The largest thing we know in science is a Brane.
Brands contain universes.
Universes contain clusters. But,
Clusters are made of galaxies.
Galaxies are made of stars . . . well, mostly stars.
Stars have systems.
Each star system has planets.
Planets have . . . "spheres" our planet, Earth, has a biosphere
This biosphere is made of living organisms. Like you and I . . . and goats.
These organisms are made of organic systems.
These systems are made up of organs. like that tongue.
Organs are made of tissue.
Tissue, is made of cells
Cells are made up of organelles.
Organelles . . . are made up of GIANT molecules!
Molecules are made up of atoms . . .
Now, atoms are made of subatomic particles . . . the electron, the protons, neutrons.
Wait . . . even the neutron is made up of the electron and the proton.
The proton is made of quarks!
And quarks are made up of little, cute, superstrings.

Gluons keep the atom core together and photons are the senior messengers that carry energy. little neutrinos are the junior messengers. they can go anywhere.
We must not forget the higgs boson. This bulky guy gives all the other particles mass!!
The electron is the negative guy that actually allows matter to occupy space!! Without that dude, matter would smash into each other and form huge black holes
But nothing would be complete without the graviton. A really, really small particle which is really good at hiding.
It allows you to play football, play "no bouncing" jump, play basketball, even swim

The universe is fascinating!! Each level of arrangements have a whole lot of juicy facts and patterns that can make your head swirl with excitement!!
Which is why we study it with mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology! And in science, our ultimate goal is to be able to explain every thing. To understand your universe. From the smallest string, to the largest Brane. In fact, EVERYTHING



Cheers!

l be wan follow you because of ur interest in astronomy, bt this1 wey u no believe in God

Freemanan:


Well, That's Why it's called one of the "WONDERS" of the world. IT'S like asking for a scientific explanation of the Alexandria light house. It's a cosmic pre ordination that precedes any intelligence and it can never be deduced logically.

rockiedink:


Technically you're wrong amigo...

The mausoleum can be explained...as can the temple at Halicarnassus...or the statue of Diana...by science.

So postulating that because it's called a 'wonder' means it can't be explained is balderdash. Because our forebears in the 1600s couldn't explain gunpowder and ammunition didn't mean that guns were magic did they?

Teempakguy:
it is. Nicolas could only prove that with mathematics. Without math, all science is just philosophy. It is maths that gives the final proof of any knowledge evolved.

menesheh:



Unless is not you. I tot it was a guy i argued with in religion section that couldn't defend his claims.


I was so swift in my action after my initia response to ur reasons for the statement you made.

I satire too and gat no reasons to rain abusive words on you.

Cheer

Welcome ...Chemistry is fun

Freemanan:

Waiting for the Hanging garden explanation then Mate

johnydon22:


I am of the opinion that the hanging gardens can be explained . . (mind you it is not literally plants floating on mid air) . . its a matter good functioning irrigation system to keep the plants alive to which am sure even you and i can tender a hypothesis without having to study the gardens personally

rockiedink:

You don dey use your brain...like a scuentitist!!! Hehehe
Chop knuckle!!!

Lol...

Freemanan:

Teempakguy:
I hope you realize what would happen if you were to suddenly fall?
The terminal velocity of the human body is 360m/s. Multiply that with your mass, you will experience an average force of 36000N upon hitting the ground.
Abeg, come down.

rockiedink:


The key to understanding the 'hanging gardens' is to remember that Babylon was in the desert...and vegetation was sparse...

It's also known that the gardens had multiple terraces...

Since we know the water wheel had been invented at this time, who's to say there wasn't a duct through which a water wheel (or something similar...you get the drift) pushed water all the way to the top of this formation...

Then by a series of carefully planned, cut and channeled grooves and well laid soil within these terraces, allow gravity to do the rest of his work of 'watering' the 'garden' and then all you need is a knowledgeable husbandman and voila! You can have whatever plants you wanted and all would work as it should....

That's one way of looking at it mate...

If they could build the pyramids and the sphinx...

@ teempakguy, pls, can you explain why genetic variation makes cancer difficult to treat? thanks in anticipation

Hello.
Unfortunately, I am not an expert on advanced genetics. But, I can offer something.

It would seem that genetic diversity is highly useful in determining the survival of a certain class of organisms. The more diverse a species is, the higher its chances of being able to adapt to its environment and hence, the higher its chances of survival.
As we know, cancer is a situation in which a neoplasm spontaneously arises. Endangering the host organism. In this case, a new system has formed which acts as a parasite to the host. If we are to refer to this as a separate organism, sort of, it follows from the above that the higher the genetic diversity of the parent cells, the higher the chances of the neoplasm, e.g, tumor surviving. Simply because it can adapt.

Another way of looking at it is that genetic diversity makes the behaviour of tumors or cancer cells unpredictable. It is uncertain, what will affect the cell, positively, negatively, or not at all.

Another way, yet, of looking at this is that cancer cells, due to genetic diversity, cannot be classified because each clone has a different genetic make up. It is not like malaria, in which, all the plasmodium have the same Genetic make up and can be finished off with a single drug. A cancer cell is essentially brand new and varies across each individual.

These are my humble submissions. I trust the biologists here will add and subtract.

Cheers!

Lol. . . Belief/Unbelief in deity concepts makes no difference in scientific discussions or studies. . Belief impairs no one to study or discuss science except for some who for the so reason of finding some scientific facts contradictory to their belief chose to forgo/dismiss these facts to uphold their belief or superstition

Lushcream:
While I was growing, I use to queried myself for the significance of mathematics because one is rarely thought importance of mathematics other than 1×1 to simultaneous to quadratic then jump to binomial and polynomial .... etc ..... Through soul searching , I was able to discovered that Everything in this life even the entire universe is built on MATHEMATICS . The fact that some branches of knowledge are devoid of equations doesn't imply mathematics ain't present .... any element containing measurements is mathmatics.

kandiikane:


What makes up the superstrings?

1miccza:



Talking about carefully channelled grooves , that would be one hell of a task and do the water wheels shoot sprays of water upwards??

Queed:



This is 'purely' correct, and its the fact too.

I always try to have an open mind about everything, and when scientific facts contradict believe or the other way round, I always put to use the the law postulated by some QUALIFIED African Teacher/Lecturers know as 'Gba bee's ' (youruba language meaning take it like that ) theory.
like u asked in your other post; 'why does rain fall' , I would accept the scientific facts and also accept the 'Belief'

hope you don't start seeing me as a nuisance because I believe

ELYMAXiimus:

i'm in!
I hope more nd more science enthusiasts join, so that we can get to know nd help one another!


Btw, Nice post. That thing you said about the dining nd the toilet was really funny.
Keep the goodwork going..

Nope the water wheels just need to take the water into a channelling system that will have a fairly well distributed channel through out the garden. . so it is a huge architectural task but do not forget who we are dealing with here, not just any king but the mighty, rich and powerful. . Nebuchadenezeer he has the resources to achieve that as many times as he wants

samwayne154:
I want 2 also join how can I? Or is it d normal science $ technology forum?

AreaFada2:


I think science is too factual. It's empirical, based on evidence and requires a certain intellectual depth. It tasks the mind a lot more. It is also not as interesting or entertaining like calling GEJ names and making wild speculations.

Many scientists may not even be registered here, but read some stuff and leave.
Our economic system is not encouraging too. If engineers, biochemists, pharmacists, mathematicians have to look for banking jobs anyway, why bother?

The binary system used in computing today has long been used by Ifa priests for divination, for millennia, some of the oldest wooden mathematical instruments possibly used in calculating the calendar, menstrual cycle or both, were discovered in central Africa. The ancient pyramid builders of Nubia, mostly likely the origins of the Luxor/Giza pyramids definitely used mathematical knowledge in doing so.
