Song Lyrics

At eight o'clock we said goodbye
That's when I left her house for mine
She said that she'd be staying in
Well, she had to be at work by nine
So I get home and have a bath
And let an hour or two pass
Drifting in front of my TV
When a film comes on that she wants to see
It's Monday morning 5:19
And I'm still wondering where she's been
'Cause every time I try to call
I just get her machine
And now it's almost 6 a.m.
And I don't want to try again
'Cause if she's still not back
Then this must be the end
At first I guess she's gone
To get herself a pack of cigarettes
A pint of milk
Food for the cat
But it's midnight now
And she's still not back

It's Monday morning 5:19
And I'm still wondering where she's been
'Cause every time I try to call
I just get her machine
And now it's almost 6 a.m.
And I don't want to try again
'Cause is she's still not back
Well, Heaven knows what then
Is this the end?
At half past two, I picture her
In the back of someone else's car
He runs his fingers through her hair
Oh, you shouldn't let him touch you there
It's Monday morning 5:19
And I'm still wondering where she's been
'Cause every time I try to call
I just get her machine
And now it's almost 6 a.m.
And I don't want to try again
'Cause is she's still not back
Well, heaven knows what then
Is this the end?

Questions for Debating

1. Beyond the earth; that is, if you leave the earth or whenever you think of the Space, what do you think in the first place? And why?

2. Since World War 2, some nations like the U.S., Russia, and China have been interested in exploring the space which takes colossal money and sometimes many astronauts' lives. Explain why those countries are spending such a big amount of money and human lives?

3. Explain why people particularly are interested in Mars though there are many planets in the space.?

4. Do you believe other kinds of creatures existing in other planets in the universe?

5. It will be very likely to journey the space in the future. If you have any chance to travel or live in Mars, will you come along with that journey? If so, why? If not, why?

6. There are many unknown places where you want to take a travel. Please name specific places and tell the reason?

No proof of water found, Mars rover may have journey ahead

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — NASA's Spirit rover traveled 300 million miles to search for evidence that frozen, dry Mars was once a wetter planet capable of supporting life. But scientists now say their best chance for finding that evidence may be out of the robot's range.

Spirit landed in Gusev Crater, a 95-mile-wide depression thought by some to have contained a lake in the ancient past, but it has turned out to be far from a pristine dry lake bed.The broad depression appears to have been blanketed by volcanic debris and scoured by the wind, with the deposits of lake sediments that scientists had hoped to find either buried or erased by 4 billion years of vigorous geologic activity.

"Goodness knows what you might have stripped away," said Mars scientist Maria Zuber, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

That means Spirit might have to roam farther than NASA expected to find the evidence scientists seek. The most promising place appears to be in a group of hills that NASA is not even sure the rover can reach.

"It might take a bit of searching to find," said Dave Des Marais, of NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View and a member of the mission science team.

Scientists say the hills, which rise hundreds of feet above the martian plain, represent a far bigger slice of the planet's history than the relatively shallow crater Spirit is visiting first.But the hills are farther away than Spirit was designed to travel, even if the solar-powered rover outlasts its three-month lifetime. Still, mission engineers continue to calculate how much ground Spirit would have to cover to reach their slopes.Scientists are also holding out hope that the rocks in Spirit's more immediate surroundings could be the smoking gun. Examples would include any carbonate rocks, such as limestone, that form in water.

"Rocks are like little time capsules. They remember what formed them and the time that formed them," Des Marais said.

Short of that, the closest evidence could be as close as 825 feet away, inside a crater that the air bag-swaddled Spirit nearly landed in when it bounced down on the planet two weeks ago.As Spirit zigzags toward that depression, rolling dozens of yards a day, the robot geologist should come across older rocks. Once at the crater, scientists hope Spirit can reach the rim and peer down. The rover has nine cameras, including a microscopic imager, and a rock drill to examine the terrain.

Scientists hope to find the crater walls striped with horizontal layers of sedimentary rocks, which would suggest that Gusev once sloshed with water.A second martian spacecraft, Opportunity, is on track to land Jan. 24 halfway around the planet from Spirit. Its landing site abounds in a mineral called gray hematite, which is associated with liquid water.
 

Q  

If black holes devour their neighboring matter, won't this lead to ever-larger black holes which will eventually swallow ALL matter, with a final merging of all the black holes into the final singularity, with repetition of Big Bang etc.?

Since black holes "swallow" all matter near them, doesn't it follow that at some point in the distant future they will consume all matter in the universe?

If a black hole is a "gateway" to another universe, wouldn't there be foreign (other universe) black holes poking into OUR universe, and if so, how should they be recognizable as such?

Q

Part 4 of STEPHEN HAWKING'S UNIVERSE was puzzling. Everyone seems to be completely convinced of the existence of "dark matter" because of someone's measurement of the speed of individual stars in our galaxy. Yet all attempts to find or mathematically confirm‎ its existence proved futile. Now the search is on for a particle that is not known to exist but is present in sufficient quantity to confirm‎ the measurements.

As Karl Popper said, "We hate the very idea that we may be mistaken, so we cling dogmatically to our conjectures." Is it possible that all these measurements of speed (rate of expanding universe, velocity of stars in our galaxy, etc.) are based on false assumptions and, thus, leading the scientists astray?

Q

If the most distant galaxies we see today appear as young galaxies about 1 billion years old and the entire universe is probably about 15 billion years old, where would they be located in the universe today when you consider that 14 billion years has passed prior to our observations?

Q

The residual energy of the Big Bang is supposed to be detectable with a simple radio receiver. If this is true, at what frequency can it be detected?

Q

Why was there slightly more matter than antimatter in the early universe and not equal amounts of each?

Q  

Because looking out in space is looking back in time, how can we map the present universe? For example, a galaxy 1 billion light-years away appears as it did a billion years ago, not as it does today.

Q  

If it turns out that the universe is closed and at some point falls back on itself, what can we expect from time? Will it actually reverse itself and the cosmos run backwards like a movie projector?

Q  

I once heard you could visualize the expanding universe as being similar to a balloon being inflated. Would this mean that all, or most, of the galaxies exist on the surface of this imaginary balloon? If so, what occupies the space between the center of the balloon and its surface? And when we look at a distant object, are we looking through the interior of the balloon to the surface on the other side?

Q  

How can the Universe be both infinite and expanding? An infinite universe would, by definition, be everywhere, and would have no other place into which it could expand.  Can you give me an answer that will help me grasp this concept? Thank you.

I have read that the universe has no center, but also that the shape of the universe is a hypersphere, which—if I remember my topology correctly—has a center. So what is meant by a center-less universe?

Also, in structures througout the universe, some residual angular momentum seems to cause a disk shape preference over a spherical shape. Is there any reason to believe that the universe itself has angular momentum and thus exhibits a disk shape?

Q  

Paradox 1: If someone in our future went back in time to change an event or thing, the change would not be in our known time but in the time that was to come after the change. So if I have three brothers and I am sitting with one and the other goes back in time and kills the one I am sitting with, wouldn’t he only be dead in the time in which he was killed and still be sitting next to me in our time?

Paradox 2: If I go back in time and meet myself at an earlier age, say at 15 years old (I am now 67), and I happen to select ahead of travelling there what day and hour it would be, and what was taking place at that time in the past, and I go back there to meet myself and talk to myself knowing full well that at that time a 67-year-old version of myself never showed up . . . then how could I think that I could actually be there since that moment never existed in the past? Once I did arrive there, then it wouldn’t be the “past” at all because I would be there saying things to myself and being in an environment where a 67-year-old version of myself had never been. I think that time is forever locked and the past (or the future for that matter) can never be reached because going there would alter what really took place, and then it would no longer be the actual “past.”

Q  

Why, during the formation of a black hole, does the star have to be perfectly round? Has this been proven, or is it just a theory?

Q  

What is hyperspace?

Q  

According to Hubble’s Law, the galaxies are receding from one another. If that’s true, how can two galaxies collide with one another? (The Milky Way is supposed to collide with Andromeda Galaxy; and the Hubble Space Telescope recently took pictures of two galaxies colliding.)

Q   

What would an antimatter universe be like?

Q   

How do we know that galaxies with higher velocities are farther away? Isn’t it possible that a fast-moving galaxy could be closer to us than a slower moving galaxy?

Q   

If Earth is over four billion years old, how is it possible that most of the radioactive elements are still here when many of them have half-lives of only thousands of years?
