:rolleyes: Least biased, then.

Does anyone have any particular recommendations here? I am personally very interested in the history of the church, but have trouble finding good resources from unbiased sources. If anyone has any pet favorites, etc... I would love to hear about them.

Just because we don't know what the number is, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Are you proposing that the Earth can sustain an infinite number of humans? How about 50 billion people? How about 50 trillion people? 500 trillion? Obviously, there is a point where there are too many people...

I am 25. Very limited drug use (10-15 time pot smoker, lifetime). I do drink quite a bit though. Also, on the physical aspect of it, one night I fell down a couple of stairs (backwards), and landed pretty solidly on my head on some cheap tile on top of cement. I'm pretty sure I got a...

That is an interesting point about the concentration, Redarmy. I find that I do the same thing; if there is something I desperately want to remember, I make sure that I consciously tell myself to remember it, and that seems to help out on those types of things. Glad to know I'm not the only...

This is kind of a personal issue for myself. I thought I would hit up the smart people here at sciforums to see if anyone can help me out. I have found that I have a very bad memory for most things. Someone might ask me if I'd seen a movie and I'll remember if I have or not, and whether I...

Maybe I missed it, but why did nobody talk about teleportation? http://www.research.ibm.com/quantuminfo/teleportation/ http://www.sciam.com/explorations/122297teleport/index.html http://www.aip.org/enews/physnews/1997/split/pnu350-1.htm Instead of improving an existing design...

If the bricks don't float, wouldn't the water level increase? I would think that the bricks in the pool would displace the water and push it up, thus expanding and increasing the water level...

Infinity, by definition, means that every possible permutation will occur - no matter how unlikely they are. Obviously, there is a possibility of the Monkey typing the works of Shakespeare by chance, even if the probabilty 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (or whatever it is). So, given infinity...

thanks for the welcome wet1 I agree with you James but I have heard people argue against it. I was hoping someone would offer a counter arguement that made some sense.

I read an interesting question and i was wondering what you all thought about it. Hypothetically, if a monkey were to type randomly on a typewriter for infinity, would at some point the complete, exact works of Shakespeare be typed?

Yet another theory is that of 'infinite universes'. The theory goes that for every decision a new alternate universe is created giving us, in effect, an infinity of worlds. Now, these universes are interfering with each other a sub-atomic levels (interference patterns in quantum physics). So...
