YA? What the HELL IS he talking about. Venus has a surface temp. that will melt lead!
NOT a good place to visit. Even the Damn Landers only last a short time before they fail.

Have YOU been to Venus???
You are KIDDING ME RIGHT? We have mapped the entire surface of Venus and have had probes land on the Planet.
Or are You a Venusian???

But wait, this is all going on the big bang theory. I don't think it's possible that the big bang ever took place.
String theory is an active research framework in particle physics that attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity. It is a contender for a theory of everything (TOE), a self-contained mathematical model that describes all fundamental forces and forms of matter. String theory posits that the elementary particles (ie. electrons and quarks) within an atom are not 0-dimensional objects, but rather 1-dimensional oscillating lines ("strings"). The earliest string model, the bosonic string, incorporated only bosons, although this view developed to the superstring theory, which posits that a connection (a "supersymmetry") exists between bosons and fermions. String theories also require the existence of several extra dimensions to the universe that have been compactified into extremely small scales, in addition to the four known spacetime dimensions.
A group of 3 researchers, Jun Nishimura (associate professor at KEK), Asato Tsuchiya (associate professor at Shizuoka University) and Sang-Woo Kim (project researcher at Osaka University) has succeeded in simulating the birth of the universe, using a supercomputer for calculations based on superstring theory. This showed that the universe had 9 spatial dimensions at the beginning, but only 3 of these underwent expansion at some point in time. This work will be published soon in Physical Review Letters. In this study, the team established a method for calculating large matrices (in the IKKT matrix model), which represent the interactions of strings, and calculated how the 9-dimensional space changes with time. In the figure, the spatial extents in 9 directions are plotted against time. If one goes far enough back in time, space is indeed extended in 9 directions, but then at some point only 3 of those directions start to expand rapidly. This result demonstrates, for the first time, that the 3-dimensional space that we are living in indeed emerges from the 9-dimensional space that superstring theory predicts.

What if those fails are really successes?
Just to keep people from asking the most common and, to me, the dumbest question ever: Is there life out there?
Obvious answer yes. Who are they? Don't know, never met them. All I know, is that we are never alone.

Venus, why is Venus still holding mass?
If it's covered by a sulfuric cloud and has a surface temperature of a close 800 degrees F. then why is it still holding mass instead of being a big blob of goo?
I question where you got your sources.edit on 20-9-2012 by FreedomCommander because: (no reason given)
