Since nerves act similarly to electrical wires would it be possible to remotely induce (small) currents in them to incapacitate someone? I recall stories about Tesla's early electrical transmission experiments that sometimes caused people to lose bladder control (!). Could fine-tuning the frequency/pulse rate, etc result in a Star Trek-style stun weapon? A sort of wireless Taser?

From Hurricane Katrina, to the recent storms in the south, to Hurricane Sergio in the Pacific, there seems to be a tremendous change in weather patterns. Has there been any extraordinary climate changes where you live?

Are we beginning to see devastation cuased by global warming or is it some type of cyclical pattern in the weather?

Heavy Storms Cause Damage Across South
Weather Destroys Skate Rink; Kids Inside OK
By JOHN ZENOR, AP

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (Nov. 15) - Lines of thunderstorms hammered the South on Wednesday, turning a skating rink into a hulk of twisted metal soon after 31 preschoolers and four adults fled to the only part of the building that turned out to be safe.

Your thoughts...

What excatly is alternative science? Either a study is science or it isn't. The laterntaive to science isn't science and so doesn;t belong in the science section.

I certainly hope Yahoo doesn't intend the "alternative category to be the place for psuedoscience: crystal healing, psychism, pixies etc. That would be so wrong in so many ways. There are alreaday appropriate sections for mythology and folklore. They don't need or deserve to be given undue credit by being included as some sort of alternative to science.

The building blocks for life have been found on other planets, even other moons! To believe earth is the only planet with intelligent life in a never ending universe is ridicious! Have they visited us? Was the moon landings actually filmed in Arizone? Man can duplicate the surface of Mars here on earth in Arizona. Think of the pyramids,the Hedgestones, Burmuda Triangle, other things that mankind could not have built back then. Are we the seed of another civilazation from elsewhere in the universe of ours or from one of the many other universes out there and if there are aliens out there and they are visiting us, its not for conquest. Maybe they are just checking out the seed(s) their fellow beings deposited here centuries ago. What's your opinion on all this? Are you a believer?

Species on this planet have evolved with immune systems to fight of all the diseases so individuals can live long enough to procreate. However, as far as i know all of the species have evolved to actually die so when the cell devide, the telomerase get short so eventually species die so why have evolution selected against immortality if its so advantageous. Or, is evolution INCOMPLETE?
