Some 2.4 billion years ago when the Milky Way started upping its star production, cosmic rays--high-speed atomic particles--started pouring onto our planet, causing instability within the living. Populations of bacteria and algae repeatedly soared and crashed in the oceans.




The researchers counted the amount of carbon-13 within sedimentary rocks, the most common rocks exposed on the Earth's surface. When algae and bacteria were growing in the oceans, they took in carbon-12, so the ocean had an abundance of carbon-13.




Many sea creatures use carbon-13 to make their shells. If there is a lot of carbon-13 stored in rocks, it means life, the origin of which is still unknown, was booming. Therefore, variations in carbon-13 are a good indicator of the productivity of life on Earth.




The researchers found that the biggest fluctuation in productivity coincided with star formation, which had an affect on Earth's climate and therefore on the productivity of life on our planet.




According to one theory, when a star explodes far away in the Milky Way, cosmic rays penetrate through the Earth's atmosphere and produce ions and free electrons. The released electrons act as catalysts and accelerate the formation of small clusters of sulfuric acid and water molecules, the building blocks of clouds. Therefore, cosmic rays increase cloud cover on Earth, reflecting sunlight and keeping the planet relatively cool.




Although cold and icy times are generally considered unfriendly to life, the data reveals that biological productivity kept oscillating between very high and very low. The reason, the researchers suggest, is that stronger winds during icy epochs stirred the oceans and improved the supply of nutrients in the surface waters.




"The odds are 10,000-to-1 against this unexpected link between cosmic rays and the variable state of the biosphere being just a coincidence, and it offers a new perspective on the connection between the evolution of the Milky Way and the entire history of life over the last 4 billion years," said study author Henrik Svensmark of the Danish National Space Center.




The study was detailed in a recent issue of the journal Astronomische Nachrichten.

He is the epitome of everything that is wrong with football (players) today. I'd think there'd even be some usually blinkered Chelsea fans who'd think the same.

Somebody at work believes in it and the way I see it is they must have great will power because presumably, if they are getting married they will have been living together and probably sleeping in the same bed and well, you know..........

And frankly, you wouldn't buy a new car withou test driving it.

I'm not against it, just wondered if anyone could shed some light on the logic behind it.

has anyone heard of the "RAPO" game? how does one avoid getting into it? (if one is the pursuing male, not the initiating female)? It seems a lot of times it ends up like this with me. I think maybe I do something to initiate this game! (Im a male pursuer).

We have been married for 4 yrs. and have two boys. We have always gotten along as friends. She says that there is something that is "just not there". I love her so much and have struggled with some personal issues in the past. She tells me that "she does not see me like that". I assume she means as a lover. She doesn't work at all. I work two jobs and am a good provider for our family, but that means that other areas are neglected (including her). Now that I kinda woke up and realized how I have done many things wrong, I fear it's too late. I can see how she would be hurt by my actions in the past, but I don't want to just give up now. I don't want to divorce her. I want to be the man to make her happy. I am trying to be optimistic about our future, but she is extremely pessimistic about it. She thinks that we should just click automatically. She says that I'm a good husband (now) but she doesn't think she wants to be with me forever. I am desperate for some direction!

Our microwave it on its way out, so to give it a good send-off me and my mates have decided to pack as many eggs into it as possible, turn it on full-power, wait, and see what happens.
Hopefully there will be a repeat of the classic Michael Caine line "you're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off" (or door in this case, as there is only one door on it).

Does anyone have any tips on getting a good blast from it?

My dad is a Packer's fan, but isn't really big into Packer's clothing.
He doesn't work on cars (or have any interest) and works inside an office all day.
He is 45 years old, and I was wondering if any dads out there have aany clue on what they would want or suggest.
For the past few years he hasn't given us a list, so he's been getting crap presents from me and my brothers.
We want to get him at least something decent.
Is there anybody out there that has any suggestions?
