    Golden Age of Construction Engineering?

    I'm watching a NOVA documentary "Secrets of the Parthenon", and the storyteller tries really hard to hype the ancient engineering technology, by saying our modern technology isn't capable of understanding/replicating what the greeks did. Is it me, or are they just suffering from the "garden...

    Reconciling the Paradox of Age and Size in a Finite Universe

    If the Universe is 96 billion light years across and 13.7 billion years old, then doesn't that mean that the Universe has expanded faster than the speed of light? How can that be if speed of light is the speed limit of the Universe?

    The Twin Paradox: Why Does the Travelling Twin Age Less?

    As we all probably know, the twin paradox states that a twin goes off in a spaceship at c and returns, aging less than the twin on Earth because he traveled at c relative to Earth. However, relative to the spaceship, Earth is traveling away from it at c also, so technically, if I were on that...

    Why is There an Age Limit for Blood Donation?

I can't imagine it would be that bad for a person's own health to donate blood. Is it because of responsibility...
