    What role do orbits play in Earth's climate change?

    There is a warming cooling pulse in Earth’s life exemplified by tracks left from ancient glaciers to deserts once flush with flora and fauna. When did all this occur and why? Here’s what I think: Moon orbits Earth, Earth orbits Sun, Sun orbits Milky Way, Milky Way orbits ? Each event takes...

    Can Everything be Reduced to Pure Physics?

    I've watched this forum. Would someone first define Physics. I thought mathematics was one of many working tools but not necessarily on par with physics. We’re mixing apples and oranges again. One example of representing ‘A’ as H2O and ‘B’ as Man omits content of each. And even if you look...

    Can Everything be Reduced to Pure Physics?

    Magnetic reversal/global warming Doctor D, I appreciate your comments as they make sense. Maybe you could help me on my poser: Interestingly, our Sun oscillates in and out of the plane of the galaxy (up and down) every 70 million years (approx.). Which means we pass through the Galactic...

    How Our Place in the Galaxy Affects Life on Earth

    There is not a simple answer. The variables seem to increase the more I read. Interestingly, our Sun oscillates in and out of the plane of the galaxy (up and down) every 70 million years (approx.). Which means we pass through the Galactic mid-plane about every 35 million years. The number of...

    How Our Place in the Galaxy Affects Life on Earth

    Something important to think about: If it takes us between 225 and 240 millions years to make one Galaxy orbit wouldn’t it be prudent to associate magnetic polar shift, global warming, and ice-ages to where the sun was located when these events occurred? Were we close to or farther away...

    Can Everything be Reduced to Pure Physics?

    (QUOTE=Canute) When you say: "I am aware that..." are you not saying "you are conscious that..."? And does this help understand consciousness?

    Is Consciousness Just the Result of Electrical Activity in Our Brains?

    Consciousness or being aware can be attributed to your brain’s central processing unit being on. As for having a soul, it’s like hitting your funny-bone! Once you do you know you have it. Bob Rollins :rolleyes:

    Can Everything be Reduced to Pure Physics?

    Physics for problem solving? By restricting yourself to pure Physics you run the risk of limiting thought in order to keep your solution in the box. Is that where you want to be? Bob Rollins :rolleyes:

    Philosophy: Should we eat meat?

    Eat Meat responsibly! When we lack some mineral or vitamin (If we tune in!) our body should tell us what we need to supplement. For example, a craving for a potato may signify a need for potassium while leafy veggies may reveal a need for chlorophyll. A well balanced diet should include meat...

    Coriolis effect and water spin

    Coriolis(Carioles) effect Carioles Effect: Since the Carioles Effect causes moving particles to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere and the deflection is proportional to the speed and latitude of the moving particles; water should flow...
