| I knew all of that...it's pretty cool.hmmmm........well did you know DNA stands for dioxyribo nuclaic acid? also, pi+3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419 (And on and on...) (Thats out of memory) | |

| Well I like it....Did you know that we think every particle in the universe is connected by tinny quantum wormholes? It's awesome...Do you belive this? | |

That's neat. I heard of a theory similar to that in a book, but I forget what it's called... could you please explain further? | |

| Sure, so some scientists belive that all matter down to subbatmic particles are all linked by tiny invisible streaks of space and energy, so all particles can comunicate. We belive this nature of "Wormholes" is how all space time is llinked togeather...I could go on for hours but I won't so...there you have it. | |

| Space is like a giant mat, to get from A to B you have to travel across the mat, a wormhole is when there is a fold in this mat therefore you don't have to travel as far. Here is a picture I found that explains it | |

| Did you know that if a spaceship got to 99% the speed of light, time would slow down on the ship so much that from the crew's perspective they could travel seven light-years in a single week? I learned that in a Stephen Hawking documentary. | |

I don't know very much about quantum physics. All I know about is quantum foam, as explained in the book, Timeline, by Michael Crichton.
Apparently, very small objects (like protons and electrons, for example) are not perfect spheres or do not have perfect edges. The surface of these objects is arranged in a bubble-like texture known as quantum foam. I loved that book! Michael Crichton is awesome. Sphere was my favorite though. But back on topic, the Universe is somewhat a fractal of sorts. Subatomic quantum structure is a foam. Then zoom out to the other extreme: a universal view, and the way galaxies and superclusters are arranged in space looks web-like or foamy. | |

I understand this (Kinda uncomplicated theory) but what I'M saying is a bit more "Sciency" (If you will). I don't exactly believe the entire "Reconfigured space hole" thing with "Hyperspace" and "Hyperspace" is more complicated in theory than that. what I'M saying is that you're theory is more of a "Bending space theory" than the quantum physics of a tunnel of defused space that is like a tube of bended space in a loop in an unfocused basic backboard of space's regular time-space disfigurement. yeah......okay! I just typed that myself! FWEEEWWW! | |

| I know, I think there is more than one type of wormhole. Did you also know about the theory that we use quantum tunnelling to smell? The smell particle goes up one nostril, quantum tunnels through the sensory thing in our nose and out the opposite nostril. We don't know that much about smell at all really. | |

What? nostrils? what? anyway, does anyone else have a topic we can discus? | |

Titan You mean t Riton My opinion: Mars cause it was closest to earth but it died before we inhabited the earth. If we can get the right technology then we can make mars alive again and colonize it. the other planets would be much harder | |

I should be a planrt, even if it is in the kuiper belt, smaller than our moon, and in an oval orbit like a coment. | |

| I speak for science (Well of coarse) and I think it's okay that it's a dwarf, it's still included is it not? and can you name ALL the dwarfs in our system? | |

| There are 3 others than Pluto, 2 more in the kuiper belt, 1 in the asteroid belt (That i think shoud just be an average asteroid) | |

| I recall you mentioned that before. Was it some planet or star that is a good candidate for Earth-like life?
Frankly, I'm not too keen on the Earth-like life theory. Considering the vastly different conditions in the universe that life could evolve in, there's little chance that aliens would share any similarities with us. We could look at some rock on some far away world and not even know it was alive because we don't know what to look for. That's a rather farfetched example, but I think it illustrates the point. | |

| Well when we say "Earth-like" we mean "Can sustain life" not "LOOKS LIKE EARTH!" so yeah...but do you think there is other life near us? And how about light-speed? Or string theory? | |
