What holds the earth in space?

If space is a vacum, and gravity is described as a result or distortion of space and time. Surely space is not like a flat blanket with the earth resting on the blanket. Surely their are celestial bodies in all directions of the earth, below above, left and right. What holds the earth in this plane? If earth is held by the gravity of the Sun, what holds the Sun? From falling etternally or floating eternally in an aimless direction?

Bonsai Cat???

I've recently gotten 2 kattens and my cousins came over to look. They said that they wish the kittens could stay that size for their whole lives. My one cousin then said it was possible and they do it in Japan... He said it's called bonsai cats because they stunt them in bottles. is this true??

Is it possible that the extra dimensions are where our consciousness exists?

String theory and quantum physics suggest that there are numerous, inconceivably small extra dimensions coiled up in every measurable corner of what we experience as 4D space/time. Can energy have form and consciousness without having substance (physical matter). If so could this energy access and or emanate from these tiny recesses in reality?

How do I solve this integral equation?

Int: (x^3)*sqrt[(x^2)+3]

The final answer should be (1/5)[((x^2)+3)^(5/2)] - [(x^2)+3]^(3/2) + C

I really don't know how to go about solving this.

What are your thoughts on plastination?

Just a general opinion of it, whether it should be a tourist attraction in major city museums, or if you just think it's cool. Would you go to one these exhibits if it came to a city near you? If you don't know what plastination is, check out : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastination
and then look at some of the links. I think it is a great learning tool, but some people think it is disgusting or wildly inappropriate.
