Can scientists tell by simply reading the gene exactly what a person looks like? For example: Can they look at a person and choose from a choice of genes readings =what it says on the chromosome?

I saw a gorgeous thing looking at the sunset tonight. Up over the horizon on this clear night across Lake Erie... the sliver of a moon and a very bright star. Pretty cool.... look out at the moon now... see a sliver of the moon and do you see the star just below it to the right? Is it a planet? A star (obviously)? Does it mean anything (apocalypse)? What country's flag does it look like?

Why do you have to have a battery connected to a grid-tie wind power system? Can you connect your wind power devices to an inverter then to the grid? (PMG capabilities would not be greater than the inverter's normal wattage limits)

I hear it so much, but I have no idea what it actually is!

In my notes, it says "a matrix with real eigenvalues", but this confuses me further. Perhaps I'm slow?

There are also reportings of bright flashes in the sky.
Once I heard this I went outside for myself. I know the moon is closest to the earth at the moment, but I couldn't see the moon at all. Hmm? I then saw bright flashes covering the whole sky. Subtle but far away. Any news anyone? Something I missed?

This video claims that the act of observing particles in the double-slit experiment makes the particles create a particular pattern on the back wall that they won't otherwise create.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4237751840526284618
I read that it's not the act of observing that effects the particle, it's just that we can only observe particles that are hit by photons. But that doesn't explain why, if we don't MAKE photons collide with any of the particles, the back wall pattern is still effected by our observing (I mean, if we observe only particles that are hit by photons naturally).
What happens if we, in the future, become able to observe double-slit experiments made years ago on another planet? Imagine they took place some years ago, and the light has traveled to us during that time. Will those particles behave as though they were observed, although they cannot possibly "know" that we will observe them years later? What would happen?

for those of you who don't know what a liger is, it's a hybrid of a tiger/lion. note: a grizzly/brown bear still outweighs the Liger.

I understand how to do these problems, I'm just really bad at writing the equation for them. Here's the problem:
Calculate the volume in mL of a 1.420 M NaOH solution required to titrate the following solution: 25.00 mL of a 1.500 M H3PO4 solution.

I know once you get the equation you would multiply (25mL H3PO4) x 1L/1000mL x (1.5mol/1L) x (?mol NaOH/?mol H3PO4) x (1L/1.420 mol NaOH)

Thanks!

I am brushing up on some basics for a big test on March 13 at a college. It's placement testing, which is a test that shows your skills in math and reading and writing. Depending on the scores, they will put me in a lower math class or higher. I don't care for which one, but I need help studying math. If anybody is even interested, they can look at this page which will explain a little better of what I need to study.

It's simple to you guys, but for me, I'm an 18 year old calculator user. I almost don't depend on my brain so sadly it's turned to mush. If any body knows any good sites that help people study for math, than please show me!

Also, can any of you help me with this equation?

348.4 = 752
------- ----
16.4 = X

I don't want the answer so don't tell me. WHat I want to know is how these type of questions are answered. What are the steps?

Thank You.
