I'm looking for a term or preferably one word that means "something which should not have evolved or occurred in nature but which has", I'm not sure such a term exists but maybe someone has heard it before?

My husband and I have been arguing about this. He keeps turning off the light in the room I am in, saying that the lightbulb is making the room hot. I know they emit heat, but enough degrees to actually feel a difference? It is a 60watt bulb in a 250 sq foot room.

why don't they fly the complete ISS to Mars and put it into orbit, with lander attached, the crew would not be bored on the long journey there and back and could continue with their experiments ! they spend 6 months now, with no problems

If there is some fundamental randomness, is there a lot or only very little? This may perhaps be answered in terms of the brain physiology, but I will also be glad to have answers that take into account our day-to-day experience. Smell, color, sound, taste and touch create a representation in the mind of the classical world. Thoughts are like internal sounds or images. It seems to be all classical. So, I tend to believe that thoughts are totally classical objects. I am interested into this question in the context of free will and determinism. Any opinion is welcome.

i seen a video on youtube about a planet called nibiru. and it said that its orbit was way off and every 3,600 years it comes by earth. it said that this would stop the earths rotation and cause natural disasters all over the world, plus kill all vegetation. so i researched and nasa had recently just discovered a new planet. but they didnt mention anything drastic about its orbit. so i was wandering if this was true or not?

It is probably a useful method for finding large prime numbers and even more useful for
identifying the sequence of prime numbers in areas where thesequence of primes isn't known
(since the numbers are so big).

Consider the product 2*3*5*7*11.....p ie the product of all primes from to 2 to some prime
number p.

If q is a prime greater than p, than why is it likely that 2*3*5...p + q = a prime number.

For example consider the product 2*3*5*7=210. And let us consider the consecutive prime
numbers 11,13,17,19,23,29 and 31. We get

210+11=221
210+13=223
210+17=227
210+19=229
210+23=233
210+29=239
210+31=241

Notice that all of these numbers are prime except for 221. We can do a similar experiment
with say 2*3*5*7*11=2310, except this time use the primes 13,17,19,23,29,31,37

2310+13=2323
2310+17=2327
2310+19=2329
2310+23=2333
2310+29=2339
2310+31=2341
2310+37=2347

In this instance were not so lucky in that we only have 2333, 2339, 2341 and 2347 being
prime. Obviously this method gets worse the higher you go up. However what makes this
procedure useful, is that it enables you to determine consecutive prime numbers (this is
why you may have noticed that there are no prime numbers between the four primes written
above, or in the six primes in the first example).

Anyone here would like take a stab at why we get these results ?

Figure 1 shows a specially constructed tank, containing a layer of air at the bottom, a layer of glass and a layer of water on top. A light source is immersed in the water.
The beam of light is rotated to a certain angle of incidence, as such it no longer passes through the whole container. Explain the phenomenon that casues this to happen and calculate the angle of incidence (theta t) at which this occurs.

So i have water on the top with refractive index of 1.33, below this i have glass with a refractive index of 1.52, and below that air with a refractive index of 1.00. The phenomenon that causes this to happen is called total internal reflection, i've already figured that bit out. I also have the critical angle of 38.1 degrees, so in the second medium, glass, the beam of light is at an angle of 38.1 degrees to the normal. I need to find the angle of incidence that the light beam is when it's going through the water.
Any help would be appreciated.

Contrary to what is read in the comic books being struck by lightning, falling into a vat of radioactive waste or being bitten by a radioactive spider is not the best thing in the world which can happen to you.

Having said this, is it plausible in our real non-fictional word to suggest or even prove that we human beings can possess powers comparable to that of fictional super heroes?
