Astronomy & Space - November 2006

It seems like I always hear that "there couldn't have been life on "X" planet because there was never water. But it seems to me that is only life as WE know it. I just feel like yes you are not going to have a human like organism without the presence of water, but why not some other type of oraganism that somehow has spawned based on the perfect elemental availability on another planet. I dunno I'm just talking. Any thoughts?

Sirius is the brightest star in the night-time sky. It is a binary star system consisting of a blue-white main dwarf star and a faint white dwarf companion, known respectively as Sirius A and Sirius B. It is impossible to see Sirius B except with very powerful telescopes and it was not discovered until the 1840's. There is a possibility, however, that the Dogon people of Mali in Africa had knowledge of Sirius B prior to this time. They have incorporated this small companion star into their mythology and rituals. There is, of course, controversy over whether the Dogon actually had prior knowledge of Sirius B before its discovery by western astronomers or whether that knowledge came from cultural contamination with Europeans.

The question here is:

Do you believe Dogon knowledge of Sirius B might actually antedate its discovery by astronomers?

With some of the great pictures that the Hubble telescope has got from the Universe I was wondering why is it so beautiful? There is so much color and contrasts it does make the mind wonder.

t is estimated the polarities of the poles will change once again in the near future. What happens to the magnetic force field during this polarity reversal, and does this affect or diminish the protection which the magnetic force field provides earth agains cosmic and solar wind?

Does it just die on the way up, like it would if you shined it somewhere far away? Does it hit a star up in the sky?

If you find this, please list a source. I've looked at about 50 websites and can't find how fast the winds are there!

All the work that has been done since Einstein in Cosmology is mind-blowing. How can anyone conceptualize the vast amounts of space and time and make sense out of it? I know that many cosmologists, themselves have reacted viscerally to new discoveries and have the same difficulty I have. But what keeps them on track? Is it the mathematical formulas that they develop that can keep them grounded? Or are they stumbling blindly through their work? I find cosmology and quantum physics fascinating, but I often get lost because their ideas and theories are so unfamiliar. What do you think?

If you found a watch in a remote place, and u took the back off and you saw the complex mechanism, you would belive that the watch has been created, then why can we not understand that this world which is much more complex than a watch was created?
