Why Do People Relate The Feelings With Heart Instead Of Brain?
Everybody will have noticed that whenever someone feels something about someone, he says my heart feels this and this. I have noticed this with almost 99% people. None of them say that there mind is happy. Every one say that their heart is happy today. No one say that there mind fell in love with someone. Everyone say that their heart fell in love with someone. If we have a look at the scientific explanation for the relation of heart with human feeling we will find that heart has nothing to do

How To: Build A Simple Steam Cannon
I recently made 2 steam cannons, one with a friend, and one on my own, and since they work well, I thought I'd post instructions here on how to make one. The first things you'll need are 2 lengths of 15MM Copper Piping. You also need 2 spanners, something to heat the cannon with, and a pipe stopper, and a valve (one with a handle for opening/closing). Now, the actual guide: Get your first piece of copper pipe, and attach the pipe stopper to one end, and the valve to the other. Connect a

I don't think it's a coincidence that mythologies of nations from all over the world (even ones that didn't interact with one another) all featured dragons. So did they exist long ago? Or where these myths referring to dinosaurs? It's an overlooked issuein my opinion. What do you think? I think these legends did refer to dinosaurs, its just that the dinosaurs were exaggerated a bit.

Anyone see the recent Discovery Channel special on Pompeii? Anyway, if you didn't here's a brief...debrief: In August of AD 79, Mt. Vesuvius in Italy erupted, burying nearby Roman cities such as Pompeii and Herculaneum with as much as 20 feet of ash and pumace. There was complete devastation in a three-mile radius around the volcano. Scientists speculate that Vesuvius erupts with this much force about every 2000 years...so as you can see, they think it could very well happen agai

England suffered its first death from swine flu yesterday. I want this topic to be a discussion of whether this is a truly worrying, globalising pandemic or purely media hyped fantasy. By all accounts swine flu isn't even as mild as normal flu and yet the world media seem to be having a field day! I am only glad this is not a problem the media can "induce" by talking about, such as a recession, otherwise everyone would be dropping dead just because of the media coverage swin

Now they are more intelligent...A human brain is more valuable than an computer but a computer can do things than a human never will can do. One of the

Deforestation When an area of rainforest is either cut down, destroyed by fire or some other means of perturbation, there are various levels of climate change that happen as a result. These impacts have a positive feedback effect at differing geographical ranges, from local, regional, national, continental and ultimately global. Rainforest is an extremely complex ecosystems and the destruction and fragmentation not only effects climates, but also leads to the loss of plant species and habitat f

The Ozone Layer The ozone layer is not actually a layer but a zone withing the stratosphere where ozone is in higher concentrations compared to other regions of the atmosphere. The total amount of ozone is actually very small, but it serves an important purpose in regulating the amount of UVB that reaches the lithosphere. It is also important n stratospheric meteorology, where by the the process of absorbing UV radiation and the resulting heating effect, it determines the basic temperature stru

So I don't think this program is overly new, or new at all, but Loopt is a program for gps enabled devices with a new(ish) iteration availible for all those iPhone users out there.

Seasteading - Life On The High Seas
Earth has a finite amount of habitable land. This is a simple fact that leads to some interesting ideas. Lately I've stumbled upon the idea of "Seasteading" (http://seasteading.org/) which is the idea of actually building large scale floating cities. Sure it sounds like something out of a sci fi movie but apparently it's legitimately a possibility. I'd heavily reccomend checking out Seasteading's website or googling for more sites on the topic as it was endlessly inte

[center]What are the Conodonts, an overview of Class Conodonta.[/center] The Conondonta are an extinct class of worm like Chordates that exhibit bilateral symmetry. First described in 1856 by Christian Heinrich Pander, the conodonts were thought to have been the fossilized teeth and jaws of an extinct group of fishes. Pander used the term Conodonten to refer to both the animal and the fossilized jaw parts. Today, we use the term conodont to refer to the whole animal and conodont element to refe

What are your views on capital punishment? I myself am greatly supportive of this. For many reasons 1. people are afraid of it. Many Conservatives say that criminals are not afraid of capital punishment. If this is true tell me why they would be in custody. If they were not afraid of their deaths why did they submit to being arrested by gunpoint. if they were not scared they would have just fought back, but no they didnt they chose to surrender themselves, because they are afraid of the

Hey, I saw on some science channel that they are researching on nanobots: small little microscopic robots that are injected into your body to maintain a good health for you... Thats a really cool concept; so when your body is infected with bacteria, it could automatically start attacking those bacteria and leave you healthy in seconds... The only downside to that is if it gets into the wrong hand, our world would be kinda like the 1984 or THE BIG BROTHER... they can monitor our thinking and ou

Scientists have developed a light-triggered switch to control brain cells, which could aid in the development of therapies for epilepsy and other diseases--and shed light on the neural code. Scientists can now turn on and off specific parts of the brain with a simple flash of light. The new molecular tool, developed by scientists at MIT and Stanford, allows unprecedented control over the brain and could lead to more-effective treatments for epilepsy, Parkinson's, and other diseases.

Determination The Degree Of Crosslinking Of Polyethylene
While researching the properties of crosslinked polyethylene, i had made many searches by the internet to find a method of determination the degree of crosslinking of PE. And i found some standarts like ASTM D2765, EN579, ISO 10147. But all of them were for a cost of above 50$. Even they were for 1$ i would not buy them.

New Film "expelled: No Intellegence Allowed"
There is a new film out decrying the injustice that proponents of ID are not being taken seriously as scientists. Or wait a minute... Is this really just propaganda to help the fundie Christians invade and reclaim science for the work of God?
