There is a growing chorus of Americans who believe the U.S. never actually landed on the moon. And given the fact that the shuttle can be brought down by a piece of foam, I'm starting to wonder (though I still believe). What do you think?

Many people on this site seem to think that an object has to be spinning before it can have a gravitational effect. I am curious where they get this (obviously false) idea. Where is the educational system going wrong?

Well i see that the solar system must be the sun and 8 planets revolving around it and two belts one between Mars and Jupiter (asteroid belt)and the other after Neptune (Kuiper Belt or the plutons as they named)..... and so we could say that the solar system is the sun followed by Mercury then Venus then Earth then mars then the Asteroid belt (containing the object Ceres that they now want to include as a planet in the solar system - and in my opinion it cant be called a planet) then Jupiter then Saturn then Uranus then Nepton then the Kuiper Belt (including in it all the plutons -Pluto itself and Charon and UB313 (Xena)-)
and so pluto is no more a planet and if u wanna call it a planet then dozens of other bodies revolving around the sun should be called "planets" how ridicolous it is, will we end having 46,592 planets after few years on more objects discovery or what!!!! think about it people PLUTO CAN NEVER BE ANYMORE A PLANET!
plz write your opinion

1. nucleotides like ATP ADP AMP............./make DNA
2. DNA make chromosomes.
3.ATP is energy packet.phosphate groups in ATP are broken to get energy.
then how it affects the structure of chrmosomes.
do we break chromosomes to get energy.
it doesent sound then where i am wrong and what is the actual story?

certain substances have different properties.some may b acidic others may be basic or neutral.
but as all of them have a basic unit atom so
Is it actually the atom and the subatomic particles who are acidic or basic in nature
i mean to say Are these electrons,protons or neutrons which r acidic or basic
if yes then it mean that sub atomic particles have different tastes in different substances?

This is not really a 'violent' question, I'm just curious if armed atom-cartridges can be used in firearm's and not just in missiles.

By 'make' I mean not only just a new kind of bullet, but modified to FIT a shooting weapon. Perhap's it not even a invention, just an edition of something with atomic powering. And no, I'm not plannin' to do'ris myself. Heh....how could I have access to that? Pssh...just shootin' blanks into the air on this one...

Besides Ellis Park Racetrack outside of Evansville, IN, that is. I was looking at a satellite map on Wikipedia, and it has places to click on that enlarge. One was designated "a little piece of KY that's not in KY". It was located on or around the Illinois/Kentucky border - are they referring to a casino boat or something like that, or an actual piece of land? I know Ellis Park is technically in KY, though I don't know how.
