Hey guys, I am a physics newbie that just gone done watching parallel universes. From what I understand M-theory predicts that our universe is a brane that all matter is attached to, and its floating in a 11 dimensional space. Is the 11 dimensional space infinite or finite? Also are the paralled...

Here is a link to an interview of Brian Green on NPR. He talks about the creation of a universe. AMAZING! http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6545246

You have to get essential amino acids somehow. I geuss you could say that in the PRESENT, animal product are not essential since someone could take amino acid supplements which would contain the essential amino acids. But in the past when those supplements did not exist, meat was indeed an...

I was watching a video on Dr. Michio Kaku's page regarding how M-theory was developed. Towards the end of the video, it was said that theoratically a universe could be created in a laboratory. This universe would not effect our universe it would simply bud off our universe, then expand to cosmic...

Our degestive tract evolved to digest animal tissue and plant tissue. Meat is an essential part of the diet. Our body requires amino acids which are the building blocks of protiens. There is a total of 20 amino acids. Our body can produce most of the amino acids, but there are some amino acids...

Thank you everyone for responding to my post. The master degree that I was referring to would be in physics, not biology. According to the advisor the classes for the master are the same as 3rd and 4th year undergraduate classes. What I wanted to do was take cal 1 this summer, cal-2...

To make a long story short I always wanted to study physics, but was convinced to study biology by my parents so I could eventually pursue medicine as career. I am about to finish my biology degree next year. I would have taken Cal 1-3 and Cal based physics by the time I am done. I am trying to...

This poll also includes hours in class, not soley study time outside of class.

From a human nutrition course I took. Supposedly when unsaturated fats are broken down for energy, it requires more ATP to power all the enzymes then a saturated fat due to the double covalent bond located along the fatty acid chain. Since fats provide the same overall energy but it takes more...

It all comes down to how much energy the body can derive from the fat molecule. Our body is able to derive more net energy from saturated fats then monounsaturated fats. This is due to monunsaturated fats having a double covalent bond some where along the fatty acid chain that saturated fats...

I know that planets like Jupiter are being found in solar systems, astrobiologist are optimistic that there will be Earth like planets around the planets that are similar to jupiter. These Earth like planets could possibly meet the criteria above. Another basic ingredient that i just read...

-People use to think human flight was impossible as well. Given enough time, what do you know, we humans are in the sky. Now we can travel across the Alantic in less then a day when it took our ancestors months. -I read some where that our universe is 15 billion years old, but that besides...

What about worm holes. We could theoriticaly bend space/time and use a worm hole to punch through space/time. Heres some food for thought. Our planet has been around for about 4.5 billion years, it took about a billion years for the formation of the first prokaryotes. What if life began...
