Yes, I have. I'm from Saturn, remember?Originally posted by C Elegans:

Never heard of anything like this.Originally posted by josh:
<STRONG>I've heard that the earth swaps the magnetic poles around periodically. This means that the north pole will become the south pole and vice versa. There will be a period where there will not be magnetic poles so we will lose our magnetic shield thus leaving us exposed to large amounts of cosmic radiation. I would like to know when this swapping of the poles will next occur?</STRONG>
Could be, though. I heard something about this, but I don't recall anything about a loss of the magnetic poles. IIRC, the swapping occurs without a loss of the magnetic poles.Originally posted by josh:

I do not recall what is causing the Moon to move away from the Earth, but I am positive that it has nothing to do with the roations of the Earth and Moon.

Right, but thisOriginally posted by C Elegans:
<STRONG>However, in your next post, your description of the centrifugal force and the gravital force in the earth-moon system is correct. The slower rotation of the earth, decreases the energy in the system. The moons increasing orbital speed will result in it's breaking free from earths gravity, so to speak. If nothing else happens before that causes us to loose our nice moon

Oh, I see - I thought you meant that the rotation speed had no effect on the moons' going away from earth. I never meant the rotational change was the cause of decrease in gravity, gravity is depening on mass. What I tried to say was that earth rotates slower, transfers energy to the moon, and the increase of orbital speed of the moon will cause it to escape earth's gravity field because of the centrifugal force. its funny that this question was reasently asked in Metro (a free london newspaper). Some one wrote in and gave what i think is the right answer. He said that the egg came first since a bird that was almost a chiken laid a chiken egg.Originally posted by Bloodstalker:

But now for a hard one....which came first the chicken or the egg???? huh??huh???

. First of all. What would you do? tell blind people that they are not allowed to have children.Originally posted by Ivan Cavallazzi:

b) The fact that we are out of the natural selection mean that biologically we are walking in wrong way. Our specie is in an involution process. People that should die by the Natural selection (like blinds, ...) still alive and procriating, so bad genetic data keep in the humans, making then involute. Is this correct?
</STRONG>
A similar question to this is what happens to light when it reaches the edge of the universe? I can neither answer this or your question.Originally posted by Tom:
one thing i have never understood is what is supposed to be beyond the expanding border of the universe!? the universe is not curved into a ball so you will not arive at your starting point if you go straight in a line for long enough. I think. does anyone know? but if not - what about earlier in the history when the univers was much smaller was the univers folded in to a sphere?
First, I like a lot your signature. Pink Floyd is my favorite band.Originally posted by Tom:

Most blind peoples children do not become blind. for more serious decieses like huntingtons we leave the choise open to parents to have a scan and aportion.
Second. no the human speices is not revercing its evolution. we are no longer evolving and have not been for at least 10.000 years.</STRONG>

About what to tell to the blind people: I'm not enter in ethical or moral results. And of course we must save all lives and let them procriate as normal. It was a cientific observation . And the blind was only an example. I was talking about all kind of sikness. As a sick human can survive with the medicine, and then procriate, the wrong genetics data still in the humanity.
It make some sense. When the european people(good medicine) start to colonizate the South America people (indians in neolitical stage of evolution) they perceive that the Europeans were much more sick than the indians; and lots of indians dies because of the european sick.
What do an specie evolute is the natural selection, and with we are out of the selection then we are stagnate. If we remain with ours sickness then we are genetically involuting. Ours body are becoming weak and sick, without medicine of course.</STRONG>
Hn. When a question like this is posed and you don't believe God exists, one should either refrain from giving an answer or give a "hypothetical" answer. Your answer is offensive.Originally posted by Tom:

He has no choice since he doesn't exist.
Sorry guys - i tried not to but i was too weak
I answered this previously. It is not know for sure the shape of the universe, but there are two basic possibilities.Originally posted by Tom:

When the univers was smaller the effect of gravity on the shape of the universe would have been much greater or so it seems to me.Originally posted by Sailor Saturn:
<STRONG>
Also, when the universe was smaller only means that all particles in the universe were closer to the starting point of the big bang, not that the outer border of the universe was smaller.</STRONG>
but i think what i said was just a bit of fun. After all i just expressed my opinion although in a slightly silly way.
