Aging is encoded in our DNA with a purpose, if we will be able to fully understand how DNA works me might be able to partially disable it but will we want to? maybe when we will reach that level of knowledge we will also have the wisdom to

Unfortunately it's just talking, there is no real progress in either space exploration let alone colonization or aging, hygiene and antibiotics was and it's still is the only thing that prolonged life in the last century, we still

space exploration is awesome but it will be more awesome if we find life because that will tells us more about life and us.

Open office + headphones was the best place work space for me, one big reason for me to have a job is to be surrounded by people and feel that I'm part of a team, otherwise I could just work from home instead of a stupid cubicle that m

Scientists are strange, is enough to find a small viking stone in canada as proof for viking presence but seeing pyramids and megalithic structures all over the world is not enough to convince them that ancient civilizations on different co

What problems are simple and random? can you give some examples to prove your argument?

Not the old terminator theory again that the machine exceeds human intelligence, it seems that everybody misses the point of DNA, once we understand how it really works and how our brains are built we can build things that will exceed any s

I think it's quite the opposite, believing we are alone in the universe just because we don't have the capability to explore and detect life for me it looks the same as the belief people had a few hundred years ago that the sun or

What evidence? we don't have enough data to draw conclusions on this matter, we barely sent a very limited robot on mars and some probes in the solar system, the universe is huge. We can't initiate contact because of primitive tec

Milder conditions relative to our environment? this is subjective, where do you see complex life and how do you know that complex life requires "milder" conditions or that is rare if we only have ourselves as an example that happe

We have bacteria that live inside volcanoes or on the bottom of the ocean in extreme conditions, life adapts, without the moon life would only look differently there is no proof that without the moon life on earth would not be possible, loo

If we will find them then this is an intersection on our technology advancements and proximity of such lifeforms, considering how little effort is currently put on space exploration it will take extremely long, things will probably accelera

Great filter theory is pure speculation because this is the only thing you can have in absence of any data on the subject. Beyond our solar system the best data we have are shadows blocking star light that indicate an exoplanet sometimes th

Mars and his satellites have many surprises, maybe we will find something extraordinary there during our lifetime. We should go boldly where man has not gone before. Fly by the comets, visit asteroids, visit the moon of Mars. There’s a mono

I use http://meldmerge.org and besides syntax coloring it has filters for comments and whitespace, a 3 way file compare and folder compare that is very useful to see changes between code updates.
