There are four encyclopedia volumes sitting on a shelf in order from left to right. A bookworm starts eating through the books, starting from the first page of the first book, all the way to the last page of the last book.

If each book cover is 0.2cm wide, and the pages of each book are 5.1cm wide, how far did the bookworm eat?

As I see it, there is more than the odd chance that Asteroid 2004 XP14 will cause the Moon to wobble (hitting it is impossible, because it will be over 35% off from the path of closest Earth proximity and at a different angle or attitude), and that this wobble could easily have unforseen effect on everything from tidal waves (creating gigantic waves!!!) to trigerring unusual movement deep inside our planet's core and thus affecting the movement of its tectonic plates, which could therefor cause the generation of major seismic activity, even bordering on the cataclysmic (e.g. Setting off the San Andreas Fault, which is currently overdue for a major "spring-back-like" release of energy (something akin to when a grasshopper or flea winds up its super-elastic hind-leg muscles and jumps fast, high and far !!!). I predict that within two days of its passing by, even within hours, it will have been the primary source cause of major earthquakes worldwide, especially setting of The San Andreas!

Have the North and South Poles always been the same during that same described period as they now are, or have they reversed. If they reversed, would not the rising of the sun be immediately reversed in the sky? Would not that be the most logical explanation for the flash frozen mastadons found some years back in Northern Siberia. Is there any other scientific evidence to support such a happening? Is there any written recorded history that could support that happening? What could have precipitated such a happening?

I love to read on the toilet, especially gossip magazines for some reason, which after leaving the throne I could care less about; indeed, most men seem to enjoy this. However, I've never met a woman who does! Why mkight this be, and what is the scientific reason for heightened pleasure in lightweight reading while having a Richard the Third?

Gravity pulls the astronauts to the Earth while the ship propels them forward, thereby causing the orbit. Since everything in the ship is essentially falling, there is the sense of weightlessness. What if the ship is headed to another planet, lets say Mars. Will the astronauts still be "weightless"? Or will their bodies be pulled towards the source of greatest gravity? I get the weightlessness during orbit, but what if they are not in orbit, traveling a straight path to another destination? If they are "weightless", why does this happen if they are no longer in an orbit?
