I like looking on Google sattelite, but what would be an awesome thing to see? I'm looking for something that takes up a large area, but not in height like a building. What is the biggest building or manmade structure that runs horizontal? I want to see it!

"Jim the Wonder Dog" existed in the US during the depression. He seemed to be a normal setter untill he started responding to questions in any language, spoken or written, including questions about color, which dogs are not supposed to be able to see. In the beginning, people were suspicious that his owner was somehow able to send secret commands to the dog. But then the dog was taken before a group of scientists and scholars, and numerous questions were asked, and written, even in ancient languages, and about people, places, and events in other Places and Times. This was filmed, but later when aproached by a major film company, the owner of the dog would not agree to profit with anyone . He said that it must be a god given gift and that it should not be abused for money. There are Millions of results on Google and Yahoo combined about "Jim the Wonder Dog", but alas Wikipedia , despite movie and book know nothing. Explain amazing powers if any know anything ???

Someone told me recently that if you put Mentos in a 2 liter bottle of soda it will explode.

Has anyone done it? I have a kid that wants to try it. Is it dangerous?

I did not ask this question because I do not believe in God. I am a scientist who does believe in God. I just wanted to see what other people thought.

Emergence advocates such as Sunny Auyang and Robert Laughlin maintain that emergent properties generate basic laws but provide no proof. Is there any math proof that there is a barrier between basic laws and higher emergent laws?

As soon as the weather turns the slightest bit cool, I get shocked all the time. Sometimes when I put my key in the car door lock, you can see a spark. I don't know anyone else who it happens to as frequently. Does anyone know why, or what I can do to make it stop?

Could someone help me find the derivative of (tanx)^-1? Does finding it have anything to do with tan^-1(x)? Thanks.
