Why is TNS unable to Retain New Members?

I've observed this Alot.

From somewhere or somehow, folks end up coming in here, but very very few stay back.
Most simply Disappear!

What can WE All do Collectively to Prevent this trend from Continuing?
This Brain Drain needs to be plugged ASAP!

Cells, Microbes & Viruses / Nematodes?

« on: 28/03/2023 19:55:04 »

Are They inside of Us?
If so, then Why does the Body not Attack or Kill them?
They are like Foreign/Alien bodies, then Why no Immune Attack?
How was the Symbiotic Mutually Beneficial Relationship formed?
For What Reasons?
Who signed the Agreement/Contract?

Geology, Palaeontology & Archaeology / Volcanic Eruptions?

« on: 02/02/2023 19:08:11 »

I am hearing this now Frequently on news & media.

Has the Frequency really increased?

Or it's business as usual, but Media is reporting it Alot more Often?

P.S. - perhaps I'm watching the same damm news again n again on different channels.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Time Dilation in reference to Gravity?

« on: 25/01/2023 17:57:08 »

I've viewed graphs online showing the Dilation relationship between
" Time vs Velocity ".

As Velocity increases, Time ticks Slower.
(Unable to post a Graph Image due to Copyright claims on it)

But even Gravity affects the Rate of ticking of Time, Right?
More Gravity, the Slower Time ticks.

I just want to Know an approximation of how much Mass is required to slow Time by 25% 50% 75% & 100% respectively.

Can anyone post a
" Time vs Gravity " graph in here showing Dilation relationship.
(If it's Copyrighted, even a Link to the Website would work out Great)

P.S. - I Hope this is a Sensible question to have been asked...lol

« on: 31/10/2022 18:19:44 »

I heard one can buy a CRISPR9 crash set online for like 70 bucks.

What happens when Religious Extremists Groups try their hands on producing harmful pathogens?

« on: 31/10/2022 18:16:18 »

Lots of Buzz over Climate Change & Global Warming...As Always.

But in Relatable terms, what's the Tipping Point?

Is it like a Point of No Return?

P.S. - How much Bad Stuff are We talking bout here?
Like Global Floods & Category 10 Hurricanes & Volcanic Eruptions & All?

Chemistry / Silicon based Life?

« on: 31/10/2022 18:05:38 »

I heard Carbon is Versatile.
You can make Alot of different Combinations of Molecules with it.

Isn't Silicon close to Carbon on the Periodic Table?

Can Silicon based Life really occur?

If Yes, Why haven't We seen any Fossilised Evidence of of it as Yet?

P.S. - I'm a Chemistry Dummy, so plz be Nice!

Just Chat! / How well prepared is Humanity to face a Major C.M.E.?

« on: 09/10/2022 00:29:58 »

How will Civilization cope with a major major Coronal Mass Ejection.

How equipped is our Technology to sustain a Humongous Solar Storm.

One that Obviously does not fry the whole planet, but rather fries all electronics.

Any views?

P.S. - perhaps a better question might have been to ask how does Europe plan on keeping itself warm during Winter.

Just Chat! / Pondering before the Big Bang?

« on: 06/10/2022 15:07:12 »

Right at the moment of the Big Bang, it is said the Space & Time originated.

But what out of both of them came First?

Was Space created & then Time started ticking?

Or did Time tick first & then Space formed?


P.S. - Specifically placing this OP in Just Chat so that Responders can excercise their freedom of expressing in a wild imaginative way.
👻
(I'm open to suggestions mentioning that both Space & Time originated at the exact same Zeptosecond)
