what's wrong with the major/minor system?

you'd rather do the same thing over and over than try something new?

astronautical engineering is the major not a course

do you even know what astronautical engineering is? the designing and building of spacecraft. 1 engineering course 6 physics

the reality we are talking about is hundreds maybe thousands of years away.

yes more

wat we would learn if we found similar life+thier metabolic proccesses and genetic material and all the other stuff we already know about earth life = more than we would learn if we found similar life. 1+1=2, not 1

as you quoted most of the courses aren't engineering, they are physics

it's not that it's inconvenient, it's that mony will be different by the time we can explore the universe. it might even be like startrek where there is no money (although i seriously doubt it)

u are forgetting, not only would we learn what we would if we found similar life, but we would learn about thier metabolic proccesses and genetic material and all the other stuff we already know about earth life

for english, "Word Clues" and "Tooth And Nail"

we aren't going to be roaming accross the universe looking for life any time soon, so lets just foreget about money for now. yes, we would learn if we found identical life, but we would learn vastly more if it were different. wat better way to find different life than to look in a different place?

how do you know it isn't possible if you haven't looked. there are OLD programs on the Science Channel that were talking about the life in lava, so take it up with them.

forget about money for now.

lets use an analogy: how much are you gonna learn from 2+x=5 after u did it a few billion times?

Most of the courses for astronautical engineering major are physics, so I'd have to disagree with you there

y look for life that is like us?if we want to learn about life don't you think we should look for other kinds?

u said all amino acids and wat would fall to the mantle. plenty of energy to get life started and all the material in the right place.

and you don't seem to understand that there are microbes lava and permafrost. and other such extremes. there is a multicellular organism that can even live through a nuclear blast.

well, u could talk to them anyway. and by that thinking, I have a bachelor's degree in Astronautical Engineering and I teach Physics and Algebra.

try Fabric of The Cosmos, it came out this year

Appearently he does. If he is a researcher/teacher, then maybe he could talk to Witten or Greene himself.

you just illustrated my point. even if we don't find anything it wouldn't mean its not there. it doesnt even have to be on a planet or moon; it could be on an asteroid or comet.

read The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene

it tells how it does all of that and more. it even has a history of strin/m-theory.

is that better? now it has a warning.

Dark matter and dark energy aren't the same thing. Dark matter is probably planets, asteroid belts, moons, comets, undiscovered black holes, ect.

how doesn't it explain much? it tells y there r three families of elementary particles. it explains what really happens in particle accelerators. it explains where the properties of said elementary particles come from. it even combines quantum mechanics and relativity.

thats not quite analogous, but I'll admit it's close. still, ruling out something because you've never seen anything like it before is stupid.

say an alien race is looking for life and comes to our system. Every terrestrial planet it has seen has had no life. so it passes Earth and goes to Jupiter. That is what JaKiri we should do exept we haven't even looked for life.

I was thinking the same thing about you. I never said that this thread was fact. actually, I said the opposite.

no, its a theory. it is string THEORY.

I didn't say "hey, this is scientific law: cosmologists are wrong"

I just presented a perfectly logical and probably true idea that was attained the same way the theory of relativity was.

thats like if all you see are birds, you assume life can't exist underwater

what do you mean fixed?

who is to say where? wat makes you qualified to say tha life can't exist in a gas giant?

even if we did look and didn't find anything, it wouldn't prove that life can't exist there.
