4. The C stands for the speed of light. So the equation states that
energy equals mass times the square of the speed of light.

6. Why is Andromeda barreling down on us at this late date?
Edited on Wed Jun-08-05 01:10 PM by RedCloud

10. Why did God put dinosaur fossils in the ground?
Is it really just a way of testing our faith that the world is 6,000 years old, or were dinosaurs real creatures (contemporaneous with humans obviously)?

16. Congratulations of hitting the big 500!!!!
WooHOo!!!! :party: :toast: :bounce: :headbang: :yourock: :woohoo: :applause: :party: :toast: :bounce: :headbang: :yourock: :woohoo: :applause: :party: :toast: :bounce: :headbang: :yourock: :woohoo: :applause: :party: :toast: :bounce: :headbang: :yourock: :woohoo: :applause:

ps. I use the 2nd law of thermodynamics to describe my home these days: it states that "delta S, in any system, is always increasing". That translates to the state of disorder in any system is always increasing. Pretty much sums up my surroundings....
