After the big bang, the stars and other bodies are moving away from each other. As they are moving away from each other, gravitational force by each body on others reduce due to the increase in distance. When the pulling force reduces obviously there should be acceleration. Am I wrong?

Is gravity caused by the sheer mass of objects floating through space?

Lansing, MI USA i just got out of college and i noticed two of the parking ramp attendants pointing to this light in the sky. It blinked three times then moved incredibly fast to the northeast blinked once more and was gone. I have never seen anything like that in my entire life. I jokingly said to the parking attendant looked like a UFO and he said yeah i couldnt identify it, but i was sure it couldnt of been a plane. Has anyone had a UFO encounter in your area and describe what happened?

There is a theory that this universe exists with an infinite number of other universes in the "Multiverse" I wonder could this be true.

I've been writting a story for a little while now, and as it's a sci-fi story, there is some space traveling. I have a very specific place in mind, but I want to be sure this place is at least plausible to exist in real life.

The specifications are:
It must be within 12 light years from our Sun.
Should be made mostly of water. (>=90%)
Needs to be in a non-lethal star system. (Not too much radiation, please!)

The other questions I'd like answered would be what would the maximum size of such a planet be, and under what circumstances, besides those I already mentioned, would life likely occur?

Beyond that, I believe I have what I need. Thanks for any help.

it seems as though every shred of evidence of it was taken off the net :P http://www.southparkstuff.com/season_6/episode_612/epi612script/
southpark at least alludes to it ;)

I mean, you think you're coming here to gain some knowledge by asking a question, and all people do is call you names and act out of character on the internet.

Y! Answers needs to be shut down. And on my own accord. I'm cancelling my account.

Someone needs to stage a protest against either people bad mouthing others or Y! Answers intirely.

Peace.

Should'nt we all agree that humans can adapt to changes? Well what if humans first lived upon mars but eventually it fell apart or just died, and humans came to earth to find refuge. God could be the "thing or human" that brought us to earth, and we all thank God for "saving" us. Not only could earth be stronger but it could also be alot easier to live because of the water, and the water would not freeze on earth because it is close to the sun. Cyndonia is probably the last living city before humans left mars. OR there was probably a purge being waged by other life, and the adults sacrificed their children, sent them to eatrh, and "humans" had to learn all of life again. Adam and Eve could have been the adults of the pact, and or Go could have been too. What do you think?

While watching Apollo 13 the movie I got confused as to how the inside of spacecraft would drop temprature in outerspace.

Knowing that even spacesuits face the problem of dissipating heat generated by the wearing astronaught (a vaccume is a perfect insulator), how can one explain that a capsule containing an entire crew would drop below freezing?

Wouldn't the heat radiated away in infared be overcome by direct sunlight on the pod in space?

Do you think is possible that we havent gotten any visits from the future because once we reach a certain point of development humans will kill themselves and that would be the end of humanity?

Would the lack of tides wreak havoc? Any other problems that I'm not anticipating? Just curious if we really need the moon.
