Try http://www.shatters.net/celestia/ It doesnt have the Kuiper belt, I don't think, but otherwise it's very good.
Man, I need to tell the physics faculty about this. It'll make their lives so much easier to have to deal with only one force. And the astronomy...
It might be theoretically possible, but I don't think the sound barrier in water would be as significant. In air it was such a problem because the...
It is important to consider that, although life on earth can be found in extreme environments, it probably did not originate there (deep sea vents...
Until philosophy and religion can satisfactorily (that is, with verifiable, reproducable results and predictions) explain gravity, electricity,...
It's difficult to tell what sort of particle ejection occurs in stellar flares, since all we have to go on are spectra. We can estimate temperature,...
Ok, just for fun: what is the correct science for understanding reality? And why is physics so good at it, if it's incorrect? So the sun and moon...
Sounds very lovely and mystical. Too bad this is a science board. I've always been interested in the use of "energy" in new age mysticism. You...
Anything involving downhill skiing.
Try this too: http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/TOCmarsmain.html For whatever reason, in 2002 they decided to change which direction longitude...
Dust clouds are normally in equilibrium in space: the random motions of their particles (temperature) tries to press outward, and gravity tries to...
Good question. As far as I know, the only people who claim to have an explanation are string/M-theorists. I don't know about the details of their...
Quantum theory is hardly science fiction. It's just very strange. It has been rigorously tested and is used everywhere. The computer you're using...
Maybe I was unclear. My argument was that our explanations are flawed, but are the best that we currently have. Take your example of the flat earth:...
Your qualm with the big bang is not technically a problem. If the universe began with the big bang, and the big bang started with lots and lots of...
The Big Bang theory (note: that's a scientific theory, make sure you understand what that means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory) says that the...
Sounds like you're asking about spherical trigonometry. That is - distances between objects on the imaginary "celestial sphere". For that, check...
MT, I skimmed through your proposal, and there is nothing there. I have a degree in astrophysics and have done research in star formation, and your...
The neutron star theory is not one that is taken seriously by astronomers. mstarry, you pretty much have it right. Check...
I got exactly the same. No arguments :) Pretty accurate test I'd say.
