Hi Maast, Since it appears that we agree that some portions of a genome have a higher likelihood of mutating than others, I don't see how you...

Thanks all, this has been helpful Cheers, :)
I can't get my head around relativity and the equivalence of different frames of reference. I was wondering if anyone could help clear the issue up...
Yuriy, it does not make sense that a process is .67 efficient in terms of energy and .385 efficient in terms of power, power is only energy used over...
Yuriy: I follow your math when you say that N is max at v=(2gH/3)^.5 However, I don't believe that your number of 38.5% is accurate(and I...
Thanks to shmoe et al. for helping me visualize this.
OK I thought about this a bit more and I was wrong. My point is that there are two places you can potentially extract energy from a flow of water,...
HI Yuriy! Maybe I'm just not getting this, but perhaps you can show me where my logic is wrong. Let's assume side ASD makes angle 1 with the...
My initial take on this is based on the fact that I am pretty sure that water must flow through the turbine at at least the same rate as when it...
Huh?? I don't get it. It looks to me that geodesic is right. If two different lines rise perpendicular to a given base, they can never...
Just thought I would add a couple of thoughts here: Falling through the atmosphere is a lot like falling through a large pool of very small balls....
I am not really capable of following the ins and outs of this discussion, but these two points interest me. If you would care to, I'd love to hear...
I think we may be talking past each other here. I was only trying to make the point that if one does not know who "puts the throttle on" ie who is...
I agree with this, I was not intending to imply there were three frames, I just wanted to explain what the basis was for treating A differently from...
Hi guys! Thanks to Yuriy for the kind words. I'll try to make my reasoning a bit more explicit to show where I'm coming from (Disclaimer:This is...
I may not know what I am talking about but here's my way of thinking about relativity to avoid the kinds of confusions this thread is raising. We...
Generally speaking, Saudi Arabia is an extreme example of the problems facing the Arab world. In the broadest sense, the Arabian states problems...
http://www.sheldrake.org/papers/Staring/index.html is some pretty decent stuff IMO. Probably won't convince a rigid skeptic, but I think it is at...
I think that there are at least a couple of reasons why paranormal activities tend to produce inconclusive and/or inconsistent results. Firstly, as...
