Erm…I like prehistoric, possible creatures?
I wish Muse would have a article like NG did on what creatures might have looked like a long time ago. Not like the dinos, but rather like the furry, bizzare creatures that walked the earth right after the ice age, or at the ice age.

in November 20th, 2005 @ 16:07ahhh… finally, a topic Phoenix can relate to!
okay, here goes: has anyone seen “the day after tommorow”? If you have, say so, so I can rant about how it was complete drival, and use big scientific terms!

in November 20th, 2005 @ 18:36I haven’t seen the Day after Tommorow. Isn’t it about an ice age and global warming or something? Ok, who on here is confused or interested in black holes? I am trying to know more about them and they are so confusing and awesome!

in November 20th, 2005 @ 18:45there was a muse artical about them..
And it had an excerpt from a book- a cartoon. About a toaster.
It was in the issue with the bug splats.

in November 20th, 2005 @ 20:30Black Holes are interesting. They are formed by a collapsed red giant star, right? (or is it white dwarf star?). Anyway, today I saw a program in the Science channel about the beginning of life and such. It was about how live bacteria could possibly be exchanged between young planets through astroids. Very interesting. Now, I am beginning to wonder if all of Earth’s organisms evolved from a cingle-celled Maritain bacteria. Now, I am starting to wonder what that thing evolved from, which is technically what we evolved from too. (If the theory is correct). It’s all of that confusing, philosophy stuff that makes me feel reeeeaaaallll insignificant.

in November 20th, 2005 @ 21:11okay. Day After Tomorrow is about how global warming somehow triggers an ice age (never really explains that). So in the space of about a day, THE ENITRE WORLD is covored in ice, even the equator, and these massive storms that look and act precisely like hurricanes materialize, only in the North. Problems: 1) just as many would have formed in the southern hemisphere. 2) the storms had eyes, and the winds moved in a circular position. Impossiblei`. hurricanes act like that because of moisture and pressure, but cold air carries less water! ice storms don’t do that. Also, a giant tsunami hit NYC– the water would have fallen in level, not risen! in addition, it would have taken hundreds of years for the ice age to set in fully, and there would have been no rain or thunderclouds, which they show a lot. plus, they showed all these cataclisimic destruction scenes, which would be impossible, because, once again, COLD AIR WOULD MAKE THINGS CALMER! no tornadoes! no flash floods! no hurricanes! I bet science students in uneversity watch this on days off and sit around laughing! I certainly had a hysterical fit of chuckles when I saw it. Plus, people in a library stay alive by burning books, which would have lasted approximately five minutes or less, and given off massive amounts of smoke (suffocating them in a few seconds), and very little heat. And they drank the water that was flooding the city from the tsunami. two words: salt water.

in November 20th, 2005 @ 21:21wait is that that one movie….help i can’t remember it! oh vell…
hey daniel f. who are you? and sciencegeek27..hello everybody! I’ve gotten rid of my life now (the play’s over) so I can go back to spending every second of my existance on here…
oh it was back to the future. never mind. the movie i mean. in case you lost my odd sense of thought structure. *coughnonexistantcough* anyhoo.
I would rather not have bugs on toast. maybe it’s just me, but they don’t sound all that good to eat.
I like astronomy. That is the only thing i can relate to Urania with. Astronomy rocks! Especially all the old stuff about the stars controlling your life…that stuff’s interesting. I suppose that’s more history though. but whatever.
Oh yah and I like inventions. I don’t like inventing, I just like using the inventions other people give me.
I like to build stuff though! but that’s not really science either…I mean it is, but it isn’t.
Not architecture. just like random stuff out of bark+whatever else happens to be lying on the ground. Like my uncle does sort of. he’s a sculpter with random naturey type stuff like that. ok time to ramble somewhere else now…

in November 23rd, 2005 @ 20:35I have a theory for controlled teleportation. Here goes:
Fact: it has been scientifically proven that molecules do erratically become Quantum at random intervals. Scientists are not sure what triggures this change as of yet.
Fact: Therefore, it is possible for a the molecular stucture of an object, animate or inanimate, to be in two molecular environments at once.
Fact: the erraticacy of Quantum particles is such that they cannot be controlled. However, the future molecular location of the particles can be predicted.
Therefore: given the correct conditons, all the particles of a large body may turn Quantum.
Therefore: If the conditions at which molecules become Quantum are predicted, it will be possible for a human or object to be in two places at once.
Fact: Quantum particles may not be kept in this state after being definitively observed, i.e. by a human or by a machine.
Conclusion: using these factors, once the conditions of Quantum are discovered, teleportation may be achived under rare, but nontheless potent conditions.cool, huh?

Kind of makes you think, doesn’t it?

in November 25th, 2005 @ 18:51It’s too bad that geology isn’t taught better at the secondary level. I loved finding out how old different rocks are, how many different kinds of plants and animals you can find inside them, and how they crumpled or crunched like car fenders when continents slammed together hundreds of millions of years ago. But I knew more chemistry and earth history by the time I got around to studying rocks, and that helped me appreciate them.

in November 26th, 2005 @ 21:52It’s amazing, though, that all those different types of energy, which look unrelated, turn out to be the same thing, and that physicists can measure them and see how energy is conserved and where it’s lost. It’s also amazing how much energy is stored invisibly in the chemical bonds of something like gasoline or dynamite. It’s not easy, but try to keep the Big Picture in sight amid all the number crunching and problem solving.
Also interesting (to me) is that the word “energy” didn’t exist until a scientist coined it in 1807. (Neither Shakespeare nor Isaac Newton ever heard of it.) For that matter, the word “scientist” didn’t exist until 1833, and it took another couple of decades to catch on. Jane Austen’s characters would have said “natural philosopher.”

Once when I was teaching science writing at New York University (any Manhattanites here? no?), one of my students was stuck for an assignment topic. I told her to research and write about the dust that collects under beds. Now, that’s hard-core.

in November 27th, 2005 @ 17:23By the way, why do people blush? I mean, I know that it’s because of the blood vessels in the cheeks open up etc etc that’s not exactly but something like it, but why would they blush in the first place? I mean, is there some evolutionary advantage for other animals to know when you’re embarrassed?

Actually, I don’t really hate it, at least not when someone explains it to me, then it’s interesting. I’m just more of a “free spirit”, and I would do better with something that let me express myself more.
Let me just state for the record, that anyone who can get excited about dust under beds deserves an award. That, or they deserve to be put in an asylum. It’s one or the other.

in November 27th, 2005 @ 18:50Lizzie’s question really is what, if anything, blushing might be good for. Beats me. Maybe we can figure it out, or at least come up with a good working hypothesis. Blushing must be a reflex, because it happens quickly and is involuntary. Maybe it’s a signal of some sort? Three questions:
– Under what circumstances do people (other than Phoenix) usually blush?
– Do people blush when they’re alone?
– When you see someone blush, how does it affect you?

in November 27th, 2005 @ 19:01I blush when I’m embarrassed, or someone compliments me.
I do, sometimes, if I think about an embarrassing situation I was in.
When I see someone blush, I immediately know that whatever the person said to them either embarrassed them or pleased them. Unless they blush based on a circumstance, in which case I know that what just happened embarrassed them.

in November 27th, 2005 @ 19:12Me, too. I blush when I’ve made a mistake, or when somebody finds fault with me. Now, put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Suppose you see somebody screw up, or you’re finding fault with someone, and the person blushes. How do you react? (You may already be way ahead of me here.)

in November 27th, 2005 @ 19:44if i see somebody screw up i usually just ignore it.
compliments don’t make me blush but they bug me. some compliments anyway. y’know like i’ll be singing something crazy like the llama song and somebody’ll say “oh you have such a nice voice” and i’ll just sit there thinking “well thank you but i have a feeling you just completely missed the point” the point being, of course, that insanity and llamas are all that’s needed to make a person happy. Or compliments i don’t deserve, like “you’re so organized” organized? me? i shudder at the thought. no. and then there’s the compliments like when i write something good “you’re a good writer!” and i’m like “oh great now i’ve gotta live up to that” of course half the time i don’t and they get disappointed that my good stuff is only in occaisional flashes and way inconsistent.
I don’t usually blush. blushing+me=say what? I get embarrassed sure but blush no. I don’t have bad circulation either. hmm…a mystery…
I like the science of depression. it’s very useful. learn all about it and then you can act depressed whenever you’re bored and have some excitement in your life. not that i can ever stretch depression out long. i totally forget that i’m supposed to be depressed. unless i actually am depressed. which is hardly ever. but whatever.

in November 27th, 2005 @ 20:00Hm, I keep forgetting that Musers are a different species.
OK, better cut to the chase. After thinking about when people blush and how I react when they do, I guess (mind you, it’s just a guess) that blushing might be a signal that defuses hostility. If somebody messes up and then immediately blushes, you’re more likely to feel sorry for that person and less likely to attack him or her. It’s sort of like what dogs do when they roll over to expose their bellies–a way of saying “I’m helpless and acknowledge your dominance; please don’t hurt me.”
In Asian countries, I hear, people do the same thing by smiling. Westerners often misinterpret the gesture to mean that people think it’s funny when things go wrong, when actually they’re embarrassed and nervous. Maybe some of our Asian MuseBloggers can say whether that’s true.
Does the theory work for compliments? I suppose so, if you’re likely to be attacked after being singled out for praise. “There, see, she’s blushing. She doesn’t think she’s better than we are. She’s still OK. We’ll go on being her friends.”
Anyway, that’s the first chain of reasoning that went through my head. I have no idea whether it’s true or not, but it sounds plausible, and it could be tested. Maybe somebody else has another, equally good theory.

in November 27th, 2005 @ 20:12I was about to say something like that. I was going to say that when I see someone blush, I immediately feel like I have stop doing whatever I’m doing that might be embarrassing them and/or sheild them from whoever else might be embarrassing them, and/or comfort them and/or change the subject. I think that ties in with your theory, Robert.

in November 27th, 2005 @ 20:16It would also explain why we blush with our faces, which are easy to see, and not with our knees, shoulders, toes, or elbows. (Once or twice I’ve been so embarrassed that I felt I was blushing all over, but I suspect that was an exaggeration.)

in November 29th, 2005 @ 12:33Here’s a nice little science trick. It uses surface tension, and it will keep you all amused for – oh, three minutes at least.
Cut a rough boat shape, about 80mm long, from a bit of cardboard. Cornflakes packet will do. OK then, 3 inches. Now cut a very thin channel (two scissor cuts as close together as you can get them), running from the back of the boat to the centre. At the centre, cut out a small circle, about a quarter of an inch diameter (see, I’m being considerate and using Imperial now).
Place your boat on water. Put a couple of inches in the bath, or a bowl, or use a puddle in the backyard, because I know you all have backyards. Captain Pelluw told me.
Now put a drop of detergent in the circular reservoir. It feeds out through the channel, destroys the surface tension at the rear of the boat, and the boat whizzes forwards. Great fun!

in November 29th, 2005 @ 14:21I did something like that once. I had a little piece of cardboard that I cut to have a point on one end, and then I cut a little notch in the back, and then I stuck soap in the notch. It went all over the bathtub. It was kind of cool.
How does Captain Pelluw know we all have back-yards? Is he spying on us or something? How does he know where I live? Did he tell you that my back-yard is just a sharp slope leading to a bayou, and the most adventureous of puddles couldn’t hang on back there? If he didn’t, he left out a big piece of information.

oh yeah and we’re starting moles. fun stuff. a mole is…602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. i think. anyhoo, it’s the number of atoms in a gram of hydrogen or something. so we have that and then we have to figure out the # of atoms for other stuff, like oxygen or chlorine or whatever else.

in November 30th, 2005 @ 19:10*Ahem* Longish and potentially boring speech emerging*
This might belong more in the Hot Topics, but what the heck. One thing I’d really like to see -in ANY science magazine, not just Muse in particular- is something christian that isn’t all oh-no-no-no-youre-totally-completely-wrong to scientists, and vice-versa. it seems to me that most members of each party assume that you actualy have to be in one or the other or you’re a nasty loathesome traitor. Ha Ha Ha. Excuse me while I die laughing. Why, may I ask, can something be a scientific mystery and not be created by hand by God at the same time? Is this logic speaking, or simply somebody’s ego? I am not bashing anyone here, I just want to let confused people know that yes, you can read a normal science book and still believe in creation. I’d go on, but I don’t want to sound like I’m preaching, which I most certainly am not. I like scientific paradoxes and weird stuff and I Love black holes, even more because they haven’t yet been explained into oblivion.

in December 1st, 2005 @ 18:35space is cool. I like moons better though. i have no clue why, i just do.
hey hey guess who totally got an a on her science test? oooooohh that’s me! woohoo!!
got science hw to do today too. more mole stuff. joy. better then…
well just about all my other hw. better than math, definitely better then trying to write a paper for english with a topic that i know nothing about having just moved to bexley (oh joy, google time) and feeling the guilt of not having started the project where i have to talk for 20 bleepin minutes, better then history. actually history is really cool but the class is not. too much boring note taking.
so yeah science is at the top today. all hail the science.

in December 1st, 2005 @ 22:38I am doing okay in science. Once again, it is not one of my favorites. Today I had a quiz on the first 10 elements on the periodic table… which I didn’t really study for.
My favorites are Spanish, band, and values. Values is english, social studies and religion squished into two class periods. Mr. B is a hilarious person, who is my English teacher. Mr. M is also extremely funny, and he is my spanish teacher.
I just love playing in band.
y=mx+b
Scientific notation is fun though. Right know, we’re doing atomness type things.

in December 6th, 2005 @ 15:58Ugh! School! I waste-sorry, spend-so much of my time and energy on school that I don’t want to talk about it in my leisure hours! The point of leisure hours is to forget about school. Or work, as the case may be. It’s just not froody. Or digestible.

in December 7th, 2005 @ 22:10the africanweeeee……………. since i’m doing my science fair project on hedgehogs, i will bore you to death w/ pointless info.
the african pygmy or four toed hedgehog is the most common type of hedgehog kept in captivity, and is one of the least common wild hedgehog. the hedgehog was only brought into captivity a couple decades ago. the hedgehog is a commonly used ‘pesticide’ in england. the four toed hedgehog is the only hedgehog w/ only four toes on the front feet. weeeee……..

in December 11th, 2005 @ 08:40quantuming is teleportation. i said hyperspatial travel. in quantum you exist in two places at once, in hyperspatial travel you go to an “other” place and return to this world in a different location on the space/time continuum, but you are only in one place at a time.

in December 12th, 2005 @ 19:36Hey! I used to have a pet hedgehog! They are not boring. As a matter of fact, they… umm…. well….., there cute, right?
Thats all that counts.
My Science class is soooo boring. My school is a vast wasteland, devoid of science. Some people in my class do know how to pronounce the word “species”. My science teacher treats us like we are first-graders, and spent the whole period exlaiming how to use a glossary. At least I get to sit next to my friends. To enrich my science, I read physics textbooks. Yay! I am so nerdy. Yay for quantum physics and such. Ah well. I will stop annoying others with boring boringness.(for the moment, muahahahahah! I’ll be back)
