I'm having trouble with my chemistry project due on Monday and the teacher didn't say what it'ss about specifically and so I'm guessing it's about the body since some of the topics given were about the body

OK, so maybe I didn't add enough detail... if a point source of light (lets say a galaxy far, far away..pun intended) contains X photons/sec that are directed toward our own planlet, based on the distance (beyond 13 billion light years just for fun, imagine a shpere 13billion light years in radius and our planet as a single point on the sphere) and potential interference of matter (possibility of hitting a dust paricle etc. 0.00001% no idea on if this is in the ball park) how many photons /sec must be generated by the point source in order for us to detect that source today (given a collection/viewing time of 10 min with a 10meter lens)? in other words what is the required "density" ( yes I know the term is not correct) of light in order for us to detect the source? and the big one... how far away can a point source be and still be detected by our telescopes?

What will we theoretically find if we can go inside a black hole? Do the objects get destroyed or there is a seperate world there?

everyone talkes about space travel and exploration, but one thing has not truly been defined, Gravity. If an antigravity device is invented, then it would take less fuel and resources to reach and explore space. And to be able to colonize other planets or moons.

This is the most complicated organ in the human body. Some consider it the most complicated thing known. But it has one section which makes us unique, different from other living things.

The limit of the universe could be defined as 10 to 20 billion light years away, the distance light has travelled since the universe started. We can observe millions of stars and galaxies when we look into the sky towards our perceived limit of the universe.

If we were able to reduce this distance (same scale) the opposite way, getting smaller and smaller towards zero and then look into the new sky, what would we observe in this quantum world. Would we even be aware that stars and galaxies exist?

It posesses properties of non-toxicity and biodegradability which makes it a true green reagent to use in synthesis that prevent pollution.

I always hear about genetic engineering being used to make people smarter or stronger, but it seems to me that our biggest weakness as a species is that we are so cruel.
Do you think it is possible (or a better idea) for genetic engineering to be used to make us kinder instead of smarter or stronger?

I know the predictable evolutionist response already, but maybe someone will surprise me.

But my point is that if we are nothing more than animals, who is a "government" to tell me to abide by laws? Why am I accountable to anyone but the supposedly unguided process that made me, starting with lightning hitting some soupy mess and rocks? Why can't I, like any other animal, do as I please without repercussions?

Yes I know, there are repercussions. Like if an animal attacks a cub of a family of different animals, the family might attack it back. Fine. But they won't put that original attacking animal behind bars and sentence them. It's the old "survival of the fittest" right? Who's bigger and stronger, and best suited to survive.

(here's where liberals come with insults of how stupid this is, without giving any real answer and also attack this as "the best you creationists can do", when in fact it's not. It's just an entry level exercise in thinking, not a "winner" argument.)
