Can time stand still? Can time run backwards? The answer is actually YES and NO. Some sub atomic particles appear to go backwards in time. Light travels at a fixed speed but actually does not really experience time. It mostly depends on what you call "time". Is the time measurement the same as time?

Earths rotation seems to be slowing down. It might due to the tidal drag the moon exerts on the oceans. This might be compensated by earthquakes that tend to make earth more compact and increasing rotation (think figure skater lowering the arms and spinning faster). What other factors are there?

The earths surface is being constantly bombarded by space debris to the tune of a few tons every day. Most of the dust on earth is space dust. Maybe earth is gaining more mass every day? Hydrogen and helium gas leaks out into space that decreases earth's mass?

Temperature and heat are not the same. An iceberg has more heat (caloric) than a cup of hot water. The cup of water of course has a higher temperature, but the iceberg has more heat. That means that "global warming", (which is not real) has nothing to do with a temperature reading of a few minutes.

The center of the earth is hotter than the surface of the sun, at about 8000f. Glad for our few thousand miles of rock and soil insulation. The heat maybe due to radiation decay, notice how hot volcanoes are. The core is mainly molten iron and nickel and silicon.

The moon is about 1/6 the size of earth. Amazing because it is the largest moon to planet ratio we know of. The moon does not rotate (always the same side to earth). We had never seen the other side of the moon until the 1970's (or 60's?) when our spacecraft went there.

Our earth is rotating on its axis and around the sun. In addition it is tilted about 23 degrees declination which gives us our 4 season's. (We are actually closer to the sun in winter by a few million miles). This tilt wobbles a bit and that's the main cause of climate change.

Can the human brain ever run out of memory space? Is there any physical evidence of our brain memory? Is it possible to read what's in your brain? Is the memory electrical or chemical storage (or both, or neither?)

Humans are very special. We did not evolve from apes. If that were true we would be seeing apes evolving into humans...half ape half human and everything in between. We do not see this. There is no "missing link". God created humans as special. Apes and all other animals were also created.

Water evaporation is higher than predicted? Besides temperature now it was discovered that sunlight of a certain frequency and angle can evaporate water. A green laser demonstrated this at MIT. This could really help to make fresh water from seawater much cheaper than regular distillation

Why do people think bacteria and viruses are always bad? Our bodies depend on some bacteria and viruses to live. Especially our digestive system. It's a symbiotic relationship that humans have with bacteria and viruses. Of course there are the harmful types.

Is the universe similar to a Klein bottle? It seems so to me.

Maybe the universe is like a big mobius strip. A continuous loop that is so big that we have not yet been able to get all the way around it only to find out we are back at the same place we started? If true then can we ever get "outside" this loop into another dimension? Is there even an end?

If the universe is finite then what lies beyond its borders? If the universe is infinite then does it go on forever in distance? Does it "fold back on itself" like a donut and you will eventually get back to where you started? Any thoughts? (aliens also welcome to comment)

A theological question that cannot be answered by science. Is heaven a real physical place? Does heaven need to be a physical place? Does time stop when we die? Eternity implies infinite time span, it has no end and time may not even exist at all after a person dies? Is the number of souls growing?

Cell replication is called MITOSIS. We age because the replication is not exact. My guess is that hi speed particles are going thru our body (millions a day). Mostly neutrinos, muons, electrons and protons. This particle penetration changes our DNA code slightly causing aging Any thoughts?

Why do we age? Our cells are dying and new replicates are being made every day. In about 7 years most all your cells are replaced (you are a replica of yourself). The replication is not perfect due to environment.

2nd law of thermodynamics says that energy is conserved, but law of entropy says usable energy is always decreasing. The TOTAL energy is always constant but the energy available for use always decreases. The universe will eventually stop (heat death) as no more energy available to use.

Light moves very fast at 186000 miles a second. But wait, physics says that light is timeless and never "ages". Both statements are true. Light is "measured" at the fastest speed physics allows it to be measured but also true that there is no time arrow on light. Go figure that one out?

Nothing you see is really solid or liquid. If you were to look any solid under extreme magnification, almost all of it is empty space (nothing). Even the tiny bit that appears to be solid is not really solid (electrons, protons/neutrons). Fundamentally nothing exists. It's all just energy.

All the electrons in your body only account for about 21 grams. The rest is in the protons and neutrons. BTW protons and neutrons are just different constituents of the same particle. Protons are stenable, neutrons are unstable outside the atomic nucleus.

Ever wonder where your weight comes from. Almost all weight (mass) is in the protons/neutrons. The mass seems to be created by quarks inside the proton spinning at very hi speeds creating inertial mass. Interesting is that the sum of the masses is larger than the total mass. Try to figure that out?

Your body cells are continually dying and new ones are being replicated (not perfectly, that is why we age) Billions of cells die and billions being replaced. You are constantly dying and being born every day.

Questions??? Are rainbows real? Is the color "magenta" real? Is darkness real? Are your thoughts real? Think about these before trying to answer. Hint: Things are not what they seem to be.
