ok with science i watch all these videos about these geeky guys ok the r very smart but they study such stupid shit what is ur idea on this subject like finding out how the unviiverse was created now i find this dumb because i mean what is the point happen about 65 billion years ago and it wont like happen again i mean if we do find out ow it started and when, then how is this going to help us at all name some topics in science u find dumb that r pointless to learn

i like science. It ties in with Philosophy. Good combo in my opinion.

i do wish to have a future career in Medicine.

see medicine is a sceince that is so important it isnt even funny but some things in scinence r jsut so dumb but ne way science is my favoreite subject casue it comes so easy for me

I don't think science is dumb at all. I think gaining knowledge is the most important thing that human kind has. Our curiousity and ability to let some of our curiousities be answered is something no other creature on this planet has(at least not in such a way as we do). And i agree with hocky, science ties in with philosophy in some cases and i believe they're probably the most important subjects out there.

Science satifies human curiousity to a point and that's the main reason why it's such a sought after field and such a great field in my opinion.

science can be pointless sometimes. but pointless will lead to bigger ideas and theories and it will continue

Im fascinated by the science you describe on how the universe was created; and you don't necessarily study that as we don't know how the universe was created. Although we know it is forever expanding (explained using the red-shift), but I always wonder if something expands it has to have something outside of the universe to expand within.

But mainly you'll study how our galaxy and how our planet was created. It is very likely that in along time away such planets as Mars will follow thesame route as our planet within its atmosphere. Also galaxy like ours (the milky way) our being created all the time. This may be needed to know for the future of our planet and all its excistance

Sorry for rambling on; I am so interested in this subject.

Theres not one subject at school I would say that wasn't worth while... although compulsive foreign language seems abit stupid. But that won't be the case soon.

it could be very well possible that the universe will contract, it's probably not forever expanding. And there's also the theory that the universe will basically pulse...shrink and then expand, shrink and then expand

I think science is great! Im not a natural science person, im more social science person!!!
Although when i continue my degree to be come private investigator, im gonna have to do it......ewwwwdead bodies

i live by science

Its very sure that the expanding is slowing down rapidly and a there are ideas that the universe will contract but Im not sure whether to believe it as I haven't seen sufficent evidence....



Oooh sounds interesting excluding the dead bodies....

Big Bang - Expand - Contract - fusion of all organic and inorganic matter (the universe becomes nothing). we see the same in stars. Coalescence of gases because of immense gravity, then ignition causes a star, when star burns out of all hydrogen or any other fuel, it begins to swell and expand, then in a very rapid time lapse it will contract into a neutron star or a white dwarf which in theory can be the size of a pin head and yet weigh that of a skyscraper.

This is only one theory tho.

tez

there is proof that all matter attracts to other matter, thus contracting over millions and billions of years..

"Its very sure that the expanding is slowing down rapidly and a there are ideas that the universe will contract but Im not sure whether to believe it as I haven't seen sufficent evidence....

-and you have sufficient evidence that it is expanding? just curious

theoretically they say if you put a matchbox car on a table, and another a foot away, in like some bizzilion years later the cars would be closer together because of the natural behavior of matter.

Did you guys ever think of what is inside an atom...i mean inside the smallest part of an atom? who's to say there isnt another universe inside of that?

Who's to say what the largest or smallest particles or objects are in the universe?

I heard once in school that the density of the sun is so great that a spoonful was like 200 tons or something like that. One of you has to be in school, and can check right?

So I might have little universes inside of me??

lol, well...who's to say yes or no? we can only see down to what makes up an atom...whats inside that?

do we really go all the way down to saying...there's nothing inside it....nothing making it work.

ever think of that? what makes something do what it does?

well De. I think most of what science works on is important and some of it improves the quality of our lives. But I get your point, millions and millions and millions get pumped into things like astronomy, and when you give it a look it's easy to say that those millions could better be pumped in something with more logical use.

anywayz I like science and I love the most fundamentaly needed scinece of all HISTORY

sorry I got off track...yeah I understand also. So much money going into space travel. What about the bottom of the sea...i have heard many stories and would like to be able to check it out. They shoudl have some people working on that also.

People work on that as well, just not as muhc

science is pretty neat

Science cannot and will not explain everything. it is a tool to knowledge, but not a very good one.


Think about such things as:

Antimatter, Paranormal, Wormholes, Blackholes, Neutron Stars, Life in Deep sea Abyss, Mythology (tho its borderline on storytelling).

And new theories are set to blow everything we know apart for example.

Newton discovered gravity right, he proved its existence and all our knowledge is based on his 3 fundamental laws ok. This does not cover antimatter. Antimatter works on a different plain of existence (we can semi-prove that it exists now) but if we can fully prove it exists, Newton's laws will be blown completely apart. Im still trying to get my head round why but as soon as i can explain it (or semi-explain it) i will do.



Timetravel.

What do you all think?

Also where is the opposing force to gravity. there is always opposing forces. and dont say resistance or upthrust forces cos they are not true to every situation. Every situation has an equal and opposite.

Ying and Yang stylee.


~Tezs

I always thought, newton proved that two bodies attract eachother, so everything that is drawn to the earth by gravity, pulls the earth to itself aswell, there for creating the opposite force of Gravity

the thing about Anti-matter is true but Newton didn't know anti0matter existed when he made his laws

ah but thats not the case. yeah two point masses will attract using Gm1m2/something or other but that isnt the case with the opposing forces.

The opposing force would be repulsion. im talking gravity being attraction so what is its opposing force.

Have you heard of strong nuclear force. its basically a force in the atom which works over extremely small distances. were talking -10^6.

at some points it attracts but if the atoms get too close it will repel. hence there is an origin and an opposite.

Same with magnets and electromagnets and dipoles. there is always an oppossing force and they are equal and opposite. so what is gravity's if there is one. otherwise it is not a true force.


Ciao for now.

Tez

I only had one hour physics a week in high school so I have very lil knowledge about astro or atom physics
but I can give you the email addys of my friends who study at uni
mostly civil engineers tho I have one mate, one of my best friends, who's specialising in space aveonics (sp) and astrophysics so he might be able to help out

Get em to come on here man and c if they can tell me anything. I onyl have A level Physics under my belt. 5 hour a week jobby but i now study biotechnology so im fairly out of tune. but yeah if they know anything please let em solve my dilemma.

Tez

I can ask but most of them won't have time for this
