Science & Mathematics - 5 July 2006

I want to know what climatologists who disagree with the popular media have to say about global warming. I would like to see an article that doesn't qualify (and thereby attempt to undermine the validity of the science) with the disclaimer that the scientist is funded by an "evil" corporate entity. If the study is solid, then quote the person without qualification, otherwise, don't waste the ink.

This is actually a legitimate question. Many modern day physicists believe we exist in a "brane" i.e., a layer of reality with somewhere between 4 and 11 dimensions - see "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene. Yet we would exist on just one of an infinity of branes. Supposedly the only exchange between the branes could be gravity waves. Human dream states are almost metaphysical in character. Could human experience while in such a state be influenced by other branes?

Researching a book, and I keep reading that some organic materials, like grease, can cause spontaneous combustion. If you tossed a French fry onto a puddle of liquid or condensed oxygen, would it burst into flame?

Has anyone ever witnessed or expeirienced somthing along the lines of this? i belive it to be totaly possible, and the quantum theroy of electrons( or the theroy of electrons being both waves and particles) seems to support the possibility.

This was a question on a recent driver's license test and we have found many facts about opening doors under water but very little about windows.

Here is a tough question, i'm really willing give 10pts for the person who can answer this question nicely.
Blind people who have never seen this world and they also don't what does "color" means.. Do do they dream? And do their color have colors? Since they even don't know Black & White, their dreams also cannot be Black & White. So what will their dreams like?

Hey, I just was wondering this morning that since everything in math had an oppisite, plus and minus, matter and anti-matter, well could there or is there an anti-universe?

Why is it salty?
At what rate is getting saltier (if applies)?
How salty was 200 million years ago when Dinosaurs roamed the Earth?
And Do you think that salinity in the ocean water (or lack of) may have contributed to animal life flourishing out of the water?
Does salinity in the oceans water contributing to what many people consider global warming?

These are in fact a lot of thought provoking questions in one. I appreciate your serious answer with references if possible and thank you very much in advance.

I have the problem (9-54i)(6-i) with multiply choice answers. The answer I came up with does not match any of the multiply choice answer. The answer I am getting is 54-63i+54i^2 which converts to 54+54(-1)-63i with the answer of -63i. The multiply choice answers are (A) 108+333i (B) 9i (C) 108-333i or (D)-333i. Am I figuring wrong, please someone help!!

Let's settle this once and for all. If you wave a flag in an airless world, it will go on waving when you let it go because there is no air to dampen the movement.
