I would like to be a doctor, but what should my undergrad major be? I trying to chose between chemistry and chemical engineering. I am afraid of getting a chemistry degree because I do not believe their will be to many job opportunities available if I am unable to get into medical school.

Consider Einstein's theory of relativity. Given that our planet, solar system, galaxy, etc are in motion, is it conceivable that time (at least on our planet) is not truly constant?

If you bounce a laser beam off a surface at virtually 0 degrees and away from you, you will see where it hits the surface even though the light is going in the opposite direction and away from you. It would be the same as shooting a hose away from you, you dont get wet. In fact not one drop will reach you, so how can you see the laser light when not one single photon is reaching your eyes and there is no other light source around?

I have to write a report on the Petoskey stone. It's fossilized coral, so does it count as a rock?

A satellite will only orbit the earth for a few years before it will be forced out of orbit but the moon has been orbiting for 15 billion years, so what prevents the earths gravity from pulling it in? What keeps it going and why doesnt the friction caused by the earths gravity(the force that prevents it from flying away) slow it down?

I've looked into ballistics armor but they all fail to stop it right away. After reading that gravity pulls you down but eletromagnetic force stops you cold i thought i'd look into this. Magnetics are powerful but the levels to stop a ballistic are very high and unfeasible and not all balllistics would be affected. So i'm looking for some other answers.

Can someone please explain to me what EXACTLY the partial differential means?? I haven't done calculus since high school and this ∂ symbol is confusing the hell out of me in my chemistry major. I can't seem to imagine what is actually happening when this ∂ symbol appears.
.
Thanks!
