A few Biology questions I was interested in finding an answer to... 1. How many genes are there? 2. How many are patented? 3. How many Y-chromosomes are there? 4. How many X-chromosomes are there?

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification, marcus. In some ways, I see it similar to a tesseract (concept, not object): rather than seeing the fastest way between two points as being a straight line, instead "bringing two points closer together" to eliminate distance. Reference: "transport[ing]...

And yet, if the distance in between them has grown, how can they not move away from each other? For the distance in between them to grow, they would HAVE to move apart, it's only logic. Maybe I've missed something here?

1. What are some specifics about black holes? 2. I've heard there's a supermassive one at the center of our galaxy--FACT or FICTION? Relevant websites, articles, etc. highly welcome! (I'm really interested in cosmology, obviously.)

So, from what I've heard, absolute zero is 0 Kelvin, lowest temperature possible, -273.15 C, etc etc. Is it possible to even reach it? Why or why not?

I would think that, given the amount of power during the collision, a black hole may be able to form...

I think what he meant to say is that space is virtually empty of matter--light (and radiation) has no matter, therefore "nothing" could be considered to be there. I understand where you're coming from, and I agree, but on the flip side, it's also true that nothing with matter exists between...
