I am going into my junior year in high school, which should I take first, chemistry or physics? I am not quite sure what I want to be but I am thinking of being a vet.

It's 2006. Why don't people fly around with jet packs on already?

Chris Rock once made a joke about this lack of Jetsons-like transportation, but it begs investigation.

Why does the human body store fat endlessly?

Why isn't there a mechanism that determins when enough fat has been stored before it becomes unhealthy.

I mean, if I want to fill my gas tank more than capacity, the gas will squirt out of the tank. But the human body is like a gas tank which would grow the more as you put more gas.

It would be stupid to design a small car with a gas tank the size of a train. Nature should've predicted this.

Is Big Bang Theory an excuse to stop thinking?

I have often heard that we cannot say anything sensible about what was "before" the Big Bang. The universe as we know it began with a singularity etc. etc. But shouldn't we reason thus: if from this singularity there followed the Big Bang, this singularity evidently was not in equilibrium. In fact, from the fact that there is change - the only thing which I consider a fact, since even if everything is merely a hallucination, this hallucination is changing - we can reason out that this change cannot have begun nor will ever stop - we can reason that there has never been, nor will there ever be, equilibrium. Dontcha think?

You can never catch up in a race?

if two runners are placed in a track and the slower runner is given a 100 m lead the faster runner can never catch the slower because he must always come to a point the slower has already passed if both are moving at a constand speed. the fast runner will have run a hundred meters, bringing him to the slowers starting point; during this time, the slower runner has also ran a set distance, say 50 m. it then becomes impossable for the faster to catch the slower, because whenever the fast runner reaches somewhere the slower has been, he still has farther to go :)
