    What is the Purpose of Life? The Universe's Audience

    My take on this question is progression. The purpose of life is to progress. Everything in the universe progress. Wheather it be - or +, its still going from one state (mentally and or physically) to another. This is the one common characteristic I see in any entity in the universe, including...

    Gravitational effect of sun on earth

    This is true. Do you think, for arguments sake, the sum of all the outer planets (including the astroid belt) with a center of mass i'd say somewhere near Jupiter's orbit could have a gravitational effect on Earth's orbital motion say 5% that of suns gravitational effect? I am thinking that all...

    Gravitational effect of sun on earth

    Does anyone know or is it possible to know how much percent of Earth's motion is due to the effect of suns gravity? I am thinking very close to 100%, but not exactly 100%. If it were 100%, the Earth's orbit would be a perfect circle; not to mention the orbits or the other planets. So what causes...

    How does the shape of a scramjet engine affect its thrust?

    I'm trying to fully understand scramjet engines but I can't seem to find a good source of information. I know the gist of what a scramjet engine is; I want to really understand the physics behind how it works and how the air flows thru the structure. If anyone help me and or knows a site or book...

    What Are Calabi-Yau Spaces in String Theory?

    I'm new to this string theory, but from what I've read (The Elegant Universe and a few papers), I realize that a good knowledge of the string theory requires a strong understanding of these Calbi-Yau spaces. Being a sophomore in college, I don't yet posess the mathematical abilities to fully...
