With any star, the amount of energy a planet receives is based on its distance. The further you are the less energy it gets. This more or less means...
PP, I've gone over your two responses, and this is what I have so far. If I understand you correctly, every particle has a hole in its center,...
This might be a bit trickier to understand than I originally thought. I am quite unfamiliar with most of the terms you are using, so I feel I can't...
I'm not saying they don't exist, only that silicon isn't known to have long chains of hundreds of silicon atoms in contrast to carbon, which is...
Yes. Enzymes catalyze reactions by having a specific structure as their active site, where the substrate(s)/reactants bind to the active site and...
Yes carbon is preferable to silicon. Like carbon, silicon has 4 valence electrons in its outer shell which are important for chemical reactions, so...
Yes. Well, not me personally, but scientists yes. I think all evidence points to yes. Not that I know of, same with absorption (does a black hole...
In another thread in the science section dark matter came up. Pincho Paxton said that he knows what dark matter is, I assume through his model...
I'd be very interested to see where this leads. Can you talk about it in the alternate theories section?
It's pretty conclusive that dark matter exists, we unequivocally see its gravitational effects where there is no visible matter in any spectrum...
Since I can't post links yet, and that NASA site has a good overview of dark matter candidates in one of their links, I thought I'd just copy and...
If you look at galaxy collisions, you can see dark matter separating from normal matter, and from what scientists see they've concluded that dark...
I think that is too true. While there might be a few pockets here and there of people that are able to see this objectively, as a society/culture we...
If I'm not mistaken, the guy in the OP said that women have more than 1 Y chromosome :bugeye: I'm gonna take a wild guess that his level of...
That is a very good point. In biology and medicine, scientists and doctors don't look races, but haplogroups which are like clads. And in Africa...
As others have said, water is a very good solvent, because of its polarity. Also the way that water molecules are attracted to itself and other...
True, but their strength is a lot different; electromagnetism's strength decreases much more rapidly over distance than gravitation. Others have...
We can measure the electromagnetic force, it decays way too quickly with distance; gravity is weak but is carried incredibly far. They may be...
Thanks James R, that helps out a lot. I really wish I knew physics so I could understand the equations used, but I think I pretty much got it. :)
Pensive, If I understood you right this is your first year at university? So whether you go into biochem or biotech you'll probably be taking the...
