A PC is designed to minimize radiation, which otherwise appears as electronic interference. A wireless router is much more powerful than a cellphone, assuming it isn't completely wireless but has a power cord. Battery operated devices tend to be low-power. Try comparing the temperature of each...

Caused by some unknown virus, no doubt. Get some sunlight if you can, the UV seems to kill the buggers.

Wouldn't it be more effective to drink a magnesium sulfate solution while taking a hot bath?

LOL The main cause of hair loss by far is genetic. But if you notice uneven bald patches appearing around one ear then... it probably still isn't your cell phone, unless you have mites living in it. Let's put it this way. If the radiation from your phone was strong enough to cause hair...

The "Long Now" clock is designed to work for 10k years, you could consult that to find the exact date for the next ten millenium, but I wonder if there is a natural clock precise enough to provide an exact date on geologic time scales. Not that anyone would actually need to now the exact date...

Check the positions of the stars. Their proper motions are known and can be projected into the future with a great deal of reliability. The long hand of the galactic clock turns very slowly. If the stars have not moved then check the inclination of the Earth's axis, which varies in a...

I think it is unlikely to be from the BP spill. The heat of the Gulf Stream would have evaporated off the more volatile components of the oil, leaving clumps of what would appear to be a lot like asphalt. The farther north it moves into the north Atlantic the less likely it is that something...

A surface has no thickness and has the same area on the inside and out. You are talking about two different surfaces.

Chickens are one, but generally, any prey animal. Cows, deer, rabbits, etc. sacrifice binocular vision for improved field of view. It is harder to sneak up on them when they can see in all directions at once. Predators tend to have good overlap between the two eyes in order to better...
