Why is Jesus story important for Christians? |
| Question found in Religion & Spirituality In General |
 |
|
Jesus story is not what is important. It is the teaching of Jesus. It is important to anyone. His teachings are very unique - so simple yet so profound. Let me point out a few aspects of his teaching. 1. He taught that God is our father and we are all children of God, that we must therefore love one another, that we can and must trust in God as he is a loving and merciful father. 2.He taught that on the last day we shall be judged on the basis of what we did to our brothers - the least of his brothers - on what we did about the hungry, the thirsty, the suffering ones. 3. He said that we must not put our trust in material things like money and that we must not worry or have anxiety. If you read the gospel of Mathew you shall see many such simple teachings where importance is given to humans especially the downtrodden and the marginalised. He was a great humanist. It is a pity that often the Christians forget that he was a teacher nor bother about his teachings. They, many of the preachers included, always speak of being holy by attending services, saying prayers, or donating to the church. They forget the teachings of Jesus. |

Why is ice slippery? |

Are there really incarnated angels on earth? |
| Question found in Spirituality In General |
|
| We are all incarnated angels. At least we must try to be. When we do good to others, when we live in love, we are angels incarnated. Doing evil, we become devil incarnates. |

I am told electromagnetic waves have two components at right angles - a magnetic field and an electrical field. I was always told that an electrical field is created when a current flows-say within a wire. So how can a wave have an electrical field when no particles such as electrons are present? |
| Question found in Physics |
|
|
The electric and magnetic fields causing the EM waves are produced when an electron experiences a change in its energy level. This point is just the source of the radiation. The waves or radiation then propagates through suitable medium or vacuum or space and it needs no more materials or electrons for it to move on. |

What happens when we exhale? |
| Question found in Biology |
|
|
Carbondioxide is given out. Breathing (inhaling and exhaling) is the essential process of life where the inhaled oxygen causes oxidation (burning) of the carbohydrates in our food produces the energy for living. In this process two products formed are carbondioxide and water. The inhaled air is rich in oxygen while the exhaled air is rich in carbondioxide and water vapour. |

What is the difference between nuclear fusion and nuclear fission? |
| Question found in Physics |
|
|
Both processes release energy. In fission, the nucleus of an isotope of a heavy element like uranium 235 is split (fission) into two lighter nuclei. In fusion on the other hand two nuclei of light elements like Deutrium (Hydrohen atom with a neutron as well as a proton) are made to fuse into one - that of helium. Nuclear fission is the common form used in all the nuclear reactors used for production of energy as well as for research purposes. These are dangerous as they leave a lot of nuclear waste - radio-active materials at the end of the reaction. Nuclear fusion reaction supplies clean energy - without any radio-active waste left around. But so far we have failed to produce a viable means of producing this on a commercial basis. |
