I hope he didn't have to wear it to school before he got it transplanted. Kids can be kinda cruel. In the future morality would he need to wear pants on his arm in public? Just aman

I'm just spending a lot of able time reading and absorbing. I envy ya youngsters and healthy oldsters. When people find out learning is the most fun of all, then life flows naturally from then on.I bought some property for my wife and I when I got disabled so I've been playing archeologist, botonist, and entemologist. It'll keep me busy this year. Keep studying. Just aman

I watched Men In Black yesterday again and when Tommy Lee Jones tells Will Smith "A person is intelligent, people are stupid", I think he hits the nail on the head. Just aman

It's possible the only reason the feeling is in the brain is because it is behind overstressed eyes. I travelled in the Colombian Andes once having to go without sleep for five days. I probably in delerium slept for instants sitting or standing at the end but kept a briefcase safe through my travels and weapons ready. It helped that I'm 6'5" and it seemed I was in the land of munchkins. No offense to the natives about them being smaller. It was just a psych advantage and maybe my imagining it helped me survive. But the thing is I actually went from a Monday morning till a Friday late afternoon travelling and working nonstop without drugs other than coffee and still dealt with some snafus on the end. After that I slept over 24 straight hours. I remember the travel but I have no idea what happened for the next few days after I woke up. Strange but it's a first hand experience and I hope some a ya find it useful. Just aman

It makes sense that nuclear power will be primary for a while on Mars. Since Mars has weather and dust problems, that may complicate our ordinary reliance on solar power. I imagine we'll have a lot of bugs to work out to get dependable solar generators going large scale. Just aman

Since 1990 there have been detections of cosmic rays arriving with energies over 10E20 eV. At present less than a dozen have been detected that are undisputed but astrophysicist Bob Streitmatter, leader of the high-energy cosmic radiation group at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland says the Earth surface is struck about one strike per square mile per century. The latest detectors search for the cascade effect in the atmosphere as the energies carom to the ground. At ground level the cascade is estimated to be about 50 ft wide by a couple feet thick moving near the speed of light. I know these energies are something we still can't come near producing in our best accelerators and they are extremely rare, but what happens to some poor shmuck who happens to be walking along if he crosses paths with one? Any ideas physically short term or long term medically? Just aman

The reason I started this thread is to fish for some other abstract ideas on how the universe is built. We have ideas and rules about our observable universe and they change all the time around the edges. I'm just saying that if I wanted to build this universe, I would need unlimited energy, memory, and some sort of program. The universe seems to have these. Maybe a self-evolving program could control the beginning "super-particle" until it evolved into a holographic universe. Just for thought, and nice music over there alt_f13 Just aman

Can't we just inject firefly juice into plastic walls and light our surroundings? Just aman

If you move matter back in time, it winds up in a totally different space since the universe is moving according to our measurements so far. To move back in time to a particular point in space-time the "bucket effect" would overflow, but just to move back in time would cause a stream of duplicate matter flowing into space behind our Earths trajectory through the universe.

Thanks for your help. I am a 1 PC house and am just doing the best I can on SSDI so it has to be free. I got Norton for my anti-virus but it expired and I haven't re-upped for this year for all its updates. Instead I got free AVG anti-virus. It's slow but gets free updates and I use it once a week. Is there something better you might recommend? Just aman

We have a lot of humans that know there is water there. They astral project and go see it and I'm sure even have a site that will tell you about it. Real science though projects that the mass of Europa and its gravity effects from Jupiter should create substantial core heating and on some level below the surface maintain a viable water zone. Just aman

One of the problems with Europa exploration is we need to send an extremely clean probe. If we contaminated Europa with a microbe strong enough to survive the trip, then it could wreak havoc. If a human went there, we couldn't insure sterility. Not yet. I hope we find life there and never plant life there by accident. Just aman

A few of my friends on computers told me to check my computer security on a site run by some TV PC guy. It's at this site here It's free software called shields up and when I first went there they only tested computers and I failed. I went to ZoneLabs.com and they have free software called ZoneAlarm which I now use. Since then they now offer software free at shields up and I don't know which would be better or which I should use I now pass the previous test and am invisible. Still the ZoneAlarm in the past week has stopped over 2000 attempts from the outside to connect with my PC. This is the first time I have had a decent firewall. I'm still a novice so could I be doing this better?. If I can let me know, If not I hope you all find this usefull at protecting yourselves.:flame: Just aman

Thanks for the info all in one place. Saves a lot of time to have so many constants available without an extended search. Have a great day too. Just aman

I actually would like the top position at the British Observatory, and Institute of Physics, and be addressed by the name Mr. God, but I'm just humbly a man and so past 42, still capable of running a piece of crap like California. My campaign slogan, "But it's really great crap". I'll win by 42 votes. Just aman

Live to be 42 and after that it's gravy. I was almost handsome as I am now when I was 42 and not quite as wise but if I'da stopped then my wife woulda had tons of life insurance and benefits. Now that I'm older my life insurance is cancelled. 42, I agree, Yah 42. But more is mo better. Just aman

It seems the internet has bred a lot of interesting phenomena that future psychologists will have fun analyzing. The Star Wars Kid phenomena lately is really blowing itself all out of proportion and here is something else that might be new to some of you. I stumbled on it and thought it very creatively played. Possibly the best dumb blonde joke in the world. [http://forums.teamphoenixrising.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14756] Is this some kind of psychological creative art that shows some of us are still growing? I thought it was creative. Just aman

It's good to see you all again and I appreciate help since I have to familiarize myself with the new format. I'm glad yer still around Faf, I heard they had all the UM students in jail but I guess they let you back out. Shouldn't all try for those football scholarships. The Starchild skull seems to be legit according to all the elimination of natural causes. I liked the arguments but they are one sided. Where are the project Blue Book people now. In this information age we just might be able to find out enough pieces to put a puzzle together. Is there a medical reason for a skull to be this deformed? Just aman

A lot of our fastest advances in technology like in Nazi Germany come with the sacrifice of morality for speed. I'm sure there was a point in our atomic technology that we knew radiation was harmful but didn't tell or protect workers. People were expendable but it's not so bad if they don't get sick until you don't need them anymore. The East Asian area is a technological spearhead and also an enviromental disaster. Slow development would be good for health but but bad in competition with others so The Nazis only showed that the less care for people and resources, the faster ideas can be made into reality. It's not an example of anything good. Just aman

Has anybody got an explanation for the structure of the skull found in Mexico called the Starchild. I read the last DNA tests were inconclusive as to its degree of human traits. It sure looks like a bug eyed ET and the scientific investigations on it seem to be valid, or is it just a big hoax. Just aman

There are a few good optical illusions on Grand-Illusions.com that help understand how eyes and brains can be fooled. The eye processes and refreshes near a limit of 24 times a second and that is why we start seeing the black flicker between frames of film at that speed or slower. Flourescent lights strobe at 60X sec so we see a continious light. Popular science ran a few examples on optical illusions and explanations in the last few months. Just aman

Since we have so little actual microcosmic and macrocosmic data to use we are stuck with pretty much pure speculation. I could guess that an absolutely infinite empty universe would need energy to maintain its boundries like a bubble and if it popped would become a condensed droplet or a big bang on the cosmological scale. Two empty universes bumping could pop and do the same thing, condensed energy. If I had had an advanced technology I could inject an amount of energy into an empty universe and code it to build a fertile ground for life evolving. It's hard to know exactly what was the source of our beginning but it's easy to imagine many. Scientificaly I think I will wait until we break the microcosm barrier a great deal farther before I even start to endorse an explanation. Look to the microcosm for clues. Just aman

If you consider dimensions you need to look at the infinities. Infinite length, width, depth, time, direction, size, phase, etc. Existance can be quantisized in packets we are able to experience or the true incredible largeness of all its aspects. We experience four with our senses, but realize more that we can't experience exist. We know that our solid hands are an illusion of energy in a stable matrix of atoms and molecules and fields. We realize in a flourescent lit room we are spending a great deal of time in absolute dark between strobes. Entropy is a law we experience in our slice at this moment but I am open to the idea that like lately with gravity and other laws we may find exceptions soon. Just for thought. Just aman

I imagine a guy on a surfboard on the edge of the big bang riding the wave to the edge of our 14 billion year old universe. I can imagine that a small amound of time has passed for him as he has travelled at C velocity except for the little drag that has slowed his board a little deeper in the wave. For The surfers time its been an instant. For us slowed in the wave it is 4 billion years. Maybe near the beginning time is near infinite? I have to ponder this a little more since I just reread all this post. Thanks Blike. Just aman

Since we have documented evidence of experiments in telepathic communication that defy the statistics of chance, maybe the first flag of sentience would be telepathic rather than radio. If an advanced civilization wnted to zero in on sentience it might start with early mammals and bursts of grief from the loss of young being broadcast in an unidentified spectrum from our Earth. Radio and technology come a great deal later but a search for sentience might better be persued by a better understanding of our minds. The bottom of the sea exists, the edge of the universe exists, and smaller than a quark exists. The range of our thoughts is infinite and maybe we can actually reach there. Somebody might have started listening as soon as a first mammal grieved. Just for thought. Just aman
