  1. "I want to experience something paranormal. Ideally, I would want to get abducted by space aliens, as long as I can be awake and view the whole thing, even at the price of them killing me in the end. But, I would also accept meeting deities and supernatural entities, or time-traveling or going to different dimensions. I would also like to become immortal and have god-like powers via supernatural means (since science can't do this as yet)." I honestly don't think this is the right place to be asking, Chinese Love. Most people here do not subscribe to such beliefs, if I may be allowed to speak for us all in this matter.

    Meyers-Briggs

    Looks like IN's are popular... which makes sense, I guess. Sciency types.

    Meyers-Briggs

    Oh, I'm sorry, I did a search, but for Myers Briggs, not MBTI. Sorry, my bad!
  4. Someone posted the "life number" poll not too long ago, and it seemed a lot like pseudo-science, but I am now wondering how we would all fit into the Meyers-Briggs type test, something that has more support in the psychologist community (whether or not psychology is pseudo-science is something I won't get in to...). If you don't know about it, there's an explanation and the test. There's only enough room for 15 poll options, and there are 16 types, so I combined ESFP and ESFJ because I thought that those would be the ones with the fewest people here . I'm INTJ. Only 2.1% of the population, yeah baby! I'm betting we will have a lot of 'T's and a lot of 'I's.
  5. Some kind of personality are accurate, though. Look at the Meyers-Briggs, 16 different types or personalities. That's not much more than the horoscope 12 (sounds like the name of a rock band), and apparently, its a good judge.
  6. Hmm... I thought I saw a proof that 0/0 was undefined or something. I'm not sure, but it went something like this: 0/0=a/b. Multiply both sides by 0. Since 0 times anything = 0, the equation is satisfied for all values of "a" and "b." Therefore, 0/0 can equal anything and everything. I'm not sure if that made sense. I may be making a feat demonstrating my stupidity. Oh well.
  7. Actually, depending on the difference of the prescription and how long you wear them, I think there can be some negative side-effects, ranging from minor headaches, to the creation of a lazy eye. Because your pupils are in a different location than your friends, the center of the lens which focuses the light correctly is in a slightly different place. Although I am no optician, I think this can eventually lead to your eye being 'pulled' off to one side as it tries to look at the best place. This only happens if you wear them a long time though. For three or four hours a day a couple times a week, there shouldn't be a problem. Still, to be on the safe side, I would invest in a pair of glasses. Maybe you could buy the lenses in the same shape as his frames and switch them when you need to wear them.
  8. What about Space Sails? Those don't exist, but they are theorized, where a truely gigantic sail of some sort is erected to catch the solar "wind." Hard to get started, and I don't think it works well way from stars, but it is an idea.
  9. Is it possible or would it be possible to include the Debate and Project forum into the opening page of the home? Like, so recent posts in the debate and project forum would be listed as well as the ones in all the other forums. I think that would help get both of those going more than they are now, and I would like to see those be more active.

    Entropy

    Sorry for asking a dumb question, but what are these "stages" you are talking about?

    Oil and Water

    I'm not positive, but I think the expirement was run inside Skylab.

    Oil and Water

    I was told by my chem teacher that oil and water are immiscible because water was polar and oil was non-polar, so that water molecules were attracted to each other, and forced the oil molecules up between the gaps. This is the "like dissolves like" rule of thumb. However, in Skylab, it was discovered that ordinarily immiscible substances became miscible in microgravity. How does this fact relate to the one above?
  13. Hmm...although thats true, it would be hard to find anything better than "lawl i heart computers." I mean, its possible, but it takes a lot of time to shift through the crap to find the good stuff. At least, it does for me. Print materials work better, I think. Do you have any good sites? You can do the crap-shifting for us!
  14. Is this tidal locking theorized, or do we have actual examples of this? "Once the earth becomes tidally locked to the moon, they will face each other with no relative rotation, " What? So the moon would not orbit, but would rather stay over the same spot on the earth? Like a geosynchronous satellite? Funky...
  15. Hi. I was reading a book recently, and it mentioned the Kuiper Belt, a big cloud of asteroids around the solar system, similar to the asteroid belt, but farther out. I was wondering what the difference was between this Kuiper Belt, and the Oort Cloud. There was a description in the book (Worlds Without End by John S. Lewis) but it didn't really explain much to me.
  16. Just out of curiosity, (I'm afraid I'm a bit of an elephant's child) do you know if there are varying degrees of 'strength' of empaths? I hate to reduce it to such sci-fi, pokemon terms, but is it the case that, two empaths, faced with the same person, might feel the person's emotions with varying degrees of clarity? Also, I have been reading this thread and surfing the net in my spare time (mostly at work) and I've noticed a trend that most if not all empaths have had some sort of emotional trauma early on. This may be a chicken-egg scenario (after all, this trait seems to cause emotional trauma on its own) but it is still an interesting idea. Also, many self-proclaimed empaths I have spoken with have said that anti-depressants, and other such medications lessen this trait in them. Is this true? Is it is, it may point to a neuro-transmitter being the cause of it, partially at least, as an imbalance in such chemicals are often what anti-depressants 'fix'.
  17. Hi. For my math class, our teacher gives an assignment which entails finding a website about a subject that we have studied sometime during the semester, and writing a summary/evaluation for it. Since we have done a fairly new outlook on conic sections, one that has actually made them passably interesting, I was hoping to find an interesting website on them. Does anyone have an suggestions? Something along the lines of uses of conics, conics in 4+ dimensions, conics in hyperbolic space, or something else thats a new take on conics. Thanks for your help!
  18. I sneakily suspect Bettina might disagree. Want to join in here, Bee?
  19. However, it brings up interesting points. Actually, one. How many vestigial structures ARE there in humans? Many which used to be considered vestigial are not any longer.
  20. Are you talking about vestigial structures in humans? If so, isn't the tailbone one? And the apendix?
  21. What with the recent support for the neutrino mass, even if it is very very small, I was wondering if this gives us enough mass in the universe to close it. I think closed is the right term, when there is enough mass in the universe to have the expansion of the universe slow down and reverse because of the pull of gravity. I thought we had like, 85% of the mass necessary to have such a universe. Does the neutrino mass give us any?
  22. "sarcasm?" Just a bit...
  23. Well, it seems to me that, aside from all the, excuse me, bull shit, an indigo child is one who is very smart, and acts diffrently than others. Such attributes are amazingly rare, I know.
  24. Its a philosophy movie, not a science movie. As long as people don't confuse it as such, its fine. What bothers me is that people will inevitably confuse it. It should come with a warning "5 out of 5 real physicists agree that the movie is complete crap, on a mathematical level."
  25. "said it WASNT green, so the gas wasnt chlorine" Isnt chorine gas colourless?
