Science & Mathematics - 6 July 2006

In recent years science stories, documentaries and books seem to be more basic or undeveloped in intent and somewhat sarcastic in tone. Should some recent general science books be taken off bookshelves to be replaced with perhaps books regarding the history of science - essentially books that inspire instead of providing haphazard analysis based on TV documentaries and theories driven by left field discontent within the academy.

Do you believe children can be reared by wolves?

If this is true, then the story of Romulus and Remus and Rome is not so far fetched after all.

I saw some clips on TV of the astronauts in space and I noticed that there were a lot of old people there. I thought you had to be a young buck to be sent up into space... especially if you're going to live there for a while. Some of these people look like they're old enough to retire. What's the deal?

scienctist have carbon dated living aminmals and got readings that they are milloins of years old. They also have carbon dated reamins that have been found and one part will date different than the other by millions of years. So how is this an accurate way of determining the age of an object?

In history class, i learned that the mayans predicted that the world would end on December 21, 2012. Now I know the mayans predicted many things like the solar ecllipses and were never wrong about any of them. The mayans were way ahead of their time when they lived thousands of years ago. Also, their calander they created ends on they day they predicted that there would be a major cataclysm. Does anybody believe this?
