  1. Without the Higgs boson (Higgs field), all matter would move at the speed of light.Dark energy causes expansion of the universe, this is held in check by the higgs field. These two fields cancel each other out almost exactly. The resulting value is Einstein's cosmological constant which needs to lie within very narrow limits; the value is fine tuned to a hundred decimal places in order to allow a universe to exist long enough for intelligent life to evolve. Some people take this as evidence that our universe is just an infinitesimal small part a vast multiverse.My question is, will the existence of the Higgs boson be found? Or will we have to rewrite the standard model?
  2. Spirit is from the source of the energy that is manifest through a person, where as belief is an idea formulated from knowledge. Spiritual also carries emotional overtones and belief tends to exist in the absence of perfect knowledge. If you see something is true, then what place for belief?
  3. Hi folks,Just wondering, as a newbie website builder, where can I get some useful HTML, CSS templates suitable for building a small business website?What is the best development environment for building websites? Is there a good open source program available?, or is it best to spend some money on something like Dreamweaver?Does anyone have experience of adding databases to Xisto sites, perhaps using Wamp server?
  4. Wow your site looks great! I am just staring to learn PHP, as my language is Java. It may seem like a daft question, but isn't it possible to get the dimensions of the screen from the browser, and then present the web page layout according to the space available?
  5. With the US investing $700 bn into the capital markets to increase liquidity in the banking system apparently the US government does not have a problem borrowing money; the $700bn bailout is being borrowed from international money markets. Although half of the US debt is held by the Federal reserve about 30% is held by international investers/governments. The US public debt is now at about 60% GDP. If inflation increases then the value of this debt to be repaid to foreign investors is reduced. Similarly, if the dollar falls in value, the value of the debt returned to foreign borrowers will be reduced.If borrowers outside the US stop lending to the US then there could be big problems affecting the supply of money available to the US government to spend. The money supply could be maintained by printing money, but this could lead to hyper-inflation. The way inflation is controlled is through Interest Rates. This causes a problem because with a large amount of public debt the amount that has to be paid each year in interest to maintain the debt will also increase. How have you been affected by the credit crunch?
  6. Get Blender3D, its probably the best free 3D graphics program out there. It has good video tutorials as well. It supports many types of exports, e.g.wavefront, .3ds
  7. It doesn't have to be like that. Once settled in the job the developer should keep themself in shape. Begin with yoga to encourage flexibility, and then take up some sports. Live somewhere where you've got nice places to go cycling or running or kayaking, sailing, climbing. Old age can be offset through keeping physically fit, not to mention avoiding heart attacks etc. Whats the point in developing software but not developing the body. The software will come and go, the results of neglecting to develop the body last a lifetime.
  8. I too would like to say Hello World. The Web is a great technology to learn about. This site offers great features for websites, such as PHP, MySql and Java. With knowledge of these technologies you can make a lot of money. This looks like a good place to share knowledge. Thanks.
  9. Growing old sucks. First you count up, and then you start counting down. And would you really want to know what its like further down the road? No doubt some will say they are gloriously happy and live for there family etc., but nothing lasts forever. Which at some level is good, because otherwise there would never be a renewal.
  10. Thanks, very interesting. I believe the search may be based on a B Tree search which could branch by a factor of a 1000 for each node.
