    Lucid dreams are dreams in which you know you are dreaming. You then

    You don't have to keep a journal to lucid dream. I think people write down their dreams because they were so awesome that they want to keep the memory forever. At least that's why I write the occasional one down... WBTM, MILD, and WILD are techniques that help you lucid dream and they cost...

    There are many ways you can induce this kind of sleep - just search Google. I have a friend who says she can do it whenever she wants. Personally, I've never taken an effort to TRY to lucid dream, but it happens every couple of months or so. The last one I had was last week; it was incredible.

    Title says it all. How close are we to genetically instilling more memory, faster processing power, etc.. in the human brain? Can an admin please PM this time before just deleting the thread? It's a serious question and an interesting discussion if taken as such.

    Discovering My Child's Lack of Physics Education: A Frustrating Reality

    Well in New York, we had a mandatory Physics Regents class that was pretty easy, and excluded any calculus. It was pure algebra and trigonometry, and was a joke for most students. The ones who wanted to challenge themselves were then given the opportunity to take AP Physics the next year, which...

    Medical What is your opinion on taking brain-boosting drugs?

    High School Paper Bridge Project: Design for Holding 20+ lbs with 1 Sheet of Paper

    Can you lick it? ;) Kidding; the easiest way would be to carefully cut a slit and use a T-shaped piece at the end of the roll and slip that through a horizontal slit cut in the sidewall of the roll.

    High School How does light illuminate objects? (help me in a debate)

    Well you would need a well-chosen gas.. in that case, you could cram, say, 20 projectors into one encasing and walla - hologram

    High School How does light illuminate objects? (help me in a debate)

    How would it be possible, even with a million projectors, if you were, say, in a vacuum?

    Discovering My Child's Lack of Physics Education: A Frustrating Reality

    I, respectfully, disagree. Having taken calculus in high school, I felt that it was a very valuable set of skills to have.
