  1. Re:The summary on Recent Human Evolution May Have Been Driven By Self-Selection · · Score: 0

    It may be that life always evolved at an exponential rate. The main goal of life may be to eventually get beyond this. But who can argue if all life is a product of 5 billion years of exponential growth. This may be the reasoning behind genetic religeos belief systems.

    Hmm, every road sign in Minesota has the same type of damage.

  3. Re:Newsflash. on Can Time Slow Down? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I have been there. The brain is constantly searching for a way out. The brain will search all of its memory to look for a solution. You can see your entire life flash by in seconds. When it finds that there is no way out everything goes dark and a very peacefull feeling is produced . Then you see a light. I never trusted the light. I thought it was a trick.

    Corn futures are very risky.I own stock in bfre up 4.85% today WoOt!!They produce fuel from land fill waste.

    Seeding a storm with a million boxes of powdered soap right before it makes landfall. Hmmm,What could possibly go wrong.

    I wonder what would happen if you could dump a million boxes of Mr Bubble into a cat 5 ?

  7. Re:Obviously on "All Quiet Alert" Issued For the Sun · · Score: 0

    I do not understand why any aquatic creature would incorperate a form of carbon that decays into nitrogen into its genome. Sea surface temperature is a very complex variable in the global warming issue. Energy that is absorbed in the upper atmosphere may eventually end up on the surface of the ocean and move to the poles.

  8. Health insurance on UK Moves To Allow Human Hybrid Experiments · · Score: 0

    Why was it banned in the first place? Evolution seems to have many twists.

  9. Is the problem unsolvable? on Folding @ Home Petaflop Barrier Crossed · · Score: 0

    Is this an unsolvable problem? Solving this problem may be equal to predicting the weather 30 days in advance. This problem seems to mimic other problems. It may be that these problems are unsolvable no matter how much energy and data you use. The nightmare to this is that the fundamental building blocks of the universe are all three body systems that may only be solvable with a quantum computer. I have similar arguments with the debate on which came first DNA RNA or proteins. I believe that life needs all three of these to be considered as a form of life, an abstract three body system that is full of infinite change that can evolve. It may be that all other systems never made it past the big bang.

    Why is this in the science section.Please,start a science fiction section for this type of stuff.

  16. Re:Higgs boson on CERN Announces Collider Startup Delay · · Score: 0

    If there is a particle that creates mass there should also be a anti-Higgs. In order to fill a void you must first have a void to fill. But, there are no voids in this universe. It may look like aether but,its just waves moving in a universe without voids. I have a feeling that all these particles will break into exactly three parts. With three parts it will have infinite movment. Also, it takes three seperate movments to create a helix or wave.I hope it wont end up like the pentaquark debocle.

  17. Space-Time cannot rip apart on Black Hole Information Loss Paradox Solution Proposed · · Score: 0

    My retarted guess is that.The information will turn into gravity waves well before time has a chance to stop.Space-time cannot rip apart .Matter will always change into something well before it comes to a complete stop.You will never see a massive black hole emiting jets in a spiral.Only ball shaped galaxies emit jets .The jets are at right angles to the center of the cluster.

    Check out Nasa Human Space Flight for the times in your area.Tonight I will be able to see the station and the shuttle at the same time.Space station will rise at 9:10 and set at 9:20 the shuttle will rise at 9:20 and set at9:29.The stations second visable pass is at 10:45 to 10:55 .The shuttle should be visable at the same time as it is catching up to the station.Good luck.

    It was a perfect viewing night in northern Minesota .I saw the shuttle pass directly overhead followed by the station 45 minutes later.It was on its second orbit.

    Venture left the genome project.Then he started Celera in order to patent the genes.He made a godzillion $$$.He built a huge sailboat and hired a military crew to escort him and the cash to an offshore bank on the camen islands.Watson and venture are twins in my book. On the other hand Franklin and Crick were truly saints.

    A few years ago I replied to an artical about qubits on slashdot.I said they need to be put in a hexagonal pattern .They still have a long way to go.They will soon discover that the electron will move freely in only eight directions in that lattice.I saw this in a dream .
