The topic of science no.1

Hmm.

bossie,
do you believe in a multiplicity of History? Let me explain,
some say that
it would be possible to go back in time because even if you went back in time, and prevent your parents from ever having you in the first place... history would just diverge and spawn a new history without you, and this would prevent any paradox or destruction of you from the future.

In other words, when i take a pen in my hand, there was an alternative history-event that occurred at the same time i lifted the pen, but in that history-event i did not lift the pen... damn this will get confusing soon.

I know of this theory but I think it is humbug.
This is why:
there is some physical laws that can not be broken. the law of energy is one. If I go back in history my energy dissapear in this time and I create energy in the time i arrive to. This is just not possible.

I hope people in general will spend more time/money on science, because if all they do is spend it on stupid things like war, it will mean our downfall in the end.

I wish Nasa would get more funding, so that we could accelerate the space program. I hope non-government companies get into the space race, so that maybe in 20 we will have colonies on the damn moon, never mind MARS :rolleyes:

That is one thing i don\'t understand, why are they trying to go to mars? and not the moon? the key word here is "baby steps" Granted, Mars is more sexy and exciting, but i think a sustainable space exploration/colonization program is best learned by going to the moon, colonizing and finding all the challenges involved, only then should you go extremely far like Mars. IMO.

Heres a question.......is the burmuda triangle real???????

actually from what i remember, there is a magnetic flux that occurs in the burmuda triangle that screws up computers, compasses, and such. the magnetic field is different in that area of the world, and so it can screw things up when it changes.

thats what i heard.

bossieman, your words on magnetic field possibilities?

I think the Bermuda thingy is just gas that escapes in huge spurts and sinks ships/airplanes.  IMO. Maybe something else. What i don\'t believe in are:

1) Atlantis people abduct you
2) Little green men abducting you


These 2 explanations for the phenomena are off-the-wall.

I\'ve seen that on the Discovery Channel. I think it\'s methane(sp) gass that sink the ships and airplanes.
They did a test in a lab where they had a smaller sized replica of a tanker and steered it over water where this gass was coming through the surface and it actually sank.

The gass which is lighter than air made the ship less boyant.
And since it\'s lighter than air, it\'s got lower density so airplanes will also get in trouble with the up lift. This is something I saw a few years ago though, it might have been proven wrong now.

Please excuse my spelling if it\'s uncorrect, English isn\'t my native language.

hmm, methane gas eh? coming from what underground area?


but it does sound reasonable. cuz ships wouldnt ink f their compasses were screwed up...


did the show say anythign else about where the methane was coming from? like mebbe that area is earth\'s poop hole, and every so often it farts and sinks ships or somthing?

They said it came from the ground on the bottom of the ocean,
well some areas have lots of natural gas, etc... maybe some areas have pockets of gas which escapes due to tectonic plate movement/earthquakes. etc...

They said that there were lots of methane-carbonate or something, don\'t remember exactly, below the bottom of the sea in the area where all these ships sink. Some places these reservoars of methane-carbonate are exposed to sea water. When this hard material comes in contact with water it releases the methane gass and the gass rushes to the surface.
Something like that at least, 2-3 years since i saw that show, hard to remember.

GREAT f\'ing great thread Bossieman. D4mn you really like to start these huge threads about religion and science don\'t you?
Keep it up, these things are really interesting.

The only problem is, I\'m sitting here straining my little brain to try to comprehend all this crap.

Ow, my head hurts... :crap:

i feel sorry for you.


and thats really cool about the methane thing. i bet that is actually the real cause of the ships sinking...

but would it be enough to make planes have trouble too? i mean it would disperse quite quickly in the  air..........

I wonder if that stuff would actually ignite and blow the plane from the sky, and since the water is less buoyant the wreckage falls and sinks right away..  :eek:

The bermuda triangle is fascinating but I dont to go into that now, maybe we can start a Bermuda science topic some week.

Here is some info about the Bermuda triangle:

Man great thread bossie, i think about this kind of stuff everyday, and at night i lay awake and think about it, and the whole universe all around me, it makes me feel very small but at the same time is gives me a unique feeling.

Bumpty Bump anyone?

good job bossieman. i wondered where this thread had gone..

the new info on the black hole in the center of our galixy is amazing aint it?

but i wonder if it actually could be in the center of every galaxy.

cuz what else would hold all that stuff in orbit, a neutron star?

oh yeah and i heard a teaspoon of rock or somthin gfrom a nutron star would weigh like a trillion tons...

thats pretty messed up.

and how do pulsars work?
