- 591: Censorship of Books: Freedom of What?
- ... how you can become addicted to them so easily,” one student stated in response to the banning of the book. Another student stated, “It is about the real world. It is not a book about fiction, and that is what scares people.” Ignoring the comments of other students and parents who were also opposed to banning the book, the principal heeded that one complaint and confiscated the twenty-two copies of ...
- 592: Human Cloning
- Human Cloning Human cloning was always thought to be something you see in science-fiction novels or films but now with science and technology rapidly advancing we now can see that human cloning can become a distinct possibility. Cloning especially in humans has become one of the most heated debates ...
- 593: Interstellar Travel: Sooner or Later?
- ... a scientist, and leader of NASA’s Breakthrough Physics Propulsion lab) said, "The ideal interstellar propulsion system would be one that could get you to other stars as quickly and comfortably as envisioned in science fiction. Before this can become a reality, three scientific breakthroughs are needed: discovery of a means to exceed light speed, discovery of a means to propel a vehicle without propellant, and discovery of a means to ...
- 594: The Leaf-Cutting Ants
- ... the basidiomycte family called Lepiotaceae. Some researchers say that all gardening ants cultivate a single form of the fungus species, Leucocoprinus gongylophorus (Hoyt 1996). Leaves are brought in by workers and then reduced to a pulp and incorporated with their saliva and fed to the fungus. These fungi produce swollen hyphae (gongylidia), bunches of which are known as staphylae. These provide food for the ants and their larvae (Weber 1972). For ...
- 595: The Superstring Theory
- ... symmetries of the HE theory cause the universe to actually be two. Meaning, occupying the same space as our universe is a parallel shadow universe. However, this theory does better than just sound like science fiction (there is a television show loosely based on this called "Slid! ers"); it accounts for mass that scientists have not been able to account for ("missing mass" problem). This is possible and somewhat logical because ...
- 596: Human Cloning
- ... Marwick, p 14). It is feared that once scientists achieve the knowledge to clone humans, their studies will be rushed and cloning could get out of control, perhaps resulting in a social holocaust. Religion Science fiction has now become science fact with the idea of cloning at our fingertips. As matters involving cloning begin to shift toward human applications, many condemning concerns arise from religious beliefs. The major religious groups are ...
- 597: The Theory of Evolution
- ... about the fossil gaps: the fossils go missing in all the important places " (Hitching 19). Zoologist N. J. Berril also found this to be true when he said: "in a sense this account is science fiction" (Life 71). How did Darwin account for this? Darwin attempted to explain the missing fossils by saying that ‘the fossil record is extremely imperfect.’ The imperfect fossil record, coupled with the lack of worldwide geological ...
- 598: Possibility of Terraforming One of Earth's Neighboring Planets
- ... called Terraforming: Engineering Planetary Environments. I have chosen Fogg's book as my second primary source because it is the only book of its kind that addresses the question of terraforming in a non- science fiction context. The successful terraformation of a planet requires the synthetic development of a biosphere. The problems that present themselves are indigenous to the Geophysical and chemical properties of each test subject (planet). Overcoming these obstacles ...
- 599: Plan and Purpose (Creation) or Time and Chance (Evolution)?
- ... face projected forward, its backswept sides creating “streamlined” cheekbones. The large nose might have been either flat or bulbous. The powerful chinless jaw held larger front teeth than humans, and molars tended to contain big pulp cavities. Neanderthals were short, extremely muscular, and stocky, with large joints and hands. Neanderthals were simply fossils that were put together by evolutionists, consisting of an apelike skull, and a small human body which is ...
- 600: Human Cloning Isn't as Scary as It Sounds
- ... the power of the technology, but in the misunderstanding of its significance. Producing a clone of a human being would not amount to creating a "carbon copy"— an automaton of the sort familiar from science fiction. It would be more like producing a delayed identical twin. And just as identical twins are two separate people—biologically, psychologically, morally and legally, though not genetically—so a clone is a separate person from ...
