I have a question for someone who understands stuff about spacecraft reentry problems. We all know how this is done with heat shields and high speeds and decelerations etc. We also know about techniques called aerobraking where some satellites use the very thin uppermost atmosphere acting on...

I wish I could have seen that. From a safe distance, of course. Which, come to think of it, is why it would be so cool if Remote Viewing was real. Imagine zipping through the Universe, witnessing all kinds of fantastic things...

This concerns a list-serve of high school advanced placement biology teachers. In one thread, on the topic of Bush's latest evolution statement, there was a reply which contained the statement that the replier is a scientist. (Although s/he teaches AP biology in a high school). Another...

I've been following the evolution v.s. ID case a bit, and every news article I read says that scientists are boycotting the case. For example, on this link: http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/local/11603998.htm it says: "THE BOYCOTT: National and state science groups have refused...

Local scientists have developed an advanced new water desalination system that they believe is the answer to Cape Town's water crisis. Their company has already erected desalination plants across the Middle East, Far East and Caspian Sea areas, and at a few sites in Europe, and they claim they...

How many scientists have paranormal beliefs? About 93% of scientists seem to be athiests and I can imagine the statistics might be similar in regard to paranormal beliefs. Would be interesting to see statistics about the different paranormal beliefs as well, if such has been measured. I'm...

Edge on-line magazine has asked 100 scientists "What do you believe to be true that you cannot prove?". A number of those scientists are well known as skeptics yet have still chosen to answer. Am I wrong in thinking that this is somewhat of a betrayal of scientific principles? The majority...

Headline from the Washington Post I won't quote the entire article due to copyright issues, but the species lived about 18,000 years ago on an island in the Java sea, went extinct about 10,000 years ago. They speculate that they migrated to the island, and then evolved into a dwarf species due...
