See what happens when one looses one's faith in the teachings of religion? ;)

Marlon, I did not know you played yourself in youtube horror clips :)

Some people who are not completely familiar with physics ask questions and learn. Some others who are not completely familiar will attempt to "disprove" physics. I'm always happy to see more of the former :) OK... for the sake of clarity, let's say the edge of the galaxy is about 47,750...

Well, we are talking about NASA here so cutting-edge is expected. I predict the breakthrough will come in the form of velcro that makes no tearing noise when the two layers are separated :)

Velcro on the bottom of astronaut slippers and a "hairy" surface on the station floor. That is if the crew can stand the constant tearing noise made by the velcro action.

Actually, NASA originally had plans to include a smaller scale version of "artificial gravity" onboard the ISS. It was called the Centrifuge Accommodations Module (CAM) but it was canceled due to the station's (as expected) cost overruns. Besides, if the goal for including artificial gravity...

Hmm, perhaps one needs to put on IR goggles to view that particular subform? :)

Umm, I believe you still left out the other 7 or 8 sides to our "M"ysterious universe :)

Just out of curiosity in point #2, do you mean to say: a quasar in the draco constellation is massively red-shifted (because I don't think I've ever seen or heard any references to an astronomical entity named the "Draco cluster") ?

I'll agree that alternatives are possible. But the main point is not that Martian craters are seeing disturbances, it is that the erosion channels on the craters have a pattern of disturbance that is characteristic of liquid flow. Looking at deposits previously known to have been the result of...

What did the bartender say to the axion? No charge :) You can read about what the axion is: http://physicsweb.org/articles/news/8/11/13/1 (Note that this is MUCH older article dating from 2004 so it does NOT mention the discovery.)

The Jan. 2007 issue of the British Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics is publishing the research of P L Jain and G Singh from the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/0954-3899/34/1/009 Read it for free before they make you...

I'm sorry, but I'm not following you since you also say that: Are you saying Bush is ideologically driven, or are you saying that he is just following the party's elite? A presidential candidate cannot be both can he, as you said also that "[w]ell, again, I think the key here is that the...

Ohh, my apologies Rach. I'll understand if the mods want to lock this thread for duplication.

I don't think the current evidence supports a geologic explanation as you seem to suggest. For example, the deposits at the botom of the erosion channel in the pictures have "finger-like branches" and diverted around obstacles. I think if it was due to geologic processes, we would see a more...
