Can it be a possibility that those clouds of alcohol have to chance to potentially "sanitize" microbes that one day could lead to complex and or intelligent life? - Speaking of the Romans, do you think Latin is a better language than English for science and mathematics? - How can we get the slope of hills when the earth is round and not flat picture of a curve? - How can one achieve file fragmentation in a filesystem designed for archive files? For example how can one append x number of sectors to a static list of Tar Posix Headers and file data sections. - Do you have any ideas on how to solve protein folding? Would your math research help with this problem? - Is there a relation between the classification of finite simple groups and your physics theory?
