I mean, if you are China, it makes sense. Afterall, you didn't accomplish this in 1969. America did. But if you are America, why go back to the moon? What new engineering feats will be profitably conquered? Is the pricetag worth it? Why not just shoot straight for Mars, a place we have not yet sent humans to?

i know people who call the time and temperature number religiously... consult the thermometer regularly... stay glued to the weather channel exclusively... when it's very hot or very cold out.

why do you think people do that? does knowing the actual outside temperature give us some sense of control over the weather? does it make it harder or easier to bear if we know the difference between 103 and 104? are you a temperature junkie during extreme conditions?

From what I read, cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

How is this oxygenation different from oxidation, which I also remember reading is bad for us and causes us to get more and more cancer cells leading to cancer?

Bearing in mind that, in historical terms, it is only a short time ago that the most intelligent scientific minds firmly believed that the Universe revolved around the Earth. Also that the deciphering of the Human Genome was the final definitive step in human science – but has now been show to be just another skin of the onion.
It is not long ago that Science was investigating entropy and predicting the Heat Death of the Universe, That soon glaciers could be expected to advance over Regents Park London.
Recently Medical Science predicted that --- using antibiotics -- Gonorrhoea, Tuberculosis and many other plagues would be erased forever. Dr Ken Harvey, director of. Microbiology at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia, where a particularly virulent strain of MRSA bacteria swept through the wards, said recently: 'We may, look back at the antibiotic era as just a passing. phase in the history of medicine, an era in which a great, natural resource was squandered and where the bugs proved smarter than the scientists. He is especially critical of 'doctors who constantly use broad-spectrum antibiotics an indiscriminate drug which kills a wide range of bugs in circumstances where they are unnecessary. " Broad spectrum, antibiotics are the refuge of the diagnostically 'destitute". he said.
Vaccination was to protect the young --- but has now been shown to be responsible for many types of Autism --- due to the Mercury included in many vaccines. A parent who said he believes his two autistic children were harmed by vaccines applauded Congress for requesting a new investigation. The parent, Jared Hansen of Framingham, said he thinks the CDC is reluctant to expose dangers of thimerosal because the agency is responsible for ensuring public acceptance of its vaccination program.

"They've proven far more willing to overstate the risks of disease and understate the danger of vaccination," Hansen said. "No one in their right mind can say that giving mercury intravenously is a smart thing to do."

Autism rates soared during the 1990s when thimerosal was most heavily used in childhood vaccines. Levels of mercury injected into infants were 120 times greater than federal safety limits for oral ingestion of mercury, congressmen wrote to the NIEHS.

Government officials asked manufacturers in 1999 to remove the mercury-based preservative from vaccines, but it is still used in flu and tetanus shots.

It has long been known that efforts to infect rats with Syphilis is useless. Now we have a Supermouse that simply kills off any attempts to inject it with Cancer. Its immune system is highly effective.
In view of the item on the Heat Death of the Universe , why are we now involved in a panic about Global Warming?. The “hole” in the atmosphere, supposedly getting bigger due to Refrigerator Gas , was only recently discovered . We have NO records of its expansion and contraction over some centuries , so how can we predict anything!.
Considering these few items ,culled at random , its is obvious that at any given moment Science is just a “ragbag” of postulates firmly based in a sea of sand.
Why then are scientists so well paid when Astrology is probably more firmly based than Astronomy --- and what exactly – is a Black Hole , the “Superstrings” that wander through our universe as if it were a Ghost , a Phantasm.

In Excel, using the formula, =(A1-A2)/ABS(A2), it tells me that the percentage difference between 829 (A1) and -17 (A2) is 4,976.47%. By way of further example, Excel is telling me that the difference between 2427 and 270 is 789.89%. Is this correct? If someone could spoon feed this one to me, I'd appreciate it.
