I don't get it, why a "teacher". Couldn't you just as well send a garbage man, or a waiter, or a prison warden?

How can we explain the intriguing phenomenon of time travel in a lay man's language? What are the theories regarding the possible means of travelling through time ? What is the basic concept and working mechanism of "time machines" ?

Astronomers in the UK are claiming life is much more unlikely ... a trillion trillion times... less likely to evolve on earth than on a 'slushy comet', so claims astophsisists from the UK in an upcoming article

is this theory a bit reaching? perhaps grasping at a shooting straw by faith? or entirely reasonable? and does it make creation by God on earth more credible or less. It is perhaps more revealing about the poverty of the speculations related to life oriigns apart from a creator and the ability of man to leap by faith in ways to avoid GOd or an example of scientific ingenuity at its best?

Why is it that light cannot escape from black holes? Is light made of matter? Does gravity affect light?

Insha'Allah I'll catch it.

Two moons on 27th August 2007*
*27th August; the day the Whole World is waiting for Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August.
It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will
cultivateon Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65 Million miles of earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30am. It will look like the earth has 2 moons. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.

if the expansion of the universe stops. could its contraction lead to an "infinite" amount of energy being condensed in an infinitely confined space leading to another big bang.

if the the universe follows a cycle of expansion and contractions then should one argue that before the big bang there was not time or space ?

I recently read a book, titled, "Jupiter, The Star That Failed" by
Joel N. Shurkin. In the book, I believe the author stated that Jupiter would need about 100 times its current mass to have enough gravity to create the internal pressure which would cause the temperature to rise to the 20 million degrees necessary for fusion to begin. And thus shine like a star. The cube root of 100 times its current diameter is 4.64*88,865 = 412,000 miles. This is very rough I know but my question are:

1. Can Jupiter continue to accumulate hydrogen over a few million years and eventually reach this point??

2. Can the process described above be considered the way stars do come to be?? In other words can Jupiter be considered to be a "pre-star"?

3. Why aren't all stars the same size? Seems they would all hit the mass requirement for fusion & be the same size?

4. Can stars grow after fusion begins?

or this 5. Good beginners book on star formation?

These are a few of our Universes amasing things.
Dark energy is said to out weigh all the universes solids by 1000%
Dark matter (they know not what it is) is beleived to be what is causing our Universe to expand at the rate of 66.6% the speed of light in all directions. (and increasing)
Known solids are less than 4% of the mass in our Universe.
We can only see the trillion (M/L) galaxies, but 10 to 100 times this amount of Galaxies are dark and can not be seen by us.
that would make 10 to 100 trillion galaxies.
Why I ask the question is, I am waiting for the day when our knawledge of space is expanded to be able to see beyound our universe as we know it.
If one took (as an example) 25 trillion Galaxies and the average Galaxie had two hundred Billion stars such as our sun,
how many worlds similar to ours might there be?
Why would there be only empty space beyound our Universe?
