Re: When It Comes To The Edge

Seems people are posting what they think rather than what they know. The question is basically supposing that the universe is a bubble. For that to be true, it would have to be expanding within something else--a bubble of gas expanding within a liquid for instance. So the question is, what is beyond...

Re: A well-rounded education

I'm 41 years older than that and I'm only now feeling well-rounded enough to get something out of a university education. So I'd recommend life, work, a long relationship with a significant other, and several large but not fatal mistakes. That'll take the edges off. ;-) But seriously, working at a ...

Re: A well-rounded education

I attended public high school in Westchester, NY but spent the last year of my education in Vermont. In NY I was not required to take a full four years of all the basic subjects. I only had to take one year of Math and I think two years of Science. This allowed me to work exclusively on what I thoug...

Re: 2012! Is it happening?

According to some science show I saw on some channel on cable--I'll watch anything in HD except Teletubbies--a shift like the one your describing would happen very quickly. And by very quickly I do not mean 1,000 years or 100 years, but almost instantaneously (a day, five hours perhaps). Nope. The ...

Re: 2012! Is it happening?

This is just a crazy post with a hint of seriousness. With all the recent massive earthquakes that have been happening, is this a sign of a pole shift? Poles don't shift. The magnetic poles reverse every few hundred thousand years, which has no known geological impact. The rotational pole precesses...

Re: 2012! Is it happening?

It is worrying that Yellow Stone hasn't blown its top in a long while. We don't really want it to blow though do we? Nuclear winter and all that jazz? I suppose thats why it is the biggest danger, and I agree with that. I was just thinking today (because I seen in the paper about an eruption) that ...
