Umm... Where's the science board here? Politics is the least of my worries.

The speed of light, one of the most sacrosanct of the universal physical constants, may have been lower as recently as two billion years ago - and not in some far corner of the universe, but right here on Earth.
The controversial finding is turning up the heat on an already simmering debate, especially since it is based on re-analysis of old data that has long been used to argue for exactly the opposite: the constancy of the speed of light and other constants.
A varying speed of light contradicts Einstein's theory of relativity, and would undermine much of traditional physics. But some physicists believe it would elegantly explain puzzling cosmological phenomena such as the nearly uniform temperature of the universe. It might also support string theories that predict extra spatial dimensions. http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99996092
Sweet-P I'm 18. I'm thinking about going back to school, though. A private school with all girls. Although most private schools are immensely religious... which are not my forte. But I'm curious 🙂
Well I'm just deciding about schools. And my epiphany is that.. I should attend JC at Santa Monica and then transfer to a UC. I'm thinking about becoming a scientists.. cosmology.
In term of biology, humans evolved from animal to homosapiens... However according to the legend, human is still human but having extraordinary power...How come? Just like the legend of horoscopes..... which one is true?
I'm really, really, really not getting along with my father right now. We can't be around each other for more than five minutes without one of us wanting to kill the other (I don't mean that seriously, of course, just figuratively). I'm sorry to say it
Note to self: accumulating a community site is not your forte.
I have to say though... it's mostly our faults that men are the way they are today. Well not really but PARTIALLY YES it is. Men remain cold and distant, why? Because we women favor t
I'm curious what you all think about tattoos. Many, many of my friends, male and female have them. I have to admit, when done well, they're really cool to look at. (When they're bad though, I feel really bad for the person that they have to live with i
Well, the sun is out, its getting warm and now is a good time to get your favorite ride out and clean it up. Anyone out there like to wax and clean their cars or bikes? For many years, it has been a fun hobby for me. I have wasted some serious cash on ca
Grrr...I don't have road rage or anything, but I certainly have moments when I feel like screaming at certain other drivers on the road. First of all - I hate how people with enormous cars bully me on the road because I have a small car. I've noticed th
Do you ever wonder about those people who have made a deep impact on you for a short period of time, never to be heard from again? Life sepperated you and you slowly drifted apart. . . It seems to me that every person that touched me deeply and then left
