The Elixir of Life May Lie in Calorie Restriction

Science has known for some time that a calorie restricted diet will tend to add years to the life span. Laboratory research conducted with mice and dogs dating back to the 1930's demonstrated life extension by as much as 40%. While scientists knew this to be true based on empirical research, exactly why a calorie restricted diet has this surprising effect remained a mystery.

Chemistry Science Fair Projects You Can Use

Chemistry science fair projects have changed over the years; they've gotten a lot glitzier and much more technically involved. While this is has made it somewhat easier for parents, the modern trend in science fair projects tends to be to buy a science fair kit off the internet rather than make things yourself. We're going to cover old school style chemistry science fair projects that will set you apart.

7 Tips for Teaching Children Science

The world is changing fast. It's more important than ever to get your kids interested in science at an early age. And it's easier than you think. Find out how with these great tips on turning everyday activities into fun learning experiences.

Galaxies In The Outer Space World

Galaxies in the outer space world are multifaceted in that they often encompass many different kinds of outer space matter, such as star systems, dust particles, and gases. Each individual galaxy is filled with millions and trillions of bright, beautiful stars, and on each galaxy, these stars have their own distinct path, or orbit, to follow.

Can We Save Astronauts from Space Radiation

One of the biggest hurdles to travel in space will be preventing space radiation from killing our astronauts. Long-term space flight may be impossible because it might take many generations. If so, the space radiation will prevent the reproductive functions on the human body from working and therefore the spaceflight can not be longer than one human generation.

Traveling Faster than the Speed of Light Requires Some Tricks of Physics

If we had a 4D Galaxy Positioning System and could figure out our ever changing co-ordinance then all we would really have to do is stay put while everything else moved using an energy ball or energy blast. Once we had a shield around us keeping safe from harm we could then turn it off when we were on top of the location we wished to be at.

Spaghetti Origins?

It was during the nationwide discussion over the potential use of intelligent design being used as a theory in a science classroom that Bobby Henderson, a physics graduate from Oregon State University sent a letter to Kansas State Board of Education officials describing what has been termed a 'parody religion'. Henderson's new 'religion' was based on a levitating monster comprised of pasta and meatballs.

Isaac Newton's Alchemical Studies

Isaac Newton's alchemical studies: the influences of theology, philosophy, experimentation and textual interpretation on his work. Out of all Isaac Newton's myriad interests, alchemy appears to have been his passion. His famous works on optics, mechanics and mathematics were mere side-thoughts in comparison to the thirty years he spent on alchemy. He read hundreds of alchemical texts and wrote more than one million words in his notebooks. I will conclude that Newton cannot be seen as any less scientific or reasonable simply because he is a product of the time in which he lived. Newton's alchemical work is an important document in the history of science and also of history in general, for it encompasses theology, science and philosophy.

Musculoskeletal System - A Body in Movement

Did the musculoskeletal system evolve through natural processes or is it the product of an intelligent designer? This article explores this issue.

Enhanced ESP, Telepathy, and Mysticism in People with Autism

These remarkable individuals have led me to believe that the brain is a diffusing device rather than an emanating one. They may have easier access to altered states because their filtering devices - brain and sensory systems - are impaired. This massive disruption in normal processing may have forced them back into a dream-like state in which the right brain suddenly forced to take over left-brain functions. This in turn may allow for greater access to altered states of consciousness.

Why Science Is So Fun For Kids

Science is a fun subject for kids of all ages because of the hands-on activities that can be involved and because of the wide range of information it covers.
