[QUOTE=Un.Hxx.Aé;17567265]I know science! There is another earth behind the sun and light has no weight at all![/QUOTE] You are wrong, there is no second earth, just a duo of planets called Water and Fire, and they are connected by a vortex-like bridge of constantly blowing air. One has no core and is a huge globe of water. Other one is like mars. Cookie if someone gets the reference.
more rockets = more science!

Okay, can some give me a scientific answer to my question about a robot?
why doesn't the moon fall down to the earth if it is being pull down by gravity? is it because of the angle at which it points to earth or is it because of SCIENCE?
Because of centrifugal force.
jesus was a scientist :smithicide:
Science is a pretty cool guy. He discovers stuff and doesn't afraid of anything.
[QUOTE=DrPompo;17578139]why doesn't the moon fall down to the earth if it is being pull down by gravity? is it because of the angle at which it points to earth or is it because of SCIENCE?[/QUOTE] It is falling towards the Earth, it just tends to miss because it's also travelling around the Earth. If you stopped the moon dead in its tracks it would fall and hit the earth, but the art of orbiting is to fall towards the ground and miss. This is achieved by flying fast enough to actually fall around the Earth and miss the ground. Fun SCIENCE fact: The astronaughts on the space station do not experience weightlessness because there is no gravity. The gravitational pull of the Earth at their altitude is only 10% less than it is on the surface. The weightlessness is actually because the space station is in free fall, like how you would be weightless in a free-falling lift. The reason the lift hits the ground and you die, but on the space station you don't is because the lift falls straight towards the ground while the space station travells at 17,000 mph around the Earth while it also falls towards it. This means it's missed the surface before it gets anywhere near hitting it.

I love my physics...
god is real ur all wrong >:(
Doing A-level biology and psychology atm, mainly because I fail horribly at maths and thus an attempt at physics would end just as bad.
i have resumed doing SCIENCE today.
Same here, planning my Dobsonian telescope, however the mirror is a pain in the ass to find and expansive too. I'd love if someone gave a good site that sells 8+ inch mirrors for a reasonable prize (around 250$)
im considering studying scince when i get out of school (physics)
I really like science a lot, but I seem to have no talent for it. Stupid math being intertwined with it. I really biology specifically. Animals, and plants, and shit. And amoebas and other single celled creatures as well.

Everyone back the fuck up I'm going to use science

I always find myself thinking about free will and consciousness. Two things I wish I could have satisfying answers on that I know I probably never will get answers to. I mean, surely free-will can't exist because the universe is deterministic in nature. Causality. Cause and effect. Something happens, and there's a result. True free-will would go against causality, yet... it's such a fucking convincing illusion... actually, am I REALLY thinking this? If the mind (as it should do) conforms to the rules the rest of the universe does then all of these thoughts were ALWAYS going to happen and I never really came up on them on my own. In fact, it would seem I'm just a passive observer in the universe with no real way to think at all... but how can that be? How can one observe if one can't truly think on their own. Is that not what differs me from this computer I'm typing on? How the hell can I be a true observer if I can't freely think about what I've seen? WHY ARE THERE NO DAMN GOOD EXPLANATIONS FOR CONSCIOUSNESS YET?! We've only got theories that are all muddled up and can't reasonably be tested (most are just absurd anyway). It may all sound more like philosophy, but I want a very scientific explanation to all of this (or DO I want it? Is that just determinism talking?). I'm tired, I'm confused, and I'm rambling. I'm sorry.
If something does not exist, despite everyone referring to it, then word for it simply means something else.
