continued to expand just due to the fact that it was incredibly hot and dense, and that’s what hot and dense things do if they’re not contained.

so how could this have happened then if everything came from nothing then it doesn't make sense now does it? So there had to be something but as I stated earlier how could something exist before anything was created??? 

yea 

the dolphin thing was a joke tho haha

I would say a freakish species, certainly not miracle. Would you call Chimpanzees a miracle species? We have greater mental gifts than Chimps, maybe freakishly so, but not miraculously so

yes, I do realize the difference but I just like the word miracle :). also, I meant why is there not another species with us today.

also also dolphins are on the way to revolt against humanity. lol.

This is such bullshit, I live where i can drive to a large game lands area and see adult eastern diamondback rattlesnakes. I have caught enormous rattle snakes, well over six feet long, huge fangs, huge venom glands, and yet living after being bitten even without anti venom is more likely than not.

btw adults can controll the amount of venom ya doof

The upright walking bit indicates that we didn't rely on tree climbing to escape ground living predators. Since we are relatively weak compared to those predators, we must have had some form of defence, and it's likely that it was done by working together in tight groups, with the bigger males wielding weapons as a bunch and working as a team, protecting the young and females as they foraged. Working as a tight team works a lot better with increased brain power, so higher brain power becomes a survival advantage in those circumstances. The same goes for language.

but how would this have happened only for one species with no others near what we can do??? I would like to believe that there would be at least one other that would be near our level. honestly, I think that we were as I stated before a miracle species.

There are 10 kinds of people: those that understand, and those that don't.

I know this isn't the joke thread - though it has become sort of a joke in itself - but there are 10 kinds of people: those who know hexadecimal and F the rest...

this was not meant to be such a big deal with ten pages... but I guess that's what you get when you try to figure out whether or not a supreme being could exist. thanks for commenting!!!

What conclusions have you come to? For future readers, please share some understanding.

i have came to the conclusion that humans are only this way so that we could have the intelligence that we have

thank you guys for helping me with this I understand now.
