Taking account the speed of the rotation of the Earth, in addition to the speed the Earth orbits the Sun, in addition to the speed of the Sun as it orbits around the galaxy, exactly how fast am I going while I'm sitting here typing this question?

Bonus point: how many miles did you travel answering this question?

Are there any lifefroms out in space

A website I recently visited described the Cassini Probe flight as requiring two loops around Venus and one around the Earth prior to its flight to Saturn because no launcher was powerful enough to send the probe on a direct route to Saturn. Does this mean that the loops reduced the required flight time, or does it mean that we are unable to launch a probe that can fly direct to Saturn? What was or is the limiting factor? I was under the impression that once the probe was on its way through space there was nothing to stop its progress on such a mission.

depending on where it hit, what would happen to our vast stores of information? I mean, depending on what got burnt up and who got killed, we might lose some of the most valuable pieces of information in the world. If the comet hit the US, we'd lose the Declaration of Independence. If it hit Egypt, say "bye bye" to the pyramids. If it hit Japan, sayonara Microsoft. (Well, Microsoft Japan. Although the Microsoft in America would probably be wiped out by the tsunami from Japan.) We might also lose valuable information about science and technology. That's a scary thought! Is there nothing we can do? I thought so at first. But then I got to thinking, "What if we stored vast amounts of extremely important information on 500 gigabyte hard drives?" I know about the EMP blast from the comet, so of course they would all be surrounded by Faraday cages, and buried underground so they wouldn't be torched by the heat. So what do you think? Should we start collecting information? Thanks.

im not a beliver in aliens but last night september 2 i was camping and i was looking up at the stars and saw 3 lights traveling really low and at the same speed . They were in the shape of a triangle. I thought they were stars at first but when i looked into the middle of them, it was all black. Then I realized it wasn't stars but lights from something. I was really big. It made the same sound as a plane but deeper. I thought I was seeing things but other people around me also saw it. I looked up ufos on the internet and saw pictures o-f what i saw last night. Im really scared and want to find out what that really was. Did anyone eles see it?
I was camping in monaguap pond, New York. I just want to try to find out what it was.

Is there a fourth dimension? If so, is the fourth dimension the spirit world as taught in the Bible?

I saw a program on the Histroy channel that revealed how many galaxies there are in space...countless. The program went on to say that big galaxies swallow up small galaxies.
There are also many black holes in space, right?

I say the main reason why our vulnerable planet Earth has not been swallowed up by a black hole or a bigger galaxy is basically because God is in control even though we may not want to accept this truth. God has other plans for this Earth as recorded in the book of Revelation.

I guess the statement "He's got the whole world in His hands" is not silly afterall, right?

Your view?

At terminal velocity? What do you think would happen? And what about Moya, from Farscape? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moya_%28Farscape%29 Do you think such an animal can actually desing itself to support people? My friend says That you can burn fat to make chambers and such, and even sacrifice some muscle in the process, but what about Starburst? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starburst_%28Farscape%29 And what about food?

regarding the origin of earth and what is presently happening in the universe. They have shown spectacular videos of the formation of various stars, and galaxies and other heavenly bodies however, were these real? No one seemed to discount what these people were saying. Or were all these simply theoretical.

since the centrafugal force at the equator must counteract the gravity to certain amount? or shouldn't it ??

2007-09-03 10:01:11 · 12 answers · asked by rastgoo_2 2

A Star is formed when gases our pulled together by gravity. As the gases get more and more condensed they start to heat up. Gravity is still during this process continually making it more and more dense, thus the mass of gas becomes hotter and hotter until it finally gets hot enough to produce nuclear fusion. At this point the nuclear fusion helps counteract the natural force of gravity by burning up it's helium that is produced by the process, thus causing the star to shine and also and more importantly pushing against the force of gravity not letting it further condense it any smaller. If not for the stars nuclear fusion and it burning up it's helium in the battle against gravity it would collapse and gravity would win. In which case once it uses up all it's helium, gravity will win taking it to the next phase of it's life.

My question is this, if gravity is a universal law affecting all mass the same, then why aren't planets..........ran out of characters one sec

Mate of me was trying to convince me that black holes in space fart and produce matter elsewhere in the Universe or the Multiverse and that is how the Big bang happened. If this is true I was wondering how it equates to the string theorists current idea that the Big Bang was created by the collision of two 11th dimensional membranes.

Sounds kinda stupid, I know. But whenever I watch documentaries about the universe, astrophysics, etc., I feel emotionally moved in a way that I can only compare to a religious experience. I mean, when one just TRIES to contemplate the vastness of the universe and our relatively infinitismal place in it, I am awed.
I don't mean to be condescending, but it makes me feel kinda sorry for the religiously devout whose perception of reality is, I would respectfully submit, terribly limited.
