			<description>There are so many fascinating animals that many of us know so little about or haven't even heard of. 

I thought it might be interesting to have a thread dedicated to 



Strange and Unusual Animals of Land, Sea, and Air.  



Post your photos, stories, vids here.

			<description>Atlas 5 rocket launches NASA moon mission





An Atlas 5 rocket thundered to life and streaked into space Thursday, hurling two NASA spacecraft toward the moon for a &#36;583 million mission to scout out landing sites for future manned missions and to search for evidence of hidden ice near its frigid poles.



One spacecraft will map the cratered surface from a perilously low 31-mile-high orbit while the other will blast out 350 tons of pulverized rock and soil for chemical analysis, digging  ...</description>

&quot;ok lets say my live-wells hold 30 gallons of water. and lets say that water weighs 8lbs a gallon (just for a round figure). that means with my live-wells full i have an extra 240 lbs in the boat. but lets say i add 20lbs of fish to the live-well, at first it would seem that i am now carrying 260 lbs. but does the weight of the fish  ...</description>

			<description>Dust Plays Role in Atlantic Warming





March 27, 2009 -- A decrease in airborne dust and 1. volcanic emissions has contributed to warming the North Atlantic Ocean in the past three decades, a study showed.

About 70 percent of the Atlantic's warming since 1980, at an average per-decade rate of a half-degree Fahrenheit (a quarter-degree Celsius), was due to less dust blown from African dust storms or to volcanic eruptions, scientists wrote in the journal Science.

			<description>Tetonic Plates



Where the different plates meet, they typically interact in one of four ways: 



If the two plates are moving away from each other, an ocean ridge or continental ridge forms, depending on whether the plates meet under the ocean or on land. As the two plates separate, the mantle rock from the asthenosphere layer below flows up into the void between the plates. Because the pressure is not as great at this level, the mantle rock will melt, forming magma. As the magma flows  ...</description>

			<description>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_multiple_intelligences



This is worth reading up on.



The general idea is that while all other concepts move with the times, the IQ test essentially has not, and that there is suggestion of it being a redundant method of measuring intelligence, within an individual.



A more modern idea is that of 'multiple intelligence'....







The theory of multiple intelligences was proposed by Howard Gardner in 1983, to more accurately define the concept  ...</description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ok, it's come up in a couple of threads before, so I figured I'd post a thread about why we can't travel faster than the speed of light. I'll do this like I did the quantum mechanics one back on scam.com, so it will take place in a couple of posts over an as yet unspecified amount of time.

Slime (and Behavior)





Hagfish are long and vermiform, and can exude copious quantities of a slime or mucus (from which the typical species Myxine glutinosa was named) of unusual composition. When captured and held e.g. by the tail, they secrete the microfibrous slime,  ...</description>

			<description>Number of alien worlds quantified  

 

We are likely to be listening for a long time, even if there are many worlds 

Intelligent civilisations are out there and there could be thousands of them, according to an Edinburgh scientist. 



The discovery of more than 330 planets outside our solar system in recent years has helped refine the number of life forms that are likely to exist. 



The current research estimates that there are at least 361 intelligent civilisations in our Galaxy  ...</description>

			<description>OK, I was watching Fox and Friends, (God forgive me for I have sinned.   )



They were talking about the Hadron Collider (Big atom smasher), the guest was Michio Kaku. Anyway they were saying that while the idea there would be a giant black hole that would swallow us was highly unlikely, they had done some recalculations and that there would likely be tiny black holes created, but Michio Kaku said the black holes would only have the equivalent power of a fruit fly and they would pass through  ...</description>

			<description>I don't know much about sunspots. I hear all kind of things relating to them. I hear the lack of sun spots could lead to a CME. I hear all kind of things related to sunspots, and how the lack of them could spell trouble for planet earth. What I don't see is data to back up this claim. I mean how much data do we really have about the sun? Even 100 or 200 years of data. What does that prove about a star that has been there for million upon millions of years?

			<description>Kazza has graciously accepted L's invitation to be a Science 101 and Beyond Mod and we thank him for that.



Once he gets settled, maybe K will play with the set-up of the science forum; you know organize it in a way that makes sense to him  ...........and will make it easier for the user to follow.



If you have anything special you'd like to see in Science 101 and Beyond, suggest away!

			<description>One of the so called great unsolved mysteries is what led to the extinction of an entire species, such as the Dinosaurs.



It would surely have to take something quite incredible to wipe out not just one or two, but an entire speices, of all shapes, sizes, etc.



Of course, as with every unknown, there has been scientific explaination.



These differ and tend to amount to conjecture.



There is a suggestion of some climatic shift.



There is an idea that they literally over ate,  ...</description>

Yes, the Kman is here!    



Our very own Scientist Extraordinaire has joined Scampolitics.  To have a member of Kazza's caliber is, for me, both an honor and a pleasure as, I'm sure, most who know Kazza will agree.



With that said, here's a cool hangout for Guru Kman and all those who love Science (and who doesn't?!) and know a lot about it, and for those who love science and want to know more about it.  



In other words, this is the place for Experts and  ...</description>
