Look at that picture. Just look at it! Aside from its breathtaking beauty, it is eerily familiar. Does anyone else notice this similarity?

The horse head nebula! I think its painfully obvious how close these resemble eachother, and i'd like to know if there is some kind of reason for this. Sure nebulas are clouds, but then where is the gravitational pull that is helping shape these interstellar clouds? OH what i wouldn't give to see things from a larger scale.

I can think of absolutely no reason for going bald. It seems to me that I should have hair on my head to keep myself warm in the climate I live in.

In a city, there are P saints and K killers. Imagine yourself visiting the city.

If two saints meet each other nothing happens. If a saint meets a killer, the killer kills the saint. If two killers meet, they kill each other. What are the chances of your survival in the city, assuming you don't kill anybody but you can be killed if you happen to meet a killer ?

I am postulating that inertial force created by the accelerated expansion of the universe creates what we observe as gravitation waves. If I could somehow relate the gravitational constant of the universe to the inertial force resulting from the accelerated expansion of the universe that could go a long way to proving or disproving my conjecture. The problem is I don’t have nearly the level of mathematics needed to solve this question. Can you help me?

have a huge flying beetles with rust colored wings and a grey body, feather like antenas about 1 inch or 1.5 inch in length. Came out in the hot weather of 100 degrees, in southern Idaho RIGHT on the boise river, in a large wooded yard with ficus, maple, and apple trees. Already ruled out Spruce, and Pine beetles, as well as the mountain beelte, this is much too big to be one. I measured two of the beetles after killing them with Ortho home defense spray I was using for ants, one is 1 inch, another just over 1.5 inches. Help I need to know what to buy to protect my trees- if it's not too late.

Why are the lines of force between the north and south pole of a magnet curved? (eg with iron filings...)

Without referrng to Maxwell's equations (which is just a description), is there a fundamental known reason for this?

Does this relate to relativity or space curvature?
Thanx

I just read an article in Scientific American about how a piece of a Blue White Dwarfs mass the size of a golf ball would have the density equaling 1,640 or more tons. Then they went on to say that this matter is not a solid or a liquid but in fact a gas. Then it went on to state that a Neutron Star is even millions of more times denser. My question is how would a solid of a much lesser density interact with this much heavier gas? Would a lesser solid be able to pass through it? Could a liquid pass through this gas? This throws way off my layman’s understanding of Physics. Help from you experts please. I do not major in this so try to keep it somewhat simple. Thank you

I've never heard anyone answer this question. I've only heard them say, essentially, that there's a correlation. I want to know how the mechanism works. Why and how does CO2 trap more heat than oxygen or some other gas? Otherwise, if global warming is only correlated with a rise in CO2, couldn't you just as easily blame it on the existence of Al Gore? Since he's been alive, the earth has warmed up quite a bit.
There seem to be a lot of other theories that make more sense intuitively. All the black top we lay down absorbs and retains heat. All the billions of machines, appliances, and devices that operate daily (and weren't around 100 years ago) give off a whole lotta extra heat. All the cars and buildings with glass windows all over the world have sunlight shining into them and the heat gets trapped inside. They are all actually mini "greenhouses".

Hi yall (yup, he's from Texas).
(I thought of this when I was a freshman waking up in a graduate Astrophysics class at UT. But even the professor was having troubles.)

Stars have 3 ways to die. (Look it up.)

If all matter in the universe dispersed and bg radiation cooled except 2 atoms that re-combine in the 'center' (I know, no center in a raisin loaf or balloon surface), they constitute the core.

If all matter re-combines except 2 atoms that break free, they constitute the planatery nebula. So would it be safe to say, instead of the big crunch or big bang the uni will end as a "plantary" nebula death? part core, part nebula?

Just a thought while I eat my snickers bar... ;)

Can't wait to hear what Karman V has to say... he he.
