How do you tell something that is a "technology" or manufactured from something that is natural. We are moving down the path of genetic engineering at a rapid pace, 1000 years from now we will have "engineered" organisms that will contitute a designed technology. If someone found examples of this technology millions of years after we are gone, how could they distinguish it from natural lifeforms?

Scientists said there is no reality, it just light tricking us by acting both as wave and particles
And The fact that we never directly experience the world around us that All we ever know are the contents of consciousness, the thoughts, feelings, perceptions and sensations that appear in the mind.
So what would happen to reality if we don’t have our sense of vision , smell, thouch ,sound and taste? What would happen to it if there is no one perceiving it?
Please take me serious this time.

I'm doing some research for a book, and I'm wondering what countries and areas would be in daylight perpetually, and inversely stuck in night, as in if there's a certain line on the axis and through which areas. Also, I know the effects of such an occurrence from another answer on here, but do you think it's possible for people to still survive, as in could they physically survive, and could they still eat and drink in any way possible...and if so, what would happen when the two sides flip after a period (a year I'm told), and would this flip be drastic or slow? Thanks ahead of time people.

I just got my first telescope its a Meade with a 2.8 inch aperature. It came with the following lens': 25mm, a 9mm, and a 2x Barlow.

I know the barlow lens doubles the smaller lens' magnifying power. I would like to know which lens can see the furthest. I have been using the 25 and the barlow together and don't know how far I can zoom in to see say Saturn. I don't know how well I will be able to see this planet. Will it be fuzzy or with my scope will it only be a shining mass in the mirror. Oh my telescope is a refractor. I just want to see the rings of Saturn, if the focuser is all the way out will it be clearer or not?

I was wondering how cold it is going to get in the South over the next few days. I live in southern Mississippi and was wondering if there is maybe a chance I can expect some wintry precip.

If you know, comparisons would help instead of measurements (ex: the size of two football fields)

I think looking at how gigantic the earth is and looking around into space and knowing it's neverending, dark, and cold - that would scare me. Other than that I think it would be beautiful.

Are we looking at planets capable of supporting life in their earliest stages? Even if they won't evolve on their own if we put plants on there and leave it will a whole new lifeform(s) develop on there? The reason for my question is in this extract from BBC Bitesize revision:

The early atmosphere was probably mostly carbon dioxide, with little or no oxygen. There were smaller proportions of water vapour, ammonia and methane. As the Earth cooled down, most of the water vapour condensed and formed the oceans.

It is thought that the atmospheres of Mars and Venus today, which contain mostly carbon dioxide, are similar to the early atmosphere of the Earth.

Changes in the atmosphere:
So how did the proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere go down, and the proportion of oxygen go up?

• The proportion of oxygen went up because of photosynthesis by plants.

Is it possible to go back to the past? I heard traveling to the future is easier(theorically)to explain, it is just a matter of speed. But towards the past is a chaos to explain.
