We all know that absolute zero is the lowest temperature achievable in our universe but is there a maximum? I don't mean maximum by "there is x finite energy and matter and if we converted it all into heat that is the maximum" but is there a point where we cant excite atoms any more?	341
How come birds dont push themselves down when they pick their wings back up?	7
If you take mass and shrink it down below its Schwarzschild radius we get a black hole. So why do we not get an uncountable number of black holes inside of black holes. I imaged close to the singularity all things are crushed down to smaller than the Schwarzschild radius?	5
Is there a point where further miniaturization of transistors will no longer be possible and we will hit a stopping point for computers getting more powerful?	5
How come though out the history of earth you hear all about all these asteroids hitting the earth and changing life massively causing, earthquakes on impact, tsunamis, decade long winters, and yet they just don't happen any more?	2
We all know that the Kola Borehole in Russia is the deepest we have explored into the earth. But I have not been able to find anything that we learned from it. Did we learn nothing at all from it?	2
As the human race progresses and we start sending more and more material from earth into space at some point might we send enough (over the course of thousands of years) to lower gravity?	1
So apparently we have found 100 times more oil on titan than on earth. If oil is mostly biodegradable things like plants and dinos ect ect ect how is this possible?	1
What did the Kola Superdeep Borehole actually teach us? Is there any plans by any nation or independent group to try and go deeper now that materials and technology have come farther?	1
What would happen if I took a pole say 1 light year long (the size is arbitrary to the question) anchored it on one side and spun that end of it as CLOSE, I mean literally as close too as you can down to the smallest unit but not exceeding the speed of light in a circle.	1
