Re: Falling stars
Des, please read this post and give me some indication that you have done so.
http://EvC Forum: Restrictions for Desdamona
This discussion of DNA "sharing" sounds like an interesting topic. If Des wants to propose a new topic I might be convinced to add it to the list of restricted topics listed in the first link here.
This topic though, is Big Bang Problem.

I don't know what your education is. I do know what you post. You keep posting howlers.

I've placed a reponse in Message 22. I invite others who feel they must respond to off-topic stuff to consider using this Free for all thread. I think that should be ok; it is there for rants.

O.K. I suppose it's fair to say that I'm not in college at the present time.

Re: Falling stars
Sylas,please don't think I'm trying to be rude,I'm really not.But you wrote such a lovely page on the rules and ideas here,I just wonder why you didn't act this way when discussing things with me,and knowing full well I was a newcomer,and with limited knowledge about these subjects,and things?
Where was the loving kindness that you profess?

Re: Falling stars
Incredibly, you just demonstrated to us all that you have absolutely no idea what causes STD's and such. Refer to Sylas' posts for proper explanation.

This is a fair question, but off topic in the thread. I have posted my answer at Message 23.

Re: Falling stars
This is your opinion,I'll tell that to my fellow CNA friends,o.k?
What has this to do with falling stars? I am trying to learn DNA and find the message board to reply to your question on DNA.
Why do we have falling stars?

Off-topic; but the association with "falling stars" is at least a bit astronomical, so I'll answer.
No. "Falling stars" are actually meteorites; small chunks of rock from within our own solar system that have collided with Earth. They appear bright because they burn up in the atmosphere.
There have been speculations about life being carried to Earth on meteors; and for this being a cause of occasional epidemics of disease. Those speculations are without evidence, and impossible given what we know of disease and meteorites. The possibility of life being transferred from one planet to another is on the edge of credibility, and deserves serious consideration despite being highly unlikely; but this has nothing to do with "germs", which are bacteria from Earth.
A star would be very much larger than the Earth. Our Sun is a star. The other stars you see in the sky are like the Sun, but anything from 15 million to 50 billion times further away; and that is just the ones which are close enough to be fairly bright. Stars are much much larger than the Earth.
Meaning no offense... did you know about this difference between stars and falling stars? I'm sorry if I'm repeating the obvious; but at this stage I am honestly unsure what you know about stars and falling stars.
Cheers -- Sylas
Added in edit. In the above, exchange the terms "meteor" and "meteorite", in all cases. I know the difference, but I tend to mix up the terms. Thanks to Rocket for the correction.

Re: Falling stars
A little clarification.
Meteors burn up in the atmosphere, depending on size (one the size of a grain of sand can be visible) and chemical makeup affects luminosity (the outgasing of the material).
Meteorites are actually dense enough to survive atmospheric aerothermal heating and impact the surface of the earth.
