Humans are no-longer so subsetable to natural factors. Therefore, many people think that humans are no longer evolving due to the lack of natural selection.

However, maybe we are currently evolving FASTER THAN EVER!!?

For instance, humans are no longer "weeded out" due to diseas ... therefore, these humans continue to live and breed whereas before they would not have.

Also, soon we will be able to MODIFY ourselves with gene-therapy. We will be able to eliminate undesirable traits and include missing traits in our childeren.

Evolution is really about modifying genes. Humans will have more modified genes from one generation to the next that ever before ... Therefore, is evolution now completely up to our own desires?

There is an absolute 0: 0 Kelvin. Is there an absolute maximum temperature based on the following assumptions?
- speed of light is the absolute maximum speed at which matter could go
- "temperature: measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter" ( http://www.answers.com/topic/temperature )

So maximum temperature would be that of the heaviest particle known to man going at the speed of light?

If a supersonic jet left New York at noon on Monday, traveling westward around the world and arrived back in New York after only 23 hours of flying, would the pilot arrive at 11:00 AM on Monday, an hour BEFORE he left?

I'm guessing the International date line would mess this up, but I was hoping for somebody to give me a more definitive answer.
