    Do satellite temperature data prove the existence of global warming?

    Popular Science January 2005 has an interesting article discussing the problems with current fuel cell technology. such things they noted was that hydrogen burns near colorless and could go unnoticed until your pants catch on fire. furthermore, cellphoned, and lightning could ingite...

    Do satellite temperature data prove the existence of global warming?

    i honestly don't put too much faith in global warming. Simply because we still have winter. ok, that seems stupid at first, but tell me, have you ever heard anyone screaming about the evils of global warming during a blizzard?

    Old Earth Debate: Need Arguments and Resources

    well, there is another aspect to this. somewhere in the bible there is a story about Jesus turning water into wine, not just wine but good wine. This implies that it is old, so the argument would be something to the general effect of "well, obviously if God can create good/old wine why couldent...

    Old Earth Debate: Need Arguments and Resources

    the reason downs syndrome is related to the mothers age is because of the complexities involved with meiosis/oogenesis. When the cells are older they seem to have a harder time dividing the chromosomes evenly, this results in abnormalities. 21 out of 23 times this leads to a miscarrage. 1 out of...

    Old Earth Debate: Need Arguments and Resources

    im sorry that i haven't been able to reply back... I've had 3 projects as well as the lacrosse championship to worry about. anyway the debate was today. the teacher didnt really take sides as to who won, but i did provide much more evidence. Actually it was kinda funny because in my opening...

    Old Earth Debate: Need Arguments and Resources

    I am aware that this is a more or less controversial topic among creationists and evolutionists; however, my AP Biology class is having an inclass debate on the topic. Essentially I have been chosen, along with another, to defend the old Earth viewpoint, and I would like to know what you 'all...

    DNA: What Are the Key Differences Between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes?

    essentially there is no 1 gene that controles the entire cell. However in multi cellular organisms you can have cells that that send signals to other cells and those get a little bit more closer to what you are talking about. In humans it is called the endocrin system. The key piece to the...

    DNA: What Are the Key Differences Between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes?

    ok, to answer the original question more accurately (and detailed just for the fun of it ). DNA carries with it all of the information for life. The way it does this is by means of proteins. For the sake of simplicity i will only talk about how eucariotic sells controle heredity. The reason...

    Building a Functional Model of the Human Brain

    the statement that it will take 30 years is a little optimistic, but not impossible. the only thing would be if anyone would do it. I mean, we have the technology to do somany things, yet that dosent mean we have. The technology to create a human equivalent brain will be there but there is a...

    Building a Functional Model of the Human Brain

    I was alerted to a good source from another thread about the processing power of the brain. Thanks go out to Lyuokdea for posting it. http://www.aeiveos.com/~bradbury/Authors/Computing/McEachern-RH/HaMIAEV.html Scroll down to the bit about "A ONE HUNDRED MILLION GIGAFLOP PROCESSOR"

    Anyone know how does the stealth technology work?

    o ok, my bad. yeah, they have been doing research into a suit that has pin hole cameras pointing out and then projects the image it sees on the other side. There are obvious flaws to this idea. There was a working prototype, however, it was very very low res with a pixle a couple of inched in...

    Anyone know how does the stealth technology work?

    im assuming your talking about the stealth bombers and such. Wot happens is they found out that certain angles reflect radar waves (witch work similar to sonar). So the idea is to create an air craft that has a geometry that allows it to reflect radar away from the source while still allowing it...
