    Can a nuke crush a volcano's slope?

    Thank you for the information; I wanted to know because of a StarCraft-based fanfiction I'm writing :smile: P.s. Nice of you to think about the humane applications of such a theoretical situation... Although my specific dilemma was oriented at sci-fi stuff :rolleyes:

    Can a nuke crush a volcano's slope?

    There was no "Geology section" so I guess here is where this thread belongs. So, can a nuclear explosion blast one of the slopes of a volcano and open a gap through which lava will flow? Or will it be insufficient. By "nuke" I mean a bomb of ~20 kilotons, something between "Little Boy" and...

    I have ideas, I'm not sure what to do with them

    I initially thought of writing it imitating The Republic (a third of which I have read), but it turned out that, the blog being the first ever draft of my thoughts, there isn't much clear dialectic, especially in the first chapters. Nonetheless, a dialog allows for occasional broadness and two...

    Seven Questions for Neo-Darwinists

    4. None. But it could be the side-effect of some sort of innate desire that WAS implanted in the species by natural selection. 5. Maybe they are like the ants or termites. There is no competition between individual workers in a bee hive after all and they work as a big team. Or, among these...

    I have ideas, I'm not sure what to do with them

    So, since my sophomore class until now - my senior class - I have been thinking about mankind and control and I came up with ideas, such as what control is or what is the purpose of the existence of species and then of individuals. So fare they are in my blog (http://sizarieldor.blogspot.com)...

    The Decline of Western Democracy

    Nice of you to share it with us. "Why a ‘mutual confidence in reason’ becomes one of life’s most important goals? Because of the disaster to all of us that is derived from an intellectual distrust of reason. I think that one of the important duties we all have is to help others formulate a...

    Are social and natural sciences connected?

    First of all, "connected"=? I think that they are "similar", because both examine cause-effect relationships between different phenomena, using rational inquiry and the rules of logic. If by "connected" you mean "often referring to one another" as physics is connected to chemistry, then I...

    Dreams: Life Beyond Parents for Raised-Solo Kids

    Well, as a young boy I, being autistic, oftentimes liked to think of cars and other vehicles as having "faces" (you know the lights... and the windows on an airplane's cabin). Furthermore, I liked most models, which looked "frowning" and "angry", so that they express supremacy for example...

    Is Global Warming to Blame for This Heatwave?

    And I'm http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/22963199/?q=smelting&qh=boost%3Apopular+age_sigma%3A24h+age_scale%3A5 :rolleyes: It will get stickier and stickier. Everybody's guilty. 3 nights ago there was this big storm and it rained all evening and all night - first very hard, then some of...

    Does IQ Increase More at 18 or 25+ Years Old?

    Cognitive capabilities definitely increase as you grow up - I mean, an adult is usually more clever than a kid... But if you are asking about the quantity of the IQ as defined by the tests - yea, tests are designed so that a kid with the same result as an adult gets more IQ points and there is...

    Lingusitics Which language sounds the nicest?

    Aesthetically Sindarin or Quenya (elvish from LotR) sound the best - here's Tolkien reading some Sindarin: http://www.lotrplaza.com/elves/sindarin/tolkien-elbereth.wav

    Lingusitics Which language sounds the nicest?

    You know what Charles V said: To God I speak in Spanish, to men I speak in French, to women I speak in Italian, and to my dog I speak in German. :D But, I agree with Maxwell's demon that French sounds nice when spoken by ladies. But what I would like to speak as a guy is Latin - habet...
