Why did Max Planck think that energy ought to be radiated in quantas? What were the shortcomings of the earlier theories that made the Quantum Theory a necessity. For example, the shortcomings in Galileo's model of planetary motion was that it could not explain why did the planets revolve around...

Apparently true... http://www.goofball.com/news/condom_reef It seems that the country of origin can be identified by the length.

Seriously, did anyone see their most recent program called Voyage to The Planets and Beyond? It's totally ridiculous! The program is about a manned voyage to 5 of the 9 planets and close pass by the sun, a voyage that alone takes over 1200 days. I'll list some of the outragous events that take...

Antigravity and Discovery Channel's Credibility http://www.americanantigravity.com/ Please, someone tell me this is fake. This, and the Hutchison Effect, plus Joe Newman's free energy device is, obviously, fake. What startles me is that Discovery Channel is airing some documentaries (not...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3611453.stm When it comes to humans and cats I'm not sure just who domesticated whom. I know that ours either get what they want or they pester us to death. Also, I don't see the cats cleaning the toilet but guess what I get to do?

I went to a cosmology seminar recently. It was mostly for fun, but if you complete a take home exam you get a tiny bit of college credit for it. Things were going along fine until I ran across the last two questions: How was Dark Matter just discovered and when did this happen? What...
