General Science / Dehydration question

« on: 13/07/2006 03:18:05 »

If you were lost in the desert with only 1 bottle of water left, would you survive longer if you chug it all at once or keep drinking small amounts when you feel you have to?

General Science / What is animal reanimation?

What is animal reanimation?

I was searching for it on Google when I found a really old film from the 1940's that showed an experiment where they revived dogs after 9 - 15 minutes of being dead! I never heard about this before and I'm not even sure if it’s true, anyway if it's real where are we now in this field 66 years later, or where did it take us?

Just Chat! / 9/11 documentary

« on: 22/05/2006 00:53:29 »

The movie '911 Loose Change' had been top 10 on google for a few weeks and is currently the 1st
if you've seen it, what do you think about the scientific analysis? how the buildings collapsed and the plane evaporating and the crash site and all these things.. do you belive that there was a conspiracy or no?

General Science / Nicotine patches

« on: 12/05/2006 18:16:36 »

There will be a smoking ban in my city 'Montreal' starting the 31st of may, so I thought since I won't be able to smoke at bars or restaurants I might as well do what I have been trying to do for years (stop smoking!)
Nicotine patches are offered for free on Medicare so I got them last week, but didn’t start applying them, I’m thinking of waiting till the 31st.

So the question is do they work??

The house keeper told me that my apartment gets dustier than other apartments because I smoke cigarettes! I have a lot of friends over almost everyday, and many of them smoke too.
Is it true? How does it happen?

General Science / What is dreaming and why do we dream?

« on: 27/04/2006 14:37:38 »

I have  couple of questions about dreaming
the first one is, what exactly is dreaming and why do we dream? i saw in a documentary once that "dreaming is like defragmenting your brain", and in it they conducted some experiments and conculded that people that dreamt did better in tests, or if you dreamt about your exam you'll do better than if you didn't. (http://www.pbs.org/saf/previous.htm  but not sure which one of them sorry, check out the website if you dont know it and if you want to watch an episode click on the small eye icon)

the second question is about people born blind, do they dream? do they see colours or do they hear sounds in their dreams instead?
