This is something that is spoken in myths, fables and astrology.

However, in reality, do you think man can do it one day? If humans can do it, how do you think they will do it?

Maybe they're made of other stuff than just gas, solid and liquid. Maybe they're not organic at all but still living in a sense we don't know yet. I'm guessing we -as in mankind- are not even aware to what "Life" means to a full extend. So maybe do you think other pyshical conditions are possible in this universe, or maybe in another one?

I see this in the sky all the time.

According to the way the moon is lit up, surely the sun should be 'above' the moon in the sky from the point of view of the camera?

How can the lit-up part of the moon 'face' away from the sun in the sky sometimes?

What if, due to some electromagnetic interference, the earth's rotation decreased? It is obvious that there would be more hours in the day, but I always assumed that there is a certain amount of centrifugal force that affects gravity. It the earth's rotation decreased, then there would be less centrifugal force, which means gravity would increase, right? How weird would that be? How would we adapt to the increased weight? Would the affect be so dramatic that it could kill any of us?

The theorists say this is what wiped out the dinosaurs. We've seen it popularized in movies and it looks truly terrifying. I know we have some kind of global vigil going on to track large space objects as they might impact Earth. But are we really geared up enough to catch this in the skies before we get hit? Would we be able to divert a direct hit with our current capabilities in outer space? Would it take an atomic bomb to dessentigrate or vaporize one of these large asteroids or meteorites on it's way to Planet Earth? If we are not adequately prepared now, what do we need to do to safeguard the future of our planet from a disaster of this magnitude?

The Big Bang will expand for ever (the Big Chill). Infinity is by definition something that can't be measured. How can it have a start in the Big Bang?
The closest thing to infinity and eternity we can imagine is a two-dimensional being on a volumetric surface such as a sphere. It can move for ever without reaching an end. But it doesn't have a start either, right?

I thought every year divisible by 4 had a 02/29.

Multibillions of dollars are being spent to do space missions. Missions like Mars are finding some alternative place to live on, but before we find suitable enviornment outside earth, our own enviornment would extinct and we won't be here. So why not use those billions of dollars to fix our enviornment (finding alternatives for petroleum etc.)?

This is my position paper. I really need your opinions on the topic!!
Thanks!

I'm told that the sun with a mass of 1 and a luminosity of 1 is expected to live 10 billion years......

Then what is a star with a mass of 50 and a luminosity of 40,000 supposed to live?

The expected answer is approximately 1million years but the best i've come up with is 12.5million

anyone have any insight?
