Why exactly would aliens put big bright lights on the bottom of their spaceship, in wavelengths that are smack in the middle of what humans see best? They would have to be the dumbest aliens in the universe if they wanted to observe us without being seen and did it by coming down and shining...

Although your question has mostly been answered in various posts above, I thought I would do a point by point just so it's easy to read: When a woman makes eggs at birth, it is HER cells, the first of which was created during fertilization,that go through the process of meiosis: just as male...

Re: The Exponential growth in Science & Tech discoveries So what, you think we will reach some point where we will know everything there is to know, and then time will end?

Um what? No it's not assumed: we know Exactly what happened originally, and nothing has changed from those original circumstances. You have taken block B back in time to witness those events again, but the original block B and Block A from that time has not been tampered with, rather Block B...

As others have noted it is extremely poorly worded. In any case, block A should travel the exact same path that it did originally. There should now be two copies of Block B at the time of the original collision, but the block B that is time travelling is either still on its post-being-hit-by-A...

You see: the' A-' is a negation of the ism. It is not an ism because it is contained right there in the word a- theism - not theism. That WQ wants to focus on the ism instead of the a just shows that you have no understanding on how words are constructed, its not some special insight... If I...

Nothing psychic about that. We all know generally what other people are thinking and about to say: its how our brains work. We make an effort to model the other person to predict their behavior, so that we can get an advantage in our interaction. I can predict the stuff my wife is thinking or...

its freaking beautiful here today, but it of course rained all weekend while my family was in from out of town. 75 and sunny, low of 54... my favorite weather: cool but not cold.

I'd do my best to save both, but while I would prefer to save the virologist, if he was unconcious it would be far easier to save the baby, and I would have a far lesser risk of having us both die. If he wasn't unconcious, he can carry the damn baby out, or try to protect himself by breathing...

The reason it pretty must HAS to be a BIG event to end human civilization is that we're so dang smart that any slow process that threatens us we can easily engineer our way out of. Even if every human were instantly sterilized today, the human race would go on. If we ran out of oil, or crops...

This is just north of my hometown. Definitely pretty hilarious to me. On the other hand, if you build a giant statue out of a steel frame coming out of water, and cover it in flammable materials... not that surprising that it got struck by lightning and burst into flame. But that sure would...

You understand nothing of what taxes are doing for you... Which was Hytegia's point. It's not being stolen from you, it is being used by you (through a proxy, the government) to promote the common good (which includes you). Whenever someone (Including government entities themselves!) uses the...

Christianity isn't NEARLY as bad, simply because there is almost no where in the world that practices the exact morality found in the Christian revelation. I can't name one christian nation that stones people for the things people get stoned for in the old testament, or even legislates about...

Has he EVER answered any straightforward questions? He's the most evasive person I've ever encountered. He loves to jump on people for assuming things, but he refuses to answer questions: requiring people to assume things. Drives me nuts.

Millions of people have believed in Thor... Millions have believed in tons of Gods that you presumably would say don't exist. Why do you say those Gods don't exist? The incan gods, the axtec gods, the greek gods, the norwegian gods... all had people that genuinely believed, people that...
