I agree with your above statement, morality needs to be in check always, otherwise we would have horrific scientific experiments etc... What I was trying to convey is that scientific data all points toward world wide human extinction unless something is not done EXACTLY the way scientists have figured out to prevent it. Politicians are not educated enough to make these types of decisions, scientists are.

They are failing to listen to the imperical data provided by many scientists world wide. Pollution, global warming, overpopulation, and other catastrophic consequences will take place if they are not addressed in realistic way, and the result will be human extinction.

Politicians need to start listening, or be made to listen to scientific data. Think about it for a second, its like allowing a young man (politician) to drive a car off of a cliff killing all passengers inside, while the older adult (scientist) was powerless to stop him because the kid choose not to listen to his warnings. Serriously speaking scientists understand what changes need to be done in order to secure the human race from eventual extinction. If we continue to let the politicians make the laws and not the scientists, then the human race is destined for extinction.

On second thought forget the intelligence part, I dont think Solenopsis Invicta the size of rats would need any intelligence to cause the extinction of mankind, we are doing a good enough job at that already. What they would do is push humanity into doing something really ignorant such as poisoning ourselves to death or something allong those lines. Eventually they would take over the world, but only after humanity had handed it to them. "take over" is the act or an instance of assuming control or management of or responsibility for something, especially the seizure of power.

People need to start thinking of the world as 1 single liveing entity as opposed to the most popular ideaology of "whats yours is mine and whats mine is mine." Modern transportation makes it possible to travel anywhere (world wide) in less then 24 hours. So a person that brings back with him a highly contageous (fast killer) virus, you forget about finding a cure, its "hosta lavista" humankind.

The brain requires huge ammounts of protein to develope, chimps eat vegetation for the most part but when they do get meat occasionaly they go into super selfish mode and become very hostile. I think we need to start feeding chimps more meat, then you will see... In about a million years or so.

Solenopsis Invicta Clone me a queen the size of a rat, and ile show you an army that could bring the world to its knees in 5 years. A queen produces a colony of over 200,000 stinging ants per mound and hundreds of queens each summer. The mounds would be over 1,000 feet tall and cover an area equal to the size of europe.

I have never seen an extraterrestrial from another planet but that doesnt mean they dont exist. The government might know about them but I doubt it. Extraterrestrial space ships visiting earth would have nothing to gain in contacting us, humanity is paranoid, violent, and ignorant. I believe the 1st requirement for a species to survive long enough to advance beyond the elementry level of human scientific understanding would be for them to resequence their genome and throw away any agression and greed, then replace it with pure reason. Humanity is so ignorant, they are overpopulateing, depleating, and contaminateing the earth to no end. According to Steven Hawking if our planet continues to overpopulate the earth as it does, then the ammount of energy that will be needed to support the human race in the next 700 years will be so great the earth will glow red hot like the sun.

What makes galaxies spin? Why so much empty space between galaxies? Are all galaxies as old as the "big bang?" Do galaxies live forever?

An army of ants, that can think.. Would they take over the world?

Humanity will eventually come to and end because of... overpopulation, disease, starvation, war, nuclear destruction, politics, greed, other, or all the above.

Meat Personally I think it was the meat, our brains require large ammounts of protein and it was when we first started eating lots of meat that our brains began to develop higher reasoning faculties. I think harris had the right idea.

Actually NASA currently funds a development team that studys the possibilities of faster then light travel. They hypothesize that antimater reactors or worm holes might hold a key in getting us to the other side of the galaxy. Pure speculation at this point, but they seem to agree that it is worth looking into.

Yes the four known forces; gravity, electromagnetism, strong force, and weak force. Gravity is the force acting between all mass in the universe and has infinate range, electromagnetism is the force that acts between electrically charged particles and has infinite range, strong force is the force that binds neutrons and protons together and is short range, and weak force is the force that causes beta decay and is short range. These four known forces came into existance (or perhaps even before) just seconds after the "big bang". The resulting explosion ejected matter into six basic directions, (up, down, left, right, foward, backward) resulting in six seperate dimensions. Each of the six directions push outward creating spacetime and seperate dimensions with unique patterns of matter and energy. Each direction defineing its opposite.

The general idea is that you can increase the physical dimension of a given object by adding to its total mass. If too much mass is added then its own gravitational force crushes it reduceing the size. Total mass remains the same but now you just lost your size. However my original deffinition of size is "the physical extent or dimensions of anything", hat being said, size is not limited to just mass and energy but anything that can be observed as haveing a dimension. As always I welcome ideas, hypotheses, and theorys.
