Some consider glass a liquid, have you heard this, someone back me up. It flows, though extremely slowly. Old glass panels are thicker at the bottom because the glass slowly flows because of the pull of gravity.

What are your opinions, can anyone settle this for me

When researchers need to develop a drug or medication that will ultimately benefit multitudes of people, they turn to certain animals for tests and trials.

Animals have provided us with many answers regarding a vast amount of human diseases of illnesses over the years. As a famous ad once said: "They've saved more lives than 911."

For those of you who are opposed to all forms of animal testing, would you please give suggestions or alternatives to these methods? I'm sure many of you already have some good ideas.

Since the colors we see off objects are actually just the reflection of light, what makes colors the color they are? Since all we see is the reflection of light how do we know that beneath the reflective surface all objects aren't actually the same color? And how do they capture colors to make crayons? Is black the absence of color or white? Since they are both crayon colors is there an as-yet-"unseen" absence of color...color?

Is it possable that we have been hear many times? If you do an experiment in a controlled enviornment you get the same results time and again. So is it possible that we have been in constant cycle for ever that will continue for ever? Lets start at a big bang, everything travels outward bringing us to where we are today as time progresses the universes momentum will slowly stop and gravity will catch up, pulling every thing back together. This would result in a big crunch, mixing matter and antimatter together, gravity continues to compact every thing together eventually matter and antimatter will reach a critical point causing another bing bang. Hear is the questioon , scince the univers is the only true controled envornment, would every thing down to the smallest particle happen the exact same way over and over?
