this has been going on now for quite some time. Ever since humans realized that their own manure worked just as well as their animals. What do you think all those homesteaders with no plumbing do with their shit:)

my question to anyone who can answer it...

Examining Influenza
·
· Score: 1
I have a puzzling question (for me at least, with no experience working with diseases, bacteria, etc). If we were to isolate every single person infected with influenza, or HIV, or any other virus that can not live outside of the human body long, and keep their bodily wastes (feces, urine, moisture from their breath, etc) away from everybody else, would these diseases disappear forever?
Very unfeasible, I know, but humor me if you will...
pleasure/feelings of well being are a bit more complex than a single area in the brain. Think receptors, synapses, and lots of nodes oozing out serotonin...you've got a rough picture then.
"well, with the possible exception of hideous crimes"
you're forgetting about the percent (suprisingly large) of people that commit so called hideous crimes that actually believe they did not in fact commit the crime. Insanity is such a bypass of polygraph tests...
The reason we don't go to the moon is not because we are bored or lazy, it is that there are more important things to do than land on the moon. These more important things just happen to be boring and mundane experiments around earth orbit, strike that, theyre only boring and mundane to those who are not interested in science, a step foward is a step foward, however big or small.
I was thinking the same thing, a little more practical would be maybe do it on earth in a simulated zero gravity chamber...
I don't know though, maybe that wouldn't be COOL enough for the high schoolers.
actually we cannot "create matter" excepting maybe a few virtual particles for a few millionths of a second. Cloning is little more than fertilizing an egg with a duplicate genetic code. You really arn't "creating matter" anymore than we create matter through common sexual intercourse.

the day that they can use sonar to peirce the insides of planets, stars, etc. Totally unrelated, but still very interesting...

what are the side effects with flooding tissue with this protein?
this is only one more incentive to being a teach!
