  1. Can someone please explain to me why is the sky not lit up with stars?

      there are a finite number of stars, each emitting a finite amount of light, and only a small portion of that emitted reaches earth from any given star, with the portion getting smaller with the distance of the star and the amount of stuff in between. Closer to home, clouds and light pollution prevent you seeing starlight ;)

  4. Do you think it possible to transfer the genes of a rare plant/ animal,crossbreed its genes with a human's and create a hybrid

      To an extent this would be possible, you can easily insert simple genes for bioluminscence (from Vibrio fischeri or fireflies) or flourescence (from various bacteria) into human embryonic stem cells. But it's not legal in any country that I know of.

       

      It would be harder to make a human grow leaves or wings though, if you're thinking of something like that.

      Did you figure this out yet? Some forums are restricted to users with 30 or more posts to prevent spam.

      did you send it in Japanese? I suspect there area good reasons why they don't use liquid nitrogen. One is that they are having trouble getting any resources to the site due to the destruction caused by the tsunami, so sourcing and then shipping in huge quantities of liquid nitrogen is probably impossible right now. And on top of that there's almost certainly a physical reason why it's not the appropriate coolant.

       

      Don't take it personally that they didn't reply -...

      Agreed, home made is always a disappointment. Worth paying for the good stuff!
