- 512: Black Holes
- ... you cross the event horizon, youll be spinning around the center at the speed of light. As you get closer to the center, or what scientists call the "singularity", the theory of the speghetti effect comes into play. That is, the gravitational pull of the center of the black hole is greater at your feet than your head, thus pulling stronger at your feet, and stretching you out to a point of infinite thinness. This same force is what causes the tides in our ocean, hence the name "tidal forces". The time in which it takes you to witness this effect depends on the size of the black hole. A smaller black hole means that its singularity is not far away, thus killing you quicker. If you could somehow get into a horizon safely and look ... this radiation comes from the black holes mass, thus shrinking the black hole. Gradually, a black hole wears itself out into nothing. Stephen Hawkings introduced this idea in the 1970s. Hollywood has a big effect on the way we view astronomy, and one of the more recent anomalies taken over by Hollywood is the possibility of the "wormhole". Before you can understand what a wormhole is, you must understand ...
- 513: Blood Alcohol Level (BAL)
- ... BREATHING STOPS. MANY DIE. As can be seen, the most reliably pleasurable effects of alcohol occur when BAL rises to about .03-.05. Alcohol researchers have discovered that low levels of alcohol have a specific effect on thinking; alcohol results in a reduction of "self-monitoring." (Hull & Reilly, 1986).

Some people find this effect so rewarding that they continue to drink. Unfortunately, these relaxing effects diminish as BAL rises above .05. Instead emerge a host of negative effects, such as less emotional control, coordination and judgment impairment, hangovers ...

- ... mass and experienced an increase in strength two and a half times greater than test subjects who followed the same workout program but used a placebo(5). HMB has been shown to have a positive effect on protein metabolism. HMB also appears to be safe and non-toxic. It has also been shown to have only positive effects on health and human metabolism with HMB supplementation. HMB seems to shift the balance of protein metabolism in favor of new muscle growth, and it also appears to minimize the breakdown of muscle tissue (an anti-catabolic effect). In doing so, HMB can help support a consistent increase in muscle tissue growth. According to studies HMB supplementation may double the muscle building and fat burning effects of exercise. It is unknown exactly how ... dietary intake. Thus, based on the chemistry of HMB, it would be predicted that HMB is a Seabee compound. In the discussion of these three supplements you can see that they do have an overall effect on an athletes performance.

Some of these tariffs are listed below. Mexico's turmoil since ...
- 516: Feasible Ways In Which Humans
- ... we have recognized that there have been some costs or externalities that have developed out of our extremely prosperous time period. Some of these costs are urban sprawl, global warming, pollution, and the increase of greenhouse gases just to name a few. The Greens solution to deal with these externalities is to declare capitalism the enemy and wage a war in order to either sustain or end growth altogether while moving ... When the Western Countries were in the beginning phases of growth we used extremely high amounts of scarce resources in order to develop more efficient output. Better technologies were created and there was a snowball effect, which created greater and greater amounts of efficiencies.

- 518: The First Cause
- ... to happen, a force must be applied by something else. Aquinas uses the analogy of a stick moving something only if a hand moves the stick. However, he contends that this series of cause and effect cannot go back into an infinite past. According to his Summa Theologica, Aquinas reasons that " this cannot go back to infinity. If it did, there would be no first cause of change and, consequently, no ... other causes of change-for something can be a secondary cause of change only if it is changed by a primary cause." Essentially Aquinas argues that to remove a cause, is to also remove its effect. Therefore, by removing the initial efficient cause, all resultant intermediary causes are also removed. This would also negate the possibility of any final cause. Aquinas' argument at this point appears to be logically sound insofar ... the world. Hume developed arguments against unconditionally trusting our perception of causality. These arguments state that because event 'A' is always observed directly before event 'B' it is assumed that this is a cause and effect series.

Hume referred to the causal principle as simply a "habit of association" produced by ...

- ... which provides that Congress shall make no law...prohibiting the free exercise of religion'.(Questions and Answers, Map of the RFRA).
