It stands to reason that to find inherent processing differences between generic male and female cognitive brains you'd have to deal with sexualized subject matters.
Of both men and women, not everyone thinks about everything with their genitals. As it also stands to reason then, those which firmly believe in perceptual and cognitive differences between generic male and female psychology, necessarily think with their genitals themselves, about everything all the time. Kind of like morons. *rollseyes* |

Okay well here's the thing about quantum entanglement. It only works if you observe the simultaneous particle (cat in a box anyone?), but essentially its function is to provide the basis of string theory.

As Invictus has pointed out, there is plenty of water at the poles. You are correct about the Solar Wind removing the atmosphere but incorrect about the time it takes to remove it. Terraforming Mars has been studied by many and the trick is to heat the planet with Global Warming by releasing the CO2 gas and maybe some others, then seeding the planet with algae to convert the CO2 to oxygen. http://science1.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2001/ast09feb_1/ More science-journalism. Listen, these are published thought-experiments for postgrad interns at NASA. In this particular case the students are working on the premise "but what if Mars had a magnetosphere". That is not the case. The magnetic fields are minor and sporadic on Mars, the core is dead. There are no tidal forces to have kept it dynamic. Mars has no magnetosphere at all, the fields that would produce one are merely seasonal stormfronts on the planet's surface. And the only way a storm can function on Mars is because it's functioning through a transient, sporadic magnetic field moving around the surface for a bit before disappearing, and taking the storm's huff with it. Mars cannot hold an atmosphere. It cannot hold greenhouse gases. (edited to note, not in the volume required, not in the breadth of molecules required). Perhaps a university (.edu) site might be better than NASA journals. Yes the science is good, but the premise isn't necessarily anything but fancy. |

Feller, eventually you're gonna wind up a religious fundie wackado needing to feel loved. That's like expressing affection with cruelty.
My day is complete when I achieve a restful intellectual state. Odd thing, sometimes my day starts complete. So what I do is projects. And that's actually really cool because I go to work and it's just a project, like a paid hobby, because I woke up and my work was already complete. Spent all those years chasing my tail like you kids completing it already. No need to do it twice. |

Well in terms of math the big thing Einstein did was challenge Newton, which nobody else vocally did (but did experiments that showed discrepencies), and Newton's perception of time was based in ages old Euclidean math, which is understandable because in Mediaeval Europe on of the crimes of heresy was to "contradict scientific reason" and the Church had established "scientific reason" to be defined by Euclidean ideas in Greek scholarship way back in the time of Constantine. It was a big thing at the time, very scary. As recently as 1890 the British were still sentencing people for vampirism, anger religious fanatics at your peril back then.
Anyhoo, Newton's Euclidean premise in his math is that time is a universal constant. Einstein looked at the work of his contemporaries and noted that it actually appears that time is relative and there must be some other universal constant. You need a universal constant for math to work, to make equations with hypotheses, even if you have to make one up. The speed of light is in fact relative. It changes by medium but here's the problem: everything is a medium. The speed of light changes a little between interplanetary, interstellar and intergalactic space, that's been measured. Small, but a difference. What you don't get is an isotropic variation so it's really light that has no substance, it's a dynamic field you're trying to measure for rate of change in a medium. Time however, now with no longer the status of universal constant most definitely has a substance. It is an expression of "now". In order to have three dimensions and a physical object, you require a fourth, the moment in which it exists. Time is a part of the other three dimensions, it is a spatial field of relative variance. Not entirely unlike light, but light has much less variance. |

Carbondioxide?
Yep,the seasonal ones,the permanent ones at the Poles are composes of frozen H2O. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/events/lectures_archive.php?month=12&year=2010 Quite right. The bulk of it however is dry ice. The caps seasonally shrink, when there's not much there it is believed the remnant reveals ice that is water ice. For all intents and purposes however, when you look at Mars and you see ice at the caps, it's dry ice. The Moon has water ice at the poles too. In the rock. It's not that unusual but accessibility is key. So far Mars (manned) mission planning has gone so far as suggestions of mining its moons (captured asteroids) or even hijacking a cometary body en-route. That'd be because water is pretty inaccessible on Mars, the little of it there is, largely buried under dry ice and half it within rock like on other bodies with little/no atmosphere. Exposed water ice tends to boil away then the gases get blown off the surface of the world. Most light gases do. To keep water ice on Mars you kind of need it buried under dry ice. |

Hate isn't malevolence. This sounds like just plain malevolence. I doubt the girl who lit the other knew the first thing about antisemitism. That would make it far more like thinking it a good idea to steal daddy's gun and go rob a liquor store. Yes you have to prosecute it, yes it is a serious crime, but you wouldn't call the teenager that did it a member of organized crime now would you?
A legal system that has any connection to justice whatsoever must tell the truth. |

The Mars polar caps are dry ice, not water ice.
The problem with Mars is that it cannot hold onto an atmosphere. It produces one all the time, chemical reactions on the surface constantly produce gases that would normally be retained in an atmosphere. But the core of the planet is dead. It has only minor, sporadic magnetic fields, it doesn't have a magnetosphere like Earth. A magnetosphere is created by a dynamic core and surrounds the planet, forming a barrier against deadly solar and cosmic radiations. In particular it bends the solar wind around the planet. The solar wind is so charged with subatomic excitation that it literally blows other molecules and particles like a wind, hence the term, 'solar wind.' What it does at Mars is it literally blows the gases off the planet's surface and off into space, this has been detected and photographed by the Mars orbiters. The surface of Mars constantly produces atmospheric gases just like Earth, but they're being constantly blown off the planet by the solar wind, because the core is dead and there is no powerful magnetosphere to bend the solar wind away from the atmosphere. |

many skilled, able, intelligent knowledgable people get stuck struggling with an income,, instead of truly acquiring 'wealth' And things like this are my point. Charging individuls with lack of success for any rationale is ignorant to the point of malevolent. Terrific workers are often underpaid and unable to do a whole lot about it at the time. That's because employers must be regulated by law or else they do what any primate with power does: abuses it. Blaming their victims is kind of on that same road as telling rape victims they asked for it by what they were wearing. Ignorant to the point of malevolence. ie. if someone you know is being underpaid, underrated and underclassed well below their obvious employment value (ie. the quality of work they clearly perform consistently by virtue of character and descript application), then perhaps that employer should be held to account, if you consider this person highly/more intelligent and knowledgable, then it should stand to reason their state is one they aren't in a position to do much about because surely they've had your epiphany about "simply not putting up with it" and found that course wanting, ie. not presently do-able or they would've fixed it, being apparently so easy to do you can hold them to account for failing to. |

Sounds like a complete load of ignorant crap to me.
1. there is nothing, nothing, absolutely not a single thing that one person can do that another can't any time they just plain feel like it. Believing you have "skills" that others don't have is about arrogance and egotism, not pragmatism nor humility. What you may have is more usable skills, which lasts exactly until someone else, anybody at all feels like developing the same or similar skills. Selling yourself to an employer who always had more money than hands on experience is one thing, that is about telling fables, ie. salesmanship; what it isn't about is neither personal development nor intrinsic individual value on a scale of unwanted to wanted human. Think this way and you're as clueless as the employer who needs a sales pitch and doesn't recognize an excellent worker at appropriate wage/package in the field he's hiring by sight and conversation, confidently. Now that's just plain dumbing down the whole world to suit yourself and you know what that means. Yes, half of it is much smarter than you. What was that you were saying about greater intrinsic value among humans? 2. The point you made about earning more money being led not by gathering monies but by enriching the lives of others is true, however this does not lead to gathering monies so you're wrong about that. It leads to earning monies. Doesn't mean you get them. 3. Forget your "personal value" as it's wholly delusional and to be perfectly honest is like a first babystep on the way to schizophrenia. Nip that crap in the bud. Concentrate on the value of what you do. That's what counts to an employer. Your work. Not you. How did that get past your keen sense of value? Feller the whole "road to wealth" self help trip is a scam, designed to prey upon the arrogant and lazy as a consumer market. It is nothing else. |

Well it shows the quality of the legal system. Why make something very easily proved reckless endangerment or even attempted murder, as a race issue?
Medical doctors will confirm every time a person is knocked out an amount of brain damage is dealt, and there is a chance of maiming injury, coma or death. That's reckless endangerment at the least, attempted murder at its most callous. Those are serious charges. So why abandon serious charges and make it a race thing. Nobody gets serious penalties for racism so it's really just downsizing to a lesser charge. I find that abhorrent, personally. It means the US legal system doesn't give a hoot whether people are bashing each other's skulls in for giggles on the street. |

The inside track is light doesn't move nor go anywhere. It's an energization, but any changing state has a rate of change...
Rather than double post I'll edit to express another point I thought prudent, muons have mass and can go very fast, measured at almost the speed of light, as fast as any transmission of rest mass and information as ever recorded and even theorized. Muons go so fast they time travel. Yes, once in motion everything is time travelling due to SR (length contraction). The muon/traveller experiences normal time, but the relative observer is in another velocity vector, ergo experiences time differently. The physical observation was that a muon dramatically exceeded its atomic lifespan when travelling close to the speed of light, perfectly in accordance with Einstein's prediction. It proved you can travel further than the distance physically possible at the speed you're doing, the traveller will believe he somehow got there faster than the speedometer reads, but the observer will believe the traveller aged more slowly than he should've. To the traveller this is time travel exactly the way you see warp drive and hyperspace motivators in science fiction. It's to the observer in your relative point of origin which sees no such thing, but after centuries of travel dead bodies do not arrive, the crew is perfectly healthy and might've aged only years. That's normal special relativity, which is proven and we currently base all hard science on it, including computer engineering. It wouldn't work if it wasn't correct, so it's correct. We observe examples of it being correct and any other hypothesis being falsified. We can fly around the stars like you see in the movies. That's just a question of engines/fuel/energy-technology. It isn't a problem for the crew. It's the people back home that you'll never see again, but the planet and many generations later of population will probably still be around for a return home. You can meet your descendants. Nothing but straight classical physics laws in all that. |

Possibility 1. he is still playing the field and isn't as into a relationship with you as you are with him, as yet.
Possibility 2. he has baggage and immediately balances any strong feelings he has with anyone by escaping into other social environments to clear his head. Either way he's a complicated man, and you don't seem to be down for complicated. And why should you? Complicated often just means childish. |

Perhaps Light is best thought of as a transmission, of a field, which is given an attribute of quanta by thinking minds for comparative measurement. This way you can include it in a math theory that describes the physical universe accurately.
Doesn't make it little quanta. It's still just a transmission, of a field. |

I'd have a lot of unanswered questions on the subject too, but am reminded of a saying a like, "the warrior is responsible for everything which happens in his world", meaning intervention is something I do with no regrets or second guessing. Most of the time I find the law supports me in the situation.
But coming out of the gate I have no greater love for masochists than I do for sadists. If you have physical mobility, freedom is merely a perspective and your own responsibility, that's the truth of it. Protecting the lame within a species has its limits of functionality. |

Bloke, the more you man up like blokes should the more your emotions show on your face, and you just look high strung and ready to snap.
Feller, that puts chicks right off face to face, either they got to fight you or they gotta feel crap around you because of whatever monkey on your shoulder. Loneliness? Yeah well we were all born alone and we'll all die alone mate, alone is a default state. It's not a less than human state, it's a natural human state. Anything more is a bonus and you'd better start getting your head around that part as soon as something like loneliness starts to give you stress. Quite simply, you can wind up a wackadoo otherwise, and that's the thing people really want/need to avoid. Crazies are dangerous, they don't take responsibility for their actions... So avoid giving that impression. Take up meditation or take a shot of social lubricant (a mild drink) before talking to new people and concentrate on putting yourself at ease. You want a happy, relaxed and pleasant expression on your face socially, you want to be honest and quick thinking so best to be an open book, all this means you want to get yourself into your happy-place when you meet new people or they get a little intimidated. That means no stress, no loneliness, just comfortable, satisfied and where you should be no matter where you are. |
