ask anything and either I or someone else will try to find the answer..(has to be legit..nothing personal)

Ill start off with a question and answer it too lol...

Why does the moon look so big when it first rises and then so small later?

The main reason is that when the moon is low, you have a frame of reference-other stuff on the horizon like buildings and trees and your brain gets trickend into thinking the moon is bigger than it is when its higher in the sky. But when the moon rises, theres nothing to compare it with except stars, which look tiny. It never chances size, it just looks like it does.

Because unless they are humorous...they are annoying and are an excessive waste of time and bandwith. And if they are humorous... they soon become annoying and an excessive waste of time and bandwith. With an avatar a one line post like yours above...quickly takes up half the page and makes threads that much longer which over time gets excessively annoying. Not to mention I dont have the motivation or the desire to actually find one and figure out how to put it up.

In nature, living things evolve through changes in their DNA. In an animal like a chicken, DNA from a male sperm cell and a female ovum meet and combine to form a zygote -- the first cell of a new baby chicken. This first cell divides innumerable times to form all of the cells of the complete animal. In any animal, every cell contains exactly the same DNA, and that DNA comes from the zygote.

Chickens evolved from non-chickens through small changes caused by the mixing of male and female DNA or by mutations to the DNA that produced the zygote. These changes and mutations only have an effect at the point where a new zygote is created. That is, two non-chickens mated and the DNA in their new zygote contained the mutation(s) that produced the first true chicken. That one zygote cell divided to produce the first true chicken.

Prior to that first true chicken zygote, there were only non-chickens. The zygote cell is the only place where DNA mutations could produce a new animal, and the zygote cell is housed in the chicken&#39;s egg. So, the egg must have come first.

The real reason is because Bush is an idiot...the technical reason is because the people in Iraq are too stubborn to accept democracy when they really have no idea that they are fighting for persistent brutality and dictatorship. But the Iraqis are not the only ones being stubborn, as the Bush administration is also too stubborn to accept there mistakes...take their losses and move on. It is similar to vietnam in many ideological aspects. The worst part of all this is that there is still a large majority of the people in this country that support the war and its causes. Nonetheless were too far in and we dont want the hundreds of soldiers that die already to be considered dying in vain..so we will continue the war. Your post was also very one sided in considering that only US are dying, while hundreds of Iraqis, often innocent, are being killed daily as well. But that question was bordering being more of a personal question than a factual one...

there is no meaning, it is just an experience. after all, if you didn&#39;t exist,
you would not be aware of it, and the fact of your awareness is what defines
experience. experience may be good or bad, but like all things, it
passes and then you experience other things.

Ok then to be purely technical with it its because Americans are dying in Iraq because Iraqis are killing them with various weapons at a rate you say is two times a day. The other parts of the the question have no real influence on the real question then, and infer that the answer be opinion related.

Saddam will most likely face his trial in Iraq with there being 3 options as to how it will be done. There can be a national court with Iraqi prosecutors and Judges, an international court formally established by the United Nations Security Council, or a mixed domestic-international court. The first one seems the most likely and would be held in Iraq. There are there downfalls in each court system and the second option has become almost obsolete because Sadaam has dont the majority of his crimes before a certain date. To answer your question : in all probablity, Iraq.

Even though in all honesty I have no clue who David Pearl is, there is no way to really tell if every person guilty in a specific murder has been accused and brought to trial in every murder that has ever occured. Through logical detective work the justice system does its best to ensure that the guilty parties are disciplined but there is no way of knowing that there wasnt someone else involved in some way, shape or form.

Daniel Pearl is the Journalist who was kidnapped and murdered when we went into Afganistan and Pakistan in search of Bin Laden. The video of David getting his throat slit and his head cut off still circulates the web and is extremely disturbing, even if it is not authentic. David left behind a pregnant wife, their child was born about a month after his body was found :(

To continue...ill answer some questions before they are asked since they are almost always asked.

1. Why is the sky blue?...It deals with the light of the sun and it reflecting of molecules in the air. Blue light gets scattered (spread) around much more than all the other colors from the sun, causing the sky to appear blue. The amount of light scattered for any given color depends on the wavelength of that colorr. Each ray of light from the sun consists of all the colors of the rainbow and blue has a wavelenght that is the shortest and makes it appear more dense in the sky.


2. When having sex, what does the term angry pirate mean?
Angry Pirate - This is where you proceed to perform a "Houdini" on a girl. With exquisite aim you launch your load into her eyeball. You then swiftly kick her in the shin and run for the nearest exit. As you look back over your shoulder, it will look like you are being chased by a one eyed, one legged "angry pirate".

People are dying in Iraq because many years from now, when Iraq is an ally, the world will be a better place.

Anybody in 1945 think that we would ever have the relationship with the japanese or germans that we do now?

People didn&#39;t agree about War in 1945, just as they don&#39;t today.. yet you don&#39;t hear about those people now. You just hear about how we won and have relationships with the countries that were once ruled by dictators who wanted us dead.

Thousands of people died in WW2.. in this war we have hundreds. BIG difference. This has been one of the most successful wars ever fought by the US in terms of the effectiveness and loss of life.

Anti War people just see "war" and begin to complain. Those same people would still be complaining if we had found everything that they thought they would and didn&#39;t lose a single life and don&#39;t try to say they wouldn&#39;t. It&#39;s just how it goes.

Bush is doing exactly what Clinton should&#39;ve done for 8 years when he was just sitting on his tail, screwing interns, and letting them go. I respect that Bush is a man of action, rather than a man of laziness.

They hit at exactly the same time since acceleration of gravity is -9.81 for both.

I was trying to leave religions out of it and give purely scientific answers that can be backed up with reason, while the belief in God is just that...a belief. (not saying it doesnt exist..just stating my reasons for my answer as opposed to this).


Apparently he meant the question in a form of technicality and pure fact..and not opinions of actually why we are there but how they are dying. And if you are going to answer it in a form of why we are there and sacrificing lives the answers become all opinionated because no one truly knows what the leaders themselves are thinking when they make these decision, for there may be various reasons from various people. To some it may be revenge, to others it may be fame, and for others its may be for the true well being of our country and theres. It varies from person to person and we are not in Iraq based on only one person so whatever reason you give is just a matter of opinion. There is no right answer to the question.

-9.81 is an interesting number in itself as well...its related to so many things in physics in the world around you its pretty neat. Some other numbers that are pretty neat are PHI and PI . PHI is 1.618 and is also called the golden ratio. The number is present an insane in amount in biology and alot of theorists believe that God used 1.618 as his building block for life. 1.618 is a ratio of a number of lengthis in biology from your bones to the petals on flowers. Da Vinci did alot of wokr this and he has a specific painting on it in the Vitruvian Man. PI I think everyone is familear with (3.14) and plays a large role in mathematics....Not really questions anyone asked but somewhat interesting/boring stuff anyways.

he asks the bellboy to go give them the 5&#036; he overcharged..

the bellboy seeing that 5&#036; is hard to divide by 3 thought....
I&#39;ll give them each a dollar and keep 2&#036;....(ya know for tip...)

so the 3 guys paid 9&#036; each for the room.... 3 X 9&#036;=27&#036; plus the 2&#036; the bellboy kept= &#036;29

The dollar did not go anywhere...Logically when you do the problem back over you are messing with the order of operations...mathematically it goes like this

[(30-5+2)/3]
(27)/3
9


9= [(x-5+2)/3]
27= (x-5+2)
27=x-5+2
27= x-3
x=30
where x is the original number paid for from the start.

As you can see it goes back to 30. That actually took some thought..nice one...the question intentionally tries to trick you though.

yeh but he said flat ground for the whole experiment and no matter how fast you fire it its still going to descend at -9.81 m/s. Yeh i guess if you could fire it fast enough then it would go into orbit, but no shotgun could do that and he was talking about perfectly flat ground where as that would mean that you are inferring that the ground has slight curvature ( which it does). Slight curvature goes against the orignal statement that the ground was flat.

Science IS a "religeon" tho. There are just as many "assumptions" with science as there are with God.

I actually have a LOT of "scientific proof" that my "religeous" beliefs are in fact accurate.. but if your saying that I can&#39;t use religeon as a "proof" to that question.. then your saying you can&#39;t use science either.

I still don&#39;t get the bullet question. Two items do FALL at the same speed. We did that test in elementary school with a baseball and a bowling ball. We dropped them off a building and they hit at the same time even tho the bowling ball weighed considerably more.. but when one object has an outside force OTHER than gravity (the shotgun) acting on it.. they will NOT be equal.

Think of two kids standing on a building with a baseball in each hand. If one kid "drops" it.. and the other kid "throws" it.... the thrown ball will get there faster.

Doesn&#39;t terminal velocity play into this? I am not a physics guy at all, but I thought that something falling, will only fall so fast...so even if something was thrown, it would get the initial boost, but then would slow down to the fastest speed it would fall...so even though one ball would be farther, they would still be going the same speed after the initial velocity of the throw.

Or, I may be full of crap.

Something can fall as fast as something can go...but it accelerates downward at the same acceleration even with an initial velocity.

Smooth I think your misunderstanding it...your not throwing the ball "down" your throwing straight out...

and in science there is scientific theories..in religion theres beliefs. I am trying to use scientific theories in this and not beliefs, but your right another answer to the duck question would have been yours.

your bodies waste system doesnt work like that...often when your body gets rid of something it has gone through a process before in which it takes in the nutrients and discards the rest often this process can take a long period of time. So you did, whether you like it or not, eat something..it just may have been a day or two ago. I dont know exactly how long it takes for a person and its not something I really care to look up..but I know it can take longer than what your thinking (like 1 to 2 days). If someone else wants to research it..feel free.

I really dont want to get into the digestive system or any other **** like that...it sounds like your interested in poop so go to www.poopreport.com (http://www.poopreport.com) its "Your #1 source for your #2 business"...not really a scientific site but entertaining nonetheless. You can find everything youll ever need there from the "Official Poop for Peace Day" to the "ass muffler"...enjoy

Or, I may be full of crap.

Okay, you want to go from point A to point B. You will have to do half of the distance first. then, you will have to do half of the remaining distance. then, half again. Try to do it until you reach point B? Lol &#33;&#33;&#33; this theory is not working :lol: You will never reach it

?..... I dont understand what it has to do with the original question of the bullet. Im no Issac Newton, but I can tell you that there is no terminal velocity or anything else other than downward acceleration at -9.81 and that the 2 bullets will hit at the same time. This theory has been proven time and time again. Terminal velocity relates to drag caused by friction against the weight of the object. When the drag is equal to the weight of the object acceleration becomes zero, in which, yes, the object will be going as fast as it can go in that enviroment. Now you two are wrong for two reasons....reason one to put it simply, the question implied a frictionless environment (not directly stated but usually inferred when this question is asked as in all the majority of regular physics problems not related directly to friction)...terminal velocity relates directly with friction and drag caused by the air. The second reason you are wrong is because the 2 objects are both bullets from the shotgun and therefore their coefficient of friction is the same. Now (trying not to get technical) since they both have the same coefficient of friction (basically its a measurement to see how something is affected by friction) even if this wasnt in a frictionless environment, in which there was some form of drag, no matter how fast the bullet being fired from the shotgun goes it will still go down at the same speed as the bullet that is dropped. How fast it is going perfectly horizontal has no relationship whatsoever on the acceleration downward. Now these bullets are going down from shoulder height so they are NO where near their terminal velocity (just think if you drop a ball 5 or 6 feet..do you think that really is as fast as it will accelerate?) under normal circumstances. Now it IS possible that a bullet will hit its terminal velocity (there is no set number for any object), but there would have to be some RIDICULOUS wind going straight up (since a bullet is designed to go through air without being affected to much by friction). There was no mention of wind or any other form of friction in the problem. So basically if you are not understanding anything that im saying, for this question to have anything to do with terminal velocity there would have to be some form of friction caused by the air for one bullet and not the other bullet. Alot of times it can be hard to comprehend that speed (velocity...sort of) often times has nothing to do with acceleration of somethign in a different direction. In this problem that is exactly the case...the initial speed of the bullet being fired has nothing to do with the acceleration at which they are both descending. And Noldhor I honesty have no clue what theory that is or what theory you are talking about...

It has absolutly nothing to do with the original question, I just started a new thing to entertain people:) Well, search the web and u will find, sorry i dont remember the exact name of this theory but in our philosophy course at college we spoke a lot abt that.

here is another one:

What will happen if a missile able to destroy anything meet an indestructible wall?

Think abt it, the missile can destroy absolutly anything, and the wall can resist to absolutly anything :thumbs:

ahhh i get what your saying now about the a to b---i thought you were referring to the physics problem :x . Anyways yeh even though it wasnt a question its similar to how when you multiply fractions you can never get a whole...just more fractions.

As far as your question though..there is no such thing that that is indestructible (unless you consider nothing a thing..which its not; its just a concept) and there is no such thing that that can destroy anything...so the question isnt really legit.

While there is a number of treatments for rashes (most common rashes fit under the same area, so by announcing that you had a pubic rash only makes you look like the dumbest person I have ever heard in my entire life), my best recommendation would to be see your local doctor so he can prescribe a prescription for you and search the area to make sure everything else is in tact. However if you are the more practical type I suggest you just jump off a bridge and end any misery you may be encountering for good. For more info on killing yourself go to http://www.gokillyourself.com/ ...if you get an error that no such site exists, then I highly recommend you just follow the instructions in the link itself since the webmaster probably did the same.

As far as your question though..there is no such thing that that is indestructible (unless you consider nothing a thing..which its not; its just a concept) and there is no such thing that that can destroy anything...so the question isnt really legit.
You got the good answer :thumbs:

The answer is simply: impossible or N/A

It has absolutly nothing to do with the original question, I just started a new thing to entertain people:) Well, search the web and u will find, sorry i dont remember the exact name of this theory but in our philosophy course at college we spoke a lot abt that.

here is another one:

What will happen if a missile able to destroy anything meet an indestructible wall?

Think abt it, the missile can destroy absolutly anything, and the wall can resist to absolutly anything :thumbs:
lol, the **** that philosophy majors study is ridiculous

This is the same idea of.. If God can do anything, can He create a rock that even he can&#39;t pick up and move.

We talked about that at church many times :P

Also.. no one has convinced me about the bullet question yet. There is still no way that they would hit at the same time.

The speed with which the bullet exits the gun will cause it to hit the ground much faster than if you just drop it. Even if you THREW the bullet to the ground from your hand, rather than dropped it.. it STILL wouldn&#39;t get there as fast as a gun shooting it to the ground.

I understand FULLY all of the physics and velocity theorem&#39;s and proofs that you all are talking about. They do NOT apply when there is an ouside force acting on only one of the two objects. The gravity pulling on both will be the same.. but the one coming out of the gun will ALSO have the speed of the gun firing added to it. The other is merely gravity and nothing else.

For the bullet.... any type of projectile weapon is going to have an arc.
You can see that in most fps... :P
But assuming that you fire parallel to the ground
(Although there is not really any such thing as the earth has an arc also)
The bullet may travel at 2600 fps (2+ football fields) horizontally, but vertically it will still fall at only the rate of gravity.
That means it won&#39;t go very far before grounding, however if you fire
up, then that is a different story....

if you believe that the traditional concept of god is silly,
then you apply that to this question also.

I tried to find a physics site where it would explain it..but I just found this instead (same idea)..it&#39;s a computer animation but you&#39;ll get the idea. Just imagine this except with a bullet thats going much faster...(same results). Your not shooting the bullet AT the ground, your shooting it parallel to the ground straight out. If you shot a bullet at the ground it would get there MUCH faster than if you dropped it..no one is doubting that.

Shooting it at the floor......DUH :rofl: :rofl:

ok.. I was under the understanding that you were shooting it AT the ground while DROPPING the other bullet.

I totally understand the other way tho. Just didnt know thats what you were doing :)
