Send them out of the gravitational pull first so we can't cop fallout and just enjoy the light show?

The earth's magnetic field strength was measured by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1835 and has been repeatedly measured since then, showing an exponential decay with a half-life of about 1400 years. This could also be stated as a relative decay of about 10% to 15% over the last 150 years. What would be some of the changes say if we went back in time 1400 years. Also look into the future, what will it hold for us in 1400 years?

I think that it resembled earth at one time. But perhaps a shift in the planet's axis, or a giant asteroid, changed all that. It is reported to be cold there. But how cold does it get at the Martian equator? There seems to be too much evidence that it has always been dry! I wonder if human-kind will build cities there (protected by a bubble) as shown on the sci-fi TV series Babylon 5?

As you know that light speed travels at a speed of 318,677 km per second.Lets set this fact aside.. First of all lets talk about video cam,when a person zooms on a spot,the view becomes large and vice versa. Now when you are 400ft from an object with your video cam,you would probably zoom the view to enlarge the size of that object.When you move closer the view becomes blured.But when you move closer and unzoom it at the same time,the object remains the same size with a clear image.Very simple to understand.And vice versa,when you
move away from it ,you have to zoom.

Now its time for my theory..
If you are in a space ship with a super telescope that allows you to see your house from outer space.A computer will regulate the zooming,that means when your on the moon or at mars,the view and size of your house is the same no matter what distance. CAN YOU ANSWER THIS?
When the ship travels at light speed,has the time on the image you see stoped? or not?
And what if when your faster?

My grandkids have doubts about the validity about the Apollo missions, and having told them about the retroreflectors and proving it with a visit to a local planetarium. I got to thinking that if the reflector will reflect a laser beam, Will it relect sunlight? If so, how do you calculate the time of reflection?

Which happened first. Accepting big bang theory it would be easy to say that the cause of gravity is the primordial motion which began with the explosion, But it seems that motion can also be stated as the result of gravity. Please comment., keeping in mind whether it is possible to have gravity in the absence of motion, or whether it is possible for motion to exist without gravity being presesnt.

Many stars in the Orion constelation have crosses, spheres, with spiral patterns in their visual photos. The crosses appear to be lense flares, but are the circular spheres real or part of the lens flare; as viewed with SkyView Virtual Observatory at http://skyview.gsfc.nasa.gov/

The beginning is impossible to comprehend and without a doubt, there's a beginning. Nothing was turned into matter and energy. I'm dizzy, I need a popsicle.

are there any other theories aside from the big bang theory, that has a following of people who believe it and there is evidence to support it. or is the big bang the current one the has all of the evidence. also i don't mean religious theories but scientific ones. i know about the other universe theories, i was just wondering if there are other theories that are widely accepted like the big bang, again non-religious

Ok well I was looking outside on Aug 27 at night and I saw this huge red thing it looked like the MOON (it was 3 am and I was at my computer) and I though I was seeing a lunar eclipse because it looked like something dark was infront of it... well it happened really fast and I later found out from my mom that on that night Mars cam so Close to earth that it was the size of the moon and that same thing won't happen till 2287, was I really lucky to have been able to see it with my own 2 eyes?
