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
Would mining asteroids and bringing the mass back to our planet over a few hundred years add gravity to our planet or would the amount of mass we keep shooting into space keep up with it? Im not talking about adding or subtracting an entire 1m/s to it but a few zeros in?	1
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.	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
Do we actually have free will? Or do we always take the percived path of least resistance?	1
Say we submerged someone in water and it was at room temperature and increasing it by only 1 degree a day. Giving the body ample time to adjust to the temperature. Would they feel a burn once the water got to the point where it could cause burns?	1
If we know the location of super volcanoes that could potentially end life if they erupt why dont we bleed the pressure some how now over the course of a few decades or hundred years and make it so they never have a super eruption?	1
Is there a scale for time dilation as in. At speed A you experience .5 seconds every second relative to object C. At speed B you experience .7 seconds every second relative to object C. So on and so forth?	1
When it comes to cooling a space what is better, a cool slow stream of air or a fast but warmer (thats still cool) stream of air?	1
Have we reached the limit at which language can transfer knowledge?	1
