Haha yeah. The Chernobyl one I understand, because it works similar to photosynthesis. I have no idea how the energy to matter conversion could be done in such a way as to not destroy the organism, but it has to be possible somehow. Nature

Off topic, but I've always thought it would be really cool if something like a fungus evolved that fed off solar radiation. This fungus could convert the energy from radiation into matter/molecules for itself to grow. It would then grow off

Yes, but it has been shown that Earth and Mars have been impacted by comets or meteors, and ejected matter into space which then hit the other planet. Life, or at least molecules that are precursors to life, could easily have hopped a ride

Life actually is pretty common I think. The simplest definition of life would be molecules that replicate. An example of an arguably form of life in space can be found at http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/08/070814150630.ht... Whe

Mars almost certainly doesn't have life anymore, except maybe underground or in caves or something. The thing is that Mars used to be very similar to Earth, and it's even been suggested that life was seeded on Earth from Mars. What they are

I was under the impression that it lasts as long as a typical Li-ion battery of the same capacity. The initial market is apparently batteries for electric cars, so they would have to last a reasonable amount of time.

I find that coding while high never produces good code. I've done it before, and while I can sit and code for a long time, I just make too many stupid mistakes. It takes me forever then to go back and figure out what I did wrong while high;

Definitely an interesting theory. I could absolutely see life forming there, though some of her arguments are a little over the top: "RNA plays an important part in translating the genetic code, and is composed of nitrogenous bases, sugar,

Look at my work before you mod me down. The lines I drew were not drawn with a ruler. If x is 10, then DE is 60 degrees from the line running through D (not 50), parallel to AB, just like the angle DBA. If a protractor says one thing, and

I just solved the first one. Not that difficult. You draw two parallel lines to line AB that intersect E and D. This creates a regular trapezoid. The diagonals are congruent. I don't feel like writing out the rest of the steps, but here is

This is huge step forward in human therapeutic cloning. However it's still incredibly inefficient and could lead to the stem cells having a higher probability of becoming cancerous. Nuclear transfer doesn't usually work in mammals because t

Yeah we never really had a chance to explain how we planned to solve the problem. They just compared us to Yahoo, yet we were completely different than yahoo or anything yahoo was trying to do. They seemed to think that we were just doing a

Just as an update, I have several friends who are medical doctors and have tried kratom. They unanimously approve of kratom for medical as well as recreational uses.

Can you show me that tobacco was used habitually for thousands of years? It wasn't until Europeans started growing plantations of it in the Americas that it was used like this. The native people used it during ceremonial purposes, but this

I think it's assumed by this point that a pregnant woman should not take any drug while pregnant. You would have to be an idiot to even think otherwise. We do know that there are no long term effects, at least not those that the FDA would

I've done kratom, as I'm selling it with rms. I've also taken prescription pain killers, and I can assure you that it is definitely the real thing. A web startup is not for everyone. The problem with web 2.0 is that most of the time, there

The DEA never made any claims that it WAS harmful. They provide no evidence for this. All they claim is that it has "no medical uses" and use this to justify making it a controlled/illegal substance. Alcohol, however, is the worst drug you

But WHY do you seem to find this offensive? No one has any problems when other people advertise their startup; that's an accepted use of this site.
