Smallpox has been around forever; poxes generally even longer and they have infected everything from dolphins to grasshoppers with variations own individual strains.

Pox has such a massive DNA make-up at somepoint, could it have been the dominant species on the planet

As it can transmutate to just about any new host species, forever jumping to avoid eradication could it be that the pox actually predates everything else?

Could it be the reason for it's ability to jump so successfully is because it has in its' overall lifetime met everything further down the evolutionary order so it has a genetic memory making it easier to stick in the new host?

I am led to believe that mines use this system, using the "pit head fan motor" to improve the P.F. for the rest of the pit.

I was reading somewhere sceintists are doing some study about light. Apprently they have made the connection between light and matter, saying that all matter is a mass of stable light. The article was brief and i have not been able to find out any other information about it. I was wondering if anyone knows what im talking about and if they could direct me to any information on it.

Does nothing exist?
for nothing to exist it needs no physical properties. So is it able to exist seeing it doesn't really need anything to exist. so can nothing exist everywhere. when i try to picture nothing i picture total darkness but total darkness is still something.

I understand the basic mechanics of orbiting bodies -- they are actually 'falling' around the orbited object. What I don't understand is how the balance could be so perfect that even over billions of years, the earth stays in place. And many meteors and meteorites hit the earth all the time. Wouldn't these impacts eventually alter the orbit enough to doom the earth?

If you check the national or regional radar right now (3am Central Time) near this area you'll see that a huge storm was headed this way. Now it's completely gone for us...split in two and is actually reforming on the other side. This happens over this area (specifically McLean County, IL) ALL the time. Is there something about the humidity in this area? the elevation?...that causes this. Are there any weather experts that can explain this? Thanks!
