Science & Mathematics - 17 July 2007

There are a few earthquake scientists at my church who have been saying for awhile now that the "big one" is coming to L.A. at any moment. Obviously this hasn't happened yet. Does anyone have any reasons, scientific, intuition-wise, etc. that it may or may not happen?

I thought it was safe since it's not connected to anything but now I'm not sure. So, I was just wondering if I should have turned it off? The storm has pretty much ended.

On the tricycle above, the pedals are locked to the wheel.
What happens when the Force pulls in the picture above and why?

- I think that the wheel will spin the other way, making the tricycle drive backwards. Is this correct?

Thank you for the help

Has there ever been a documentary on the Planets and what they represent in astrology? There are so many science specials about the solar system but nobdy ever studies other aspects of reality.

Even if it's not proven, the theories of astrology are still worth pondering.

I would love to see that!

I'll have one which shoots blue or green laser/lazer bolts.

You baddies can have the ones which shoot red bolts.

Bullets are so passé.

Hydrogen is explosive. Oxygen helps a fire burn. Waters made of Hydrogen and Oxygen, so why doesn't water burn?

ok this might get kinda confusing but here it goes.
Lets say that we have 2 intelligent species with the same capabilities and resources in two diferent planets.
So lets suppose that one of planets speed is 1 km per second, and the other planet speed is 200 km per second.
Ok so the species living in the slower planet meets the species living the faster planet in a very very very distant future.
The species that lived in the slower planet would be more advanced than the species that lived in the faster planet, this because of time dilation right?
