    For many years scientists have assumed that for a being to be intelligent,It has to resemble a human,Therefore chimpanzees were on the right part of the genetic tree,But try and get a chimpanzee to paint and not only does it have great difficulty concentrating for more than 4 seconds but it cant...

    Voyagers move into Interstellar space

    Besides the discovery of new planets, I wonder if they will be used as medium of communication with extra-terrestrial life (if there is any out there). Would certainly be a breath taking moment to know that we are indeed not the only civilization in the known universe. __________________ Venus...

    Syria and the US -Jupiter in Cancer opposition Pluto in Capricorn

    Hi all There was a vote in the House of Commons last night on whether to intervene immediately in the attacks with illegal chemical weapons on the people of Syria, or wait for the UN's decision. I'm personally glad to say that our Conservative British government was defeated by a narrow...

    Invention - When did we Stop?

    I think if i was to build a Maglev Vacuum train,I would make most of the track out of plastic conduit raised high off the ground so that it reduced interference on farmers fields and industrial zones etc by not taking up much ground footprint except for the pylons that hold the track up in the...

    Invention - When did we Stop?

    The beginning of it all i think :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_railway The Atmospheric Railway,Some of them ran for up to a year,But ultimately the materials were inadequate for example leather being used for air tight seals which was coated in tallow to keep it supple,Unfortunately...

    Dear Bob Zemco Have you not learnt how to control your ego yet?It appears to me that you are a bot because this part of you is running you unconsciously,But your oblivious of this fact and consequently you are unconsciously imposing your negativity on others,When in fact this is your...

    Neptune-Uranus-Pluto 2026

    Hi Therese Sorry ive taken so long to reply,Hospitals,illness and life in general have intervened,As i previously said you need to apply the configuration to something to obtain its significance.In your case it needs to be to do with something your interested in.And the method used is dependent...

    Neptune-Uranus-Pluto 2026

    Hi Therese Aspects like that don't happen very frequently,Especially between the 3 outer planets as it takes hundreds of years for them to recycle the zodiac,But the significance is much more important.It has to be applied to something.And as your in the mundane section of this site it needs to...

    Invention - When did we Stop?

    I think that there are many factors that reduce the development of new inventions that are almost insurmountable,The UK being traditionally a very inventive country is severely effected by one of them,The fact that as soon as someone here invents something new it is copied by other...

    Invention - When did we Stop?

    Hi JUPITERASC:) This one certainly will take off,In fact it already has as Electric batteries have now reached a stage where they can power an electric bike for a considerable time.I think an average charge will easily do 40 to 50 miles per charge averaging 30mph,which makes electric bicycles...

    Invention - When did we Stop?

    It appears that the 3D printing of gun parts in plastic has reached a significant stage due to New York city setting new regulations that makes it a crime for anyone other than a gun smith to do this,And they also need to apply for a licence to do so.This sets a new precedent in 3D printing...
