I'm doing some research for a book, and I'm wondering what countries and areas would be in daylight perpetually, and inversely stuck in night, as in if there's a certain line on the axis and through which areas. Also, I know the effects of such an occurrence from another answer on here, but do you think it's possible for people to still survive, as in could they physically survive, and could they still eat and drink in any way possible...and if so, what would happen when the two sides flip after a period (a year I'm told), and would this flip be drastic or slow? Thanks ahead of time people.

If you found a calculator on the Moon you would conclude it was designed. Why wasn't this same conclusion drawn when DNA was discovered? It meets all the requirements of a "technology"

The conventional view is that we exist in 4 dimensions, x, y, z, t.

Physicists have theorized up to 11 dimensions with the possibility of more.

Living in 4 dimensions we appear to be able to perceive things that exist in lesser dimensions, shadows (3 w/o z), sound (2 w/o y and z), time(1 w/o x, y, z).

What is your reaction to the supposition that we, the 4th dimension, are the “shadow” of the 5th dimension, and so on?

With things like paranormal phenomena, we seem to be able to briefly glimpse other dimensions. Anyone want to comment on that?

I’ve always wanted to ask this but never found an appropriate forum before.

Have at it guys and girls. I’m really looking forward to this and feel its 5 points well spent.

I read that neadertals had brains larger than humans, and are believed to have come into existence 350,000 years ago, and gone extinct 20,000 years ago. I also read that people came into existence 130,000 years ago.

So my question is, is there a theory for why their technology developed so much slower. One would expected them to have launched satelites or gone to the moon 130,000 years after they popped into existence, like people have, given their brains. My book said they had bulgier fingers than humans. Is this what is believed to have made it hard for them to make technology?

So once again, the question is, what theories are there for why they didn't progress farther than they did?

Looking for sorbitol, tocopherol (vitamin E), glycine/alanine/serine (any one of those three), palmitate (vitamin A), paraffin wax, oat amino acids, lactose, lactic acid, lecithin, anhydrous lanolin, vitamin C, vitamin C ester, coconut oil, and glycerin.
Information on where to find one or some of those is fine. If I can get them all in one place, that's even better.
Information on how to synthesize or derive them myself could also be useful.

That the occurence of biological evolution is fact, and that we have documented its occurence? Did you know that to deny the occurence of biological evolution is completely illogical no matter what your beliefs?

Did you know that the only theory involved with evolution is the process by which it occurs?
