Possible attributing factor for Global Warming?
Could increased population of the planet possibly attribute to the effects of global warming? To explain exactly what I am asking, could our body heat itself be attributing to this? Its kinda like when you are in a small room just crammed full of other people there will always be a noticeable rise in the rooms temperature, could this also be happening to the planet with a population of many billions of people within a finite area?
10 AnswersGlobal Warming4 years agoWhy is it assumed that a mothers relationship with children is more important than a fathers?
You see it over and over again, especially when you look at divorce records, not to mention movies/tv shows really anywhere in the media. Id like to think that Im a good father, I spend more time with my children than my wife, I do all of the care taking involved with my children even, I provide the lions share of the income. Yet if you were to ask almost any random person to pick which of us(myself or my wife) should have custody of our children in the case of a divorce and without any prior knowledge of our relationships, I can say with certainty that most, if not all would pick my wife, for no other reason than she is the mother.
I am happily married and Im not looking for advice as far as divorce or anything like that only why this is predominately the opinion in even todays society.
2 AnswersGender Studies4 years agoWhy do the masses in general have such a hard time accepting validated, new scientific ideas?
Expanding on that thought why do people generally accept theories as absolute facts when in essence they are only our best guess usually based on observations of natural processes? Furthermore why are these theories taught in schools as absolute factual truth when again it is just an observation?

5 AnswersAstronomy & Space5 years agoIs the only real way for the human species to survive indefinitely, to colonize space and other planets?
There is a multitude of problems facing humanity that are directly impacted by population growth alone, as food sources go Earth is projected to be able to handle a sustainable population of no more than 10 billion people as far as this factor is concerned, beyond some leap in technology that nullifies this issue not to mention the multitude of issues that begin to accumulate as the population grows, is this the only way for the human race to continue?
2 AnswersOther - Science5 years agoQuestion about pear shaped nuclei recently discovered originally by Cern but now validated in a later study.?
Could this nuclei be used to navigate unknown systems in the universe? Ill pose this hypothetical situation so as to help you understand what I'm asking. Say we find a way to not only open and control a "wormhole" and said wormhole is indeed a method of "transportation" could the fact that this nuclei stays in one position allow us to actually calculate were you have been transported to? Like a better north star if you would?

2 AnswersGovernment5 years agoWhat could this object/s be spotted by SOHO near Earth's star?
What natural occurrences could cause something like this to manifest itself? Why would humans put something like this, at this distance, by Earth's star. I'm not saying we put it there just to be clear, I'm just looking for reasons any intelligent entity would have for putting something so close to the Earth's star. This "structure" has been spotted numerous times or at least objects that are similar have been spotted by SOHO from 2011 to current. I do understand this could be written off as poor quality or glitches. I cannot upload photos apparently but here is a link and much more information is available via a quick google search.
4 AnswersAstronomy & Space5 years agoPossible implications of "Alien Disclosure".?
What will really be the ramifications of a credible government presenting undeniable evidence of intelligent alien contact. Without making any assumptions of the possible intentions of these extraterrestrials how would humanity receive this information, how would we (humanity) react as a whole?
6 AnswersSociology5 years agoWill there ever be a nuclear war on a global scale?
What would the ramifications of such event (excluding the possibility of nuclear winter) be? What would the recovery entail and in what form would it most likely take?
What areas would be the worst hit? What would the fallout actually be, assuming only clean modern nuclear warheads were used? I am making the assumption the originating conflict would be between 2 superpowers with a third trying to assert control after the originating powers have been weakened by the initial conflict. If that is a poor assumption please make your own.
3 AnswersMilitary5 years agoWhy aren't the findings of massive skeletons found across the world studied and utilized?
It seems that there are too many to simply write off as a mere rare mutation and they are found everywhere especially in the Americas. Couldn't these have implications for our understanding of the human evolution? Why are they shoved to the basements of museums and simply forgotten/overlooked?
3 AnswersOther - Science5 years agoWhy would China deny the existence of massive pyramids?
Its said that there are massive pyramidal structures in some China's "Forbidden Zones" in which their government denies its very existence, even though at least one surpass' even the great pyramid in size according to archaeologists. What possible reasons would they have to deny the existence of such a megalithic structure when it is so blatantly obvious that it does indeed exist? Why even bother with suppressing such information? I attempted to upload some aerial photos, but unfortunately yahoo is having issues doing it, plenty of photos are available via a google search though.

8 AnswersAstronomy & Space5 years agoWhy was operation High Jump cut so short when it was initially planned as a much longer and comprehensive exploratory and defense mission?
I'm interested in all theories but would also like to know what was the "official" response and justification of the nationalities involved in said expedition. From what I've found that there was 4 deaths listed which although sad, are not to be unexpected in such a environmentally hostile place and couldn't have been a justification for wasting such an investment so soon after the war.
