Science & Mathematics - 10 October 2006

Mathamatics is the best Catagory I could think of. Most thorough, comprehensive answer gets 10 points.

What are the two measuring systems? One of them is Metric. What is the name of the system we use in the U.S.?

Can you give the name of the system and the measuring inside of it. I want both systems also, Metric and the one we use in the U.S. I forget the name of that one, so if you could tell me.

THANKS.

EG: Metric System, Centimeters, Decimeters and so on.

It is known that the light and the heat of the waves that come from the sun, interacting with the microwaves coming from the waves of interstellar gases, supply the natural balance that gets to Earth every moment.
On the surface there are typical phenomena of elements that have instable atomic nucleus, a natural radioactivity. It artificially changes the radioactivity into an unbalanced condition, causing a cancerous nuclear reaction, phenomenon discovered years ago by the responsible for the nuclear science revolution, who, for considering it modern, discredited Earth’s modified radioactive unbalance. This vision opposes my consciousness, which only recognizes ethic and moral in science if based on natural scientific research, which may be accidental, criminal, professional or vicious, for the artificial exist to compromise life.

It starts off as HCH3COO + NaOH ---> H20 + NaCH3COO
Correct?
And furthermore,
What about Calcium Hydroxide and Acetic Acid?
Ca(OH)2(aq) + HCH3COO(aq) --> CaCH3COO(aq) + H2O(l) is the balanced right??

How will it be possible for us rationalists to discuss reincarnation, if we understand that a person loses, beyond the five senses, the consciousness? One only vegetates and when one dies, all the information in the brain is destroyed.
What would be the human illusionism that makes us believe in spirits, souls, saints and other abstracts that are not only based on DNA and RNA genetics (formed by billions of chemical bases) in the parents, passed on to their children?

Is it b/c the earth is round and it is actually rising straight into the sky, but we're turning? Or does it have to penetrate the atmosphere in an angle?
