    Do Plants Communicate Through Sound?

    Thanks for the info! (side note) I was going to post this in the skepticism / debunking sub-forum, but that seems to be gone. What happened to it?

    The magazine is called "Idea's & Discoveries" .. I've never seen it before. Thanks for the link, but unfortunately, I don't have a membership there.. :-/

    Do Plants Communicate Through Sound?

    I came across this in a magazine and I'm skeptical about it. Does anyone have any evidence to support this or a link to the "studies' it references? Per attachment: "We know that plants utilize biochemical signaling molecules to communicate, especially when a predator is nearby. But...

    Equation recognition (Spock & Scotty's convo in the new Statr Trek)

    So I watched Star Trek (the new one) last night and it got me thinking about a few things and I figure this would be the best place to ask. I know that the movie is science fiction, but… For those that have seen the movie, remember the scene in the movie when future Spock is explaining to...

    Did Quark Matter Penetrate Earth in 1993?

    I understand that. I was just curious if anything was ever made of it, any follow up or anything like that.. so, would this be an anomaly? https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=58374 .. or more of a fluke?

    Did Quark Matter Penetrate Earth in 1993?

    Article - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/2502755.stm I wasn't real sure where to post this (mods move if necessary) Has anything come of this? Is it even relevant/accurate? The BBC doesn't seem to have a follow-up story or anything.

    What happens when we run out of ores?

    Some minerals can be recycled, but I don't think 'all' of them can be. But you do bring up a good point. What happens in +100 yrs (or longer) when all of our resources are mined and used. (meaning no recycle option)... what happens then?? Who does she work for? (BP, Exxon?) kidding, but...

    Texas group launches scholarship exclusively for white males

    The reason I posted this was because I've never heard of a 'white only' type scholarship. Granted you only need to be 25% white, but still. Is there any other (private or public) scholarship like that?

    Texas group launches scholarship exclusively for white males

    Honestly, its about time. Not to sound racist or anything, but I'm white and grew up poor. My parents didn't have money to send me to college. As a 'white' kid I was never eligible for most of the special types of loans/grants/scholarships that minority's are. I'm glad to see one established for...

    News Vatican warned Irish bishops not to report abuse

    Why would this come as a surprise.? A few questions though.. "It instead emphasizes the church's right to handle all child-abuse allegations and determine punishments in house rather than give that power to civil authorities" - Who/ what authority is this based on.? Why can the church punish...

    News NK Attack on SK: International Community Response Needed

    Now, granted the US is on a downward spiral (repairable, but not as powerful as we once were) but, to say that we are not a superpower is, IMHO a little nuts.. and the basis for this? our economic influence, military power, etc... as for 'keeping the peace' .. same rules that apply on the...
