  1. Yes. It sounds a good idea in theory. Perhaps it's at the bottom of "political correctness" in schools. But isn't the danger, that it can lead to ridiculous results. For example, I've heard of a newspaper story, about a white kid who asked an Afro-Caribbean kid in the junior-school playground: "Why are you brown - is it because you come from Africa?" Apparently, this innocently inquisitive remark was overheard by a teacher, who raised a hoo-haa. Which led to the white kid's parents getting summoned to a meeting with the school governors, who lambasted the parents for indoctrinating their child with racist attitudes. The story may be apocryphal. Or exaggerated. But I don't like the idea of schools being used as"therapeutic" places. Shouldn't they just be a place where kids learn to read and write, do arithmetic, and acquire some knowledge of history, geography and science? DEKAN - Your very right but the point of this is to stop the ridiculous results and have rational adults who don't let anger fog their judgement, Children would still learn the fundamentals but it would be more of a " lets watch each children find their flaws, fix their flaws and try to see where they will be happiest working in the future" Instead of freaking out and reporting it to the news my theorys states they would have brought the child outside and began explaining what he did wrong at that moment instead of punishing him. BEN BOWEN - I like china and india's systems more than our own but i think we could influence our own cultural freedoms into it. Plus their has been no such elementary education emotional therapy programs like the one I have devised.
  2. If I knew more I would tell you. As far as i know its not an experiment only gathered data that is to be released soon.
  3. Imatfaal, your only feeding the fire. The best you can do is ignore him, I could have proved him wrong with more than one statement but i don't like to belittle people. Satisfaction is not something I feel when its at the cost of others. Although it is to him and being that kind of person means in his mind; he is always right. just ignore him. But thankyou for not jumping to conclusions on my statement and for taking it at face value.
  4. You are very right, I don't consider it unnatural at all. Its still evolution only we have a play in our pressures now. I see some major changes, especially if we ever make it off this planet. Living in a space-ship would greatly influence our evolutionary pressures. I'm not saying lets get rid of emotions and become computers, I'm saying lets teach people at a young age to see something from another persons perspective. Have 2 teachers per classroom on top of valuing our educators more than a business C.E.O. You can't say that anger or your "foolish pride" has never got the best of you, atleast I cant.
  5. Actually humans are wired to recognize a human face, we know this because infants are capable of this. We are born with certain abilities like that. I'm sorry my vocabulary is not up to your standards I'll take it that you did not read everything I wrote? I tried to make it clear that I'm asking why we recognize music differently than other noise and that my own thoughts are only thoughts, I'm not proposing any theories here.
  6. I consider evolution to be the law of nature that applies to everything whether its on the biological or molecular scale.
  7. Our responce to music is different than if we were to hear a random assortment of noise but why? I don't know the answer and can only speculate as to why we respond to music the way we do. Could it be because sound travels in a wave, so when the wave has a pattern and is symmetrical we recognize differently than a random wave? Humans are wired to recognize symmetry and patterns so could this be relevant when we recognize a sound wave? I'm not saying this is why we like music only asking if theirs anything to it and if any of you know why we like music so much.
  8. Most of us are aware that we are tampering with our own evolution more than pressured darwin-evolution itself is. But are their other ways we can alter our own evolution besides medical science and our diet? I think so. One of the major problems we have today is peoples emotions fogging their thoughts and judgement. Plus their subconscious thoughts. What if we turned elementary school into a therapeutic place for children to learn to recognize their emotions and be able to set them aside? I see a much more bright clearer future for a lot of people.
  9. I am trying to get all the theories i can hear about dark energy. What are some you guys have heard? Do you have your own? Personally i don't assume them to be legit but have 2 theories that i think their could be something to. Could dark energy just be an illusion from light traveling faster in-between galaxies? Or could dark energy be something way more complex like other smaller universes attaching to our own in the low gravitational areas between galaxies? Maybe a combination of a few theories? Personally i end up coming to the conclusion of a combination of multiple theories when it comes to big questions like these. Were sapposed to get a big announcement in july about dark energy, i wonder what it could be? I cant wait!
  10. How does it work? From what i understand it still uses the 2nd law of thermodynamics? I can see how it being colder would reduce the half-life and how the "energy" will not dissipate as fast because the molecules are closer together. But wouldn't it take more energy to produce enough cold air sinking to turn a turbine?
  11. When i ask this question many of you will envision the force of gravity, though this is not what i am asking. If everything with mass can exert gravitational force when confronted to another body with mass, is their a proportion for mass to gravitational field? example - for every G of mass their is an F to its gravitational field From what i understand this is heresy because gravity will always have an affect, no matter how far away it is from an object. I'm uneducated in physics having never taken a class although i will in the fall and have taught myself some basics. I'm really asking why this is impossible, not if theirs anything to it. How do we know gravitational fields are infinite?
