    I went to the Apple Store the other day...

    ... and there was a sign in the window, "Apply within", why? Do they reckon their customers may think it will be orangey inside?

    Evolution

    [/url] Evolution has not stopped, it is a continuous process forever rolling, you can see it in a relatively quick way with bacteria. To see it with complex animals you have to be around for a few thousand years.

    Nothing at all to state the Universe was started by any intelligence. Could be a natural event, could be started by Joe-90, neither involves intelligence.

    Physics Question

    The question is about changes in gravity which CAN happen. Geddit yet? How soon will a change in gravity effect a neighbouring body? Not an impossible question. And the answers have been provided. Gravity travels at the speed of light. Given that the theory of relativity predicts...

    Evolution

    We and the current apes have shared ancestry. Not every fossil for each intermediate species can be or will be found, otherwise you would be digging upu parents, grandparents, great grandparents etc all the way back to the ooze. Shared genetic information between life shows roughly where...

    Physics Question

    If you halve the mass you halve the gravity, yes Joe, well done, no argument there. But how long before the effect reaches us? And again Joe, the question is about changes in GRAVITY, when will for example a sudden cvhange in gravity by the Sun as an example, not a real world event, effect...

    ... Joe-90 was about a mature child who knew everything wasn't it? For some reason, a trick of the mind surely, I keep thinking of Joe-90 as an immature adult who THINKS he knew everything.

    Physics Question

    It was FFS Everyone else got the question. And if the Sun doubles or halves it gravitational effect? There is still mass, so what then? Instantly or speed of light? You can FFS and Geddit yet all you like but you are just being stupidly difficult when plenty of other people took the...

    Physics Question

    Geddit yet? The Sun disappearing is about the effect of GRAVITY. Forget the Sun disappearing, have the Sun's distortion on gravity shrink to half its size, or double its size. The question is how long until we recieve the gravitational effects. Geddit yet? Everyone else does.

    Evolution

    People think that intelligence is the ultimate goal of evolution, we have intelligence therefore we are the pinnacle. Sharp teeth, armour, speed, massive claws etc have proved themselves time and time again, how can we say intelligence is really any good because as far as we know its only...

    USA keeps on getting attacked and it cannot understand why? All it wants is to spread ITS culture and ITS democracy (Pro American candidates only please!) ITS agenda and ITS protection of the American way of life, sod it if it means poverty for everyone else.

    Physics Question

    You keep on making the same stupid mistake of taking the question absolutely literally. I do not seem quite able to accept the mass of the sun can instantly disappear, as stated before, this was given to get people thinking about the speed of gravity. I KNOPW it is impossible, as does...

    Derren Brown, in the end credits of that programme he showed attempt after attempt, (not all of them obviously) think it took him all day to get the one result he wanted.

    Suicide.

    Once I was able to return to work, I did, probably came back too soon to be honest. It is too easy to lable those claiming depression as "lazy" taking advantage of the term. Ignorance of mental health in todays working world is, or can be I should say, akin to ignorance of sexual equality or...

    Physics Question

    But you said earlier you have not denied gravity travels at the speed of light. Either it is the speed of light or it is instantaneous. You are keeping up the instantaneous bit, but if gravity = speed of light it will take TIME, one or the other.

    Physics question 2

    As it had just peaked it would recede as it normally would do regardless of whether the Moon disappeared or not. Any gravitational effect on the tide, should the Moon disappear, would take effect after the light speed time delay from the Moon to the Earth.
