Because if you tell someone to think of nothing (like before the universe was formed) they'll probably think of blackness, but blackness IS something, so what would be nothing?

I live in Florida and from what I understand the water table is on average about 6' below ground level. All of the housing communities, golf courses, etc. have these man-made ponds all over the place. The developers dig down 6-8 feet until they hit water and then charge a premium for what's now "water view" or "water front" property. They also use that excavated soil for fill. Well, after about two years or so ALL of these man-made ponds are teeming with fish...mostly bass. Everyone assumes that the developers are stocking the ponds but I know for a fact they are not. So where do they come from?
I think birds are responsible but not sure. Does anybody know for sure?? any other theories?? Thanks in advance.

That we don't think there is a POSSIBILITY of other intelligent life? I mean really?! do you not think that SOMEwhere in this infinite universe there arent dozens more planets either WITH the same conditions as Earth or with Life that has adapted to other conditions? Whether you believe in God creating the universe, The Big Bang, or any other unprovable theory, WHY is it so impossible that :

A. The "God" That created everything and knows all could NEVER have been able to make 2-3+ other planets full of life

B. The same type of "bang" Could have occured in the billions of years Earth has been here

or
C. we aren't the FIRST people to ever exist.

honestly?
So many people laugh when the phrase "intelligent life" appears, but really...is it that far off?
I'm not saying I'm searchin the skys for some bug-eyed green thing to jump out at me, I just don't understand why people don't keep their minds open to entertain the possibility that the universe -literally- doesn't revolve around us..

How do scientists know a skull belongs to a certain ape if like humans, monkeys can have different head shapes
The skeletons we see in text books and in the museums all seem to have the same head shape...but blacks, whites, and asians all have different head shapes...(longer, rounder, etc...)how do scientists know if the skull they are looking at then is human...and how do they know that a skill belonged to a Neanderthal since they probably could of had different head shapes as well?

and from what race does that model skeleton we see come from (taking into account it's skull shape)?

nuclear energy has both benefits and dangers. But it seems throughout history more has gone wrong with nuclear power than right. Should we even use nuclear power? Shouldn't we instead put forth efforts to find alternate powersources?

How did sex ever come into play with evolution? Why would it have been beneficial instead of cell division? Do you think that evolution could bring two different cells through different mutations together that would be able to mate together creating a female and male gender? What are the chances of that? I don't understand why mating would be beneficial when cells can just divide and multiply.

Can someone draw this up with a scale ruler and then do the rectangles or do the square meters in the profile of the scaled area? The first is 13.5 by 6.5 by 9.1m, then the second is 10 by 8.1 by 10.6 by 5.4 by 17.1 by 3.4. Sorry the first question I did put in the same numbers but in a different order. Yes it is an irregular shape of a garden area I'd like the area worked out to get the exact area to by the right amount of weed matt.

Now, Scott wants to be competitive with his pricing, so he wants to use mathematical modeling to figure out his costs, revenues and profits.



4. Scott bought the ice cream stand building for $2,000.00 and he will spend an extra $200 on the plywood ice cream cone design from Part II.

The monthly rent for the space his building is on is $150.

a. Write a linear equation giving the total cost C of operating the ice cream stand for n months.

b. Assuming that Scott can bring in $350 per month, write the equation for the revenue R derived from n months of operation.

c. What is the formula for Scott’s profit from n months of operation?

d. At what point does Scott break even?
