We share half our genes with the banana. Granted the scientists are (probably) only talking about editing the 0.3% of the genome that makes humans different from each other, but with so much of our DNA shared with other eukaryote celled lif

Looking up weights and DNA structures and such things in humans in wiki articles, I have calculated that 0.5% - 2% of the phosphorus in the human body is used in DNA. It seems reasonable to me that it would be at least within an order of ma

Getting 10 questions right may not be statistically more significant than just answering randomly. I would calculate this myself, but I'm going to bed, however, just eyeballing it makes me think this is quite possible.

For me personally, if I have the opportunity to ask questions, I will think of questions to ask and as a byproduct, think about the lecture more critically. If I am unable to ask questions, I am less likely to think critically. Of course, I

Gravity propogates at the speed of light. However, using gravity to send information will allow you to send information through most objects like Earth or the Sin without any satilites to redirect it around the object.

Changing everyones genes so we are all a lot more tolerant of each other and so bigotry is wiped out. Also we need much, much faster transportation, like trains that can travel around the world in 3-4 hours. This way we can see our "neighbo
