The existence of the universe IS relevant to its nature. Just because we can't make an observation and explain it right now does not make it irrelevant, it simply means we don't know how and are not knowledgeable enough. Philosophy is important for science. Let us not forget that it is...

Its a bit stubborn to say we are the "first" life form when we haven't even taken a human passed the moon and the furthest we've been is a little more than 18 Billion Kilometers with Voyager 1, which may seem like a lot to a human, but is barely classified as a step in relation to the Galaxy let...

By "proportion", I believe he is referring to how limited we are to observing the universe and relating to it. We can barely see past the Sun and Moon with our unaided eyes other than the flickering stars, so naturally we chose Earth to mean something special and thus all religions revolve our...

I was curious as to why when a star discontinues fusion its gravitational pull grows stronger? My guess - When a star is actively burning, the fusion is somehow warping space and/or suppressing the gravitational pull. When the star stop fusion, this force is no longer present and the star feels...

Fascinating video! It seems to me that Resistance plays a very large role in the every day world, causing lots of variation. However, in a vacuum tube or on the moon, where there is no resistance, does the gravitational force determine how fast objects will fall?

Hello, I was conducting some experiments with toilet paper. I tore off 2 sheets of square paper, each measuring 0.5g. I began dropping them from equal levels at approximately the same exact time. They each landed equally (obviously), however, as I began to crumble one of the sheets into a...

Im watching one of khan's videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwet4cIpnCM&feature=player_embedded#at=468 And he's using the pythagorean theorem to solve height of a 30-60-90 triangle. Prior to everything, I think I have a good understanding on how it all works, however, I still don't...
