Well, I was searching to see if this was already made, but the searches didn't show a thread with my idea so here it is. I am making this thread so we can have a typical tavern discussion thread for all things science! Basically, a thread for everything science! Ranging from discussions about laws and theories, scientific debate, breakthroughs, discussion about new scientific breakthroughs, certain scientists/philosophers, and all that good stuff! So go out there and let out your inner science! ;P To get us going somewhere I'll start: what do you think the future holds for technology? I think our knowledge will allow us to overcome the obstacles thrown at us in the future, I mean, we have discovered so much and have come so far!
An unsolved problem. "Why doesn't the zero-point energy density of the vacuum change with changes in the volume of the universe? And related to that, why doesn't the large constant zero-point energy density of the vacuum cause a large cosmological constant? What cancels it out?"
I think nanotech can be a great bane or a terrible boon. Too powerful and thus too dangerous. If it were not for humanity's idiocy, nanotech would be a very good tool, but idiots will use it in a very idiotic way. **** YOU HUMANITY!!!!!!!

Same goes for any and all technology. We have so many morons, yet, as a whole we still take great risk. If we don't takes risks then what...
It would be so much easier if we go do away with morons... But that's cruel and inhumane :P
Now if somehow everyone became smarter, yay for science!
I say we teach the public about Darwinian evolution by weeding out the dumb and malformed, not by concentration camps and mass "cleansing" of the populace, but by not giving them every little thing they ask for. Hot coffee is hot, if you don't know that, YOU DESERVE TO BE BURNED!!!
