Science & Mathematics - 17 June 2006

It was June 10th.I was sitting at home(Staunton, VA) listening to the radio (I have a Philips AZ1574) and something very strange happened.I was listening to 89.9 and I decided to flip the dial around to see what else was playing.I turned to 89.7 and heard a station I had never heard before (and I know just about every single station receivable in the Augusta County area).I thought it might be the one from Richmond, but it sounded different, and it that didn't seem right, anyway, because we usually get Radio IQ from Charlottesville on that frequency.Then there was a different station on 88.3. 93.9, 95.3, 96.3, and on and on they kept coming in. Stations I had never heard of starting with the letter K.I could hear them clear enough, and I could tell what songs were being played, but I just didn't know who they were or where they were from, until I hit 102.3 and an ID said "Nebraska's Hot Country Y02."I couldn't ID any other stations but many of them matched stations in Missouri & Texas.

Is it possible for an object to move faster than the speed of light? If so, then if a large explosion in space were to launch a meteor on a path towards earth -- moving faster than the speed of light -- wouldn't it impact earth before our telescopes could detect it?

I don't want simple yes or no answers. I want explanations to back up why you think what you think. Go ahead and try to convince me that you're right.

Personally,I think it's complete bull.
The world is always going through warmer and cooler phases. Right now it's getting warmer because it's actually cooler than it was a long time ago.
The reason the Vikings were able to get to Greenland so easily is that the world was warmer then and there was less ice.
The world might be warming up a little bit but it's not Man's fault and nothing bad will come of it.

Once humanity has deleted itself from natural history, what species will rise up and take over? How will it evolve as it does so? Will it have opposable thumbs and fire? Will it develop religion which it swiftly dumps after it discovers our bones? Will it even be a vertebrate?

You always hear about the catastrophic results of an asteroid impacting the Earth, but what if it hit the moon? Would the moon break into pieces and form a ring around Earth, like Saturn's rings? Or, if its orbit changed, what would happen to our tides? Our weather?

If you have a deck of cards with NO face cards what is the p of picking a king?

I would assume the P is zero. Is there a technical math term for this? Or would zero suffice?
