Actually, if all of the ice tied up in glacier, ice caps and oceanic ice melted, It would raise sea level well over 100 feet. It has happened before, it will happen again.If water expands when it freezes.
Perfectly understandable Dr B its the classic case of not knowing if you are coming or going. []You are already travelling in time, forward, at the speed of one second per second, local time(frame). To travel backwards in time, you'd have to be travelling both forwards and backwards at the same time; backwards to get to when you're going, and forwards so that you go back after you've been forward, instead of before, which is the normal way of things.
Travelling back in time is a bit problematic.
Is anyone else confused by that or is it just me? []
Depends on what it was supposed to do.If the answer to that is nothing then it probably worked.
Did it work?
Was it worthwhile?Depends again.If it was to make those who took part feel good about them self.Then probably yes.
That living in the dark is not much fun?.
Does it leave any solid conclusions?
I guess this then gets back to chicken and egg horse and cart stuff.Which comes first.
This could just be us nit-picking about language, but I don't think water does anything for a 'reason' as in an ultimate aim. The fact that water does this is good, as it supports life, but that's not why it does it, it's a consequence. There's no reason why some water molecules would become a lake, or a river, they are caused to do it phy physical and chemical causes, and the consequence is the lake.
I don't know about hydrogen atoms but as far as water goes I would imagine the reason it does what it does is to get water from were it gathers,oceans,rivers.lakes and the like.to the land were it is used to support life.Are reason and observation not one and the same thing.Is science not mainly based on observation that leads to the question why(reason).
There's no reason why hydrogen atoms combine in a star, or water molecules evaporate and then condense again to fall as rain - there are causes, but no reason. Everything breaks down to chemistry and physics, where there may be causes, but there is no 'reason'.
I am all for an open mind and yes if it turns out to be the Flying Spaghetti Monster or anything else then so be it.I close my mind to nothing.Is there a designer yes that is a possibility.Did the universe just pop into existence at the big bang yes, and currently that is the popular theory.Has the universe been here for ever,possibly but it has lost favor of late.Are we just one of many universes,there are scientists that think so.Is all we see just one big hologram,probably not.
Far better to open our minds and start out with the assumption that there is no reason, then as we learn a reason may develop.
It is difficult to imagine the universe popping into existence.Well is that not what the big bang theory postulates.
However, if you postulate that a god or "intelligent designer" created the universe, there's 2 things popping to existence, the God, and the universe.No only one as presumably the designer already existed.If he popped into existence at the same time as the universe how could he have designed it.
Does the planet need saving...from Earth Hour?
