Competition would quickly put an end to the least efficient systems.

if life arose in this manner' date=' then would there not be billions of different types of life(not species, types)? like cells that don't use DNA or RNA, but something else all togather.[/quote']

 

In addition to what Sayo said, Mutation, Natural selection and Genetic Drift does not agree with you there.

Forgot to add this: Organisms that are highly specialized, do not last very long outside of the condition, environment - niche - that they are so custom tailored to. Meaning there HAS to be some sort of a mechanism that will enable them to differentiate and adapt to new environments. Otherwise they will go extinct once removed from their niche or a new element is introduced to it, etc.

I found nothing for the above mentioned theory on the site so hopefully this thread won't be like almost all of my other ones and someone might be able to shed some more light on this.

 

Defying Einstein with a Twist

 

Einstein's special theory of relativity strictly forbids anything from traveling faster than the speed of light. A quantum mechanical Bell telegraph, however, may defy this prohibition with a twist -- literally.

 

The so-called up and down "spin" states characteristic of quantum particles would substitute for telegraphic dots and dashes. Spin is a particle's intrinsic angular momentum and may be visualized as a left or right-handed rotation -- or twist -- about an imaginary axis.

 

In theory, a Bell telegraph could send an instant signal from a particle on Earth entangled with a second particle on a planet light years away -- a special configuration called a "Bell state."

What are your thoughts on this?

Is this bell telegraph able to break the speed of light?

Star Wars

Their 'The New Jedi Order' twist is exceptionally brilliant.

I'll ask him where he got those definitions, too.

Why?

My interests are in the spiders, so I have a few sites for them.

I'll look around though.

Here's another nice read for ya:

Flight or Fight/Adrenaline rush

From what I understand, you are right Alt_f13.

It's still way funny as hell

I do.

bad idea?

 

Many british citizens are feeling that USA is just using the british support for their political purposes and not listening to any of the suggestions/worries.

Are you saying that we're not?

C'mon man, everybody needs a scapegoat

Don't PM an admin because your post vanished.

Heh, "Absolute power, corrupts absolutely"

Does stripping pay better than the national guard?

If you're commissioned, then the Service will pay more.

If you're enlisted (grunt/paper pusher/cook,etc), then usually Stripping pays more.

Since we don't have an official Anthropology section, I think this question is better posted here plus I want an extra benefit of a debate.

While at this time, I do not want to participate in the debate myself(unless I need to - don't want to bias my own question ) I would like to see a debate on the following issue between our members here.

--------------

College tuition is expensive, if one is going even for a Bachelor's degree in any particular subject. It is even more expensive if one goes to a private school or a highly specialized school eg: Medical School, Law School, etc.

Students who choose to strip (male or female) at a local bar (or participate in a porn movie) in the same town they go to school and plan to practice/work in after their degree, as a means of paying their tuition, what personal morals and professional obligations should they keep after they graduate? Should they be able to practice medicine on say one of their ex-patrons whom he/she have just recently gave a lap dance to?

{edit}

damnit, can someone correct the title of this thing.

Sheer stupidity.

The good thing is that the four nimrods are(or soon will be) out of the gene pool

Yahooooooooooooo!

My email notifyers have been fixed.

Who ever did that, thanks

While we're on the subject of pseudoscience, or better yet Mythology, perhaps Plato meant that it was hovering Over Ireland, or something? (I'm thinking Star Wars technology here)

Here's is a nice paper that might shed some more light:

The coevolution theory of the origin of the genetic code

Good reads.

how do u get to the top _______ lists?

Looks like it's not a metric anymore. Quite frankly, good riddance. Not having that thing should put an end to post whoring.

Awesome. Our very own Chess board.

Who's already registered for it????

Sayo, when you see then, register me for thess pls. Thanks.

By the way, with all this site rearrangement, is that why I no longer receive my email notifiers??

Great job at completely missing my point. *and I thought that the smiley would give it away....oops*.

Since that is comming up pretty soon, what is your favorite cattegory of it?

I myself like everything with the exception of that POS basketball.

Gymnastics, Swimming and Archery are the top priority though in my book.

some of those we use in america like "as well" and "blatantly".

Really? I've never heard of either of them. Who, what, why and where are using the above composition of hieroglyphics?

Well, I was certainly edumaticated by this thread

Pants.

Too tired and too sleepy to even begin wondering what you meant by that.

So I'll just leave it as is.
