Quiet in here :-) Here's an actual science issue that's going to be huge over the next few years. it's going to be big science and it's going to generate a lot...

The Royal Mint[1] is to celebrate the 200th anniversay of Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin Of Species with a...
... The criteria they use for coins probably stipulate that images have to be recognisable and simple. Darwin facing a chimpanzee is pretty simple. Ian -- Ian...
Personally, I like it. It reinforces the fact that our closest non-human relative is the chimp. Actually, every time I look into the mirror, I see a chimp. :)...
Hi Ian, I could be doing bettter, but I'm having some health problems that I'm trying to take care of. I guess our bodies aren't really that intelligently ...
I have no problem with Mr. Darwin looking at a chimp (on a stamp), but they might be well advised to focus on the finch as there's less hot air and anxiety...
... We're not as agitated about that in the UK :-) ... Same here. Same everywhere. I'm spending the next 2/3 years reading and exercising. Come out the other...
Can anyone give me an example of a valid scientific reason to perform a late term abortion such that the hosting (mother) organism would actually die if the...
You have to wonder what (now extinct) species might have been learning to look at exoplanets and taking computer pictures of Earth about 4.435 billion years...
... Define late term. In any event this is a medical question. If a women's doctors agree that there is a medical risk to a pregnant women (and mental illness...
... a late term abortion such that the hosting (mother) organism would actually die if the late term abortion were not performed? Yes. The mother lives in a...
... I'm not a doctor, but the obvious case would be a baby that has died in utero (for whatever reason) and become toxic. I'm sure a medical professional could...
Well ... I was specifically looking for life threatening coditions that would have forced the INITIAL abortion in late term (third trimester). I'm trying to...
... It isn't a judgement call. This type of polarised discussion is exactly what I didn't want to happen here. Looks like I was correct at the start and wrong...
I think the Earth does just fine on its own. Huge and rapid climate changes are not uncommon on this planet and this current warming trend will shift -...
... That's not the issue. No one disputes that. The issue at hand is that the CO2 released due to industrial activity is causing a rapid change (in relative...

... I would love to have a car that can go 300 miles on a single charge ... something I could re-charge with solar energy in my own garage. I think that would...
... The car is possible, but assuming a garage that's 4m on a side, that's only about 12kw at peak sunlight, of which modern solar cells can extract only about...
You could use a handful of solar panels attached to a dc battery array in your garage. Then at night, simply transfer the stored energy from those batteries...
Just read on Mike Sims' blog that he has been in the hospital. Just in case others here don't know: <http://mikesims10670.livejournal.com/4516.html> Hopefully...
