im wondering why the ocean explorers like ferdenand magellan did not happen to cross to outer part of the earth (if really earth is floating in the outer space) but instead go rounding around earth (thats why i wonder is there a wall like eggshell covering the earth)

This is something interesting I saw on the history channel. It's about UFO's, but at and under sea. There were reported sightings from multiple countries during exercises after WWII - especially surrounding the FDR (first carrier to have nukes on board).

Leave the comedy at the door - not interested in smart *** comments. Another BAD answer is "Well, it's secret because governments are afraid of chaos among societies if evidence of UFO or USO sightings surfaced and were confirmed"... too easy... try again.

Consider all of the differences between human beings themselves and then consider the differences amongst one group of primates from another....
How can so many differences occur in evolution?

Please don't say it depends on the person. I would need to learn math for the field I want to return to school for, but have not found any math ability. I am very discouraged, and wonder if anyone knows how to best become good at math. I know, by doing it, but I failed Algebra once, got a D the second time and finally a C. Thanks.

It is said that in the entire course of human history, there is virtually no chance of the same exact pattern of fingerprints forming twice.But is it possible that this random,chaotic fingerprint pattern generation might result in a pattern to occur more than once in the process,on differnt individuals born at diffferent times .

Had deja vu. Before something even happens, you could swear you've seen it before. I seem to have this once in a while. I wish I saw some lottery numbers or something, or who wins the World Series.

First I'll start with my theory "When traveling to the past, the present you left cannot be changed because any action you take in the past would have already altered your present before you go to the past." Basically my theory states that you cannot cause what they call a time paradox because everything up until the point you arrived in the past and the present you left already happened before you left. Here is an example in case you dont understand. Lets say I grew up in a world without ever knowing Hitler existed. I make a time machine and go back into the past. Way back when Hitler was just a child. I miscalculate where I want to appear in the past and bam land my time machine right on top of Hitler killing him. To me he was just a poor kid in the wrong place at the wrong time. Any decision I make by choice will alter nothing because any choice I make has already been made. In my opinion it is more logical that the famous time paradox theory.Make sense?

If I am seeing one doctor then I see another doctor at a different office a few years later does the latter doctor have access to see my medical record from the former?

Is it part of normal new patient documentation for a physician to get access to this information? Basically I want to know about how my medical history is stored...are all the notes and stuff my doctor takes put into a computer where my new doctor or the hopspital can just pull up? What can just be pulled up and what requires special consent?

Thanks

If true, how is it that higher forms of life evolved with male & female sexes? If we are the pinnacle of the evolutionary process, how is it that we have the disavantage of requiring a member of the opposite sex to reproduce. Lower forms of life, i.e. bacteria, viruses, and protozoa are sexless and far more prolific? They can reproduce by far simpler methods, why can't we? How does evolution explain a human infant? I find evolution hard to believe in this respect. What about you?

Some said there is no difference during day or night, but some others said during night the earth' Magnetosphere is taller. Does that appear more protection during the night?

Some said lead is not effective to shield cosmic radiation, use plastic (polythene?) instead. Any specific brand that is economical and trustworthy?

Some said radiation during flights is minimal, not to worry, but data showed the dosage is over 100 times stronger than on the ground. If I have to eat 100 times more food during a meal I'd suffer, why wouldn't the same health effect occur here? If you try to have a whole year's sun light on your skin during one day, see what happens. So I don't buy the yearly dosage theory.
