  1. In Topic: Browns gas

    36hitman, there is no doubt Browns gas will burn, it explodes quite easily. :) The problem is that it takes more energy to make browns gas than you get back from burning it. :shrug: Running your car on browns gas your cars generator makes is the same thing as perpetual motion. :)
    Exactly; while brown's gas is more than happy to turn back into water, water isin't happy to turn into brown's gas.

    360Hitman, The energy you'll have to put into making brown's gas will ideally be equal to the energy you get from making it. In real life, that energy will be higher.

    If you run your car with a brown's gas generator, your car's mileage will go down, because the generator will create inductive resistance to the car's motion.

    Now this drop in mileage will partially be compensated in the brown's gas' energy, but only partially.
  2. In Topic: Have human males past their biological "use-by" date?

    You probably are right; I can't exactly find any examples to substantiate anything I've said.

    That's the problem with a hastily typed post. You never get your complete word across.

    The biggest difference between the two is the different concentrations of androgens and estrogens found in the separate sexes - the main androgen making humans physically different from those without a large concentration of it, of course, being testosterone...

    ...The main difference between the sexes is chemical, and from that we can indeed "stereotype" with your tags of "aggressive", "thoughtful", "petty-competitive", etc...
    You are correct of course.

    On an average, males do have a higher (an order of magnitude higher) amount of testosterone.

    And yes, testosterone does increase the mental and physical energy of the person; this combined with the tendency to affect the flight or fight response (Link) does appear to translate into a more aggressive tendency in some individuals.

    What, however I wish to get across is the matter of what different individuals do with this increased energy. Frustrated individuals would obviously get aggressive more easily, those lacking a satisfaction of their status would get petty competitive, etc. Along the same lines, those having a lower testosterone level, and a lower amount of ready mental energy arising from it would be slower to react to situations, and thus give their minds more time to think about the matter at hand.

    A guy is a prick (figuratively) if he allows himself to be one. Take, however a conditioned guy, one who's been taught from childhood to be thoughtful, non impulsive, and he can use his aggressive tendencies in a way that appears to exhibit the nature to be precisely what testosterone actually does induce: energetic.

    Think of examples. Haven't you seen any nice and energetic guys? What would you guess their testosterone levels to be?:phones:

    In addition, men can have somewhat low testosterone levels, and females can have higher testosterone levels; naturally. Now I'm not sure of a direct connection, but you probably do get to see gentle-loving fathers, and aggressive-protective mothers. Probably arises due to the changed testosterone levels.

    Hey... we're the ones who gets pissed off here... :D
  4. In Topic: Have human males past their biological "use-by" date?

    I am rather disappointed by the tone that his discussion had taken.

    In my opinion, males and females are not factions that can be stereotyped with a number of tags. Tags such as 'aggressive', 'thoughtful', 'petty-competitive' can be attributed to individuals; not genders.

    The fact that these attributes are brought on by the so called gender roles (or their equivalents) in various cultures is a different matter.

    That's my thoughts in a nutshell; I'll be able to write more later...

    That's disgusting... I'd rather have normal-large muscles, just with a lot of power.

    A digital representation of you could have that.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

When we launched in May 2000, we wanted to create a site to share science-related content of all kinds on the web. As time passed, our site turned into a pure science forum with lots of cool people.

So we kept the name Hypography and the cool science forum community - and aim to be a friendly place for discussion of science topics of all kinds.
