Why Do Scientists Assume That If They Found A Planet With Habitable Conditions, It Would Harbor Life?

Maybe DNA accidentally winds itself on some “habitable” planet other than earth, but how????? Making replicatable molecules is like the most impossible code to crack and we say that it should happen by accident??? Scientist jump over this point. Dawkins describes the first living molecules as “clay” buy clay what???The Drake equation is clearly wrong. It needs to be looked at not from the universe’s size but in terms of probability at the molecular level.

Is It Ok To Go On Vacation Without My Husband?

Jonathan Jones — Thu, 23 May 2013 04:03:22 +0000

I want to go on vacation with my family, but my husband has to work and get our daughter to summer school. He says that “people who can’t pay there bills have no business going on vacation”. His argument is that he would not go on a vacation without me. Any opinions? We have only been married 18 months and have a 6 year old and a 7 month old, and live with my parents until I go back to work.

How Can The Universe Be Expanding? Wouldn’t This Mean There Is Some Thing Outside The Universe?

Jonathan Jones — Wed, 22 May 2013 21:02:02 +0000

I don’t understand how scientists say the universe is expanding, because this would mean there’s some thing outside the universe to expand into. When they say the universe was once the size of an atom, what was outside that atom? It doesn’t make any sense to me.

What Do You Think About Astronomy Tourism?

Not the same as Space Tourism, which is going into Earth orbit and see the planet from Space.

For instance, the Space Elevator/Beanstalk will be used to get a rocket into space before launch, thus saving a lot of fuel. Come up with ideas for space travel and/or space habitats! Be creative.

What would you do if every single thing (including yourself) doubled in size?

How Can I Tell A Date To Not Call Me And Give Me Some Space During My Vacation?

Jonathan Jones — Wed, 22 May 2013 06:01:21 +0000

I will be going for a 12 days visit to an international country. I am dating this person since 3 months (I am not in love with him, and he is – we are just seeing how things go) who said I had to give him my number upon reaching there. I want to see this break as a real vacation to relax with peace of mind, and not have someone call me all days to chat or check on me.
What exactly can I say to him, so he gets the message without being hurt?

As The Universe Expands, Would The Speed Of Light Change?

Jonathan Jones — Wed, 22 May 2013 00:55:10 +0000

Suppose it was immediately after the Big Bang and the Universe was the size of, lets say, a football field. Would it take the same amount of time for a light beam to travel from one side to the other as it would now, with the Universe at it’s current size? Basically, would it take hundreds of billions of years for a light beam to cross 100 yards in a football field sized Universe?

Do You Think Space Tourism (if It Ever Becomes Reality) Will Cost Less Than 3,000 Dollars?

Jonathan Jones — Wed, 22 May 2013 00:38:38 +0000

We all know that companies are working on space tourism possibilities. Do you think that will lead to mass civilians taking advantage of this and paying under 3,000 to 500 dollars for a ticket? Also do you think it will lead to mass civilians taking off in North Carolina and arriving in London or Australia is less than an hour. My reason is I don’t want my family or fomer school mates to have it easier to get to me. Am I worried for nothing and should get a life?
