Hi guys. I've been reading a lot about peak oil and how, pretty soon, oil will be $10/gallon, and basically how civilization will end in countries that depend strongly on oil. Is it possible, for anyone who knows what they are talking about, to relieve my fears of this doomsday scenario??? Or are we all really going to hell?

I was thinking that there is a big flaw... it states that a "cloud" was formed millions and millions of years ago. However how in the world did the cloud form if there was a time that nothing exsisted?

I want a solid understanding of mathematics - the foundations of it and such, so looking into the development of it all would be a good start I would think. I'm looking for book recommendations and/or website resources on topics such as.. problems that caused parts of math to be developed, history of math.. some good resources on understanding it all. All that make any sense? Can't think of another way to explain it.

I am familiar with the formula for wattage w=va but if a 12v 10 amp motor is run at 24v instead does it still draw 10 amps, or less? Or more?

If the amperage stays the same is the wattage of the motor then increased?

Not very original, but my personal favorite is Orion. I like how his belt is so straight, and also because the Andromeda galaxy is in the same vicinity and that's my favorite galaxy.

Why do people support this theory as the true beginging of the Universe? It's not even a theory for "How The Universe Was Created" its a theory for why its expanding. The Big Bang is: the universe was at one time a super-commpressed speck then, randomly, it exploded into the universe. THat doesn't even make sense, besides where did the speck come from?!? things dont randomly explode
--Newton's three laws of motion
and matter does not randomly apear
--Three laws of Thermodynamics
Do people believe in it simply it is the only theory that the 'scientific community' has come up with?

How Smart Is Your Right Foot? 1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it. 2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction. Why this happens. I want to know the reason.
