More proof for
my scientific theories – that Ganymede use to be a planet:
If Ganymaede was orbiting the sun - it would be a planet - being larger than Mercury, but instead by it orbiting another planet becomes a moon - interesting thought though - this might be evidence further than Jupiter might be just a very small would have been star?
this is all taken from: http://education-portal.com/academy/lesson/jupiters-moon-ganymede-facts-diameter-quiz.html#lesson

"Ganymede's Characteristics
A moon is an object that orbits a planet or other large bodies in space. Ganymede, as mentioned in the introduction, orbits Jupiter, which is the largest planet in the solar system. It takes Ganymede approximate seven 'earth days' to orbit Jupiter. Ganymede's diameter is approximately 3,273 miles, which makes it also wider than Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. In terms of mass, this moon is also the largest, although it has less mass than most of the other planets in the solar system. Interestingly enough, it is large enough to see with the naked eye.Ganymede has an atmosphere (layer or layers of gases) that contains oxygen, ozone, and hydrogen. It also has a magnetosphere, which is an atmosphere that contains charged molecules controlled by a magnetic field. It is the only moon in the solar system to contain this arrangement.
Ganymede contains a core that is composed of iron, and this core is surrounded by a layer of ice and rock. The surface contains many craters, or deep depressions, and also has many intricate grooves that may have formed from shifting in the crust, or upper layer. Scientists also believe that Ganymede may contain saltwater ocean-like bodies beneath the surface above the core." - http://education-portal.com/academy/lesson/jupiters-moon-ganymede-facts-diameter-quiz.html#lesson

Dark energy and
dark matter – and there is only 1% of actual matter – most of it is
“nothingness” = I don’t know
Yes - one of those very disturbing bits of science that we really don't know what over 75% of the Universe is made of - but we do know it is there.
-
Will it be
possible for humans to live on other planets?
What do you think after this week? What would we need to do so?
-
All aliens will
be gold based life form quadruple D.N.A., awesome spaceships, homes, vehicles…. They are going to be awesome!!!
Life within our solar system will probably closely related - but that of planets etc in galaxies elsewhere - who knows!!!
-
Theory: the universe isn’t “expanding” - that the dark energy is pulling it apart
good way of describing it, depends on how you see it.
-
If there are
other universes
According to M theory and others - it sure is looking most likely

A LOT
o If the sun died – will it swallow Earth?
It won't "Swallow" it - but it will toast it to evaporate all of it's water - but - it will make the rest of the universe possibly a better place to be?
"the heating Sun will evaporate the Earth’s oceans away, and then solar radiation will blast away the hydrogen from the water. The Earth will never have oceans again. It will eventually become molten again.
One interesting side benefit for the Solar System. Even though the Earth, at a mere 1.5 astronomical units, will no longer be within the Sun’s habitable zone, much of the Solar System will be. The new habitable zone will stretch from 49.4 AU to 71.4 AU, well into the Kuiper Belt. The formerly icy worlds will melt, and liquid water will be present beyond the orbit of Pluto. Perhaps Eris will be the new homeworld."- http://www.universetoday.com/12648/will-earth-survive-when-the-sun-becomes-a-red-giant/

Is there a
planet with aliens on it?
i hope so! bring your parents to the Drake equation site and see what they think:

What does the
universe look like?
I still think the jury is out - and it is up to you - but if the universe just happens to look like one brain cell - like most of you said "wait !!! shouldn't there be more brain cells and we are part of someone else's brain?" - i like that idea very much

The universe is
going to end in ice
depends on if you think the universe will expand into nothingness or compress into the big crunch - or become the next bit bang.

How many stars
are in the universe

The sun burning
out **
yes - that will happen, but we have billions upon billions of years before that happens. More Billions of years than the Earth has been alive so far.
Projects that would be fun & questions about the
class?
Can we dress up like aliens?
Model of a ship to Mars –
what would that look like? – if I was designing it
VAcume cleaner as a black
hole?
OTHER IN CLASS QUESTIONS:
How did people come up with the idea that worm-holes could transport you across time?
How did people come up with the idea that worm-holes could transport you across time?
My guess is when people were able to imagine space time like fabric - our first association other than cloths and wearing it is the holes we can get in it - and if there is a hole in space / time - where does it go to? Much like a black hole - which definitely this concept gained speed when blackholes were confirmed "where do they go?"
many people want to know where stuff goes in a black hole... many many different theories that i can't even begin to start warping into something useful check out the videos for starters and NASA's sight: http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/science/know_l2/black_holes.html
How many Universes are there?
ooooohh - are there videos:
Is there an end to the Universe? Is the end of the universe a giant wall of Black holes?
Great question!!! - possibly.
right now our scientists are so consumed about asking "what came before" - what comes next is completely out of the spectrum.... like politics and life... we forget to look forward rather than driving through the rear-view mirror. I suggest that this is an area you look into. Not enough work is being done here for sure because it does involve a lot of guess work - and to do that - you have to be bold.
How big can a black hole get?
I don't know. I know they can only eat what is within instant reach - not a super-sucking machine - and i do understand that they can get "full" more or less.
i'm not certain, but here are some links:
