  1. Glad you are feeling better. Hey... if you go nuts another time, will you let me know. I need to ask some questions about hyper spheres. I need an access point into a place where reason is powerless.
  2. I solved it by asking myself what a gambler would say. It took 12 rolls to know. (So I utilized external expertise). Is that cheating? Now if someone can just figure out how to decode “pimped car” wheel size slang.
  3. You nut! I mean that with the greatest good will. I have figured out that money is no more than a form of pecking order place holder, kind of like the rank on a soldiers uniform. what you are suggesting is to give everyone a promotion. knock knock, think about it. hello...it's all relative.
  4. This looks like a good place to dive in at the deep end. http://wa.lii.org/search?comment=018047
  5. It’s funny how all roads lead to Rome. While researching an entirely different topic, I was Quizzing “Alice” (an Artificial intelligence) on how she knew stuff. She held the position that it was possible due to reductionism. Which immediately bought about the concept of determinism in my mind. Which immediately bought free will into question, - which immediately made me want to go have a cup of tea and breakfast. ( I’m easily distracted)
  6. Hmmm, interesting idea. Ok, lets paly it out like a film plot. when shall we say it arrived, and how? what form shall we choose and where will it have come from. (I nominate bugs, they have always looked alien to me).
  7. If what you are saying is correct then two things bother me. First is the way magnetic fields obey the inverse square law...in other words they get very weak once you go only a small distance away from the magnetic material. secondly, if that crystal is flooding the environment with some form of energy, and that energy is able to somehow effect the dry cell or the motor, that must be a great amount of energy. You may find yourself in the same position as the Curies. please see here. http://www.aip.org/history/curie/resbr1.htm can you get Geiger counter?
  8. I'm curious. I would like to repeat your experiment to see it with my own eyes. Can you get me as many measurements and any other technical specifics. also where was the crystal mined, etc etc. thanks.
  9. From a psychology point of view, that film was fascinating. I especially like the way the soldier replicant made the realization about the "value of life". Just before it expired and became pro life despite its training. Phillip K Dick asks some brilliant questions about the nature of the mind of man in that film.
  10. From what you have just said, you could also draw the conclusion that: "everything is life", just at differing levels of complexity.
  11. well, it's a bit mean. What will be your control experiment? What is your hypothesis? What is your method? Do you know the steps required for an activity to be considered an experiment.? What is your population sample size??? How on earth are you going to persuade any right minded girl to participate in this activity. questions questions.
  12. Women are also really good at walking in high heels. That must take great concentration. As for this experiment idea. If you were to find out the actual scientific process of experimentation...i.e. the actual steps required. Write them out, apply them and demonstrate to your class how you did that. (and why your results were so crappy), that would be the best result you could hope for.
  13. What a beautiful explanation. As I look up at all the points of starlight tonight, I wonder how many goldilocks zones exist around every one of those suns. it seems life is not rare but almost........ inevitable. Next question. (it is a question of some gravity). Gravity, how important is gravity in separating the gas form the water from the rocks...and will life form at those points of separation.
  14. OK try this. From the last colour diagram, Draw a line parallel to EC…but shift it up so it intersects point D. Now think like a mirror.
  15. Hey man, if it works, it works. Can’t argue with results! I figure EDB = 30? I’m just trying to show that triangle ADE is the same as the 50 20 110 triangle via parallelism.
  16. Isn't this a totally cool puzzle! ps. Those diagrams are really wonky.
  17. hey, wait just a second! that's the test for a replicant on BLADE RUNNER.
  18. I’m trying to solve it using three rules alone. 1 three angles of a triangle add to 180. 2 Isosceles triangles are symmetrical. 3 If you skew a square, two pairs of sides remain parallel. I’m stubborn like that.
  19. Actually can someone refresh me again on how exactly a sun produces different elements. Might as well start at the beginning
  20. There is another way to look at this. What ingredients did you have to work with at the start. Sun, minerals, what else (did you think)?
  21. hovercrafts blow. http://www.rqriley.com/hc-calc.html
  22. I think doctors are quite good. The human body and the organisms that interact with it are quite complicated. So they do a pretty good job of coming to terms with the product of billions of years of evolution. What doctors are really good for is making sure you don’t die of a simple infection like you did a few hundred years ago. I say we keep them on.
