Science & Mathematics - 7 July 2006

All across America, concerned citizens are demanding that local schoolboards print disclaimers on science textbooks. Much of what science teaches goes against the Christian faith.

People in my state have developed several disclaimers which will be reviewed by the local schoolboards. I would like to get you opinion of them.

"This textbook promotes the theory that the Earth is circular in shape. The shape of our planet is a hotly debated topic in the scientific community, and not everyone agrees with the circular-shape theory. Due to the intense debate on this issue, this theory should be approached with a certain degree of skepticism".

"This textbook promotes the theory that large reptiles known as dinosaurs once lived on the Earth. This is a hotly debated issue in the scientific community, and not everyone agrees with it. Due to the intense debate on this issue, this theory should be approached with a certain degree of skepticism".

(Cannnot be expressed as fraction!)?

Famous, highly relevant numbers are everywhere.

Square root of 2
Base of Natural Logarithms
Pi

AND THEY are IRRATIONAL NUMBERS.

But what about

c = the speed of light.

IS C A RATIONAL NUMBER?


Additional Details

C = The speed of light
has been shown to be a Universal Constant.
WHAT KIND OF NUMBER IS IT?

Is there any sort of proof, or has any research been done - Mathematically, or in Physics?

Additional: WHAT KIND OF NUMBERS ARE

THE SO MANY

UNIVERSAL CONSTANTS.

(G, Plancks, etc.)

once maximum speed is reached in outer space (presumably by firing the rockets) does this mean the rockets/engines can be turned off and the spacecraft will continue at the same speed without power as there is no friction in space. Space being a vacuum? Also how fast do spacecraft go en route to the moon or mars?

I have been wondering if there was an acid that could be added to water that would react to the calcium or other minerals in it to split off the hydrogen as a byproduct???

Normally the distance of any planet or nearest planet family will be described in light years. That why I am asking the above question

Example: Is there anything, if we can call that a thing, that exhibits a state or quality that defy what we understand about matter. Is there anything that stays permanent( that won't undergo transformation) or defy any known law that describes matter.

Probes from earth often use plantes as gravity assists or slingshots. I guess I know that it depends on the size of the mass how much energy the mass gains and the earth loses, but hypothetically, if an infinite number of slingshots of earth were done , could the earth theoretically stop rotationg?

We utilize time as a measurement. It gives us the ability to create a unified point of reference which all of society understands. Other than this, what purpose does time serve?
