Where do babies come from

Name: Dr. Science !/sdw8f7Aa6 2007-08-18 12:28 ID:PJWBFROj

>>2
Babies are grown in the womb after a succesful pregnancy. Pregnancy is caused by a succesfully fertilized ovum (blastocyst) succesfully attaching to the inner membrane (endometrium) during the ovulation and/or luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Ovum are usually fertilized through sexual intercourse. If you want me to be more specific feel free to ask more questions.

Why does gravity work?

Name: Anonymous 2007-08-18 12:49 ID:PJWBFROj

>>4
The baby is formed during pregnancy by a complex process of cell division. The blastocyst begins by forming the initial cells of the 100s of organs, muscles, arteries, major veins and major arteries, these cells then divide as programmed by millions of years of evolution into the embryo which grows into a baby.

>>5
Gravity works as it is an observable property which can be described by mathematics to a degree of accuracy that normal sensory input cannot perceive.

Why should we accept quantum physics, quantum mechanics, and string theory if they happen to fit mathematic concepts but lack empirical evidence?  Doesn't numerology follow that definition?

Uh, quantum physics is so widely accepted precisely because it makes accurate predictions.  It may not have been empirically deduced, but there's plenty of empirical evidence.  As for string theory, they're still working out the math, so devising an empirical test is way down the road.  You can't test a theory's predictions if you're not quite sure what they are yet.

What is the physical radius of the event horizon of a black hole with a Schwarzschild radius (which is a coordinate radius) of R?

Despite the heisenburg uncertainty principle scientists can still make observations about the behaviour of subatomic particles using probability and statistics. If there is a 0.01% chance of a phenomena occurring when 2 particles collide, a scientist can say "it occurs about 0.01% of the time under these conditions" and use the observation to compose a hypothesis in the same way Newton would when he encounterred phenomena that appearred to occur 100% of the time. As long as the scientist takes into account all of the facts, including the fact the phenomena only occurs 0.01% of the time, and follows scientific method his hypothesis will be valid. Quantum physics has already made succesful "predictions", the nuclear fission (atomic physics), microwaves (magnetron) and semi-conductors (research and development depends on quantum physics) would not have been discoverred/invented/developped without the study of quanta.

There is little to suggest that I am RedCream other than the fact that I am using this name. I am using a tripcode, which RedCream does not, and I only use this name in my threads.

>>9
Yes. String theory "explains" a lot of sub atomic phenomena and could possibly be used to calculate unpredictable observable properties such as the probability densities of electrons orbitting a hydrogen atom.

>>10
All non-biblical Adams have navels. The biblical Adam, the first man created by god, then it depends on whether the story is true or not and how god made him.

>>11
Much of our trivia concerning the world is based on trust because it is impossible for a person to check up on everything. An important element of trust is freedom of information, if you feel strongly enough about the legitimacy of something people trust without question you are free to research it yourself.

Use your algebra skills. You need the gravitational field equation and the equation to calculate escape velocity. The radius at which escape velocity is the speed of light is the event horizon.

You are over-reacting. The most productive way to respond to a troll is to play along in a amusing, preferably short manner.

Intelligence is a combination of many factors and perceptions and it is difficult to judge who has more intelligence unless the difference is vast. There is little to suggest one gender is more or less capable of abstract reasonning than the other, though there are many factors which affect what they learn that could lead women to be more intelligent than men in similiar environments. Females undergo puberty earlier and thus are more mature, have had more experience dealing with hormones and can concentrate easier in the ages 13-15 when education becomes more logic based than the memory and skill based literacy and numeracy. If boys are not sufficiently disciplinned this could have an adverse effect on their high school grades and their important decisions as a young adult.

At a guess, you're confusing the basic question with an unexamined variation of turd integrity.  Volumetically, big shits can seem like smaller ones if the turds are soft and can be more extruded and pinched.  Of course, that would tend to lengthen the turd, hence extending the time of extrusion, and possibly countering what I've said by increasing the judgment of the "size of the shit".

It's sensible to expect to find some discussion of Gilgamesh when one speaks of defecation.  After all, religion is shit, hence our expectations are appropriately set.

Defecation is triggerred by a wide range of involuntary and voluntary mechanisms. Most notably pressure on the rectum which is a sensation you experience and pressure on the large intestine as it expands which you do not usually feel.

Soft turds put less pressure on the rectum than harder turds and defecation does not occur when the soft turd is of the same mass of a hard turd when is triggers defecation. Consequently the soft turd is only expelled once there is sufficient faeces to expand the large intestine triggerring more peristalsis. In the case of  a soft turd there is less physical sensation of needing to go to the toilet and it passes through the rectum more smoothly creating less discomfort, whilst at the same time there is more mass to expel.

>>25
This is also a factor.

>>26
The figure the myth is based on is believed to have been a famous king so probably have been ceremoniously buried somewhere in modern Iraq and most likely his remains have been preserved. The character in the epic of Gilgamesh ends his life when Enkidu instructs Gilgamesh to tie rocks to his feet and jump into the sea to find a plant, apparently Gilgamesh walks along the bottom, enters the underworld and stays there. If the myth is loosely based on reality most likely Gilgamesh drowned and his corpse was consumed by marine fauna though some of his bones may have been coverred in silt and preserved. If the Myth is true the Gilgamesh is probably still in the underworld.

>>27
A Bose Einstein condensate is formed by suspending a supercooled alkali using a magnetic field to prevent it absorbing heat from it's surroundings. The alkali is then laser cooled till each atom has the smallest quanta of energy possible. At this point several atoms occupy the same quantum volume which is an unique phenomena and the condensate gives quite orderred results compared to an ordinary chaotic high temperature gas which is significant for quantum physics.

>>28
Gilgamesh is a mythological figure and I believe there is nothing wrong with myths as they were intended to be semi-legitimate. Like today's TV shows which show a slightly butterred up version of real life to help lubricate the flow of the plot.

>>29
The "missing link" between mammals and reptiles still exists in the form of the Platypus who's common ancestor with the rest of mammalkind must have been during a period when mammals laid eggs. Of the many peculiar features of the Platypus the mammory glands are no suprise, they secrete milk through pores not teats, like sweating milk. This suggests that the ability to produce milk evolved from a sweat which played a role in incubating eggs. Presumably once the babies were hatched they would consume this sweat and mothers which produced a more nutritious sweat would have healthier babies and were more likely to pass on their genes etc... These pores evolved to produce milk and after branching off from platypi the rest of mammalkind pulled these milk pores together into teats.

>>30
Salty milk would evolve in a species which requires a lot of salt. /b/tards must usually obtain captain picard by saving pictures of the man from sites across the internet.

Unless you have sustained an illness or injury which affects your penis, it is most likely small due to lower than average testosterone levels during puberty.
We exist because we are thinking beings and thought exists.
Do not confuse truth with perceptions, there is nothing to suggest truth is relativistic, but there are any instances where the truth one person defines rationally will be different from the truth another person defines rationally. When these 2 people engage in rational debate their perceptions tend to converge as they share facts and reasonnings the other was unaware of.
It is a science question as it is strongly related to the philosophy behind scientific method.
The only thing to suggest we will possess the technology to develop individuals into people like the X men is the fact that technological growth is unpredictable. It is extremely unlikely that evolution will generate abilities like the X men in 100 generations since it has not done so after billions of generations of billions of different species.
