Other - Science - August 2006

Our evolution takes a sequence: mineral - body - mind - consciousness ... at every stage every species lives with a limited evolutionary attainment in differing ratios of each embodied qualities ... and humankind alone has managed to dominate the potential of the mind in the last 35,000 years and only a few have managed to plumb the depths of consciousness in that period but they fall outside the domain of empirical research ... though the concept of QUALIA is inadequate ... atleast it shows the willingness of the scientists (though many are cognitive scientists) to concern themselves with consciousness ... under the context it is high-time ... with all the developments (however embryonic) in the fields of quantum physics, hypergeometry, hyperphysics, femtochemistry, cognitives and complexity sciences etc ... one gave/gives consciousness its due place.

So it looks as if the IAU have finally decided that Pluto should be a Planet. But the criteria they have come up with seem (I've not had time to read them carefully) to imply that a heck of a lot of other objects should now count as planets, including Pluto's erstwhile moon, Charon. Are they right??

Given evolution continues, who might follow Homo Sapien, Thinking Man? How might they differ from us? When the conditions approach for the extinction of Thinking Man, will this new species of man emerge? If so, are not their seeds already among us? What might they call themselves?

Okay, I'm not a conspiracy nut, but come on! Critics have been speculating this for years and now, the footage is missing? How can you misplace the footage of one of the most historical events of mankind? I think that technology now would be able to tell wether the footage was real or not, so they "misplced it". Does anyone else find this odd? The story is below:

I've looked into ballistics armor but they all fail to stop it right away. After reading that gravity pulls you down but eletromagnetic force stops you cold i thought i'd look into this. Magnetics are powerful but the levels to stop a ballistic are very high and unfeasible and not all balllistics would be affected. So i'm looking for some other answers.
